Bath Museum Committee Asks for key Following Mix up
By KERI LINDENMUTH Members of the Bath Museum Committee read a statement aloud to the Bath Borough Council during council’s meeting on Monday, May 6. In their statement, the committee asked that they be granted a single key for access to the Bath Museum, located inside the borough’s municipal building. The request came following a scheduling mix up last month that resulted in the museum being closed on April 20. “One of the conditions Borough Council has imposed upon us is [that] a council member must be present to unlock, babysit, and lock the building,” the committee said in their statement. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman normally opens the museum. However, she was out of town on April 20. She requested that another member of council be present to open the museum. “Four of us were waiting in the parking lot from 10 to 11 a.m. on April 20 and no one came to open the museum,” the statement continued. The museum had to close for the day and post a note on the door. The museum committee estimates that at least six cars and three other visitors were turned away that day. “Look how many people were inconvenienced,” said the committee. The committee had requested a key once before in February in case a member of council was not present to open the museum. However, their request was denied due to liability recommendations from the borough’s insurance company. Council President Mark Saginario took responsibility for the scheduling mix up. He said he had to go into work that morning and did not realize he was Continued on page 2

DARE graduation at Moore Township Elementary School
submitted by MANNY VARKANIS On May 2 the annual DARE graduation was held at the Moore Township Elementary School. DARE essay winners were picked for first, second and third place from each of the four 5th grade classes. There were approximately 105 students in the fifth grade. The DARE program educates students in the prevention of
drug and alcohol use, the effects of drug use on the mind and body, how to use resistance strategies against pressures to use drugs and alcohol and how to deal with bullying in and outside of school. The program is only successful because of the support received from the police department, the staff at the school and the local businesses that financially support it. This year marked Manny
Varkanis’s seventh year of teaching the DARE program at Moore Township Elementary. He would like to give thanks to a few of the businesses in the township that have donated to the program this year: A big thank you to owner of Weddes Auto, Craig Truscott, who has donated the DARE graduation T-shirts for the past seven years. Craig picked out a new American flag graphic on the
T-shirts, which came out awesome and the kids loved them. Thanks to Pizzaville restaurant for donating numerous pizza pies for the DARE party. Thanks to Sunnieside Landscaping and the Lioness Club for their generous monetary donations. Thanks to Giant markets for donating the drinks for the party. Additional pictures on pages 13 & 14.
Opening day held for Bath Allen Youth Club
By CATHERINE STROH The newly merged Bath Allen Youth Club officially kicked off the season on Saturday, May 4 with a fun-filled opening day at Howertown Park. The Bath Allen Youth Club was formed by merging the Allen Township Youth Association with the Bath East Allen Youth Club as a way to spark more interest and grow the sports programs in Allen Township and surrounding areas. Club president Eric Miller
started off the day with opening statements, thanking everyone involved for their hard work and dedication. Bath councilmembers Barry Fenstermaker and Frank Hesch were present to show their support, also in attendance was Mayor of Bath Fiorella Reginelli Mirabito who commended and thanked all of the parents, coaches and volunteers for their efforts in making this dream a reality. Also in attendance were past presidents of the Bath East Allen
President Eric Miller and Diane Donaher.
Youth Club, Jim Beenders and Ed Johnson. Diane Donaher presented a $2,500 Youth Athletic Facility Improvement grant on behalf of the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. With lots of food, activities, a 50/50 raffle, baked goods, vendors, and of course baseball, there was something for every member of the family at this inaugural sea-
son celebration. Additional picture on page 13.

