To Build or Repair?

Bath municipal building.
Council discusses future of municipal building
A
by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
t a workshop meeting of Bath Borough Council on February 11, two previous sets of minutes from Dec. 9, 1991 and Sept. 13, 1993 contained discussions about either renovating the present municipal building or constructing a new one. The discussions came up again at this latest meeting. In 1993 Council had resolved to renovate at a cost of $152,862 (which in 2015 would amount to $250,435, adjusted at a rate of 63.8% with inflation). The 1993 renovations scope of work included roof repairs, painting, ADA improvements and parking lot improvements. The estimate would have incorporated grant funding. Borough Manager Tom Petrucci at that time recommended that any solution to the municipal building should increase the level of public services offered to residents, especially when factoring in an expected increased tax burden. He reported that any grant funding to renovate or construct would strongly weigh community-focused initiatives as criteria for the awarding of funds. At the Feb. 11 meeting, Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman concurred that she would also like to see community-oriented services offered in the borough. She specifically cited Silver Sneakers as well as the free library kiosk in Hanover Township, offered by the Bethlehem Free Library, as programs to potentially emulate. She said she would prefer to see the present building at Penn & Washington Sts. renovated, referring to her strong belief in historical preservation. Mrs. Heckman recommended that the Borough begin a maintenance plan over time instead of doing the work all at once.
She said although a large renovation project was started in 1993, no significant work was done in a consistent manner. Councilman Mark Saginario pointed out that the Public Works building is also in poor shape and should be included in the discussion. Councilman Mike Reph noted that the maintenance items have arisen over time and the Borough has addressed them on a case-bycase basis during various budget cycles. Each governing body has set its own funding priorities, respectively, since 1993 and the municipal building hasn’t always remained a priority, he said. Councilwoman Jennifer George said the architectural features of the present building couldn’t be duplicated in a new structure. Council president Robert Continued on page 2

A major subdivision of the Walker Farm was approved Monday afternoon in a delayed meeting of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors. The board also approved a deferral of a road access and the sewage module for the subdivision. There is already a house on the land. The plan had received an approval from the Planning Commission. Elsewhere in the Planners’ report, it was noted that an election of officers on the board was held. Elected were John Becker, chairman; David Frey, vice chairman, and Jason Harhart, secretarytreasurer. • On the recommendation of Chief Gary West, the Supervisors hired three part-time police officers. They are Erik Schaffer of Walnutport, Randall Pompei, Jr. of Quakertown, and Ethan Dilcherd of Bushkill Township. • An allotment of $900 was approved for the Playground in the Park program that will be held this summer. Sterling Laubach reported that sessions will be held from July 7 to 10 and July 13 to 17. • The board accepted the resignation of Troy Kocher from the recreation commission. • It was noted that the Historical Commission is working on a hand-out booklet for Moore Township’s 250th anniversary celebration this year. On April 19, as a fundraiser, the commission will sponsor a Longaberger basket social at the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. hall. Doors will open at noon and bingo Continued on page 2

Bath Council Continued from page 1
Fields asserted that Council will need to get new figures for a new building if they would proceed that way. The consensus was to decide on the elevation and configuration of a new building, determine how much realistic square footage would be needed and get a price quote based on that. Resident Joseph Tavianini, Jr., who was present, indicated that as a Borough of Bath taxpayer he would prefer to see something simple, and cited the ranch-style municipal building of Bushkill Township as an example. Mrs. George replied that she would not be in favor of a ranch-style building. Saginario said the borough should look at both perspectives
in order to get an informed opinion. Mrs. Heckman said Council should fund repairs to the building in the time that a solution is being considered, no matter what. It was then agreed that Council should again compare the costs between renovation and a new building. No possible location was mentioned, if in the end Council decides to go with a new building.

youth mentoring program a couple of years ago with great success. The program helps older, more experienced anglers share their love of the sport with a youth new to the fun of fishing. In fact, due to interest in the program, the state this year is opening the Mentored Youth Trout Days program to include all trout waters stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), instead of only a limited number per region. The first Mentored Youth Trout Day will be held on March 28, the Saturday prior to the regional opening day of trout season in 18 southern counties, including Lehigh and Northampton counties. The second one will be held on April 11, the Saturday prior to the statewide opening day of trout season. Mentors and children can each keep two trout that measure at least seven inches. To participate, adult anglers much have a valid fishing license and trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth. Youth anglers must obtain a free PFBCissued permit or a voluntary youth fishing license (only $2.70, including all fees). Both are available at www.GoneFishingPA.com. The PFBC annually stocks ap-

