Fields resigns from Bath Borough Council

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

A bombshell hit at Bath Borough Council meeting on Monday night. After opening the meeting, President Robert R. Fields made this statement: “Being born and raised in Bath and living here all my life, I never thought of living anywhere else.

I served Bath as a volunteer firefighter and fire chief, assistant police chief for the former Borough of Bath Police Department.

I served on the Borough Council for 15 years, the last five and a half years as president. I enjoyed every minute of it until the last one and a half years when too many things went on behind my back. I think it is time for me to leave. This letter is my resignation from the Borough of Bath Council, effective immediately.”

With that said, Fields left the meeting room. The gavel was turned over to vice president Mark Saginario, who said he was surprised and shocked at the res-

ignation. “I wasn’t expecting that,” he said. Council then accepted the resignation with regret.

At the end Robert Fields of the meeting, Council voted to elevate Saginario to president; Carol Bear-Heckman as vice president, and Michael Reph as president pro-tem.

They voted to advertise for interview of candidates to fill the Council seat, and have up to 30 days to do so.

Other Matters • Shirley Arnold reported a dumping incident within a short distance from the high-quality Monocacy Creek. Engine fluids were dumped by an individual.

Fire Chief Ed Demchak said he had no information on the incident, but it was reported to Colonial Regional Police.

Ms. Arnold also was concerned about the state of playground equipment in local parks. Councilwoman Jennifer George said applications were made for a matching grant to put in new equipment, but further efforts to gain grant money were put on hold until a new borough manager is named. It was reported shortly afterward that Bradford Flynn has been hired and will begin his duties at the May 13 special meeting. Mrs. George said Council has had to prioritize where they are spending money and much of it had to go into road repairs. .

• Catherine Zakos expressed her concern with the crossing at W. Main & Race Sts. To install a traffic light, it was estimated to cost $90,000.

• Councilwoman Heckman reported that the Bath Farmers Market will open Friday, May 15 at Keystone Park. There was a discussion between farmers market manager Allison Czapp and

Banner program and police Cameras discussed at Naz. Meeting

by DAVE SICA At the April 30 Nazareth Council Workshop meeting a variety of issues were discussed, including the banner program and the police surveillance cameras in the park.

Stephanie Varone, Nazareth Borough Downtown Coordinator, discussed the future of the banner program. Issues with Met-Ed, the local electric company, have caused the council to put the banner program on hold until they get everything sorted out with the company. Met-Ed is seeking an updated list and information regarding poles with ban-

ners currently and poles that are being requested. Varone said that she needs to check every pole, and joked that she “knows too much about poles already.”

Currently, Varone estimates that 22 to 24 businesses are requesting banners. She stated that although they focused on Main Street that other streets, such as Belvedere and Center Street can be available for banners.

The Nazareth Farmers Market has grown exponentially since the idea first took root. It has 21 vendors now and will be open Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

The market will be open through

October 31. Varone said that she is looking into the possibility of setting up community service students at the Market. She also said there is potential for concerts there in the fall.

Councilman Brian Regn said the upgrade to the police camera system will be finished this week.

Regn presented one motion that caused a bit of controversy. The cameras would cost $4,000 and would be issued to each officer.

The day’s recording would be downloaded and backed up to a police server when the camera was docked at the end of each shift.

Mayor Carl Styre suggested that

Council on funding and access to checks, and the possibility of food stamps under the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, with reimbursements by the USDA. The market and its many vendors are under the Borough of Bath jurisdiction, and Ms. Czapp said there are no private farmers markets in the Lehigh Valley. At the May 13 meeting, the auditor will be brought into a discussion on a checking account. Ms. Czapp is working with a local bank employee, Mary Kositz.

• Saginario reported on an email request by a resident for a 3-way stop sign at Easter Terrace & Mayfair St., along with speed bumps to slow motorists. Engineer Ryan Christman will check on costs and he and Flynn will confer on other locations in the borough.

• Councilman Mike Reph had two bids that were accepted for work on the municipal building –– roofing work by JCK Roofing Continued on page 3 a policy should be put in place to make sure the officers cannot turn off the cameras at will.

However, Nazareth Police Chief Thomas Trachta objected to not allowing the officers to have autonomy to operate the cameras.