Allen Township discusses Fireworks ordinance By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, April 30, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors discussed a proposed fireworks ordinance that would place regulations on the use of display and residential fireworks. The ordinance follows the State of Pennsylvania lessening restrictions on residential fireworks last year. The proposed ordinance would require a $250 permit for display fireworks, as well as a $50,000 bond. Individuals putting on a professional display will also be required to notify the township’s fire chief. Regulations are also placed on residential fireworks. Since the state has allowed for “higher explosives,” the ordinance would restrict their use to between noon and 10 p.m. While supervisors agreed that the ordinance is needed to contain noise levels, some worried
about the financial burden it would place on residents. Supervisor Dale Hassler wondered whether the $50,000 bond is necessary. He asked whether the ordinance can simply state that the individual be responsible for any damages incurred. Solicitor Lincoln B. Treadwell said there is danger to not having the bond, which is put up in favor of the township. “Who pays for the damage?” he asked, if the individual in charge of the display leaves town. Hassler also worried that the $250 fee is too steep. He cited the township’s burning permit, which requires no fee. “I do not think it is right to nail our residents,” he said. “People are nice enough to put a display on [with licensed technicians].” Supervisor Gary Behler agreed that the fee is “a lot to ask of a private resident.” Supervisors motioned to con-

tinue the hearing during their May 14 meeting, asking the solicitor to explore how much a bond would cost. In other news, supervisors discussed proposed road work for 2019. Willowbrook Road and Savage Road are both scheduled for work. Borough Manager Ilene Eckhart estimates that the road work will cost about $367,000. Funds will be taken from the township’s liquid fuels. Willowbrook Road, said Eckhart, has the “highest volume and the poorest shape.” However, supervisors worried that proposed construction on the county’s Willowbrook bridge would negate the roadwork. “[I am] afraid to work and bridge construction changes the road,” said Supervisor Larry Oberly. “What is the footprint going to be?” Before moving forward, the township plans on speaking with the county about its construction plans.

Councilmembers worry Insurance costs turning Farmers’ market vendors away By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Thursday, May 2, Northampton Borough Council discussed liability insurance placed on farmers’ market vendors. Victor Rodite, former manager of the farmers’ market, told them that the high cost of insurance (about $300) is turning away smaller craft vendors. “No wonder we do not have vendors,” said Councilwoman Judy Kutzler. The insurance is meant to protect the borough should someone get hurt or fall ill from the products sold at the market. While solicitor Steven Goudsouzian acknowledges that the fee is a high price for small vendors to pay, it is necessary to keep the borough protected. Councilman Robert McHale asked whether vendors can sign a “hold harmless agreement.” However, Goudsouzian said if the vendors “cannot afford insurance, [they] cannot afford to indemnify the borough.”
“When you have a vendor who does this for a profit,” he added, “[they] should have insurance.” While some members of council were not pleased with this solution, others said that the issue should not be a council concern. “This is such a small [issue],” said Councilman Tony Pristash. “This is for the farmers’ market, not the borough.” During their meeting, some members of council also voiced concern over rental inspection progress. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler spent some time in the borough office, helping send out inspection notices. “We are never going to get through this if you are not scheduling every day,” she told Code Inspector Keith Knoblach. She said she would like to see the borough’s two part-time inspectors committed to so many hours per week, or add a third worker to their team. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. defended Knoblach.