Grow UR Biz Do any of you remember Miss Manners? I was in line at a coffee shop this weekend and the gentleman in front of me was talking the barista’s ear off. He didn’t take a breath. “I want my soy milk. I’ve been coming here for fiveyears and asking for five years to get soy milk instead of milk in my vanilla latte.” The barista said, without a smile, “I have been telling the management to get soy milk and they haven’t done it yet.” He went on and on and on about his beloved soymilk. Finally, she handed him his drink and she put whipped cream on top and, of course, he didn’t want whipped cream. Okay, now we are heading into 10 minutes for one cup of coffee. She said curtly, “I need to wait on the next customer, can you please step aside or go to the front desk
By CAROL RITTER and ask to complete a suggestion form?” He left and I saw him harassing the front desk clerk about the hotel not having soymilk. Would Ms. Manners approve? Coincidentally, I went back to get another cup of tea two hours later and this very polite southern gentleman told the barrista that the half and half was empty. She firmly (on the borderline of rudely) said, “Here’s a carton of half and half,

I’ll probably get into trouble but it’s been a rough morning.” Mr. Polite as pie said to me privately, “You don’t want to get on the wrong side of that woman, it’s so much easier if you use your manners.” Do manners count? Are there ways to send a clear message without being rude? Is there a time when a customer is so over-thetop obnoxious that you can throw manners out the window? Or, should we look to Miss Manners for advice? Miss Manners served as the language and currency of civility, and etiquette reducing those inevitable frictions of everyday life that, unchecked, are increasingly erupting into outbursts, a by-product of a manners-free existence. These unpleasant developments have bred a nationwide call — for a return to common courtesy. Miss Manners Hopes... • You will try really hard to smile when delivering a message. • You won’t offend people, or they will stop coming to your business. • When someone’s behavior is unbearable, you will handle it. • Ehen someone tries to help you your response not rude. • You will just be a gentle responder no matter what. In the case of the barista and one rude customer, it almost seemed as though her anger with soy boy was delivered to other guests.... a real no-no. I call it misplaced anger! 610-442-4545 www.caroltalks.com

Gab over the Fence
by Pete G. Ossip
It’s finally warming up, and maybe no more snow, finally! It started to melt pretty good as the sun came out on Monday, and on Tuesday rain was predicted, so that will cut down the snow piles a lot more. Next Friday is the first day of spring, and it’s more than welcome. . . . I hear a bald eagle landed in Carl and Margie Rehrig’s yard the other day, took a drink of water from their spring, and then flew up into a tree in their yard. Maybe it’s the same eagle that was up in Moore BLUE MOUNTAIN COMPOUNDING 484-287-6341
Township a couple weeks ago. I saw in Arlene Koch’s column the other day that eagles are nesting now because it takes longer for their eggs to hatch in the nest. So it might be a mama eagle. . . .Congrats and best wishes to Tony Kovalovsky, who retired from police duty on Sunday after more than 30 years with the police, first with the Bath force, including chief, and then with Colonial Regional Police Department. He has also been active in local celebrations including the recent Turn Bath Pink. I hear the CRPD officers came into town with their patrol car sirens sounding and dropped him off in front of his house, then gave him a hand salute. So, happy retirement, Tony!! . . . .

CRPD officers give 100th Day of School Kovalovsky Grand escort Celebrated by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Officer Anthony Kovalovsky, of Colonial Regional Police, rode home in style on Sunday. The 56-year-old Bath resident was escorted by a convoy of CRPD cruisers with lights flashing and sirens ringing as he officially retired after more than 30 years as a police officer. When he emerged from his police car, his fellow officers assembled in front of his East Main Street home and Kovalovsky shook each of the officers’ hands, hugging or slapping them on the back. In turn, all saluted him. Kovalovsky was a former Bath
police chief before he joined CRPD when it was organized along with Lower Nazareth Township and Hanover Township in 1955. A lifelong Bath resident, Kovalovsky has always put his community first, often participating in borough celebrations. In CRPD, he has served as a mentor for the new officers that came on board. Now he’ll have more time to spend with his wife, Betsy. They’re planning to go on a cruise to the Bahamas with their daughter and son-in-law. “Betsy, he’s all yours,” Chief Roy Seiple told her.

