someone needed something. This was my first full-time job. I earned $2.50 a week. You didn’t worry about how many hours you were there. The store was also a favorite hangout for the men, especially in winter or when the quarry wasn’t working. They played cards, checkers and had plenty of conversations. One night the men wouldn’t go home, they wanted to keep me there as long as possible. At 2:30 a.m. my father came looking for me. He said it was time to come home and with that the store emptied pretty quickly. 7 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. was a bit long for a young fellow.” “We sold kerosene from 50 gallon drums for light and heat. The first wrapped bread was brought in from Bethlehem by Mr. Raines. After awhile it was on our shelves. As a youth, milk was sold raw and dipped from a can. The first bottled milk at the store came from the ‘Northampton Dairy.’ The post office was in the store. The mail was brought in from Bath by Roy Repsher, a World War I vet-
eran who lost a leg in the conflict. We sold stamps and people picked up their mail any time the store was open. I had to keep records and they were checked each year by a government auditor.” For some reason, I think Mr. Lakey and the Chapman’s store kept better records than this company called Enron! The Chapman’s store experience could have done Enron a world of good. Mr. Lakey spoke kindly of another Chapman’s resident, Mr. Clyde Roberts. He said, “When Clyde was born, his father rushed into the store and said, ‘It’s a boy.’ The nickname Clyde ‘Boy’ Roberts stuck, a nickname not recalled by younger Chapman’s residents.” Earl Chapman ran the Chapman’s Quarry Company store. Mrs. Lakey remembers, “We bought most of our things there. The company gave the workers credit. The first thing you did was pay the bill at the end of the month. If work was slow, you couldn’t pay and the store had to wait.” Next time: Rent $8 a month.

Home Improvement Picking a paint color is as easy as 1-2-3 (NAPSI)—Whether it’s the sifting through mountains of swatches or trying to remember unique names for the color blue, selecting a new paint color for your home can be a
daunting task. However, Chris Stigliano, merchandising director at Lowe’s, says there are three stress-free steps you can take to ensure you choose the right color.
Step 1: Size Up Your Room
• Consider its shape and size: A lighter color can make a small room feel more spacious, while a darker color can help an immense room seem cozier. • Take architectural details into account: Think molding, trim, columns and brackets. What’s attractive and what’s not? Varied intensities and hues can complement architecture, furnishings and art. The right paint can accentuate a room’s features or hide them.

• Factor in function: Will the main purpose of the room be eating, sleeping, working, entertaining or something else entirely? A warm color in the living room or family room creates a more comfortable and inviting atmosphere for guests than a cooler one.
Step 2: Determine Color Palette
• Consider yourself: Paint color should reflect your mood and personality. What are your favorite colors? If you’re having trouble selecting a shade, try looking in your closet. The colors you enjoy wearing are the ones that make you feel good. You’re the one who has to live in the space so live with the shades you love. • Emotional response: Studies show that room color can affect your mood. Hues of blue, green

