Mayor Mirabito named Mayor of Year at G.L.V.C.C. reception
Bath Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter. By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The ninth annual Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Mayors’ and Municipal Officers’ Reception was held on Tuesday night at Steel Stacks in Bethlehem. Sixteen mayors were on hand and the Chamber honored Bath’s Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito as its Mayor of the Year. She received the award based on good government practices, leadership and support of the business community. The first-time mayor thankfully accepted the award with tears of emotion.
A breast cancer survivor, she organized a month-long series of fundraisers in October designed to “Turn Bath Pink” to benefit the American Cancer Society in their effort for cancer research. Mayor Mirabito, with her husband, Emanuel “Manny” Mirabito, have owned and operated My Place Pizza restaurant in Bath for more than 25 years. The reception also included a taping of an upcoming “Business Matters” show, which aired Monday evening on WFMZ-TV Channel 69. The show featured a 25-minute question and

answer session between the audience of some 250 people and Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter and Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski on topics such as education funding, good jobs, and the need to lobby lawmakers in Harrisburg for reforms, notably in pension and education funding, along with balanced budgets. Nutter, in his second term as mayor in the City of Brotherly Love, said Philadelphia is rebounding economically. He also commented, “Mayors matter. The things we do affect people’s lives every day.”
NCC-PASR Focuses on Service
Submitted by RUBY IFKOWTIZ Service was the unofficial theme of the October luncheon of NCC-PASR (Northampton County Chapter – PA Association of School Retirees). Some of the presentations were expected; the others were definite surprises. Barbara Rasely received the only expected award, the John Dillon Service Award. This award can be presented each year to a chapter member in recognition of that person’s outstanding service. The Executive Committee selected Barbara because of her years of dedicated, efficient, prompt, and accurate service as the chapter’s secretary. Barbara participates in other community activities as well. Desiree DeNicola received the other annual award, Volunteer of the Year, because she had the highest number of volunteer service hours from those who submitted a service record. Her major activity is portraying The Cat in the Hat at many schools and for various community organizations on or around the annual celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday. Linda Stubits, Community Service chairperson and the presenter of that award, also showed attendees the Little Red Wagon and plaque given to the chapter by NRTA (National Retired Teachers’ Association). This group presents awards annually through its With Our Youth campaign to honor groups that have had a tremendous impact on young people. NCC-PASR was one of three recipients in Pennsylvania selected from over 3,000 applications. Its primary programs are collecting books for Continued on page 2

Misericordia University Relay For Life Former Home News intern,
Christine Zopf is participating in Misericordia University’s Relay for Life as a team captain and Relay Committee Member. She has set an individual goal to fundraise $300 and her team has set a goal to raise $1,000. Misericordia’s fundraising goal is $33,000 for the event being held on Friday, April 17, 2015. 2015 marks the 30th anniversary of the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. Last year, Misericordia raised approximately $30,000 for the American Cancer Society and had over 700 participants at their event. If you would like to help Christine and her team meet their goal and finish the fight against cancer, you can make a donation at http://main.acsevents.org/goto/christinezopf Pictured are (left to right) Ruby Ifkowitz, JoAnn Bailey, Desiree DeNicola, Shirley Koch, and Barbara Rasely. – Contributed photo

Easton’s Cops ‘n’ Kids program and collecting non-perishable food items – as well as pet food – to be donated to local food banks. Region Director Tom Schmoyer surprised JoAnn
Bailey with a special PASR commendation for her many years of service to both the chapter and the state organization. JoAnn held numerous offices at the local level before going on to provide service in various capacities at the region and state levels and can still be counted on to work on
any project. Schmoyer also presented chapter president Ruby Ifkowitz with a PASR commendation for her service as an officer over the last six years. She also accepted a PASR certificate from Phyllis Seems, Region President-Elect, in commemoration of the chapter’s 50th anniversary.
Everyone enjoyed the special dessert, birthday cakes in honor of Shirley Koch’s 90th birthday. Shirley too has held many chapter positions over the last two decades. In addition she’s very active with her church as well as helping friends and neighbors with everyday needs. What an example she sets.