Our Best Friends Have Hairy Legs!
The Scoop on Pets
Local Rescue Helps Dogs in Need S.N.O.R.T was founded in 2011, by a group of animal rescue advocates, who wanted to cut through the strict, boiler plate rules, and match needy dogs with loving families, on a case-by-case basis. They rescue/ adopt dogs from Maine to DC, and the farthest tip of Long Island to Erie, PA. S.N.O.R.T. has a very strong presence in the Lehigh Valley. They have found loving homes for over 100 dogs since its inception. “SNORT is an all-volunteer registered 501(c)3 non-profit rescue based in the Northeast. Its purpose is to rescue brachycephalic dogs (mostly French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Pugs, and English Bulldogs) from shelters and owners who can no longer keep them, and place them into loving homes. We believe all dogs should be given a chance and fair evaluation. Man's best friend sometimes does not communicate in ways which we would like, and we pride ourselves for taking the time to
Proclamation A PROCLAMATION RECOGNIZING THE 13TH ANNUAL “MARCH FOR MEALS CAMPAIGN” AND OUR SUPPORT OF MEALS ON WHEELS OF NORTHAMPTON COUNTY (MOWNC) IN THE BOROUGH OF NORTHAMPTON. MOWNC participates in the national March for Meals campaign, an annual month-long event, sponsored by the Meals on Wheels Association of America, and WHEREAS, the Mayor, Northampton Borough Council and residents wish to acknowledge and commend Meals On Wheels and the national organization, Meals On Wheels Association of America, in their efforts to preserve senior hunger in both our community and throughout the nation, and WHEREAS, we applaud those who give their time, talents and energy to providing for the nutritional needs of seniors in our communities, and WHEREAS, in the Borough of Northampton our residents, whose family, friends and neighbors include many homebound seniors in need of nutritious meals while facing hunger and isolation, are serious problems currently impacting our community and communities across the United States, and
understand their needs. Through education, training and matching dogs to the right homes, we hope to reduce the number of brachycephalic dogs that are euthanized unnecessarily.” Just one example of the good work that S.N.O.R.T. has done: In December 2012, S.N.O.R.T. was notified that an emaciated Boston Terrier was on the list to be euthanized at a NYC shelter. S.N.O.R.T. arranged for him to

be pulled from the shelter and transported to a foster home. The dog was so thin he could barely stand. His list of physical ailments seemed endless. In anticipation of a miraculous recovery, he was renamed Phoenix - in reference to a mythical bird that obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its former self. The day after he arrived in his foster home, he was brought to the vet and diagnosed with diabetes and dry eye, which would require him to have twice daily insulin shots and prescription eye drops for the rest of his life. Two months into his recovery, he developed diabetic cataracts and went blind nearly overnight. Through social networking, S.N.O.R.T. was able to raise enough funds to pay for cataract removal surgery to help him regain his sight. Shortly after his cataract surgery, he developed a melting ulcer which forced him to have one of his eyes removed. S.N.O.R.T. raised the funds to pay for another costly surgery. Despite all of his trials, Phoenix gained over 50% of his original body weight and now has a beautiful coat of fur. Most importantly, he’s regained his spirit! Seven months after he came to S.N.O.R.T., Phoenix (or Phee as he is affectionately known) was adopted by his foster family. He is adored and will be treated with kindness for the rest of his life. Sadly, there are thousands of pets in shelters nationwide, with sad stories like Phee’s. Rescues such as S.N.O.R.T. work tirelessly to rehabilitate and re-home them, and it is no easy task. If you are considering adopting, fostering or donating, you can contact S.N.O.R.T. via email at info@snortrescue.org, online at www.snortrescue.org, or on FaceBook.