and neutrals—such as beige, gray and white—can create an overall sense of calm. On the other hand, shades of red, orange and bright yellow provoke high energy. Find out the colors that work best in each area of your home. • Work with what’s already there: If you’ve already chosen an interior decor or if you’re working with a room that’s already furnished, focus on a favorite fabric color, piece of art or furniture, or other object. Bring a pillow, piece of fabric or even a favorite pair of shoes to Lowe’s and an associate will custom blend a paint shade to match.
Step 3: Get Samples
• Ask for a color wheel: The color wheel has thousands of hues to choose from so bear in mind that paint is generally divided into two groups:
bolds—reds, greens, pinks, blues, greens and purples— and neutrals—pastels, beiges, grays and whites. Neutrals are generally considered to be a safer choice because they blend with many different decor styles, meaning if you plan to change your decor later, you can often keep the same color walls. • Get three or four colors you like: Colors in the store often look different at home because of the changes in light. Rather than running the risk of getting a gallon of paint you don’t like, try a few samples first. Samples are an inexpensive way to ensure you’re making a good choice. • Test: Paint a one-foot square in each color on your wall. Over several days, watch the colors at different times of day, comparing natural sunlight and artificial light.
Allen Township planners Review changes to land Development plan, Short Lane By JUSTIN SWEITZER Allen Township planners had their hands full at their May 15 meeting, as they reviewed multiple subdivisions, a land development plan and the scheduling of changes to Short Lane. In what was perhaps the most complex plan of the night, the planning commission debated how to address the land development plan of Harold Dashuta, whose proposed development of an office building could have potentially impacted the timing of a cul-de-sac’s creation on Short Lane. While the planning commission originally discussed having the township’s board of supervisors close Short Lane to assist
Dashuta with his development, Township Engineer Robert Cox said that little to no changes would have to be made to Short Lane for Dashuta to begin preparations for demolition and development on his property. “If Short Lane was left to just exist as it is, until the time comes and it gets a cul-de-sac and it gets changed, does it really affect you?” Cox asked. “The only thing they need to do is temporarily have a radius from the North to turn into their project; all traffic exits to the right.” The scheduled improvements to Short Lane include implementing a cul-de-sac at the end of the road as it connects to Atlas Road. Also in the cards is to make
Short Lane a two-way street, to minimize potential dangers that have resulted from vehicles traveling the wrong way on the oneway road. Cox noted that the cul-de-sac could be made quickly without affecting Dashuta’s business. The commission agreed to temporarily leave Short Lane the way it is, with Dashuta implementing a turning radius for the purposes of construction. Chairman Eugene Clater said the township will visit the idea of making the changes to Short Lane once the overall intersection plan is resolved and once the township gets their current HOP issue exhumed. In addition to the decision on

Short Lane, the commission also moved to go forward with two other points that Clater outlined for the commission’s motion. “We’ve got two pieces,” Clater said. “One is to recommend to the supervisors that they work with you to efficiently resolve the zoning issues in the best interests of everybody.” The other, Clater said, was to ask supervisors to provide Dashuta with a waiver to move forward with certain improvements within a specified area of his plan. Clater said he encourages Dashuta to come back for the commission’s June 19 meeting, with a more finalized plan in place.

Emotional IntelligenceSeven Reasons Why Emotional Intelligence (EQ) the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically. Some say it can be the key to personal and professional success. When emotional intelligence is high, you have the ability to read people, which can be very important when building a business. I’ve been known to say he or she has no self-awareness based on a behavior, which might include lack of self control, the inability to access someone’s emotions or actions. A good example is, when you are shopping, ready to check out and the cashier is completely ignoring you and talking or texting a friend, or you are with someone and they take over the conversation, get too close to you and literally invade your personal space. Both have no self-awareness. I think there are seven reasons why someone with Emotional Intelligence (EQ) has a better chance of making it in business.
1. They persevere- giv-
ing up is not an option. The one and only option is finding a solution even if it means failing once in a while. 2. They have the ability to be happy most of the time. Not to say they don’t have their moments, but working with customers can be challenging and if you start out happy, most days will be smooth sailing. 3. They can and do motivate themselves; they get up and go every day. 4. They position themselves as an expert, others look to them for advice. 5. They are lifelong learners - they read every small business book they can get their hands on like “The Tipping Point.” Read it, you will not regret it. 6. They not only embrace change, they create it. 7. They take care of people, first their staff and second their customers. In a 1995 interview, Steve Jobs said, “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-
successful ones is pure perseverance.” Someone once asked me, “What makes you an expert?” My answer was, “My clients, my friends, my community, my associations and more.” You can be an expert too. Pay attention to your own self-awareness and position yourself genuinely as an expert. After all, we are all experts at something.