Regn and Councilman Charles Donello agreed with the mayor, saying the cameras would be pointless if the officers could disable them. Chief Trachta argued that it needed to be at the officer’s discretion, citing bathroom breaks and sexual assault victim cases. All parties agreed that they needed to do more research on the issue. In other news, the bids are in for setting up the Nazareth Pool Fence: Anchor Fence would do the work for $23,491, Triboro Fence will do it for a little over $22,000 and Promax Fence Systems will do it for $21,249.

submitted by ELIZABETH BRANDL At the April meeting of The Forks of the Delaware Bottle Collectors Association, Dick Tucker presented Part One of The Seitz Brewing Company (1821-1900).

Dick’s fascinating presentation explained the history of The Seitz Brewing Company, which was located along the Delaware at Easton. He told how Frederick Seitz came to America in 1819, and founded the Seitz Brewery in 1821. The brewery was in operation, and continued to be run by the Seitz family, for more than 100 years, closing in 1928.

Dick Tucker discussed and displayed more than 50 Seitz beer bottles, chronicling the history of the brewery from the first corked beer bottles until the crown cap bottle appeared in 1892. These bottles are very desirable to collectors as they are all embossed with Easton, and the name of the brewery. The bottles are also very colorful, having colors such as cobalt blue, dark green, aqua and clear.

Dick will present RedWolf-1 Part Two of The Seitz Brewing Company (1900-1928) on Thursday, May

Muncipal waste Violations in Bath

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Zoning Officer Dennis Huth on Monday reported to Bath Borough Council that on several walking tours of Bath recently, he found 139 properties storing municipal solid waste in front of their main building, 102 at the side, and 139 in the rear, for a total of 380 total violations.

This was based on Section 1475 that “no storage shall be visible from public view, except in the 12-hour period prior to scheduled pick-up by a duly licensed waste hauler,” in this case, J. P. Mascaro & Sons.

Huth said there were numerous properties with plastic bags that are legal, but others in overflowing plastic or metal containers that don’t have covers. The bags can’t have rips, tears or punctures, ensuring they are sealed. He sent out nine warning notices to people with overflowing containers.

In further citing of the MSW ordinance, Huth said that waste shall at all times be stored in enclosed containers, inaccessible to birds and vermin. They also can-

not contain sewage and industrial wastes, poisons, acids, caustics, hazardous wastes, infectious materials, and any other dangerous materials and substances. Recyclables shall only be stored in borough-designated containers, and only after all food stuffs and other material which draw insects, birds and vermin have been removed.”

Huth was also dismayed at the amount of people who fail to have their homes display the number of their property. It is a requirement in area townships for emergency purposes. According to Huth, the code requirement for the display numbers are four inches high with the letters, at least, half an inch thick. The numbers should be placed in a position that is easily visible and should contrast with the background. “You don’t want black letters on a dark gray surface,” he said.

Councilwomen Jennifer George and Carol Bear-Heckman were appointed to review the municipal solid waste ordinance to check what can be added to make people follow cleaner

Mrs. George has previously suggested having a few central locations, where residents can place their trash, such as in large dumpsters. The hauler would then pick it up at those locations.

That could be worked into Mascaro’s next contract.

Huth was authorized to make regular weekly tours of the borough to pinpoint where problems are occurring.

Horner Cemetery

By ED PANY A few weeks ago, I received a telephone call from my friend Peggy Moser. Peggy has led a group of volunteers who are restoring the Horner Cemetery. The historic cemetery is located off Route 329 behind God’s Missionary Church in East Allen Township. Since 2008 they have done extensive research using original documents from the Presbyterian Church Archives Center in Philadelphia. Scotch-Irish settled in the area in 1728, thus becoming the first permanent village in Northampton County. They constructed the Allen Township Presbyterian Church on the site.

The original church was a log structure until a new church was constructed.

The Horner Cemetery Historical Society has repaired tombstones, stonewalls and removed dead trees. What’s in a name?

Jane Horner was killed in an Indian raid in 1763 during the French and Indian Wars. Many of the early settlers were buried there. Some

John Ralston, Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention member, and James Ralston who constructed Fort Ralston during the French and Indian Wars.

Another interesting burial is Jane Ralston, whose husband John was a chaplain with the Northampton militia. He was pastor of the Presbyterian Church installed in 1772. He crossed the Delaware River with Washington’s Army but was captured by the Hessians. Hessian bayonets ended his life. Rev. Rosbrugh was interned in the churchyard of the First Presbyterian Church in Trenton.

