Stuart Guinther
Cement worker of the Month- Stuart Guinther
by ED PANY Mr. Stuart Guinther was born in Boston, moving to Kutztown in his youth, graduating from Kutztown High School in 1980 recalling, “I enjoyed all the math courses, they were taught by Mr. Gougler, a real perfectionist!” Stuart pursued his education at Rose Hulman Institute of Technology in Terra Haute, Indiana, earning a degree in Chemistry. Mr. Guinther’s remarkable cement odyssey started as a chemist at Lone Star in Nazareth. He then moved to Michigan and was hired as a process engineer at St. Mary’s Peerless Cement Co. A few years later he returned to Essroc as a process engineer and production manager. There he visited seven company plants to improve plant operations. He has also served as a process engineer at Medusa Cement in Cleveland, Ohio and plant manager of the dragon plant in Maine. This plant was a sister plant to the old Dragon Cement plant in Northampton which closed in 1983. In Maine the Dragon plant was
modernized, changing from a wet to dry process operation. Guinther has also served as plant manager at the Glen Falls, NY plant of Lehigh Cement and vice president of Penta Engineering in St. Louis. He recalled, “After all of these experiences, we wanted to return home and I was happy to be hired by Keystone in 2017. Our local plant is a diamond in the rough and our goal is to improve operations to reach full capacity.” “The plant has many dedicated workers, some family members have worked here for generations. Another objective is to develop a good relationship with the community.” Mr. Guinther has visited 83 cement companies all over the globe, from Latin America to Europe, Russia and India. Stuart is an encyclopedia of the cement industry, one of the most knowledgeable gentlemen I have interviewed in the last 25 years. He said, “The cement industry is

Borough Of Bath Learns about Emergency Management
By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Borough of Bath’s Neighborhood Watch Group meeting on Wednesday, May 8, representatives from Northampton County Emergency Management Services spoke to residents and helped them discover the inner workings of emergency management and preparation.

Emergency Management Services assists over 304,000 residents in Northampton County, 38 municipalities, four local colleges, 30 police stations, and 40 fire and rescue stations. The organization also assists local school districts.

Dear Neighbors, I am writing to ask for your support and your vote when you go to the polls on May 21. I am running to be re-elected as your Supervisor because I care about Moore Township and its future. Almost six years ago, I first asked you to elect me as your Supervisor, and now I am asking for your vote once again to continue the progress we have made. I have listed seven concerns with some of my accomplishments and a Vision for the FUTURE. 1. I care about our Township taxes remaining as one of the lowest in Northampton County. I voted against the last tax increase. 2. I care about our Land and Environmental Preservation Board, preserving open space and local farmland. Since becoming Supervisor, we have almost doubled preserved land by acquiring 1,182.28 acres for a total of 2,432.16 acres, 63 acres of open space and natural areas been preserved. Under my leadership as Board Chairperson, we either have preserved or are in the process of preserving, another 262 acres. That is five times as much as before I became Chairperson. 3. I care about our Township being a safe place to live with 24-hour protection of our local police force, dedicated volunteer fire department and ambulance squad. We have just received notification that we will be receiving a grant for $55,480 for a police vehicle and $13,889 to upgrade electronic hardware and related software to allow for state integration. 4. I care about our Township having exceptional recreation facilities for all of our citizens and for the continued development of activities for all ages. We continue to maintain our facilities and hold Community Day activities, movies, MTAA cheering competitions and sports tournaments. We recently added an 18-hole disc golf course enjoyed by all ages. 5. I care about our Township and the sound management of our Township finances and resources. We have hired a professional Township Manager and ended the practice of “Running for a Job”. We are gathering needed details of Township assets to implement a Capital Improvement Plan. 6. I care about our Township having an updated and effective road and maintenance program. Public works remains one of the areas we are working to improve. Together with the Township Manager and a long-term employee (Road Supervisor), we have initiated new snowplowing guidelines. We are putting together a road plan with a commitment to improve our roads. We received a grant for dirt and gravel roads for $244,700. Our vision for this department is too hire a professional Road Superintendent who has a strong background in public works and storm water management. 7. Since eliminating the “Working Supervisor”, we have saved approximately $100,000 in salaries and have received over $314,009 in additional grants. I care about our Township, and I believe you care, also. The last elections you voted to end “WORKING” Supervisors. Do not let the guardians of the past who ran for Township JOBS during the last election take us backwards. My Opponent has already stated he wants a Tax Increase of 5 mills ($250 per taxpayer) with no plan on how to use it. He also wants to run the Street Department (PAID SUPERVISOR?) An aggressive plan for having attended just a few Township Meetings in the past six (6) years. Your current team of Supervisors have a plan and vision going forward. Let us join together and make our Township the best in which to LIVE, WORK, ENJOY OPEN SPACES, and RAISE our FAMILIES.