WHEREAS, today Meals on Wheels services have evolved to include a grocery shopping Service, Food Line, a pet food program, Meals on Wheels and frozen meals for ambulatory seniors, and WHEREAS, Northampton Borough and Council, our residents and the Mayor would like to take this time to personally acknowledge and give thanks to the volunteers who help deliver meals and plan programs for seniors, the Board of Directors for their outstanding leadership, and the full-time and part-time staff members whose dedication helps to insure that our seniors receive the nutrition that they need and deserve, and WHEREAS, Meals on Wheels, a public-private partnership, with their annual campaign, intend to help recruit new volunteers from our community and surrounding communities and to increase fundraising from local business and supporters, and WHEREAS, we recognize the extraordinary impact that Meals on Wheels makes in our community in helping to maintain and improve the quality of life for our seniors.

NORTHAMPTON AREA
Cement Worker Of Month
by ED PANY Paul R. Gergel is a lifelong Northampton resident. He graduated from Northampton Senior High School in 1971 where he participated in football, basketball and golf. He recalls, “We were given a solid education where discipline and respect were stressed.” After graduation, Paul earned a degree in business from Northampton County Community College. As a young man he was employed by the borough of Northampton, however a cement career was his goal, as his father had been employed by Dragon Cement in Northampton.
After a three-year wait, he was hired by the Whitehall Cement Co., now Lafarge Corp. He said, “The plant manager was Mr. Dick Foster, who was highly respected, he greeted everyone at the plant on a first name basis.” His cement odyssey started in the labor pool, later becoming a kiln utility man and then to the central control room. Paul recalled, “the control room is the heart of the plant, it can be very challenging, especially when there is a power outage.” For the last 20 years, he has been a member of the Maintenance gang. The gang consists of ten hardy employees who main-

tain all equipment at the plant. They have a preventive maintenance schedule, which allows them to keep the plant operating in a safe and efficient manner. Safety is a top priority at Lafarge. Monthly safety meetings discuss all safety issues with suggestions on how to keep the plant safe for all employees. The meetings are chaired by maintenance manager Guy Delauniere. The maintenance supervisors are Dave Tomasis and Tim Janny, both fine men. MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration), a federal agency, conducts stringent safety checks semi-annually; some last for up to two weeks. Mr. Gorgel has seen many employees come and go over the years. He recalls old timers Enrie Bartzak and Harold Newhard, who shared their experience with him. He enjoys his employment and said, “With each day there is a work flow, working with many skilled co-workers.” Paul has been married to the former Cathy Mileties for 36 years and they are proud of daughter Corrine and grandson Matt. He is interested in railroad history and is an avid Boston Red
Sox fan. Paul met one of the greatest players in baseball history-the grand Ted Williams- when he appeared at Sears a number of years ago. Mr. Gorgel is a friendly gentleman, active in union affairs. He is a dedicated cement worker upholding the tradition of our local cement workers. The family resides in Northampton. We wish Paul a healthy, happy retirement and hope all my friends at the century-old cementon plant have a safe and prosperous 2015.

NAZARETH AREA
Nazareth Resident Concerned about Scams by DAVE SICA At the February Nazareth Borough Business Council meeting, a citizen aired concern about a possible scam that was run on a friend in the borough. Wilhelmina Donnelly, who originally addressed the issue in a letter to the editor to the local daily newspaper The Express-Times on February 4, said she was concerned about what happened and how it
was handled. Last summer two men claiming to do work for water and sewer company robbed Donnelly’s friend. While one distracted her, the other stole items from her home. Donnelly wanted to know why Nazareth doesn’t advertise robberies like this in the local newspapers. She said that something similar happened in Palmer Township in January and

was reported in the paper. “It specifically said who to look for and any additional information,” Donnelly said. Nazareth Police Chief Thomas Trachta explained that he wasn’t aware of the situation and asked Donnelly to have her friend call him to discuss it. “That is an outright lie,” Donnelly responded. Trachta reiterated that her friend should call him. Council President Dan Chiavaroli and Councilman Brian Regn explained that adopting the Nixle Service, which was on the docket for approval, would prevent issues like Donnelly’s. According to the company’s website, the Nixle service is a community notification platform that serves over 7,000 public safety and government agencies. Such a service would alert the community of any emergencies or urgent news via e-mail and text message. Later in the meeting the Nixle service was unanimously passed with an initial installation cost of $500 and $3,000 annually for the duration of a three-year contract with the borough. An upgrade to the borough’s security cameras by Home Technology Systems was also passed, at a cost of $10,439.50. At the close of the meeting, Mayor Carl Styre recognized the Nazareth Lady’s Basketball team, who made the state finals.