The first white man to have settled what is now Northampton, Hugh Wilson, is also among the deceased. Wilson purchased 400 acres from William Allen who was a creditor of the Penn family. He constructed a gristmill on the Hockendauqua creek.

He also built the Wilson Block House during the Indian Wars.

This writer organized many field trips to the historic cemetery when I “attempted” to teach at Northampton Senior High School. Unfortunately, with all the state and federal mandates, very little local history is taught to our students, many know nothing about our local heritage.

Visit the Horner Cemetery if you can! It’s a piece of history where one can contemplate and appreciate our past. If you’re interested, call Peggy or write to Kevin Brown at 2050 Dennis Lane, Bethlehem PA, 18015. They welcome all volunteers. Thanks Peggy for all that you and the group do at Horner.

PennDOT crews out in force to address pothole concerns

submitted by RONALD YOUNG Following a colder-than-average winter and weeks of dramatic temperature swings, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation acting Secretary Leslie S. Richards today advised Pennsylvanians that PennDOT crews are aggressively tackling the growing number of potholes appearing on state-owned roadways.

“We’ve had a rough couple of winters, including repeated rounds of freeze/thaw cycles,” Richards said. “Our road crews are out there working as quickly as possible to address potholes, and we’re asking motorists for help by informing us about where there are roadway concerns.”

In addition to the potholes addressed through continued monitoring by PennDOT crews, more than 3,600 pothole concerns have been reported to PennDOT and nearly 3,500 of those concerns have been addressed since March 1. With Pennsylvania’s aggressive freeze-thaw cycle, roadways will always experience potholes.

PennDOT’s force of nearly 5,000 equipment operators are working vigorously to repair pothole damage on nearly 40,000 miles of state-owned roadway.

“Our men and women are out every day to improve travel for the citizens of Pennsylvania,” Richards said. “We have a mammoth task ahead of us and we’re greeting it head on. But not every pothole can be fixed immediately, especially on lower volume roads.

We simply must prioritize based on the traffic volume of a road.

I ask for patience as we work through making these repairs.”

So far this year, PennDOT has invested more than $17.5 million to repair potholes. To further supplement the department’s efforts, an additional $21.6 million in emergency funds have been released to address pothole repairs statewide. This distribution was possible because Act 89, the state’s transportation funding plan, allowed projects for which emergency funds were being reserved to be scheduled for repairs.

PennDOT crews will work as quickly as they can, but because of the numbers of potholes, it may take some days until the crews can work through the priority lists. PennDOT’s priority is to start with the higher volume roadways, but will work through the entire state-owned road system as soon as possible.

With Pennsylvania’s high levels of traffic, the fifth-largest statemaintained highway network in the country and drastic freezethaw cycle, the potholes that naturally occur on the state’s roadways are exacerbated by colder weather. PennDOT crews across the state have been repairing potholes as weather permits since winter began loosening its grip, though dramatic temperature swings and available materials can affect how long repairs last.

Because of Act 89, nearly 5,000 miles of state roads will see resurfacing and longer-term improvements this year statewide. Without Act 89, roughly 2,700 miles of roads would have seen mostly short-term repairs.

On average over the past five calendar years, PennDOT used nearly 63,000 tons of asphalt a year to repair potholes at an annual cost of more than $31.5 million. Last year, PennDOT used more than 80,000 tons of patching material. So far this

www.HomeNewsPA.com

year, PennDOT has completed more than 24,000 tons worth of asphalt repairs and currently has an additional 25,500 tons of work planned.

Motorists can report potholes and other highway-maintenance concerns on state routes by calling PennDOT’s toll-free hotline at 1-800-FIX-ROAD (1-800349-7623) or by visiting www. dot.state.pa.us and select “Submit Feedback.”

The hotline is staffed between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. After 4:30 p.m., and on weekends and holidays, calls are recorded by a voicemail system.

Motorists are asked to be as specific as possible when providing locations of maintenance concerns. Motorists should report the county, municipality, street name and state route number, which can be found on small black and white signs posted along state highways. In addition, a description of any familiar landmarks would be helpful for PennDOT to locate the problem area.

Maintenance concerns will be corrected as soon as possible.