A code inspector himself, Lopsonzski said sometimes other issues take precedence over inspections, like health concerns. “Any little thing can cause great delay,” he said. The borough has hired a parttime office worker for the summer to help with administration and code work. Council also appointed Kenneth Richard to the Civil Service Commission and to the Zoning Hearing Board.
Cheers on Chestnut Street – a Tribute to Brenda Faye Zellner Submitted by
CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN “As a child, all I wanted to do was draw and ride my bike (not at the same time),” was the first line in the autobiographical sketch Brenda wrote when she was the featured artist at S Seem. Brenda’s family and the merchants of Chestnut Street have put together a special event to commemorate her life and her passions. On Thursday, May 23 from 6 to 8 p.m. Brenda’s art work will be on display at all eight shops on Chestnut Street. Live music performed by her daughter Stacy Zellner along with Mike Morrison from the band “Trick Stacy,” her daughter Kristen Zellner from the band “Shoot the Moon” out of Harrisburg, guitarist Mark Plantier and guitarist and vocalist K.C. Morgans at the Straub Gallery. Many of Brenda’s paintings will be offered up with a silent auction with the proceeds benefiting the Governor Wolf Historical Society and Last Chance Ranch. The paintings in the silent auction will go on display in the eight stores on Sunday, May 19. Silent bidding begins at that time with registration for a bid number occurring at S Seem. The eight stores are: D&S Florist, Steckel House Antiques, S Seem Antiques & Artisans, Blend, Caravan Cigar Company, Sharon’s Historical Clothing, Straub Gallery and Red Wolf Bar & Grill. A list and description of all of the paintings and their location will be available at S Seem Antiques & Artisans. Bidding will end at 8 p.m. on May 23. Red Wolf Bar & Grill will be donating a portion of the proceeds from Coyote Pizza and Cosmo sales (Brenda’s favorites) to the non-profits as well. Brenda’s first painting class was at the Baum School, then later with Clarence Dreisbach. She also enjoyed art classes at Dieruff High School and Kutztown University. Acrylic landscape painting classes with Gene Allen rekindled her passion for painting and she produced over 100 paintings in the last 10 years. Two years ago she and her husband David were in a horrific car accident, which took her life. Her zest and energy for life live on in her paintings.
Cheers on Chestnut – May 23 Memories of my mother, Brenda Faye Zellner by Stacy Rae Zellner
Ever since I was a little girl I remember my mom as an artist. Everything she did was an art. Our house was always a home. She took so much pride in arranging everything in such a way no matter how little we may have had when we were small, it looked beautiful. While we were growing up we saw her make our clothing on a sewing machine and it was the cutest little girl clothing ever, even though we said it was itchy. Mom made Christmas tree ornaments out of a salt dough that were so incredibly detailed! We hang them up every year. Every holiday was filled with memories of her homemade decorations, floral arrangements, incredible food and most of all togetherness. I am a middle school art teacher and in my classroom I have three of my Mom's earliest paintings done while I was in elementary school. Our Mom went to Kutztown University majoring in Fine Art but had to end her pursuit because I was on the way. I talk about them with my students every year. She had a quiet spirit and
wasn't thrilled about big crowds or talking to people she didn't really know, but when you got to know her, that's another story! She had a great wit and a sarcasm that you couldn't deny! Mom was our best friend. As adults living on our own now Kris and I would go home to Mom and Dad's to see these amazing paintings you are looking at tonight. She would tell us stories about where some where from, we would go to different places together and she would photograph spots, she would paint our homes and others. I look around my house and I see my Mom. I see the places we loved, sunrises on the beach and at Christmas even one of Santa going down the chimney. Mom loved animals and nature... more than most people... she would be up early and see the day begin way before most of us are opening our eyes. As you walk the street tonight we hope you get to know Brenda Faye Zellner. We want you to know her through her eyes. We want you to see things the way she saw them, the beauty, the detail and the color of life.
Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Calcium Supplementation Part 2 Continuing our discussion from last time, I want to tell you that some 98 percent of the calcium within the body is stored within bones. That shouldn’t be and probably isn’t a shock to you. In fact, that’s primarily why most everyone is concerned about their calcium levels, as we want to maintain normal bone density as we age. While I agree that bone health is important, I would like to focus your attention on the remaining two percent that is ionized, free floating, or otherwise “bio-available” if you will. It’s important for a whole other reason. Did you know that when you have a fever, the elevated temperature essentially causes a physiological reaction in which stored calcium is activated or liberated from bone and put into the blood stream and tissues of the body? Isn’t that remarkable? I think it is. In case you missed the point, fever releases calcium. This should raise an eyebrow and get you thinking that fevers aren’t a bad thing after all. At least to a point. But why do you think the body would want to free calcium from bone in the first place? Nobody wants osteoporosis. Well the answer lies in part, and get ready for it, that your immune functions rely on ionized calcium to help defend it against antigens aka foreign invaders or bad guys. This blows my mind and I hope you get the significance of this. If you remember nothing else
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
then just commit this to memory: Calcium enhances overall immune function. Said another way, ionized calcium is required by your immune system, specifically with T-Lymphocytes, to locate bacteria, virus, and all the rest. While we see much of this, overall it is poorly understood. This much I know: Forget bone health. If you have very little calcium, you could be much sicker than someone who is well saturated with it. You may be wondering about calcium and cancer. I do believe that with appropriate tissue saturation of calcium you probably will have lower chances of cancer. I’ve read a bunch of correlations between calcium and apoptosis (otherwise known as “planned cell destruction” in which the immune systems does away with certain cells that need to be recycled, for lack of a better term). While you can find any study to support anything you want to be true, I do feel you would be mistaken not to take calcium daily if you have or have had cancer of any type. So what about studies that say