A native of York County, he was born in Spring Garden Township on Feb. 27, 1919, the son of the late Manus Harrison Grove and Lillie M. (Kunkle) Grove. Dr. Grove graduated from West York High School in 1935. He received degrees from Millersville University in 1939 and Temple university in 19041. He began his distinguished education career by teaching in the elementary schools in Wellsville and Paradise, Pa. He then moved to East Calico Twsp. High School, where he taught physics, chemistry and biology. From 1943 and 1944 he served as East Calico’s High’s supervising principal. In 1944, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, attended Officer Candidate School, was assigned to the Ordnance Corps, and served in post-war Germany. In 1946, he received an honorable discharge with the rank of first lieutenant. Returning stateside, he took advantage of the G.I.

Grove, of York County; four grandchildren and four (five soon) great-grandchildren. Preceding him in death was a brother, George.

Too Emotional In Praising God? Someone asked Billy Bray of Cornwall, England, “Why do you praise the Lord so much?” He replied, “I bless the Lord constantly because my whole life is brightened by praising God.” The other said, “But why must you do it aloud?” The Cornish coal miner who had turned to preaching smiled wistfully and answered, “I can’t help it. As I walk down the street, I lift up one foot and it seems to say, ‘Glory!’ Then I lift up the other, and it seems to say, ‘Amen!’ And they keep on like that all the time I walk.” Some would criticize Billy Bray as being too emotional in praising God, but then at the baseball game they’ll hysterically scream to the top of their voice when their team member makes a home run, or they’ll laugh hilariously at some funny joke, or they’ll weep uncontrollably while watching some sad, make-believe story on television. God never intended for His blood-washed, heaven-bound, Holy Ghost-filled believers to go to church and sit like bumps on a log in an atmosphere like that of a funeral home! Scriptures encourage the people of God to praise Him actively, in fact, we are to praise Him enthusiastically! “Let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice” (Psalm 68:3). “Shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart” (Psalm 32:11). “O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph” (Psalm 47:1). “Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord” (Psalm 134:2). If you cannot honestly identify emotionally with these scriptures, I urge you to seek God for a much deeper spiritual experience! After all, when we consider how great God is and all that He has done for us in saving us from our sins and in changing our destiny from hell to heaven, shouldn’t the level of our fervor in praising Him sincerely reflect it? “For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised” (Psalm 96:4).

Victor M. Zmarzley, Sr.
July 24, 1932 – March 4, 2015 Victor M. Zmarzley, Sr., 82, of Northampton died on Wednesday, March 4 at home. He was the husband of the late Virginia M. (Lotti) Zmarzley, who died on August 16, 2006. He worked at Bethlehem Steel for 45 years until retiring to his home in Kreidersville. Born July 24, 1932 in Northampton, he was a son of the late Joseph and Caroline (Ference) Zmarzley.

party in the past. As we said, he’s usually down at the Bath Legion. We learned of his achievement in reading a bowling column by Dave Goodman of the ExpressTimes. Hilbert, who is a freshman at Northampton High School, was quoted by him as follows: “I told myself to keep throwing the same ball (as he had in his 186 game), stay under control and no shaking. As I came up for the 10th frame I knew people were behind me watching and I didn’t want to turn around. I wanted to keep everything normal.” After getting both the 10th and 11th frames, Hilbert said, “I told myself to just make the same shot and when I let the last ball go I just hoped all the pins fell down. When they fell I started yelling and almost fell over. I was certainly not expecting 300. I’m glad it was the last game because I didn’t want to ruin the rest of the day.” He says his key to success is hitting the mark in the 1-3 pocket. Heckman, the lad from Bangor, is only 13 years old and bowls an average of 204 in his regular league games at Blue Valley. He’s in eighth grade at Bangor Area Middle School.
Hilbert qualifies For Jr. Masters
Matt Hilbert, 15, of Moore Township was one of two young bowlers to qualify from District 2 for the Lehigh Valley Junior Masters Tournament recently. He and Aaron Heckman of Bangor both rolled 300 games at Blue Valley Lanes in Wind Gap. Hilbert had games of 234, 169 and 186 before he bowled a perfect game on Sunday, March 1. Normally, he averages 160 when bowling at the Bath Legion Lanes, and his previous high was 267 and he’s still looking for his first 600 series when bowling three games. His total in the qualifying tournament put his total at 889. This was the first time he has bowled at Blue Valley, having been there only for a birthday

