Plenty of costumes and candy At the Bath Firefighters Halloween Parade
by KERI LINDENMUTH Residents of the Borough of Bath lined Main and Chestnut Streets to enjoy a Halloween tradition. The Bath Firefighters Halloween Parade was held on Tuesday, October 23 and was led by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Bethlehem Mounted Police, and Little Miss Strawberry, Nora Yost, sitting alongside Mayor Fiorella Mirabito in a horsedrawn carriage straight out of a fairy tale. The Bath Firefighters showed off their fire engines and invited other local municipalities, like East Allen Township, Bushkill Township, Lehigh Township, and Nazareth to join in. The fire engines showed off their flashing lights, but kept their sirens quiet, much to the appreciation of parents of young children lining the
parade route. The Northampton Area High School Big N Band and Northampton Area Middle School Band both performed, while several floats carrying Moore Township Redhawks led parade goers in cheers. Area businesses, like Hayes Flowers and Bruce Seamless Gutters, showed off extravagant and eerie floats. HanoverView Animal Hospital brought its costumed four-legged friends to the parade. The Shriners also made an appearance, zooming their famous Tin Lizzies around Main Street. Children also got to wave hello to some familiar faces, including Princess Belle, Mr. Fredricksen from Up, and even Santa Clause himself, all ready to welcome in the holiday season.
by JOE KORBA The October 23 Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting opened with a short discussion of the Cherryville intersection in the township. Solicitor David Backenstoe said that he spoke to representatives from Turkey Hill along with their attorney. According to Backenstoe Turkey Hill is going to resubmit a plan for the intersection to the township, get it cleared with zoning and purchase the property adjacent to their existing store and gas station. He said they are willing to install curbing and a sidewalk but are removing the car wash from the plans for their expansion because of logistics issues. The ongoing and sometimes contentious maintenance building was the topic of discussion, once again, for a good portion of the meeting. The project, coming in at an approximate price tag of 4.5 million, is a new building for the borough road crew and office staff. It will allow them to store
equipment indoors and give the workers an area to service their vehicles. Supervisor Keith Hantz, a member of the building committee and an advocate for the plans the committee developed, made a motion to move forward with the design Watkins Architect, Ltd., a firm based in Fleetwood, came up with for the building committee. The board responded with a slew of questions about the design and the building itself. Chairman Daryl Snover was curious if the architect’s fee of 7 percent, which seemed high to him for a simple block building, could be negotiated down. Hantz didn’t think it was feasible to try to get a lower fee. “He [the architect] should come in and explain 7 percent on a rectangle,” Snover said referring to the shape of the proposed building. Snover also expressed reservations about raising taxes because of the need to pay for other expenses like the MS4 unfunded state environmental mandate that was handed to municipalities this year. “It’s not ‘how
are we going to pay for the building,’ but ‘how are we going to pay for the MS4’,” he said. “I guess I was the only one who knew we were going to have to raise taxes,” Hantz replied. Supervisor Cindy Miller wasn’t comfortable without more answers and details from the building committee. “We asked the committee 20 questions and were told that they didn’t know the answers,” she said. “I’m concerned about the lackadaisical attitude this board has towards raising taxes. It is our responsibility to be fiscally responsible for this community,” Miller continued. Hantz’s motion to move forward with the design died because of the lack of someone seconding it. However, a motion made by Supervisor Mike Jones to research securing funding for the building at a locked-in rate was seconded and passed. The next Lehigh Township Supervisors meeting will be on November 13 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building.
Cement worker of the month Ronald Silfies
by ED PANY Mr. Ronald Silfies was born in Chapman Quarry, graduating from Northampton High School and Vo-Tech in 1972. He recalls, “I had good teachers at both schools, at tech I completed the Drafting Blue Print class.” Ron was hired at Keystone in 1974 by manager Steve Hayden Sr. to work on the labor gang at a rate of $4.10 an hour. His grandfather and father were also Keystone employees. Always interested in electricity, he joined the electrical department saying, “Both my supervisor Normal Clauser and Harold Newton shared their vast electrical knowledge with me. When a new kiln was added many years ago, Mr. Clauser slept at the plant for two weeks until the job was completed.” “There has been tremendous changes in the electrical equipment over the years. Large control cabinets have been replaced by computer control systems. Various

monitors aid in solving problems in a more rapid manner.” Today, Mr. Silfies works with a nine-member team supervised by Herb Heimbach. The members are all classified as electronic technicians. Mr. Silfies said, “There is always a new adventure, new problems and challenges; each work day is different. Our team works together and supports each other when problems arise.” Presently, Ron works on environmental instrumentation.
This requires exacting standards in order to pass all government regulations. He has climbed the tall plant stack on many occasions Continued on page 2

to check monitoring probes. Ron feels it’s easier to work on equipment at the new plant compound to the old facility. Truly dedicated, he retired after 44 and a half years of service on August 31. Ron Silfies is a friendly man with a positive attitude. With pride he said, “My time at the plant has gone fast. I am proud of the company and its work with the community,
proud to be a cement worker.” He served as Union president for many years with the old United Cement Lime and Gypsum workers. For 40 years Ron has also owned Sparks Electric, serving many local customers and is a member of the Moore Township Lions Club. He has been married to the former Lucille Dornbach for over 42 years. They are proud of sons Eric, a Keystone employee, and Brian, a computer technician. They reside in Moore Township. We wish Mr. Silfies a healthy and happy retirement.

