State Police hold active Shooter training at Bath Neighborhood Watch 78th Year, Issue No. 11 www.homenewspa.com
USPS 248-700
By KERI LINDENMUTH At Bath’s monthly neighborhood watch meeting on March 6, State Trooper Nathan Branosky held an active shooter training session. Residents learned about the “Run, Hide, Fight” method and how they can protect themselves in case an active shooter enters their workplace or school. While Branosky acknowledged this is an “uncomfortable” topic, he added: “Unfortunately, this is where
we are at in society.” He said that the dangers of an active shooter are a “close second” behind the dangers of the opioid epidemic. “If you do not have an active shooter policy at your workplace, you are wrong,” he said. The State Police advocate the three-step “Run, Hide, Fight” method. Should a resident be in Continued on page 3

an active shooter situation, their first goal should be getting out of harm’s way. Only when they are out of danger should they prevent others from entering the building and call 911. If it is impossible to flee the building, hiding is the next resort. Individuals should find a hiding place and secure its entrance by barricading it with heavy objects. They should also turn out the lights and
remain silent. Finally, if fleeing or hiding is not an option, Branosky said fighting back is the “last resort.” Individuals should look for ways to improvise weapons and commit themselves to attacking the intruder. Branosky said another important way to protect oneself against an active shooter is to be more observant. He said individuals staring at their phones when they enter or exit buildings, get into their vehicles, and even sit at a restaurant are making themselves vulnerable. They will not be “good witnesses”

and are missing opportunities to recognize exits should an emergency occur. He also pointed out indicators of someone who is susceptible to violence. They include frequently arguing, being regularly absent from work or school, showing a lack of communication, or demonstrating dissociation. He said if individuals notice someone they work or study with exhibiting these behaviors “day afContinued on page 5

Police Reports 1 woman dead in East Allen crash On March 11 at 2:05 p.m., a dump truck was traveling northbound on Airport Road. As the dump truck was traveling, a 2011 Cadillac proceeded from Jade Lane, onto Airport Road, causing the dump truck to strike the driver’s side of the Cadillac. After impact, both vehicles came to a final rest in a field adjacent to the intersection. Kathryn Anne Flom, 67, the driver of the Cadillac, died at the scene. Her passenger was transported from the scene by Bethlehem EMS to St. Luke’s Fountain Hill for her injuries. Northampton Regional EMS and East Allen Township Fire Department assisted at the scene. Fire police had detours at the following locations: Airport Road and Hanoverville Road, Snowdrift Road and Colony Drive, Snowdrift Road and Dogwood Road, and Airport and Locust Road.

Hit and run in Bath On March 1 a crash occurred on West Main Street west of its intersection with Bridge Street in Bath. The crash occurred in an area where opposing travel lanes are divided by double yellow lines and there are no usable shoulders. At the time of the crash it was night time with street lights and the roadway was snow covered. During the course of this crash, Joshua Barkanic, 38 of Palmerton, was traveling westbound at approximately five miles per hour. An unknown vehicle was traveling downhill while negotiating a curve in the road. A crash occurred as the unknown vehicle struck Barkanic. The unknown vehicle also made impact with a retaining wall. The unknown vehicle then continued to travel east on Route 248. Barkanic came to a final rest in the grass on the northwest corner of the intersection of West Main Street and Bridge Street. His vehicle was towed from the scene by Force One Towing.

shape. Such an unrealistic answer that he slid into the “jerk” category immediately. In short, don’t hire a jerk. Hiring practices are key to bringing on creative, healthy, hard working employees who are willing to change, be flexible and work well on a team. A lot of people use the word “jerk” frivolously, but seriously, if you hire someone with “jerkish” personalities you may spend most of your time hiring and firing rather than leading your staff.
State Police Grow UR Biz- Continued from page 3 Don’t hire a Jerk
By CAROL RITTER I’ve been told by many entrepreneurs that their number one problem in running their own company is people. I remember when I was speaking to a group of travel experts years ago and a fellow came up to me to say hello. He knew me and had seen me speak before. He began telling me about his personality. He told me that he is a perfectionist, everything needs to be perfect. He went on and on about it and I told him I would be addressing “the perfectionist” in my speech today. He perked up and smiled thinking I was going to talk about him and how proud he was to be one. I said, “Well, I’m not sure about perfectionists in the workplace, they generally lack flexibility, refuse to accept anything less than perfection and expect others to be perfect.” His faced dropped and we continued with pleasantries and he headed to the donut bar. When employees don’t work out in your company, would you agree the reason is generally not incompetence? It’s their personality and an inability to work with others. According to Chieh Huang, the co-founder and CEO of Boxed, when he interviews a potential employee he’s looking to weed out overly rigid individuals or as he calls them “jerks.” He went so far as to create three questions for all interviews. When I read about him, I realized I had similar hiring practices in the past. My three questions had nothing to do with the resume.
ter day,” they should ask if they are alright. “It is okay to ask,” he said.
He also said an obsession with guns and violence is another indicator of someone susceptible to being a mass shooter. Showing off guns on social media, he added, is a red flag. Workplace arguments, domestic violence, bullying, and political motivation are leading causes of mass shootings. Branosky added that the number of mass shootings are “going higher and higher,” with more than 250 incidents in the U.S. between 2000 and 2017 and 2,315 killed or wounded. With these numbers rising, Branosky said it is important to be “proactive” by incorporating trainings into schools and workplaces and actually practicing those trainings.