Emergency road repairs, such as road wash-outs, are handled on a top-priority basis.

The 1-800-FIX-ROAD number should not be used to report traffic accidents, disabled vehicles or other emergencies. Motorists should continue to call 911 to report these types of emergencies.

To learn about how potholes form and how PennDOT addresses them, view the department’s “Pothole Patrol” video on its YouTube page.

“Pieces of History” for May Celebrating Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary From the history committee: • In 1957 the Lackawanna Railroad Company commissioned five tugboats, all named after main stations on the railroad, to be built at the Staten Island Shipyard. One was named the “Nazareth.” It continued to work under several names until it was scrapped in 2011.

• Beginning in the late 1930s there were two Heckman Drug Stores in Nazareth, owned by men who were apparently not related. Paul W. Heckman moved his business to 68 S. Main Street (now the Army Navy Store) in 1937. George H. Heckman moved his business to 15 Belvidere Street in 1935.

• Racing enthusiasts and hopefuls used to gather at Louie Messenlehner’s Sunoco Station at the south end of Main Street (now empty; formerly Ralph Murante’s Citgo) to work on their cars.

Billy Tanzosh, Mario and Aldo Andretti, and others could frequently be found there.

• English evangelist George Whitefield purchased 5,000 acres from Judge William Allen, agent for the Penn Family, on May 3, 1740. The deed included a provision that one red rose should be delivered annually to the Penns as a token of allegiance.

• Until the early 1960s, the Forest Drive area from West Center to High Street was all forest, and it was a popular place to walk for students from the Military Academy and other townsfolk. Forest Drive was approved and opened in 1959 as far as North Street.

• The first product of the Nazareth Waist Company was men’s hosiery (stockings). When they also began to knit underwear garments (called a “waist”) in 1887, two of the partners moved the hosiery line to S. Main Street, beginning the Kraemer Hosiery Company.

• On May 6, 1740 the first three Moravians arrived on the property which would become Nazareth with a request from the property owner, George Whitefield, to choose a site for an orphanage. The orphanage was never founded, but the building is what we know as the Whitefield House.

it that resembled the spokes of a wheel. The chestnut tree at the front of Keystone Park (to the right of the sign) is one of several descendants of the Friendship Tree, now the symbol for Bath Borough. In 1785 George Washington gave two chestnut tree saplings to Col. Robert Brown, who lived just west of Bath, as a symbol of friendship. One of the saplings planted in his yard lived to the ripe old age of 168 and offspring of that friendship tree still survive in and around Bath.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip What a marvelous weather weekend we just had, with the temperature getting up around 80. And it was just the beginning. Even into Monday it was nice and warm. Folks were out in their shorts and just enjoying the springtime that has finally arrived in style. The flowers are blooming wherever you look. It makes you feel good all over to see that. It could stay like this all year long as far as I’m concerned. . . . I hope it stays nice for Mother’s Day this Sunday. . . . And speaking about Mother’s Day, this Saturday oughta be a heap of fun down at Ahart’s Market when folks get a chance to decorate a cake for their moms. Lots of fancy icing with all the love you can put into it. What a great idea! . . . .Loved all those other specials for Mother’s Day that were advertised, too.

I clipped ‘em out and put ‘em in a hat for Elmira to make a choice.

Won’t tell you which one she picked, but she was all smiles afterward. . . . It was nice to read the column by Frank Nace last week

on the Lehigh Valley Men’s Fast Pitch Softball League. It brought back a lotta memories of the old gang and how they loved to battle it out. There’s still a few of the players around, and I’m sure they got a kick out of reading the story. . . .Other teams have taken their place. The Bath Senior Legion team was out on the field looking for players on Saturday, so their season will be going strong again. . . .Lehigh Valley IronPigs are drawing big crowds, but they’ve had their problems like the parent Phillies team this year. Too many walks and not enough hits are a part of their problem. . . .Rt. 512 from Bath and almost a mile north of here got another cleanup on Saturday as the Lions club and members of Boy Scout Troop 33 bent over and picked up litter. Nice job, guys and gals! . . . . The primary election is getting real close, as evidenced by all the posters going up along local roadsides. County Council and judges seem to be the most heated races. . . . Haven’t heard how the turkey hunters have been making out. Eddie Tanczos might know, ‘cause I hear he’s with the local turkey chapter. A bad winter might have affected the big birds. . . . Happy Mother’s Day!!