News Sermonette Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark, Northampton Assembly of God
Choosing a Church People choose where they go to church for various reasons and some of those reasons may not be the best. So, let us honestly evaluate a few of the wrong reasons for choosing a church in order to see more clearly the right reasons to choose a church. Some only choose large churches where the size of the Sunday morning crowd speaks of success and popularity. But I’d rather choose a church, though it be small, that meets together for the right reasons and purpose— IN THE NAME OF JESUS! Yes, that’s the church I want to attend because that’s the church Jesus attends! “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Some love beautiful edifices. It is nice to have comfortable facilities, but it is far more important
that the presence of the Lord is there. If people sincerely love, serve, and worship God with all their hearts—even if they meet in an old barn—if God dwells among them, I’d rather worship there than in the most beautiful building that lacks His presence! Some would never attend a church in the summer that is not air-conditioned, but it is more important that the church be prayer-conditioned where, although the sweat uncomfortably rolls down my face, the glory of God floods my soul! Some are looking for a church with a staffed nursery to care for their children, but if a church lacked that benefit yet the services flowed with the blessing of God, I’d go there! I’d rather have my children with me in the atmosphere of God’s glory anyway! Some want a church with ex-
cellent musicians. If a church had no musicians, but the Spirit of the Lord saturated their worship services, I’d go there rather than a church with the best musicians without the moving of the Spirit! Some are looking for a church close to their home, but I’d be willing to drive a long distance to attend a church where the glory of God comes down! Some like a church that is more like an entertainment center—a church that doesn’t talk about man’s sin or man’s need of salvation—a church that is more interested in being politically correct than in being biblically correct! That’s a church filled with “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof ” (2 Timothy 3:4-5). But, I want a church that tells me THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD! I want a church like Jesus talked about—a church filled with “true worshippers” who “worship the Father in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23). Some are looking for a church where they can be accepted and comfortable in their sin—where the preaching is soothing, but I want a church where the preacher declares “all the counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) and the Spirit of God probes my soul—a church where sinners are convicted of sin and converted to Christ—where “old things are passed away” and “all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Beth Arcury RDH, MPH, PHDHP, school dental hygienist for the Northampton Area School District, along with the Borough PTA participated in the America’s ToothFairy Smile Drive, a national campaign to collect oral care products for at-risk children and raise awareness of the importance of oral health. The Smile Drive was held throughout February during National Children’s Dental Health Month. Dr. Stephen Ely and his team at Orthodontics of the Lehigh Valley also donated 1,500 of oral care products to the Smile Drive. Donated toothbrushes and toothpaste were delivered to the Northampton Borough Schools of Colonel John Siegfried Elementary School and Franklin Elementary School where Mrs. Arcury distributed them to all the students in both schools during her oral health classroom lessons. “We are so grateful that caring dental professionals across the country are helping ensure children receive the oral care products they need through the America’s ToothFairy Smile Drive,” said Fern Ingber, America’s ToothFairy President and CEO. “The participation of Dr. Stephen Ely and Orthodontics of the Lehigh Valley, along with Northampton School District’s Borough School PTA and school dental hygienist, Beth Arcury in the Smile Drive will help promote healthy smiles for local children while providing at-risk youth the tools they need to prevent the pain and embarrassment associated with tooth decay.” America’s ToothFairy: National Children’s Oral Health Foundation was formed in 2006 to eliminate children’s preventable pain and suffering from pediatric dental disease by delivering superior preventive-focused programs and resources that improve quality of life for underserved children. Supporting the delivery of oral health education and care for children of all ages, the America’s ToothFairy Affiliate Network includes dental and allied health professionals, generous corporations, nonprofit community health programs, civic and youth organizations and caring individuals in every state.