Carol’s three questions to Avoid hiring jerks 1. Tell me about yourself; let’s
put your resume aside. 2. What’s your favorite movie? 3. What do you do for fun? Interestingly, there are no right or wrong answers, but the answers can be very telling. First of all, they are generally not prepared to answer questions like this, so if they are rigid they are stumped immediately. One man I interviewed, when asked what he did for fun said, “I have to think a minute.” That was the first red flag. Finally, his answer was, “Oh, not much.” I went on to ask, “Why do you want this job?” He told me that he has three problem children and thought this job could help him whip them into

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The sun came out and sure enough, it turned warmer this week. Let’s hope it stays like that for a while. Spring is in the air, actually next Wednesday, March 20. . . No ice on the roads, and it should be safe driving. Right? No, drivers travel fast and don’t watch what they’re doing sometimes. Ye Ed’s daughter Gail Schwartz and granddaughter Tabitha are up from Georgia this week. They were headed north on 512 and wanted to turn left into the Kiffle Kitchen for some kiffles, when their rented car was hit from behind by a pickup truck on Monday afternoon. The car was totaled. Fortunately, the gals had their seat belts fastened, but they were injured, and taken by ambulance to LV-Muhlenberg. Hopefully, they’ll be feeling better, after hospital treatment. You never can tell when out on the road. . . . The $10,000 grant that has become available for Bath is historic district oughta help five properties look better on South Chestnut Street. There is gonna be a workshop about it on March 20 at 7 p.m. in the Borough is new building. . . . .I see the owner of Jake’s Gun Shop over Nazareth way is gonna retire. Hunters oughta like that if they need something from his sale. . . The former Tracy Berger is pretty proud of her son Richie and the Cub Scouts of Pack 50 up in Moorestown in their Pinewood Derby race. You did a nice writeup about the event at the Moore Township School, Tracy. . . Sorry to hear that Jean Markulics, Bill Evans and Joanne Lidestri passed away. My condolences to their families. . . . Congrats to the Suburban Inter-Church Dart Baseball League for beating the Bethlehem City League all-stars again. . . . If East Allen Township changes the zoning at the mini golf course along Airport Road, that is gonna bring a new development again. We’ll hafta wait
and see what happens later on. It’s mind boggling how the Valley has changed in a few short years. . . . I mentioned that the Northampton High girls’ basketball team won a championship. It was in District 11, Class 6A. They are hoping for a state title, which would be great. . . .Anyhow, welcome spring with open arms and shed overcoats next Wednesday!

‘Change on Main’ Seeking to give Back to Borough Of Northampton by KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Northampton’s March 7 meeting, Brian Sabo, program director for Change on Main, appeared before the board to introduce the borough’s new recovery center and the activities it hopes to hold to give back to the community. Sabo, who is also a certified recovery coach, said that Change on Main is a safe place for people in addiction recovery to go. It is not a rehabilitation or treatment center, but a place where people can find support, inspiration, encouragement, and social and educational opportunities. Change on Main holds frequent events for the community, including movie nights, cookouts, educational workshops, and popular karaoke nights. Sabo said over 60 people attended the program’s previous karaoke night. “Everyone is sober and having a good time with their families,” he said. The facility, located on 1830 Main Street, also puts programs together for Northampton High School students. There are also computers available to help community members with job services, taxes, and other “everyday things.” Currently, the facility is looking to hold Spring Cleanup days in April and May to “break the stigma of addiction.”