Moore Township Supervisors approve town map Highlighting Appalachian National Scenic Trail Submitted by BROOKS MOUNTCASTLE On Tuesday, May 7, 2019, the Moore Township Supervisors unanimously approved revisions to its official map, which has been updated to include a delineation of the Appalachian Trail (A.T.), its scenic vistas, and access points to the A.T. and other trails. The new map also highlights important environmental features in the area, including steep slopes, riparian buffers, floodplains, and sensitive plant and animal habitats. Keystone Consulting Engineers performed the map revisions through a mini-grant provided by the Appalachian Trail
Conservancy (ATC). The A.T. traverses Moore Township for 6.5 miles and is part of the Kittatinny Ridge, a key migratory flyway and Global Important Bird Area for tens of thousands of birds of prey annually. The update to the Township map will help ensure the preservation to this vital wildlife habitat. This effort is made possible by a mini-grant program that helps local municipalities preserve and promote community character, sense of place and local natural and cultural assets within the A.T. Landscape in Pennsylvania. Any township or borough abut-
ting the A.T. and wanting to learn more about the mini-grant grant program is encouraged to contact Brooks Mountcastle at 717-258-5771 or bmountcastle@appalachiantrail.org. Nonprofit organizations that want to work with a municipality on the mini-grant program are also encouraged to apply. Funds for the ATC Conservation Assistance Mini-Grant Program come from the National Park Service’s A.T. Park Office and are provided to the ATC through a cooperative agreement.

Stories From My Heart by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca Rhubarb Pie
When I was a young bride, I thought I would impress my husband with a pie. Since it was rhubarb time of year, I decided to make a pie. I searched for a good recipe, then bought rhubarb at a local farm. I went directly home and started a new adventure; cleaning and dicing the rhubarb, spooning the sugar on top of the green and red cubes, and adding the rest of the ingredients. I set the bowl holding the gems that would put a smile on my husband's face aside and made the crust. The rhubarb looked delicious in the pie shell, then my phone rang. It was my mother on the other end. We talked and laughed. When I finally got off the phone, I preheated the oven, put the pie in and waited. I baked the pie at the right temperature and time. I was so excited! When I took the pie out of the oven, something did not look right.
www.HomeNewsPA.com Being a novice, I thought to myself; maybe it's supposed to look like that. When the pie was cool, I put it in the refrigerator to get cold for dinner. Every ten minutes, I looked in and thought, that's strange! Finally, it was dinner time. When we finished, I proudly walked over to the fridge and pull out my masterpiece. As I carried it to the table, my husband had a funny look on his face. I asked him if he would like a slice, and he said, “You first.” I looked at him and replied, “After you.” We both looked at each other and laughed. My pie looked like asparagus floating around in pink juice. Even our dog, who ate everything, took one sniff and walked away. The tale of the floating rhubarb pie became quite a story at picnics. Everyone wanted to know when I would be baking the next one. I looked at them and said, “Very funny!” However, the pie escapade did not end there. Later that summer, I decided to make an elderberry pie. It took me an hour to pick enough of those itsy-bitsy berries to fill a pie shell. This time the pie turned out great, however, I did not. Little did I know the Elderberry tree was nestled among two Poison Oak trees. Baking is a lot like life, sometimes we make mistakes and wonder what went wrong. Like my pie, we can decide to either give up or keep trying to make it better. Life is a journey- do the best you can. Mistakes happen; period. Smile, laugh, be kind and loving to all you meet but do not forget to love yourself and try not to be too serious. Take time to smell the roses, hug those you love and keep looking up to the One who makes all things possible. When life gets tough, just think of my rhubarb pie. Life is good, enjoy each moment!

There was a traffic slowdown as the heavy equipment was used to get rid of the old sidewalk and dig in the dirt, but it cleared out, and all the work was completed by the weekend.

See what all the vendors have to offer and enjoy the entertainment during the summer. . . .The Phillies took two out of three games from both the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals, staying three games ahead of the Atlanta Braves. Now they play the Milwaukee Brewers, who have been hot and cold, so we’ll see how that goes. They’ll be facing 16-homer Christian Yelich of the Brewers. Philadelphia fans are happy so far for baseball, but disappointed that the Sixers lost a last second 92-90 in basketball to Toronto on Sunday. . . .Locally, fans can root for and attend games of the Bath Allen Youth Club. . . . Congrats to the D.A.R.E. fifth grade graduates up in Moore Township Elementary School, all 105 of them. Boy, that’s a big class, divided up in four rooms.