Friendship TreePart Two On my last trip to the Bath Museum, I discovered more items pertaining to the Friendship Tree
that I hadn't noticed on my previous visit. They have two photos of the tree, one in its prime and one of the tree with just one supported limb remaining. Look at the base of the tree in the picture to see how small the buildings are in
comparison. There is bark from the tree, wood from the tree, and pieces of the cable that supported it in its final years. There is a bronze "America's Friendship Tree" plaque stating the tree was registered in the "Hall of Fame for Trees." A large photo of General Charles Brown, greatgreat nephew of General Robert Brown, planter of the Friendship Tree hangs on the wall. It is autographed by Gen. Charles Brown and was dedicated to the
Allen supervisors receive Sewer system report By JUSTIN SWEITZER The Allen Township Board of Supervisors received recommendations on how to improve the township’s sanitary sewer system at their May 11 meeting. In a report from Andrea Martin of Barry Isett & Associates, Martin suggested that each manhole in the borough should be opened and inspected to document the current condition of the township’s sewer system. Some manholes, according to the report, had a significant buildup of solids, which Martin said should be flushed on an as-needed basis. Martin also noted that in Willow Green, multiple manholes contained hydrogen sulfide buildup, which could lead to the deterioration of concrete manholes if not addressed. “Basically, what happens is the sewage is sitting there because the flows are so low and there are some solids buildup that are basically sitting in there cooking. The hydrogen sulfide acid is released
and it eats away the concrete,” Martin said. “That over time will not get better, it will only get worse and you will be looking at significant repairs if that is not addressed.” Martin told supervisors that the township’s pump stations were in fairly good shape, only needing some minor improvements like the installation of wireless remote monitors, and some form of cover to shield appliances and employees from the elements. “The pump stations generally looked pretty good,” Martin said. The report presented to council also featured other suggestions pertaining to the township’s sewer system. Barry Isett & Associates recommended televising, or placing cameras inside, the entire system “to establish a baseline of the current condition and allow employees to better respond to any future emergencies,” according to the report. Martin’s report also suggested that mains which have manholes with standing wa-
ter should be televised first. To address manholes that showed signs of hydrogen sulfide buildup, the report said the township should line affected manholes with a spray-on epoxy coating. Following the report, the board made a motion to proceed with the investigations that were outlined and suggested by Barry Isett & Associates to get a head start on creating a more uniform plan for the borough’s sanitary sewer system. In other business, township supervisors also announced an electronic recycling event scheduled for June 10 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Allen Township Fire Company parking lot. The event will be open to all township residents to properly dispose of televisions, computers and other electronic items. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be on May 23 at 7 p.m.

Old Bath Public School (1950s) Submitted by
CHARLES MCILHANEY JR. The former Bath Public School at Penn and Washington Streets reflects an era when the building, along with the education offered there, were built basic and solid. For most of my time as a student there, starting September of 1952, the sturdy brick building housed individual classrooms for grades first through sixth. The classrooms had wooden floors and towering wooden frame windows featuring sills wide enough for our schoolmarms to display their plants, flowers and Pussy Willow branches. The upper sections were opened with use of a long pole. Each classroom had an adjoined “cloakroom,” a sort of walk through closet to store hats, coats and boots. At times, it also served as a temporary solitary confinement area for a misbehaved student. Classroom walls were fitted with slate blackboards. Here you might find, along with a daily assignment, a student’s coerced penance, like “I will not chew gum in class” written one hunContinued on page 13

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip I hope all mothers enjoyed their day on Sunday, and their families helped make it so. There was a sprinkle of rain, but mostly sunny. Elmira loved the dozen roses and the extra hug and kisses I gave her on Mother’s Day. I even cooked breakfast and served it bedside, a first for me. . . .Tuesday was primary election, so the people who were picked to run in November in the municipal general election will have a few months to meet the voters . . . Speaking about breakfast, the Bath Lions hope to see you all at Applebees this Saturday as they put on their aprons and serve the customers, and raise enough money to buy a park bench for the paw park the borough’s gonna have. Reckon J.R. will welcome folks. Get there early (just before 8:00 o’clock) though, ‘cause after
breakfast Bath Borough Council is gonna have a town hall meeting down at the Bath Fire Co. social club to see if we keep the Colonial Regional Police Department or not because of the expense. That’s what it comes down to. Are we willing to pay the necessary taxes to keep the department intact? It’s a big question, but I think you get what you pay for. No doubt, they are professionals, with all the equipment needed to catch criminals, and it’s expensive to have enough well trained officers to keep everyone safe. As Mayor “Fi” and Councilman Mike Reph said at Council recently, “The CRPD is top notch.” Moore Township, Lehigh Township and Upper Nazareth Township have their own separate police forces, as do Nazareth and Northampton boroughs. Allen and East Allen rely on State Police coverage. And we’ve had CRPD ever since it was organized with Lower Nazareth and Hanover townships as partners. Get down to the meeting and have your questions answered,
even if you’re a few minutes late. . . . Northampton’s farmers market opened on Tuesday, but at a new location, at Smith Lane & Laubach Ave., near the municipal building. Bath’s market down at Green & Race Streets opens this Friday afternoon starting at 3:00 p.m. I can taste corn on the cob already, then strawberry short cake for dessert. Anyhow, we’ll see what they have in early crops. . . .Congrats to “Junior” DeGarmo for putting in 36 years of service to the Bath Firefighters and Beth Arcury for almost 25 years as the Northampton Area School District dental hygienist when she retires in June! . . . . It’s supposed to be like summertime in the 80’s and 90’s Wednesday and Thursday. It was windy on Monday. With the pollen count high, all you hay fever sufferers can just say, “A-h-chooo!!” . . . The Christ U.C.C. dartball players from Bath will collect their second place trophy on Monday night at the annual league banquet in Dryland UCC church at Newburg. Hopefully, they’ll