Sermonette Mourning by Frank Homme We all have lost ones and at times we just don’t know what to say to family members. We have learned to just pray and listen. (Acts 8:2) I know I lost my loved one, sadly last May. We could all tell stories of mom or dad – another relative or a friend who passed away. Well there was a lad eight years old and his precious mother passed away at the age of 50. No greater grief is experienced than the loss of a mother. The little boy was heartbroken, but he discovered that God comforted his heart in a way he never dreamed possible. He found experience that God is truly a God of all comfort. A lady’s sister’s husband died in an accident, a friend invited her to a “growing through grief ” workshop at church. She found a caring community of people trying to come to terms with a significant loss in their lives by seeking the help of God and others. She went week after week and
learned acceptance and peace through the process of sharing their grief together. I know without God it’s hard going through this. I didn’t go to meetings and family was no help to me during my loss. It was the help of God. As followers of Jesus, we need not mourn our losses alone. When we lose a loved one, you tell them I have gone through the valley of the shadow of death also; I too had lost a loved one, but God comforted me. So when you suffer, God is preparing you for the special ministry of comfort. As we grieve together, we can grow in understanding and in the peace that is ours through Jesus Christ, who knows our deepest sorrow. When we are in trouble or in need, we can call upon the Holy Spirit and instantly connect the power of our Heavenly Father. (John 14:1618) The ascension of Jesus closed one chapter, but began a new chapter in God’s plan of redemption. When a loved one departs from you, do not stand and gaze in remorse. We have to keep on living. We have lost a loved one to death. We miss them and feel sorrow because their death has taken them away. There is comfort for us. We will be united with them suddenly, very soon. Our joy will exceed our sorrow. This reunion as described would be utterly impossible, were it not for the fact that you will receive a resurrection body at the same time the dead will be raised. There is hope but only in Christ. The same Messiah who ascended into heaven is the one who will come again. A life’s story does not end when our loved one departs. They will come again when he comes. There is life after death. We go on living forever. I know God will help us through. Consider reevaluating your commitment to the Lord.

“It Is Well”
After Horatio Spafford experienced unimaginable sorrows culminating in the drowning of his four daughters at sea, he penned the lyrics of this hymn of profound faith in God, “It Is Well With My Soul.” The Spaffords were devoted Christians. He was a successful lawyer. In 1870 their four-year-old son died of scarlet fever. The following year the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the real estate in which Horatio had made a huge investment. Two years later, he planned a family trip to Europe to rest and to assist his friend, D. L. Moody, in evangelistic campaigns in Great Britain. A last minute business transaction kept Spafford behind, but he sent his wife and four daughters as scheduled, expecting to follow in a few days. That ship was struck by another ship, and sank. His wife cabled two words, “Saved alone.” As Spafford crossed the ocean to meet his grieving wife, he passed the place where his four daughters had drowned. There, in his sorrow, he penned these unforgettable words that express unwavering trust in God: “When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.” Like Job who suffered Satan’s devastating blows and yet declared, “I know that my redeemer liveth” (Job 19:25), Spafford wrote, “Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blessed assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.” Spafford’s capability to proclaim “It is well with my soul” in such grief came from the assurance of Christ’s forgiveness of his sins. He wrote, “My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!” Is it well with your soul?

vet may suggest mixing in some higher-calorie kitten food with your cat’s regular food at this time—she’ll need the calories to produce milk.
Lower the Litterbox, Raise the Cleanliness
If your cat's litterbox has high sides or a narrow entrance, consider replacing it. Choose a low, wide pan that’s more accommodating of her ever-expanding belly. To help keep her healthy, clean the litter at least twice a day and wash the box once a week.
large cardboard box with low sides is a great choice— and put it in a quiet room. When your cat goes into labor, she'll pant and pace. If she's not in her box, do try gently placing her there. Allow at least four hours for all of the kittens to be born. If more than eight hours pass and she’s still straining,
do call the vet. After the kittens are born, let the mother cat take care of them. Don't handle them yourself. Do give the cat and her new kittens plenty of alone time in their first week together. And don’t worry—you’ll get plenty of time with the kittens after that.
Monitor her Behavior
Your cat won't act differently for the first few weeks of her pregnancy. Soon, however, she'll sleep more. And she may sleep so much that she’ll forego meals. You can help encourage her to eat by waking her at feeding time or showing her the food and water in the bowls to help remind her. As delivery nears, you may notice that she is frequently licking her teats—this is normal. When the teats fill with milk they can become uncomfortable, and her licking is a soothing act that helps to ease the pressure.
We are lucky all year long for having such amazing clients!
