Bath Council welcomes Two personnel changes by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Two new personnel changes were announced on Monday at Bath Borough Council meeting. Council president Mark Saginario introduced the new office secretary, Marena Rasmus, and the new zoning officer, Shawn Leidy of CodeMasters. One resolution was approved, a Certificate of Appropriateness for 104 S. Chestnut St. Three ordinances were adopted. One adopted Colonial Regional Police Department’s uniform traffic regulations, which regulates parking, removal of vehicles, snow emergencies, penalties and form of notice of violations. A second ordinance amends the streets and sidewalks ordinance, which allows up to 24 hours to clear sidewalks, and now adds fire hydrants. An ordinance setting height and maximum size of storage sheds and greenhouses up to 12 ft. in height and 240 square
feet, along with limiting storage, repair and painting of motor vehicles and boats was passed, but not before some objections were voiced by Councilman Michael Reph. Two other ordinances are being considered: in drafting phase is one that recognizes the Bath Vol. Fire Dept. and authorizes emergency response reimbursement. Another has been drafted, which adds the terms “Mixed Use” and “Underlying Zoning District” to be added to the Bath zoning ordinance. It would also establish the schedule of permitted use, dimensional requirements for mixed use, accessory uses, conditional uses and special exception uses in a parking overlay district. Council reports In reports made by committee members were these items: MetEd has been contacted about the top of a utility pole that is hanging loose on E. Main St.; cross walks will be painted; the conContinued on page 7

East Allen Township Manager Deborah Seiple said at Thursday night’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors that she has heard nothing regarding the latest plans for the FedEx megahub distribution center, except what she reads in the newspaper. The Lehigh-Northampton Airport Authority reportedly has agreed to sell an additional 233 acres to the Rockefeller Group, which could mean another two warehouses of one million square feet each. It includes 21 acres north of the Allen Township Fe-
dEx site and 57 acres west of it, along with a 155-acre parcel of land along Willowbrook Rd. east of FedEx in East Allen Township. Early estimates in 2012 were that an additional 12,000 cars and 1,800 trucks would be using local roads once the warehouse distribution center is in full operation, possibly by mid-2018. Ground will be broken in June for 24 months of construction, six days a week. Other matters • The board granted a waiver request by Rebecca Sutton on reContinued on page 3

tion that benefits families with working parents. The project consisted of painting a common area and stairwell, stripping and waxing floors, building planter boxes and a garden, purchasing
and constructing an environmentally friendly recycled plastic table, painting and hanging bi-fold doors, replacing lattice around an external classroom and repairing shelving units. The project was completed by a crew of 17 volunteers who worked a total of more than 200 man-hours. Volunteers consisted of members of Boy Scout Troop 50 along with family and friends. Chuss is currently a fresh-
man at Northampton Area High School and a member of Boy Scout Troop 50 in Moorestown. He has served his troop as the Senior Patrol Leader and currently holds the rank of Life, the rank before Eagle.

Employees come first
“Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees they will take care of your customers. So simple and such common sense, but it works.” – Richard Branson Even at a local coffee shop. A customer walks in and asks for orange juice and two slices of lemon cake. Unfortunately, they are out of orange juice and only have one slice of cake. The employee handling this situation apologetically and professionally will make all of the difference. Having a happy, highly trained employee is the game changer. Your employees are your lifeline. You need to treat them like gold. I learned a long time ago when I was coaching softball that your players will act as you act. Be a coach and it will be contagious. Here are five ideas to take care of your staff:
1. Make sure you empower all
new employees to be successful. 2. An employer is focused on cash flow. A leader is focused on coaching. Be a coach. 3. Show appreciation for good work.