“Saved By Grace”
The famed blind hymn writer Fanny Crosby had a cousin, Howard, a Presbyterian pastor, who died of pneumonia at age sixty-five. A friend read Fanny his last message. It said no Christian need fear death: “If each of us is faithful to the grace which is given us by Christ, that same grace which teaches us how to live will also teach us how to die.” Fanny was moved by that message and wrote a poem called “Some Day”: Some day my earthly house will fall, I cannot tell how soon ‘twill be, But this I know, my All in All Has now a place in heaven for me. Some day, when sets the golden sun Beneath the rosy-tinted west, My blessed Lord shall say, “Well done!” And I shall enter into rest. Some day--till then I’ll watch and wait, My lamp well-trimmed and burning bright, That when my Savior opens the gate My soul to Him may speed its flight. Fanny wrote “Some Day” in a matter of minutes and under “divine inspiration,” as she had “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” and others of her best hymns. For three years the poem seemed to be forgotten. One day while visiting a Bible conference, Fanny was asked to say something after the main speaker. She made a few remarks; then quoted the poem. When she finished there was not a dry eye in the auditorium. She was later asked to provide a chorus and it was set to music: “And I shall see Him face to face, And tell the story--Saved by Grace.” It became a favorite among Christians the world over.

Six smart moves when hiring movers (NAPSI)—The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that over 17 million Americans move to a new home every year. If you’re ever among them, knowing a few facts and figures can help you have a smoother move. Moving Tips To help, the experts at the American Moving and Storage Association, the national trade association for professional movers, created a checklist. 1. Do comparison shopping. Even if you’re considering doing the move yourself, you should get at least three written, in-home estimates so you can make an informed choice. The estimates should be free, so you have nothing to lose by trying to find out whether a professional move is best for you. Some movers even offer estimates based on videos and photos you submit online. Make sure you show the mover everything that needs to be moved, from the attic to the basement, and any sheds, garages or storage areas. The mover needs a complete picture of everything to be moved to give you the most accurate estimate. Reputable interstate movers will always give you estimates in writing and they must—by law—provide you with federal publications that explain the moving process and your rights and responsibilities. Be
careful of any estimates offered over the phone or online, and if the mover asks for a large down payment or full payment in advance. 2. Read your paperwork carefully. Remember, once you’ve signed a contract, you’ve agreed to what it says about your move. 3. Understand what the mover’s level of liability is, in case of loss or damage. 4. Bear in mind that communication is key. Make sure the mover has your cell phone number or other way to reach you during the move and that you have the driver’s full name and the truck number. 5. If you don’t understand something, ask questions. Reputable movers will be happy to answer them. If the moving company can’t or won’t answer your questions, you might want to look for another mover. 6. You can find nearly 2,800 certified ProMovers, who meet high standards of safety and professionalism, at www.Moving.org. A ProMover certification takes the worry and hassle out of your move and helps you locate reputable, qualified movers—from small, family-run businesses to national van lines—who have been trained and tested. Learn More For further facts and tips and to find nearby certified movers, go to www.Moving.org.

Submitted by KRISTINE TODARO Muhlenberg College encourages students in all disciplines to study overseas at quality institutions in Europe, Australia, Asia, Latin America and Africa. In fact, 58 percent of Muhlenberg graduates from the Class of 2018 studied abroad during their undergraduate years. Nearly 120 students studied abroad during the fall 2018 semester, including Melissa Reph, Class of 2020, from Bath, who studied in United States. Muhlenberg supports four discipline-specific study abroad opportunities, two each semester: The London Theatre Program at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and the program for Accounting, Business and Economics majors at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands are offered during the fall semester. A program for Media & Communication and Film Studies majors in Dublin, Ireland, and a Dance program in Arezzo, Italy, are both offered during the spring semester. In addition, Muhlenberg has established exchange opportunities in Europe and in Japan. Some students choose to experience global education in an accelerated immersive experience. MILA (Muhlenberg Independent Learning Abroad) courses meet on campus during the semester and include faculty-led short-term study abroad trips between semester breaks. Other students spend time in the nation's capital, the Muhlenberg Washington DC Semester, which offers a world of opportunity in every field of study. A small, personalized program, students live, study and intern while earning a full semester of academic credit during the fall or spring semesters or half a semester of credit in the summer.