too much calcium in the blood is not good as it could form the basis for plaguing and hardening on the arteries? Ladies and gentlemen, if this is your thinking, then you’ve missed the point. As in our last article, we discussed, albeit briefly, how calcium is ingested, then absorbed via the small intestine into the blood and then it needs to cross out of the blood into tissues whether that’s bone, fluids, lymph nodes or otherwise. So if calcium just stays in the blood it truly isn’t “in the body” and yes, I don’t think that’s good. Neither is sugar a good thing, surfing around in blood and unable to go where it needs to. Get my point? I’ve read that it is more common for older adults who lack tissue calcium to suffer with various illnesses more so than those who are appropriately saturated. I guess you could find any study to prove or disprove much these days. However from my perspective, it would be foolish to not utilize such a significant immune system modulator as calcium lactate. A few closing points: I know the recommended dose is 1200 mg yet I’ve read that only about 500 mg is truly capable of absorbing in one sitting. Additionally, I recommend using powdered calcium lactate in a glass of water and sip through the day. I do feel you need to get your vitamin D levels to about 80 on blood work. And to get the calcium out of blood into the tissue, I would perhaps recommend healthy oil intake like coconut, flax, olive, and others. With all this said, there of course is more to it. However, do not minimize that the biggest immune system enhancer is something very simple and not very expensive. My best to you.

On Sunday at 1:30 and 2:30 p.m., stop by the front of the J. Joseph Henry House for a speech by John Adams provided by the Bachmann Players. With over 40 years of experience in Living History, the 6th Pennsylvania Regiment represents the unit as it would have looked during the Philadelphia Campaign in the fall of 1777. Until sometime in 1778, the 6th Pennsylvania was uniformed in brown coats faced in red. The First Pennsylvania Regiment offers historically accurate recreations of the life and times of the Revolutionary War Soldier, in the uniform of Gen. George Washington's Pennsylvania Riflemen of 1775-1777. The Jacobsburg Historical Society is the home of the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum which contains a substantial collection of original, hand-crafted Pennsylvania longrifles and items related to the making of longrifles from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

features more than 100 historic arms on display and is currently featuring an impressive 18th c. Horn Object Collection on loan from Tim and Terri Lubenesky along with new displays of Henry family artifacts including some of their personal firearms. The Longrifle Museum itself is housed in the historic Henry Homestead, which was initially a log cabin in which the workers who built Boulton in 1812 lived. The Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum and our Museum Gift Shop will be open for tours on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other buildings on the Boulton Historic Site include the 1832 J. Joseph Henry House, an ambitious Philadelphia townhouse built on the Bushkill Creek. Five generations of the Henry family lived in this home from 1832 to 1989, filling it with musical instruments, books, tools, paintings, furniture, and numerous other personal belongings. The J.J. Henry House currently features a marvelous exhibit of Henry family clothing. Many of the outfits have been in storage for more than 100 years. This exContinued on page 6