Understanding that none of us are immune to falling into the busy trap, I will share that I have gotten caught up in the busyness of life, both personally and professionally. At some point we all need to take stock of what we are actually doing with the extremely brief time we live here on earth. For quite some time now I have been following through on my intentional decision to simplify, to reduce, to slow down the pace. Clearly, I cannot slow down the pace of anyone or anything else but I can slow down myself. The results have been staggering; life changing. To start my transition I decided to commit to exercises that help me along my way. This may sound odd to you but practicing slowing down is a must for a positive outcome. To begin with, I decided that I will now only drive in the slow lane on the highways for a while.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip We’re getting more April weather all week, even though we’re into the first week of May. But, the ground does need the rain, so just grin and bear the cloudy, cool weather. The sun will come out. I promise. . . . The combination oughta help out the plants and flowers that the Governor Wolf Historical Society wants to show off next Friday and Saturday, May 13 and 14 for their Country Garden Faire down at the Wolf Academy and Ralston-McKeen House, and in the Governor’s Grove, where all those flowers, vegetable plants and herbs will be growing. I hear they’re gonna have re-enactors from the Civil War Pa. Volunteers, too, along with some fun for the kids. They do a great job, making history come alive, so Elmira and Pete will be taking it all in. I hope you do, too. . . .There must have been an accident up along the Bath-Chapman road on Monday. I hear there were a couple Bethlehem Township ambulances coming down from there, and the road was blocked off by fire police at the hilly road that leads up to the Southmoore Golf Course. . . . There must have been another accident about midnight Monday ‘cause the lights flickered, then went out completely about five or six minutes later and stayed off for a couple hours. I was burning the midnight oil. Lucky I had a mini flashlight handy ‘cause it was pitch black! . . . .The rain we’ve been getting hasn’t amounted to much, so Moore Township has their signs up that read “Burn Ban In Effect.” They should probably stay up for a while ‘cause we’re down two or three inches in rain. What we’ve had has stalled the paving work on 512. . . .I reckon a lit-
tle rain fell on the Phillies, too, ‘cause after winning six games in a row against Washington and Cleveland, they ran into a homer barrage out St. Louis way, started by none other than pitcher Wainwright. It was a big blow to Betty and Gigi, that’s for sure. . . . With all the TV coverage the presidential primary has been getting, it sure has been whacky on both sides. Only a few months more of this, and we’ll see what happens in the end at the conventions in Philly and Cleveland. . . .Gas prices keep going up and up again, and are at $2.33 the last I looked. . . .Most of the snow birds have returned to their homes in the North, finding the air cooler than expected. There were some big storms, even a tornado around Atlanta on Monday. . . .I hear Herb Silfies might miss the rest of the hearts season, ‘cause he has a few more weeks to recover from his illnesses, and Warren Henning says it ends around May 25. Joe Abraham may still be down Florida way, playing golf . . . .Elmira had a pot of home-made vegetable soup on the stove. Nothing better than hot soup on a dreary day. Take care and don’t let the bedbugs bite.

Bowman is an original cavalry soldier, as his first assignment was with the HHT 2/104 RSTA CAV, part of the 56th Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT). Upon his return from Iraq, Bowman found himself struggling with the reintegration of life outside the military, however he found the great wilderness a great help after combat. In April 2014, Bowman was medically discharged from the military. As many after military life want to continue to serve, so did Bowman. In June 2015, Bowman brought together a group of community leaders to pitch the idea of creating a nonprofit organization for veterans and outdoor activities: Pennsylvania Outdoor Veterans, Inc. was born. The mission of Pennsylvania Outdoor Veterans, Inc. is to provide a means to enhance physical and emotional healing through camaraderie during hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities for veterans, as well as education for families on Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), suicide, and other hardships after the military life. “Upon returning home, I did

not have someone standing in front of my formation to tell me what I would experience after war,” Bowman said. “We have taught our men and woman to go to war, we just have taught them to come home. Our suicide rates among combat veterans and even non- combat are shocking.” The Veteran Affairs Administration and Department of Defense estimates 22 suicides per 100,000. Bowman points out, “Be cautious with that number, that number of 22 a day is only active duty and does not reflect veterans whom have been discharged medically or otherwise.” The organization is comprised of seven Board of Directors members and Bowman is the Executive Director in a volunteer capacity. Pennsylvania OutdoorVeterans, Inc. is currently planning a meat raffle in conjunction with Miller Charm Farms of Tamaqua and Milan Printing who donated the printing of the tickets. Also sponsoring is Diamond Xpress, LLC, Coast to Coast Refrigerated Trucking Company based out of Yuba City, California. The organization plans on attending a number of outreach events in the local area, including the Carbon County Veterans Expo and Pet A Pet for a Vet on June 11 in Lehighton. Pennsylvania Outdoor Veterans, Inc. is a proud member of Carbon County Chamber of Commerce and the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations (PANO) which the organization is pursuing the Standard for Excellence®. Anyone wishing to contribute donations to the organizations or interested in sponsoring an event may do so by sending donations to:

Bath council
Continued from page 1 tract for trash hauling remains under review; a borough-wide cleaning will be held on a Saturday in the third week of May; CRPD will have a 5K run to remember fallen police officers. Councilwoman Carol-Bear Heckman contacted three landscaping businesses for bids on a Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber Foundation Main Street grant, with $4,000 in matching funds. The money would be used to landscape the southern part of Monocacy Creek Park, with $1,000 from Bath Business & Community Partnership, $1,000 from Parks & Recreation, and $2,000 from GLVCF. Sunnieside Landscaping submitted a bid, and proposed stone and boulders at the three beds. Mrs. Heckman also reported that the farmers market opening day will be on Friday, May 20 with a ribbon cutting. . . .A Creekside Arts Festival will be held at Monocacy Creek Park on Saturday, June 18 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a number of hand-made crafters showing their wares. . . .The Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce will host a HALO event on Thursday, June 16 to benefit the dog park and S. Seem Antiques will have a Final Thursday to benefit the Bath Food Bank on May 26. Saginario reported that Bath has been approved for FEMA storm reimbursement, in which application for $2,800 was applied. Council approved $75 in participation for a special Home News supplement on Bath in August. Stories about Bath are welcome. Summer help will be hired for grass cutting in parks. Council voted to table the Rental Inspection & Registry Committee’s actions until 2017, due to a large amount of zoning and legal work that is involved. On capital improvements, adjustments were made to fix sinkholes at Bath Firefighters Park and make repairs from storm damage to Sleepy Hollow Rd. Washington St. and Penn St. repairs are being put off for now. Saginario commented that committees are meeting quarterly and they are working on new policies. Negotiations with Bath municipal employees, now unionized with AFSCME, will be held in May. Betty Fields reported problems she had with notices received on snow clearance and garbage removal. Saginario said there were deficiencies in the office that are being corrected. Catherine Zakos suggested a community bulletin board listing special events in the borough. Saginario said Economic Development could look for a grant to pay for it. She also had complaints about tax receipts and an increase in the upfront fee for use of the Keystone Park pavilion. Saginario said Council is “approaching over budget in legal fees,” and adjustments will be made. Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirab-
ito submitted a list of her many meetings and events she attended in March and April. She was congratulated for winning the Boy Scouts of America Good Scout Award at a recent banquet.

