By KERI LINDENMUTH Spengler Brown Law Offices has helped residents and businesses of Bath with their legal needs for over 75 years. The practice was founded in 1946 by Elias Spengler, a Bath native who opened the practice after returning home from serving in World War II. Elias ran the law practice for over 40 years until his death, at which time his son Dan Spengler took over the business and continued his father’s impressive legacy. It was this legacy, 75-yearsstrong, that Bath Borough Council, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, and State Representative Ann Flood commemorated on Monday, March 7. Dan Spengler and his partner Steve Brown, who joined
the practice in 2021, were present to accept the citations from council and the PA House of Representatives. “I have always considered Bath my home,” said Spengler. “It is an honor, and I know my father would be proud if he were here.” “I look forward to continuing with the legacy Dan’s father [started],” added Brown, who was also surprised with a round of “Happy Birthday” by members of council and the public. “Thank you both for all that you have done here in this community,” Representative Flood said while presenting her citation to the legal team. “Seventy-five years here is a huge amount of time. I know you’re going to try for 100 years!”
By ED PANY This column is dedicated to former LaFarge employee Bill Mitchell. Mr. Lamont McLain was born in Allentown. In his youth the family moved to Egypt, Whitehall Township. He graduated from Whitehall High School in 1992. While a student, he served as a youth counselor and lifeguard with Camp Whitehall. Lamont said, “I just always enjoy being around kids.” He was a defensive tackle and center on the Whitehall Zephyr football team. With a smile Lamont recalled,
“I have great respect for Coach John Bendekovits, a great coach and good man. Bob Kratzer, a teacher and coach, also worked well with all his students.” After high school Mr. McLain attended Kutztown University and used his social skills supervising youth at a daycare center in Allentown. His cement odyssey started in 1995 when he was hired by the LaFarge corporation at a rate of $7.43 per hour. The plant's popular manager was Ed Galary.

Moore Elementary School participates in Glow Run
March 10-16, 2022 3
Grade 1
Grade 3 By CATHERINE STROH Moore Elementary School held its BoosterThon Glow Run on Friday, March 4 in the school gymnasium. The Glow Run concluded the week-long event hosted by BoosterThon, a fundraising organization that has been coming to the school for the past six years. Students reported to the gym by grade level throughout the day where they had 40 minutes to run laps around the gym. BoosterThon set up different types of lighting, an inflatable tunnel, played music, and students could stop every few minutes to break up the running to do what they wanted such as dance, shake, etc. Students could also stop halfway through, run the opposite direc-
tion, run on one leg, etc. to make the run more fun. Moore Elementary had a goal of $12,000 in mind for this year in their fundraising efforts, which they exceeded by $4,000. “Students completed 35 or more laps during the run, and
raised over $16,000 for classroom resources, supplies and supplemental materials. The kids and staff had an amazing time, and we'd like to thank all who supported this awesome event!” said Moore Elementary’s Principal Curtis Dimmick.

an attempt to capture water coming off the property and filter it to the culverts. Next on the agenda was the ongoing discussion of Pool Road. Traffic continues to illegally turn onto Pool Road and due to a number of issues, the township is limited on increasing signage. The township is submitting a proposal for this issue, they are submitting an exhibit of the signage to PennDOT for approval. If approved, the township would be able to increase signage and signs would also be larger. Township Manager Nick Steiner will soon be reaching out to a few residents concerning their detention basins that need to improve for the MS4 permit. Steiner will be sending out letters to those residents later this month. Supervisors continue to work with the township engineer to put together a road plan. The hope is to have a workshop in April to discuss which roads to prioritize to work on this year and also what the plan is moving forward. Next was a continued discussion on agritainment and agritourism zoning laws. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe provided sample ordinances from other neighboring townships including Plainfield, North Whitehall and Upper Macungie. The board decided to table this and narrow down what they’d like to do first before sending anything to the planning commission. The topic of biosolids was added to the agenda to have a general conversation about them and their use in the state. Steiner, Horvath and Backenstoe will be looking deeper into the issue of biosolids to see if there is anything they can do to address them in the township. Biosolids can be human waste that is treated, typically called sludge, and then used on agricultural properties. Pennsylvania allows the use of biosolids which leads to limited to no ability of the township to restrict the use of them. If a property would like to use biosolids, they’d have to apply for a permit to the state. The township would like to be able to provide comment, should a per-