Police Blotter Possession of Marijuana on Spyglass Hill Road
Colonial Regional Police were dispatched to the area of Spyglass Hill Road on May 11 for a report of two suspicious vehicles that had been parked in the area multiple times that week. Police located the vehicles parked in the parking lot of Rehrig Park and upon making contact with the occupants, the odor of marijuana was detected in the vehicle. The occupants were identified as Parth Bhatt, 24 of Bath, and Anurag Arunachalam, 22 of Bethlehem. A small Ziploc baggie containing marijuana was found in Bhatt’s sock and in the vehicle police found a marijuana “roach” and cigarillos used for smoking marijuana in the center console area.

Incorrectly Prepared food at Denny’s
A crime of theft of services occurred at Denny’s in Hanover Township on May 1. Kara Schleicher, 42 of Whitehall, ordered food at Denny’s, consumed it, then complained that it was prepared incorrectly. Schleicher then wrote a note and left it on the table, stating the food was prepared incorrectly and that the server was to inform the manager that this meal would be on the house. She then left the scene in her vehicle.
Arson at Wegmans
On May 13, Colonial Regional Police observed a fire coming from the gas door area of a vehicle in the parking lot of the Wegmans in Lower Nazareth Township. Police extinguished the fire and discovered that it was intentionally set by putting a rag/shirt in the gas tank and lighting it on fire. Eric Burgey, 26, approached police and related that the vehicle was his and that he set the fire. Burgey was taken into custody and transported to Northampton County Prison to be arrainged on charges of arson, risking a catastrophe, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and restrictions on alcoholic beverages.
The mop incident Marijuana The following incident occurred on May 12 in Allen Township. Megan Mertz, 25 of Possession Northampton, and Jillian Hadinger, 22 of Northampton, got into a text messaging fight because Hadinger was supposed to have mopped the floor and Mertz accused her of not mopping the floor. Hadinger arrived at the house, where they both reside, and grabbed the mop and shoved it in Mertz’s face, striking her glasses and asking her if it looked like she hadn’t mopped. Mertz pushed the mop back and both individuals began to shove and slap one another. Hadinger was struck in the head by Mertz. Hadinger called 911 to report the fight. Harassment charges for Mertz and Hadinger were filed.

Weapons Offense/DUI/ Possession of Marijuana
Officers observed a vehicle being driven at high rates of speed and began following the vehicle east on Macada Road. Officers observed the vehicle slow down for the red traffic signal at the intersection of Jacksonville Road and then continue straight through the intersection. A traffic stop was conducted and Johnathan Crespo, 28 of Bethlehem, was identified as the driver. Crespo’s driving privileges were suspended in relation to a prior DUI, and officers detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage on Crespo as well as an odor of marijuana. Officers observed a juvenile passenger in the vehicle who was not properly seated in a child safety seat. Crespo then advised officers that he had a firearm in the vehicle and admitted to not having a license to carry. He was removed from the vehicle and detained. A search of his person revealed two small bags of marijuana in his pocket. The firearm (Ruger semi-auto) was located on the front passenger floorboard and was found to be loaded. Crespo was brought to the Bethlehem DUI Center for processing and he was found to have a BAC of 0.14 percent. Due to his DUI suspension, his limit is 0.02 percent rather than 0.08 percent. He has been charged with possessing a firearm without a license, DUI, endangering welfare of children, possession of marijuana, DUI suspension and numerous traffic infractions.