Letters from our Readers Sincere thanks to Bob Casey, for his work within the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Casey’s transparent stupidity, helped to usher in “ObamaCare”. Wait… What? It’s true, considering that last year, Jonathan Gruber, an Obamacare (ACA) architect was recorded to say,“You can’t [implement the bill] political-
ly, you just literally cannot do it. Transparent financing and also transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure [the Congressional Budget Office] did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. OK, so it’s written to do that. In terms of riskrated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed.”
BIG
November 20-26, 2014 3
Bob Casey took the bait, voted to pass the bill, and then, proudly said in an interview, “Progress on passing this legislation has met intense partisan opposition”, adding, “Special interests and the Republican leadership in the Senate have used misinformation, organized opposition and every procedural tactic to prevent providing these benefits to the American people.” Continued on page 4

Natural Perspectives
For the Health-Minded Individual
Dr. Glenn Clearie DC www.drclearie.com
Why Do You Think That If it is one thing that all these years of life and practice has taught me is that each person is so unique in respect to their God given gifts, talents……..and DNA. Add to it other factors such as environment, learned belief, behavior, and age to name a few and it is easy to see how not one single person on this planet is exactly the same. Along with each “uniqueness” is the developed perspective that each have. I have never been one to judge since my natural perspective has been a bit “outside the norm” since I was very young. Hence, now I am a chiropractor! Candidly however, I will often ask an individual when they state their adamant suppositions, “Why do you think that?” The answer is always interesting. Oftentimes, the individual is momentarily taken aback as you can almost see them digging back into the deep recesses of their brains and are thinking about why they truly think the way they do on the matter. In the clinical and health aspects, it is almost entertaining to find out their answers. Let me explain by first asking a simple question. Do you believe that you need to be on blood pressure medications and/or cholesterol medications every day for the rest of your life? If you answered yes, “why do you think that?” “Because my medical doctor, the pharmacist, the television ads told me” is not an acceptable enough answer. The answer should perhaps be that “I have reviewed the relevant information and I have confirmed that this is the right decision for me.” Truly we spend more time picking out a suit, researching a vehicle, and making vacation plans than we do to figuring out if we should be taking medications. I cannot tell you how often patients will ask me, with significant concern, if a supplement or healthy eating, will harm them, interact, interfere, etc. with their body, their situation or their drugs. Shouldn’t a greater emphasis be placed on finding out how to create a healthier body without the use, or minimal use, of drugs? How have we arrived at the place and time when taking drugs is now the new normal? Because this is the world we now live in, every recommendation I make is followed by a written disclaimer that you need to speak with your medical doctor before starting or stopping a nutritional program, exercise regimen, and anything else that may require legal protection. Yes, ladies and gentleman, if you have a decision to make about whether or not to take a walk, eat vegetables, expose yourself to the environment, or blow your nose; rest assured we should probably seek another person’s perspective and approval. Not too long ago I was aghast at a significant decline in a person’s health that I hadn’t interacted with in almost a year. This individual had lost considerable weight and was clearly deteriorating. She related that she eats cereal three times per day. I asked if she has been eating vegetables and she almost rebuked me as she cannot “because green leafy vegetables would interact with her medications.” When I asked her why she thinks that eating good food would harm her she stated “I am just doing what I am told.” What she was told is killing her.

Now truth being told, special interest, democrats, organized labor, low information (stupid) voters and (stupid) senators who pass bills to know what’s in them, was responsible for this fiasco. While the TEA Party pushed back, the administration of transparency turned the IRS on us without a smidgeon of truth or justice. Speaking of transparency, Gruber also said, “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage, and basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.” Now, let’s be fair... It wasn’t stupid American Voters who voted this bill, it was those who the stupid voter put in to congress. In the Lehigh Valley, that would be Bob Casey. Well Senator, it came down to transparency and stupidity. The Mid-Term Election makes clear (transparency), your politics are wrong (stupid). Had you listened, you would be free and clear of this horrible blemish to your name. I just can’t wait for the day that “stupid” is kicked out of the America. Lord Willing, the last six years has begun to accomplish just that! If that’s the case, Congratulations Senator! Us informed voters spoke our minds November 4th. We’ll be back, join us.