BATH AREA Bath Borough stands with Ukraine, Offers economic relief to residents By KERI LINDENMUTH A somber moment of silence opened the Bath Borough Council meeting on Monday, March 7, as council members and residents sent their thoughts and prayers to the victims of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A bouquet of sunflowers, sent by Hayes Flowers, adorned the dias. Like so many around the world, Bath Borough made it known that they stand with the people of Ukraine. They called Russia’s violent actions against
the sovereign nation unprovoked and illegal and added that they are ready to support any sanctions the United States imposes. “Council stands with local, state, and federal representatives with current and forthcoming sanctions against Russia,” solicitor Jamie Kratz said, reading a resolution prepared by the borough. However, the borough acknowledged that, with these sanctions, come economic hardships for residents already strug-

gling with 40-year-high inflation. To ease the financial burden residents may face, the council announced economic relief measures that will take effect immediately. First, a $50 rebate will be issued for residents who have already paid their solid waste and recycling bills. For those with outstanding payments, the final due date is now Dec. 31, 2022. Outstanding payments can be made in two installments. Next, the borough is offering a 25% discount for property owners filing their rental licensing application, relative to their application fee. Required registrants who cannot file due to economic hardship are now allowed to file no later than Jan. 1, 2023. However, landlords will be required to file immediately should the borough receive a tenant complaint. These resolutions were passed unanimously by all members of council. Borough Manager Brad Flynn says this economic relief package will cost the borough $54,525. However, the borough has a reserve fund of $433,000 to cover this relief. There will be no effect to the borough’s general fund. Bath Borough may be the first municipality in the area to take such vital steps for residents, but officials hope they are not the only locality to do so. “This is an all-call,” the borough said in a statement on Facebook. “We are hopeful this message will spread to other communities and states…Public leaders in every corner of our country will need to make difficult decisions to help their residents and ease economic distress. Choices which signal our strength, solidarity, and resolve to a means of ending the tragedies unfolding in Ukraine. It will be well worth it…We share in this burden collectively because free-
dom has called us all to act.” Mayor Fiorella Mirabito echoed this sentiment. “Our focus is and will always be doing the most we can for our residents, especially during times that the entire world is affected with difficulties as we all face today,” she said. “We must help one another, and, hopefully, it will have a ripple effect.”
In other news, the borough approved the advertisement of a new ordinance that would improve safety and parking on Northampton Street near the borough municipal parking lot and Villa Grande Pizza. This ordinance will ban stopping or standing on the north side of the Continued on page 14

Northampton Borough hires Part-time police officer
By KERI LINDENMUTH During its March 3 meeting, the Northampton Borough Council hired a new part-time police officer. Robert Lindsay, who also serves as a paramedic for St. Luke’s Hospital, will join the force immediately. He was sworn in by Mayor Anthony Pristash and warmly welcomed by council. “You are going to be in great hands here,” Councilman Ronald Glassic told Lindsay, speaking of Police Chief Bryan Kadingo and the other officers in the borough. Lindsay said he has heard “good things about the department” and looks forward to getting started. During their meeting, council also hired a new part-time code enforcement officer. Jeffrey Brant will fill the role after passing a physical and background check. Brant will join Code Officer Keith Knoblach during a busy time in the borough. Rental property registrations are in full swing. Knoblach reports that 292 rental properties are registered so far, which equals 56.9% of the rental units in the borough. The deadline for registration is March 31. Property owners who do not register their rental units will be charged a late fee. Council did announce that rental registrations will soon be simpler for property owners. The borough is installing new software to provide online access to
zoning and code applications. Funding for this software was provided by the American Care Act. In other news, council passed a resolution to update the borough’s wastewater treatment plant to provide an additional 323 EDUs to accommodate the development needs of Allen Township. Developers must pay a tap-in fee of $5,070 per unit. This expansion is part of the borough’s Act 537 commitment. Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst said the borough engineer completed the Joint Act 537 plan with Allen Township. The plan needs to be approved by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, Borough Council, the Northampton Planning Commission, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Finally, junior council person Ryleigh Tillotson has set up an official Northampton Borough Facebook page. This Facebook page will share events, meetings, and other borough news. Tillotson’s commitment to the borough was praised by members of council. “We really respect you being here,” said Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. Tillotson, a high school junior, will remain on council until she graduates. The next Borough Council meeting will be Thursday, March 17.