The Inventor
At the turn of the 20th century there was an inventor who invented a new machine and built several of them. A factory bought one, but after a while it quit working. Engineers from the company looked at it, but could not figure out what was wrong with it. Finally the owner of the factory called the inventor who looked at it, got out a tool and tinkered with it for a couple minutes, and then turned to the owner and said, “Well, your problem is solved.” The inventor handed the owner a bill for $100--a lot of money back then. The owner exclaimed, “$100! You only tinkered around for a few minutes!” The inventor replied, “$10 for tinkering and $90 for knowing where to tinker.” Just as the inventor knew more about the machine than anyone because he had built it, God knows more about us than anyone because He created us. “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves” (Psalm 100:3). God knows more about us than we even know about ourselves as Jesus pointed out in Luke 12:7, “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Have you ever bothered to count the number of the hairs on your head? You might say, “That seems so insignificant!” Yes, and it underscores the very point that Jesus was making. God Who knows the insignificant things about you also knows the significant things—your needs, problems, etc. God can solve your problems because He knows more about you and your problems than you do! Furthermore, you are important to Him as Jesus emphasized here in Luke 12:6-7. Referring to sparrows, Jesus said, “not one of them is forgotten before God” and then He declared that to Him you “are of more value than many sparrows.” I urge you to ask the Lord for His help right now in your life by, “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7).

dred times. Then, there was the dreaded monthly poem sprawled across the full wall of slate, which had to be copied, memorized and finally recited in front of the class. The school desks had holes to hold an ink well. By my time, the days of pen and ink were over. We were issued lead pencils tipped with rubber erasers. In my case, the eraser was always worn down long before the pencil. We started each day with a prayer, and a “Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.” We clapped the chalk off blackboard erasers, went outside for recess and learned our ABC’s.

Creative Corner By KATHLEEN UNGER
Yoga Class
Several years ago, four girls from the office where I worked decided to take a yoga class. We shopped for the right leotards and attended our first class with brand new tights and new exercise mats. The instructor was about 28 years old, male, quite slender and could easily sit in the lotus position with no problem. After ten weeks, the course ended and our instructor invited the class to his home to learn more about the Indian culture and experience the flavors of Indian cooking. We followed our host’s directions and after traveling about 55 miles, we turned off the main highway onto a narrow lane, arriving at “the farm.” The place looked abandoned except for several animals grazing on the front lawn. A horse stood in the yard with a white bandage around his belly and several mutts were roaming the grounds. The doors to the house were standing wide open and animals wandered in and out at their own free will. We met our host in the meditation room and he introduced us to two of the women who lived with him in the house. They wore love beads and they looked like they belonged back in the 60s. At this point we realized we had stepped into a commune. After showing us the other rooms, our host suggested we help to prepare the food so we could understand the ways of Indian cooking. As I reached for a pan, I noticed that all the cookware was dirty. I looked into the oven, which had obviously never been cleaned. One of my friends helped prepare the salad made from dandelion leaves, watercress and other weeds and flower petals found in the orchard. Another gal prepared the mint tea and another helped make the dessert. It was a pale looking dish made from farina, sunflower sees and raisins. “We live off the land,” Ken told us as we sat down at a large rough-hewn table. We ate from odds and ends of mismatched
dinnerware and mixed pieces of flatware. I was afraid to drink from the pewter tankard I had been given. I felt itchy and very uncomfortable, not knowing where I could get sick from the strange food prepared in a dirty, grimy kitchen by people I did not know or care to know. Somehow we got through the meal and Ken announced it was time for meditation. We sat on the faded, animal stained blue rug in the meditation room. After 45 minutes, we made excuses to leave. “Lord, just let us get out of here and home safely,” I whispered. On the way home, no one said a word; we were in shock. We had no idea when we were invited to experience the art of Indian cooking that we would be subjected to the dirty and crude living arrangements of a commune. After some time, we started talking about how awful the experience was and that we couldn’t wait to get home and wash all the dirt and germs from our bodies and clothes. What an experience! We agreed not to be coaxed into a situation like that ever again.