Two Great Gifts For That Great Giver: Mom (NAPS)—Here are two excellent ideas about what to give the next time you want to get your mother a present—whether for Mother’s Day, her birthday or just to show how much you care.

Considering she probably helped you learn to read, a book or two is likely to be greatly appreciated, especially these: • For love of Mom. From teaching children to tie their shoes, to parallel parking, to outfitting them for their first dance or first day in the dorm room, mothers have been their kids’ chief counselors, cheerleaders, critics, chauffeurs and chefs.

Now, this new book, “For the Love of Mom: Amazing True Stories of Moms and the People Who Love Them” by Maria Bailey, can be a way to pay homage to the special woman who rocked you, raised you, championed you, challenged you and even—at times— exasperated you.

While the experience of motherhood is different for every woman, one thing is universal: It’s almost impossible to fathom the myriad of joys and triumphs encountered on the journey.

Whether the mom in your life became so by giving birth or through the blessings of adoption

Samantha Kronstadt Wins National Poetry Contest

swwwwwwwubmitted by DAVID JOHSON Samantha W. Kronstadt of Nazareth, a graduate student at Kutztown University receiving

her Master of Education specializing in student affairs in higher education at graduation this May, has won the National Career Development Association's

(NCDA) annual poetry contest.

For the contest, NCDA puts out a theme during National Career Development Month each November; this year's theme was "Re-Imagining Your Career: Celebrating First Jobs through Encore Careers."

Kronstadt first entered the contest on the local level at KU. The contest, sponsored by the KU's Career Development Center, also included the option to complete a poster based on the theme, with competitors submitting work in one of two categories: digital/ mixed media or hand-drawn/ painted. Prizes were offered for first, second and third place in each poster category and in the poetry contest.

"I kind of just did it on a whim when I saw the contest online," said Kronstadt. "I looked at it and decided I couldn't do the poster contest because I didn't have the technology or the skill level -- but I thought, maybe I could win the poetry contest."

Having beaten her competitors on the local level, Kronstadt moved on to the state level. Because Pennsylvania doesn't have a state-level competition, she competed in a contest held by NCDA for all states without a state-level contest. Again, Kronstadt's poem moved to the top of the ranks, earning her a place in the national contest, at which she took home top prize. Kronstadt won a certificate from NCDA, display of her poem at NCDA's national conference and on the NCDA website, and a Barnes and Noble gift card.

Kronstadt said that she could personally relate to the theme of this year's contest. She had to endure the transition from learning on the undergraduate level to the graduate level, and switching her career focus from elementary education to student affairs.

She noted that she was inspired by the Dr. Seuss book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" in developing her poem.

"In the book, it talks about how everything is great, and you're successful, and perfect!" said Kronstadt. "And then in the middle of the book it says, well, you're not always going to be successful, and sometimes it's not going to happen, and sometimes you're not going to be happy.

But, there's a way you can get back up to that place."

The Future

By Samantha Kronstadt To re-imagine your career is not an easy feat We're stuck working silly jobs that often are bleak We're lost among the average, just a number, we lose hope Of succeeding in class and work, we barely cope But I'm here to show you something, take a seat, You'll be amazed to know finding your career is indeed an easy feat.

News Sermonette Pastor Robert Hampton We Can Work it Out

Back in 1965, Paul McCartney wrote a song that reflected his desire to preserve his relationship with his then aspiring-actress girlfriend, Jane Asher. If it was going to survive, they needed to compromise. Except that Paul's advice didn't sound much like compromise at all. Paul implored Jane to "see it my way... Think of what I'm saying. We can work it out ". On the contrary according to Paul, if she persisted in "seeing it her way, there's a chance (probability?) that we might fall apart before too long."

Is it just my distorted interpretation here, Sir Paul, or was your own pride and stubbornness the very saboteur of your relationship with Jane? "We can work it out." Yea, if Jane sacrifices her aspirations on the matrimonial altar to accommodate yours.

Evidently Jane didn't listen; or Paul didn't rethink his own counsel. "They didn't work it out" and consequently split in 1968.