NAZARETH AREA Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Living Fully Alive by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
At what point do you think most people realize what it truly means to be living? I mean not simply heartbeat, breath, eat, sleep, repeat. I am talking about having an inner joy, a certainty that life is simply astounding and needs to be cherished. Yes, even through and after heartache. I can recall a time in my youth when I felt the zeal for living at a tremendous level. I had climbed a tree and sat gazing down and gazing out through the trees. I recall feeling utterly and completely alive, if not more than a hint of fear of slipping, as well as my mother finding out where I was and was up to. That feeling of elation stays with me to this day. That high of
and for life, however, cannot be sustained perpetually and the ups and downs have come and will do so once again. We all know this to be the truth. That said, and perhaps because of the tumultuous path of being human, I have this reverence for everyday living and am increasingly grateful for it all.

The past two years have been, candidly, agonizing on so many fronts, the least of which has been the actual virus. While it may have felt that the earth stood still, it also felt like the earth spun faster and seemingly out of control…our control. It has taken some time to get our legs back under us and at times the situation still feels a little wobbly. New uncertainties are rising as we speak. History has shown us that such dire times have repeated more often than not, and I suspect will again. On a recent newscast I heard the commentator ask the guest, “Do you think we are all better off than we were a year or so ago?” Who in their right mind would ask a question like that and who would answer in the affirmative? Pondering this foolishness, I was overcome with this thought, “I am not sure we are better off but oh boy, I am not the same person I was mere months ago.” If I dig deep for the teaching in all this, I would have to circle back to the start of this week’s article. With all this grief we have muddled through, I find myself at a new level of awareness, respect for and gratitude for my existence on this side of heaven that perhaps I would not have achieved otherwise. I do not say this flippantly. Living fully alive truly has little to do with the external and has everything to do with the internal. Follow me? You could go and purchase a new car, boat, makeup, a couch and all the rest and it is a fleeting moment of perceived happiness. It is like trying to hold water. I am not a trained therapist. I simply have interacted with thousands of patients over the years, and I can share with some authority that if you face something on the inside, whether large or small, and overcome it, and grow from it, you gain serious momentum in life. You will begin to feel truly alive once again. Should you desire to turn on the zest for living on full throttle, it begins when you not only gaze through the trees but gaze inward and face what you know you need to face, develop, work on, or
discard. Clearly this can be vastly different for each and every one of us. It is worth considering at the very least. Candidly, the reason for this week’s discussion is that over the past two years I have seen such an increase in anxiety, depression, nervousness, sleep disorders, disease, etc. The detrimental effects these have had on self and those around us, whether personally or professionally, is becoming apparent. Please take to heart the depth of healing that can ensue if you even work on the tiniest of issues and the freedom that even modest self-imposed discipline may bring. Perhaps it is giving up snacking late at night, one less cigarette, or adult beverage. Maybe it is saying sorry. Again, I am not a therapist. I am simply human, continually coming to grips with what it means to be human- a maturing human. Traveling along this path together is one of the greatest joys of my life. I wish you well. Gain momentum and live fully alive once again-it’s an inside job. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations.

Memory Lane Morningstar Living is dedicated to providing education to caregivers, professionals and community members about dementia-related diseases. Memory Lane is an initiative aimed at providing information and education to the public, specifically about dementia. In this ZOOM seminar we will explore ways that Alzheimer’s and other dementias affect an individual’s ability to communicate across different stages. Maggie Dominici, Regional Manager for Home Helpers of the Lehigh Valley, will provide tips to better communicate with people living with the disease. This educational program is offered by the Alzheimer’s Association.