Phantoms helping ECHL affiliate Reading Royals playoff run by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock) The Philadelphia Flyers and Lehigh Valley Phantoms might be in offseason mode, but the Flyers’ ECHL (East Coast Hockey Legue) affiliate Reading Royals are in the second round of the Kelly Cup Playoffs after an impressive upset of top-ranked Toledo saw the Royals advance following a Game Seven win last week. The Royals are currently two games into a seven-game second round series tied at one game
apiece with the Wheeling Nailers, ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The next three games – Games Three, Four and Five – will be played at the Santander Arena in Reading where the Royals look to make good use of home ice advantage after splitting the first two games of the series on the road. In total, nine players who have appeared in the ECHL playoffs with Reading spent some time in the AHL this season with the Phantoms, including forward Kevin Goumas whose hat trick last
week in Game Seven led the Royals to a series-clinching first round win. Goumas currently leads the Royals in postseason scoring with 10 points (four goals, six assists) through nine games. Also on the Royals roster familiar to those in the Lehigh Valley include goaltender Martin Ouellette, defensemen Adam Comrie, Max Lamarche and Jesper Pettersson and forwards Brandon Alderson, Joe Rehkamp, Cam Reid and Kevin Sundher.

While the NHL’s free agency period doesn’t begin until July 1st, two players who were on AHL deals with the Phantoms in 201516 have already found new homes for next season. Forwards Pavel Padakin and Geoff Walker have both opted to play overseas next season, with Padakin signing a one-year contract in Russian pro hockey league KHL with HC Sochi and Walker signing a one-year deal to play pro hockey in Sweden with Tingsryds AIF. Following a three-year Canadian junior hockey league career in the Western Hockey League (WHL), Padakin spent his first year of professional hockey in 2015-16 split between the Phantoms (AHL) and Royals (ECHL). In his time with Lehigh Valley, he tallied nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 41 AHL games while putting up much better offensive numbers during his stint in Reading with 17 points (eight goals, nine assists) in 26 ECHL games. The move to Sweden presents a fresh start for Walker, who joined the Phantoms on an AHL contract last offseason but was limited to just five games (one goal, five assists) in the ECHL with Reading before injuries ended his season. Walker did skate with the Phantoms at practice on occasion in the final weeks of their regular season, but didn’t make a return to the lineup before the season ended on April 17.

The Greatest Message Martin Luther called John 3:16 "The heart of the Bible--the Gospel in miniature." It's so simple a child can understand it; yet it condenses the deep and marvelous truths of redemption into these few pungent words: "So loved" . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Degree "God" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Lover "That he gave" . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Act "The world" . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Number "That whosoever" . . . . . .The Greatest Invitation "His only begotten Son" . . . . .The Greatest Gift "In him" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Person "Believeth" . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Simplicity "But" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Difference "Should not perish" . .The Greatest Deliverance "Everlasting life" . . . . .The Greatest Possession "Have" . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .The Greatest Certainty Some years ago, I was asked to speak to a dying man following our church service in a convalescent home. The family had been called together and told that he was dying. They asked if I would speak to him about salvation and explained that he appeared to be very fearful of dying. He could not speak because of a stroke years before. I explained to him why Jesus came to this world and briefly told him how to accept Christ. Then I asked him to pray in his heart and led him in a sinner's prayer. After prayer, his son said, "Dad, if you prayed that prayer in your heart, would you squeeze my hand?" He did. Then to everyone's amazement, he reached over and took my hand and gave it a good strong squeeze! Several days later, I was asked to conduct his funeral and there the family told me how changed his disposition was after he had received Jesus Christ into his heart. His fears of dying had left him, and he died in peace having accepted the greatest message in the world! What about you? Have you responded to the greatest message in the world?

Northampton Area Historical Society news submitted by IRENE URBAN The Siegfried Railroad Station, home of the Northampton Area Historical Society, will be open to visitors for the first time this year on Sunday, May 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. The station is a museum housing artifacts of the Northampton area. It is located on West 21st Street (Route 329) in Northampton. There are many items on display at the station, but the most impressive item this year is the new wood floor in the former women’s waiting room. The old concrete floor had to be removed because it was compromising the stability of the building. The work was done through a grant from the Northampton County Hotel Tax program and society funds gotten through fundraisers and donations from the public. There is no charge to visit the station, but donations are always accepted. For more information, call 610-262-4748 or 610-2628198.