It seems that Paul didn't learn anything either, for just 2 years later, he and fellow-Beatle, John Lennon, "didn't work it out", with the split heard 'round the world; only proving something else Paul sang in the heart of this song, "Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend." John Lennon discovered this brevity just one decade later when a crazed gunman pumped four bullets into his back.

The Bible conveys the same message this way: "Your life is but a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away."

"Here today, gone tomorrow." So --- because life is so short, are you (am I) making the best of it? Many would advise, "Eat, Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die." But the majority aren't always correct.

If I could interview Jesus Christ right now, I believe He would say something like this: "Try to see it my way... Think of what I'm saying. For if you try to see it your way, you will fall apart before too long." If Jesus is Whom He claimed to be, the Creator and Redeemer, then we best see it His way. And what is His way? How about precisely what He declared it to be - through Him: "I am the Way. No one ever comes to the Father except through Me." Have you done this? Have you come to God the Father through God the Son? If you have, then your life will be the antithesis to "short". It will be eternal. "God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not (live briefly?) and perish, but have eternal life!"

Northampton Assembly of God

Daniel E. Lundmark, Pastor • 610-262-5645 • pastor@NAOG.ws

One Way?

Is there only one way to heaven or are there many ways? Those who pride themselves in their broadminded acceptance of all religions and lifestyles say there are many ways to heaven. But Jesus Christ warns, “wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

Just how narrow is the way? God narrowed it down to one person— Jesus! He exclusively declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). The Apostles affirmed that Jesus is the only way to heaven—excluding all others!

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The Bible is perfectly clear that there is only “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). See: www.naog.ws/theway.htm for more on this biblical truth.

Jesus is God’s free gift of eternal life: “God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:11-12).

We all need to confess and repent of our sins: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Receiving Jesus: “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12).

Life’s most important choice is whether or not you will believe on Jesus! “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him” (John 3:36).

Focused on Folks 60+ Six Self-Care tips for the sandwich generation A Growing Problem

Today, 47% of American adults are, in some way, caring for and supporting both their kids and aging parents (Pew Research Center). Stated another way, that’s half of our adult population tending to the unique physical, emotional, and financial needs of two vastly different generations— simultaneously.

Caregivers in this situation are members of what has been termed the Sandwich Generation, and are experiencing a problem that will only grow as time goes on. Baby Boomers continue to reach retirement age at a rate of 8,000 per day

Six Crucial Tips for Self-Care

(AARP), and in 15 years, 1 in 5 Americans will be over 65 years old (census.gov). As the population ages, more people will be called on to help their aging parents or other elderly loved ones.

These people have a difficult challenge in front of them, and if it wasn’t already, it becomes truly overwhelming as Mom or Dad’s care needs escalate.

Sandwiched Adults Get Pulled in Many Directions

Below is an example of what we often hear from families as week that I have away from we start to work with them: [caregiving] responsibilities, “On the one or two days a I am torn between spending rare alone time with my husband, visiting with my children and grandchildren, visiting with a close friends, catching up at the office or

with housekeeping at my own house, or running errands such as grocery shopping for Mom. Some time to myself is much needed but where does that fit among all of the necessities above?”

How do we make time for ourselves when those we care for require so much? To help answer that, here are six tips for taking care of yourself when you’re sandwiched between care needs.

1. Make a conscious decision to make more time for yourself. As they say, the first step to solving any problem is to admit you have one. Take an honest look at your situation—are you remembering to make time to care for yourself?

2. Plan ahead. Ideally, that means planning for your parents’ aging well before you reach a point of critical need, but it can also mean investing five minutes to organize and prioritize your day before you head out to conquer it.

3. Live in the moment. Remember, you can’t do everything at once. When you’re with your children, or your spouse, don’t spend your time thinking about Mom or Dad, and vice versa. Being present during your various activities will give you more satisfaction at the end of the day.

4. Lose the guilt. Ideally, you would be there for both your parents and your children at the same time, but don’t feel guilty when you fall short of the impossible. You are only one person, who often has to do three different jobs at once.

5. Ask for help. It’s not fair to anyone to have to do everything on her own, including taking care of all of her loved ones. Find a babysitter to watch the kids a few nights a week, or look into inhome caregivers who can help your parents with their normal daily activities, freeing you to again be a daughter or son rather than just a caregiver.

6. Eat, sleep and exercise. If you’re going to be working hard, your body needs to keep working, too. I personally rely on running for my stress relief. What about you?