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Up and down weather this week, but hot on Tuesday. As I said, it’s a great time of year, so be happy and enjoy it. It did rain pretty much in Bethlehem, where the Monocacy Creek overflowed its banks, but no real damage. . . .Looked like the kids caught some of those big trout in Bath’s fishing contest. A good time was had by all. Thanks again to the Bath Area Fish Committee for all they do. Congrats to all the prize winners! . . .The Bethlehem Steel Martin Tower building is about ready to hit the dust, I’m not sure when, but it’s sure to be a big implosion. . . .Congrats to Pastor Wetzel on receiving that big Lions award. He’s busy getting the gang ready for their Applebee’s pancake breakfast. Marvin Werkheiser still likes the way it was done when the Lions had their own down at the firemen’s social hall, but some tell him it was too much work. Even in his 90’s he doesn’t mind it. . . . My condolences to Eileen Applegate at the passing of Rodney. . . .Bath’s Farmers Market should be opening soon as we get well into May. I see they’ve opened already in Nazareth. . . .Wish the Phillies well as they embark on a long road trip, 24 games in 27 days. They’re 1-1/2 ahead in first place as this is written, but the first games they play are against those tough Cardinals and their terrific catcher, Yadier Molina. You gotta watch for the long ball against that guy. . . .Bath Lutheran will be getting a trophy on May 18 when the Suburban dart league has its annual dinner at Dryland UCC Church over at Newburg. Not the Bath UCC church. They won one last year. . . . I see the
Greater Bath Area Chamber of Commerce had a panel discussion over at Northampton High School about the dangers of socalled opioids. I never heard of them until the last couple years, but it must be addictive. Now there’s a big push in the states for legalizing medical marijuana. Police always arrested people if they found a small amount of marijuana. What’s the difference? Seems to me it’s just as bad, one way or the other. I don’t know what this world is coming to. . . . Doug and Linda Sheriff of Bushkill Center Rd., Nazareth gave a seminar on Angel 34 at the recent Lions convention, Ye Ed tells me, and it was about childhood cancer and how it affects families so much. It’s devastating for the child to be stricken with any form of cancer. Their late daughter Nicole started the organization after she became ill. . . . Lots of places serving dinner or having breakfasts this weekend for Mother’s Day. Actually, Mother’s Day usta be celebrated on May 14, but the men will do the cooking and serving breakfast Sunday morning at the UCC church in town.

Emrick Applauds Support for Local senior Center Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE
Here’s proof of truth in advertising – the commercial that states “the Pennsylvania Lottery benefits older Pennsylvanians” is true. The Slate Belt Senior Center is receiving a more than $112,000 grant, according to state Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton). “Pennsylvania’s senior centers provide a myriad of services for our citizens throughout the day,” he said. “I’m glad to see the center in Bangor is receiving the 2ndlargest of the nearly 50 grants being distributed statewide.” The Pennsylvania Department of Aging is distributing the grants, which are funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery. The Slate
TRACY POLOVICK Earlier last week, the governor signed into law legislation authored by Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/Northampton) to require municipal authorities to create additional financial protections when collecting money. “I’m thrilled that my first bill signed into law is this one,” Mako said. “It is vitally important that we have accountability in government. This new law will allow water and sewer customers to know that their hard-earned money is used as intended. Unfortunately, too many times we have seen cases where illegal activity has occurred in our society.” Act 4 of 2019 makes municipal authorities remove any individual names from municipal accounts, creates a standardized procedure for the handling of an authority’s funds, and requires annual audits and fiscal reports to be presented to the authority board. Most of the law goes into effect in 90 days. The reporting component goes into effect in 180 days. The 183rd District includes South Whitehall (part), Washington and Whitehall (part) townships and Slatington Borough in Lehigh County. It also consists of Allen, Lehigh and Moore (part) townships, and North Catasauqua, Northampton and Walnutport boroughs in Northampton County.

What is a Slacker?
By CAROL RITTER How was your day? Busy. Can you talk today? No, I’m too busy. How about we do lunch? Not for at least three weeks, I’m busy. Have you ever heard anyone say, “I’m a slacker and I did three hours of work today?” You have to wonder if we are all that busy or if we use that word as an excuse to run from others and look like we are keeping up the “I’m busy” reputation. So, how would we describe a slacker? Webster says it’s a person who shirks work or obligation or someone who lacks ambition. Do you know anyone like that? I was with a friend this week and he said, “My wife is just plain lazy. She comes home from work and takes a nap, then she gets up, eats dinner and watches TV all night.” I guess if we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, maybe it’s physical, maybe she’s overweight or just seriously tired. How do employees disguise slacking at work? The Magician - they conveniently disappear when the real work needs to be done. The Victim - better known as “I have an excuse for everything.” The Famous Procrastinator waits until the last minute, not very useful on a team, they slow everyone down. The Rabble-Rouser - spends more time causing trouble than working. A slacker brings down employee morale, acts like a contagious disease, and can cause havoc on an employer. They are the hardest people to deal with because they are not really breaking any rules. These behaviors are insidious and many times not recognizable so it takes a long time to identify. When it comes to solutions, there is only one. Document everything, try to help the employee, the behavior will more than likely not change, then it’s time to part ways. Do you know a slacker?