Police Blotter Trespass and Harassment in Bath
On November 11 around 11:50 a.m., Colonial Regional Police Department responded to Greenfield Apartments on Wolf St. in Bath regarding a trespass and harassment incident. A verbal argument led to pushing and hair pulling when a woman refused to leave another woman’s residence. Both females are Bath residents.

7 Things to Look for When Interviewing
•When asking questions, watch body language and facial expressions. •When you ask a question, do they answer the question or do they do the ‘I’m not going to answer dance’? •Do they have an interest in learning about your business? •Does their personality match the job? •Can they survive in an ever-changing business environment? •Can they bring more than just their skills to the job, can they bring customers, resources and ideas?

I had the pleasure of hearing Mayor Nutter from Philadelphia speak at the annual Mayor’s Dinner hosted by the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce last week. When listening to someone of that magnitude, you have to get past being star struck and listen carefully to the meat of the interview. Here’s what I heard.... Education and jobs, you can’t have one without the other. I’ve been in public office and I’ve been working for public education for years and his remedies seemed not only realistic but also attainable. Mayor Nutter is fighting for children so that every child in Philadelphia receives a fair education. He’s fighting for jobs because without education, jobs become unattainable. Do you need to hire someone? Are you looking for the
I have to admit, I was a little star struck by Mayor Nutter. Maybe it’s because he had a wonderful delivery and his message was so relevant and perfectly delivered. You may have heard, Bath Mayor, Fiorella Mirabito was named Mayor of the Year at this event, congrats Mayor Fi, well deserved. Carol S. Ritter • 610-442-4545 www.caroltalks.com

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip We had our first snow on Thursday, about a half inch or so, just enough to cover the grass and rooftops, and not so much that it caused any driving problems. Rains on Monday during the day brought a big dip in temperatures that night into Tuesday, and it doesn’t figure to go much higher the rest of this week, so it’s winter coat weather I reckon, even though it’s fall for a while yet. . . .It’s about as cold as those Philadelphia Eagles were on Sunday. They didn’t expect to win, but that was really bad against those Green Bay Packers. . . . I hear Rev. Fran Merkel was back in town on Sunday for a ceremony at the U.C.C. church. She had her mom with her, too, so she didn’t stay to play pinochle on game night. But it was good to see her again. She changed a lotta things around here with her ministry in the nine years she was in Bath. I hear it’s her birthday this Sunday the 23rd , so happy birthday to her, too. . . . Marty Beal spent some time fishing for steelhead trout up in New York State last week, I hear, but didn’t get the lowdown on how he made out. Did hear though that the salmon were running better than when “Bear” Gradwohl went fishing for ‘em earlier. . . . Latest lows in gas price are $2.89 over at the Kopper Penny Shell near Howertown, $2.87 at East Lawn 7-Eleven, and $2.88 at Stockertown Valero. . . .Lots of digging over at the Wells Fargo bank the past week, so the drive through teller is closed off for now. . . .With Thanksgiving next Thursday, look for the Bath Lions to be decorating the tree down at Monocacy Creek Park soon after, in time for the lighting ceremony on Sunday, the 30th. I hear there are new lights and new decorations for it this year. . . .The tree lighting over in Northampton is the same night, but Nazareth’s is on Thursday, December 4th. . . .Ticket booklets went on sale last Saturday for the historical society’s annual Christmas house tour, which will be coming up real soon on December 5th and 6th. I hear they’re gonna run a bus again this year, I think on Friday. Better check that out if it is then. There will be some houses over in Schnecksville this year on the tour. . . . Another sign of the Christmas season coming on real fast is a note I saw that the Bath Fire-
fighters will be having their fifth annual Santa run, when they collect gifts for the kiddies. The firemen do it over in Northampton, too. . . . The year sure is going fast. I think I’ll have some hot chocolate or hot cider with Elmira, and put up my feet next to the potbelly stove and relax before all this excitement really gets underway. Have a great week, gang!

by TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home New Sportss
After a disappointing showing on the team’s road trip to start the month, The Lehigh Valley Phantoms (6-6-1-0) appeared to get things back on
track in their return to home ice last Saturday night – a 3-2 win over the Toronto Marlies – but forward Andrew Gordon said after the game that it wasn’t something he’d hang his hat on at the end of the night. “Obviously the end result is two points, but gee that’s an ugly way to win the game,” Gordon said, referencing the final 1:33 of Saturday’s game – a six-on-three penalty kill with the Phantoms clinging to a one-goal lead. “We still have a lot of work to do,” the Phantoms assistant captain added, mentioning that defensively the play away from the puck needs to
get better to put themselves in better situations offensively. Fortunately for the Phantoms on Saturday night, they got some timely saves by goalContinued on page 12

Overflowing With Thanksgiving
The lives of Christians should be overflowing with thanksgiving according to Colossians 2:6-7, “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.” The Greek word for “abounding” means “to superabound, to be in excess over and above—overflowing.” Christians should be overflowing with thanksgiving! We should be, “Giving thanks always for all things unto God” (Ephesians 5:20). We are commanded, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). God has given us innumerable spiritual and material blessings for which our hearts should be overflowing with thanksgiving. Even if we had nothing materially for which we could thank Him, we still deeply owe the Lord thanks for providing our salvation! Some years ago during the Thanksgiving season I was expressing thanks to the Lord. My heart was overflowing with thanksgiving to Him for all that He had done for me throughout my life. Suddenly I became aware that I was singing the words and melody of a chorus that I had never heard before, “Lord, I thank You for all You have done. Father, thank You for giving Your only Son. Thank You Jesus for dying for me. There—on the cross of Calvary.” Ever since then, we sing that chorus in our congregation with our hearts overflowing with thanksgiving. I invite you to join us in giving thanks to God this Thanksgiving season during any of our church services. Come overflowing with thanksgiving as Psalm 100:4-5 instructs us, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good...”

The Rev. Lamar H. Handwerk Pastor, St. Peter’s U.C.C., Seemsville
Giving Thanks In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18 A five-year-old girl was asked to say the blessing at Thanksgiving dinner. She began by thanking God for all her friends, naming them one by one. Then she thanked God for Mommy, Daddy, Brother, Sister, Grandma, Grandpa, and all her aunts and uncles. Finally, she gave thanks for the turkey, the dressing, the fruit salad, the cranberry sauce, the pies, the cakes. Then she paused. After a long silence, the young girl looked up at her mother and asked, “If I thank God for the broccoli, won’t He know I’m lying?” Have you ever felt that way? We know we’re supposed to cultivate a heart of thankfulness. But let’s be honest: there’s a bunch of broccoli in our lives that is really hard to give thanks for. Amazingly enough, by cultivating thankfulness for God’s work in me as I try to glean the lessons of loss, I’ve even come to be thankful for the trials I’ve experienced. I know that through them God has made me into the person I am today, a new and hopefully improved version, full of much more grace and love. Being thankful for everything — intentionally nurturing a heart of gratitude — is a way to bolster your faith on a daily basis. And (broccoli notwithstanding) I guarantee it will keep you in a better mood. Are you thankful for your “broccoli” today, even though that’s it’s hard? How have your trials shaped and molded you for the better? Even if you’re not quite in the place to be thankful specifically for the difficulties and painful circumstances, thank Him for what He is doing in your heart and life through them! hunting and fishing. Surviving are nieces, nephews, great-nieces and greatnephews. He was the last of 13 children. Services were held on Monday morning in the Schisler Funeral Home, 2119 Washington Ave., Northampton, where memorial contributions to the American Cancer Society may be sent.