Punched copper in the eaves of the dormers and in the cantilevered pediment over the side door can be seen. The owners created the stained glass for the heightened front door. The owners also added a studio featuring cathedral ceiling, skylights, beamed ceiling and a huge stone fireplace.

Recover or Don’t
By CAROL RITTER I failed. Oh no, it’s the end of my life. How will I ever recover? Where will I go from here? So many times failure seems to be the end of one’s world, but is it? One of the most common, famous failure stories is the great Babe Ruth. He had 1300 career strikeouts and only 714 career home runs. The Bambino had almost twice as many strikeouts as home runs. Also, did you know that wellknown Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had his recipe rejected 1000 times before he was able to create his fried chicken? And then there was Oprah Winfrey, who was fired as a reporter at the beginning of her career. Today she is worth over 2 billion dollars and she is known as the “queen of daytime talk TV.” Don’t forget the billionaire Warren Buffet; one of his failures was being rejected by Harvard University. I always believed when I was raising my children that teaching them how to recover was possibly the best lesson they could learn. Everyone fails, everyone makes mistakes, but there are two very

clear issues that affect how one will proceed. 1. The way others around you or those you work with respond to the failure. Do they understand, are they willing to help you find your way and teach you why this happened? 2. No matter how you are treated, you have to find strategies for recovery - get up and try it again, ask for help, try it a different way, think about why it happened and how to prevent it.

The Robins in Autumn
by Charles McIlhaney, Jr. The robins arrived in spring, Welcomed with celebration, As we listened to them sing “Spring is here!” to our ovation. Now, they scarcely alight to ground, And only cackle in the trees Of plans to get out of town, Having filled their summer’s lease. Humbled by the spring affair, They modestly stay out of sight. Leaving us with winter to bear, They slip away by cover of night.

Why God Permits Evil
A minister and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums. Said the barber to the preacher, “This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other charaterdestroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things.” The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkempt and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck, and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister, “You can’t be a very good barber or you wouldn’t permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut or a shave.” Indignantly the barber answered, “Why blame me for that man’s condition? I can’t help it that he is like that! He has never given me a chance to help him. If he would only come to my shop, I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!” Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said, “Then don’t blame God for allowing these people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved. The reason these people are slaves to sin and evil habits is because they refuse the One Who died to save and deliver them.” The barber saw the point. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Have you responded to His invitation?

Secretary of State urges voters to know Their rights at the polls Submitted by WANDA MURREN Acting Secretary of State Robert Torres today encouraged Pennsylvania voters to educate themselves about their rights before they go to the polls on November 6. “Voters enjoy certain protections under state and federal law as they carry out their constitutional right to vote,” Secretary Torres said. “They should be aware of those rights.” Here are some important tips regarding voter rights in Pennsyl-
vania: Only first-time voters, or those voting for the first time in a new precinct, must show ID. Acceptable ID includes both photo and non-photo ID. Registered firsttime voters who do not bring ID to the polls can return with identification or must be offered a provisional ballot. If a voter’s name is not in the poll book, poll workers should call the County Board of Elections to see if the voter’s name was left out of the poll book inadvertently. Registered voters who

are in the wrong precinct polling place should go to the correct polling place to vote. A voter who believes he or she is registered in the precinct and should be listed in the poll book may cast a provisional ballot. Voters who have moved within Pennsylvania, but did not update their address in time before the election, may vote one more time in their previous precinct, as long as they update their address at the polling place. If 50 percent or more of the voting machines at a polling place are not working, voters have the right to use an emergency paper ballot. Poll workers should immediately offer the ballots, but if they do not, voters should request one instead of leaving without voting. If a voter is challenged on the basis of identity or residency, the voter may vote normally by signing a challenge affidavit and producing a witness who is also a registered voter in the precinct to vouch for them. If the voter cannot or does not want to produce a witness, the voter may cast a provisional ballot. Voters have the right to assistance at the polling place, including foreign language or literacy assistance. A voter may select any person to assist as long as the person is not their employer, union representative or the Judge of Elections. Voters do not need to be designated as “assistance permitted” in the poll book to receive help. A person who wants assistance will be asked to sign an Assistance Declaration at the precinct, unless the poll book already indicates, “assistance permitted.” Voters have the right to refuse assistance. Voters have the right to vote without being subjected to intimidation, harassment or discriminatory conduct (PDF). A voter who experiences intimidation should report it to the County Board of Elections and the District Attorney’s office. Voters can also call the Department of State at 1-877-VOTESPA (1-877868-3772) or the U.S. Department of Justice’s Voting Section at 1-800-253-3931.