Song Stirred Memories of Mother Ira D. Sankey was traveling by steamboat up the Delaware River when he was asked to sing. He sang the “Shepherd Song” after which a man with a rough, weather-beaten face came up to him and said: “Did you ever serve in the Union Army?” “Yes,” answered Mr. Sankey, “in the spring of 1860.” “Can you remember if you were doing picket duty on a bright moonlight night in 1862?” “Yes,” answered Mr. Sankey, very much surprised. “So did I,” said the stranger, “but I was serving in the Confederate army. When I saw you standing at your post I said to myself: ‘That fellow will never get away from here alive.’ I raised my musket and took aim. I was standing in the shadow completely concealed, while the full light of the moon was falling upon you. At that instant, just as a moment ago, you raised your eyes to heaven and began to sing. Music, especially song, has always had a wonderful power over me, and I took my finger off the trigger. ‘Let him sing his song to the end,’ I said to myself. ‘I can shoot him afterwards. He’s my victim at all events, and my bullet cannot miss him.’ But the song you sang then was the song you sang just now. I heard the words perfectly: ‘We are Thine, do Thou befriend us, Be the guardian of our way.’ Those words stirred up many memories in my heart. I began to think of my childhood and my God-fearing mother. She had many, many times sung that song to me. But she died all too soon, otherwise much in my life would no doubt have been different.” “When you had finished your song it was impossible for me to take aim at you again. I thought: ‘The Lord who is able to save that man from certain death must surely be great and mighty’ and my arm of its own accord dropped limp at my side.” -Religious Digest

Our best friends have hairy legs! Why does my dog growl at some people and Not others? by Dr. Kathryn Primm Dogs are always alert when someone new arrives on the scene. Your dog notices new people immediately, but sometimes he growls at them and sometimes he doesn’t. His growl might indicate aggression, defensiveness or just plain anxiety. Why does he have different reactions to people? Does he know something about them that you don’t? No one can sum up all dogs’ reactions and definitely, each case is unique, but we can look at the way dogs perceive their world and maybe gain some insight into this interesting question.
1. People smell.
People have different scents to dogs. Dogs are much better at smelling than humans, in
fact they are 10,000-100,000 times better.1 Because of this disparity, we cannot imagine all the information that our dogs can gain from someone’s scent. Amazingly, trained scent dogs can even distinguish between the scents of identical twins from the same environment and eating the same diet.² A dog can smell where you have been and who you have been with, maybe for a long time. Your dog may smell something so subtle on one person that causes him to growl that your human nose would never notice. It doesn’t have to be a concern to you. Your dog might perceive something that he has learned to associate negatively, like a strange dog or the smell of another dog’s fear. All dogs are products of their own experienc-

es and since they cannot tell us about those experiences, we can only guess.
2. Some people Just look Shady.
Some people look frightening to certain dogs. Dogs depend on their vision less than their sense of smell, but still to a significant degree. Dogs use facial recognition to communicate with each other and human beings may not see facial features in the same way as dogs. When your dog growls at one person and not another, it might be that he sees a feature that is reminiscent of a threat to him in his memory. People also differ in size, features, and the way they move. Certain people’s features or movement style may remind your dog of a threat or even seem unfamiliar to your dog, so he feels afraid and insecure. We know that even familiar humans can seem threatening to dogs if they move suddenly or wear a hat.
3. You can help Your dog learn About people.
If you know that the person that your dog is growling at has good intentions, try to
teach your dog not to feel defensive or protective around him/her. Arm him/her with a pocket full of your dog’s favorite treats. Make sure your dog has trained behaviors that he knows will elicit a good response from you, like sitting on command. Repeat this training so often that your dog knows what to do without really having to think about it. Then when the newcomer approach-

es, ask your dog to perform the trained behavior and reward it. Then have your friend ask and reward also. Don’t doubt the person’s character however, just because your dog initially growls. It probably just means that they smell like something that your dog is unsure about and you can build his confidence through training and reward.