Dave Wirth and Sonja Kustafik. 4251 Wood St., Schnecksville, PA 18078
The house stood on a 93-acre farm that was purchased by my father and mother, Frank W. Wirth and Rose A. Wirth, from Mable A. Schlicher and Harry Schlicher of the Coplay borough on the 17th day of April 1943. They later purchased an additional contiguous 12 acres of land from my grandfather, August Wirth, of the township North Whitehall on the 25th day of November 1952. This made a 104 acre full working farm until 1995, including raising and butchering our own animals until 1975. I purchased the farm from my brothers and sisters (the Rose A. Wirth estate) on the 20th day of October 1992. The original section of the home was built as a two story settlers log house in the 1730s or 1740s, along the Coplay Creek, which is a tributary to the Lehigh River. A stone addition was added to the original settler's home in the early 1800s. We added a solarium addition fifteen years ago, incorporating the 1915 cool cellar within, using 1800s spare beams from the barn. Complete restoration took approximately fifteen years. This included repointing all interior and exterior stone and walk-in fireplace. All interior chestnut beams were exposed and refinished along with the original window frame between the two story settler's home and the 1800s stone addition. Other interesting features are a large 40-foot by 80-foot 1800s drilled and pegged beam barn, smoke house, old drilled and pegged beam sheds and stable. The experience of living and farming as the youngest member of the Wirth family over the past 58 years has been exhausting at times, but so rewarding.

tender Rob Zepp and a diving block at an empty net bid by rookie defenseman Robert Hagg in the waning moments to preserve the win in the first of five straight home games at the PPL Center in downtown Allentown. On Friday night, defenseman Brandon Manning scored a third period power play goal against Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton to tie the game in what ended up being a 3-1 loss. On Saturday night, with the Phantoms on a twoman advantage, Manning gave his team a third period lead in route to a bounceback win over Toronto. With the injuries on defense throughout the organization, a guy like Manning has seen his ice time rapidly increase to the point where he was called up by the Flyers for two games at the tail

www.HomeNewsPA.com end of October. As a veteran guy on a young and relatively inexperienced blue line in Lehigh Valley, he certainly feels the need to take his game to another level and so far, he certainly has. “Yeah, no question,” Manning said of being asked about his increased role. “It’s my fourth year here and I’m getting a lot of opportunities,” Manning said. “It’s good pressure.” The Phantoms played much better defensively over the weekend, limiting their opponents to a combined 53 shots in two games. While on the road in Manchester and Portland on Nov. 7th-8th they allowed 44 and 40 shots in backto-back nights, nearly equal to the amount of shots allowed this weekend. The Phantoms were off Sunday but will have practices leading up to Wednesday night’s game against the Hershey Bears. The home stand for the Phantoms continues with weekend games against the Worcester Sharks on Friday and the St. John’s IceCaps on Saturday, before they finish the stretch of home games next Wednesday night against Springfield. “You need to make your home barn a tough place to play in and I think so far we’ve done that this year,” Manning said.“We need to find a way to continue that.”

Box 174 Pittstown, NJ 08867-0174 Executrix DANIEL G. SPENGLER, ESQUIRE 110 East Main Street Bath, PA 18014 Attorney for the Estate (11/6-11/20) PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN BOROUGH OF BATH Notice is given pursuant to the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code (Act of 1968, P.L.805, No.247 as reenacted and amended) and the Borough of Bath Zoning Ordinance that the Borough of Bath Zoning Hearing Board will meet on Monday, December 8, 2014 at 7:00PM on the application of Campbell Real Estate Holdings, owner of the property located at 107 E. Main St., Bath, PA. The property is located in a CH-1 Commercial Highway with Residential Zoning District. Appellant currently has four office suites on the second floor of the building. Appellant desires to reduce the square footage of the offices thereby increasing the number of smaller number of offices in the building. The Appellant requests an interpretation of the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law documented in the previous Zoning Hearing Board Decision known as Docket No. 2013-1, as well as Section 179-14, Section 179-101, and Section 179-135 of the Bath Zoning Ordinance. Additionally, Section 179-251B, states: “All uses should meet the off-street parking and loading requirements set forth in this Section…”. Section 179253A.6 identifies the “use” as “business and professional offices”. One parking space is required for each 200 sq. ft of floor area. Accordingly, the parking requirements are based on the amount of square footage of the office “use”, not the number of office suites. Appellant submits that the previous Zoning Hearing Board determination and the Ordinance permits the occupancy of all of the existing office space whether consisting of four large offices or multiple smaller offices. Appellant respectfully requests this interpretation by the Zoning Hearing Board. In the event the board does not grant Appellant this favorable interpretation, in the alternative, Appellant requests a variance to Sections 179-251B and 179253A.6. The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers, Bath Borough Municipal Building, 215 E. Main St, Bath, PA. The public is invited to attend.
