Book Fair raises more than $4.5K for Holy Family School
Northampton Borough’s 2018 Christmas tree
Looking by Back Ed Pany Museum Memories (Originally published in 2007)
I am still over at the Bath Museum with Marjorie and Carl Rehrig, Evelyn Hartzell, Agnes Melinsky, Mary Waltz and Diane Miller. Of course all of the gals were hugged by me. Sorry Carl. Mrs. Waltz is a keen 90 years young. Her daughter was a fine student of mine over at
Northampton High School a long time ago. Back to the museum: I found a dress of Suzanne Evans Schaffer from 1877. Carl Rehrig’s 1934 Bath Speed Boys basketball uniform, team members were EuContinued on page 2
Kindergarteners Elise Buss and Knox Patterson found some books they like at the school’s Fall Scholastic Book Fair. The book fair raised more than $4,500 for Holy Family School.
Submitted by KRISTINE PORTER The Scholastic book fair “Enchanted Forest: Let Your Imagination Grow” brought in a little more than $4,500 for Holy Family School, and sold 708 books. This equates to 127,440 minutes of reading, said Book Fair chairperson Joyce-Anne Schuster. “I’m really happy with the outcome of the fair,” Schuster said. “It was my first fair, and I was a little nervous to take it on without a co-chair. I had some amazing volunteers to help, so I’m excited how smoothly it went.”
The total sales were $4,509.38, and Schuster’s goal was $5,000 for purchases. “We were close. I’m hoping we can meet that goal in the spring,” she said. The Spring Fair will be held April 29 to May 3. As far as the theme of the next book fair, Schuster said, “I can’t give away the entire theme, but I’m sure it will be ‘DINOMITE.’ ” The fall book fair had plenty of World War II books available for budding history buffs, but Schuster said she highly recommends,
“Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry. It was her favorite book when she was in school. She also did a little reading between class visits during the fall book fair. “I was also glad I had time to read ‘A Dog’s Purpose.’ It was an amazing read,” she said.

gene Hartzell, William Swope, Charles Diener, Stephen Wagner, and Don Mertz. Unfortunately they are almost all gone. The way the 76ers are playing today, Carl may still help them with his outside shot. Other items which interested me were a $10 bill issued by the First National Bank of Bath in 1929 during the Great Depres-
sion. It is signed by Jacob Seem, cashier and B.F. Rohn, president, one of the founders of the old Bath Bank. A 1902 Lehigh Valley Bank of Bethlehem $5 bill. Carl recalls when the rare bill was given to his father in payment of a bill at Rehrig’s Garage. Another item is a ribbon from the 153rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Army of the Potomac. On the ribbon is the battle of Chancellorsville- May 1-2-3-1863, Gettysburg, July 1-2-3-1863. Many local residents served in the Civil War, including Solomon Schaffer from Bath, Northampton’s most famous Civil War soldier, Captain Theodore Howell, thrice wounded at Gettysburg, served in the 153rd. The Grand Army of the Republic Veterans from our area had a reunion in Bath on Sept. 25, 1909. Had to be a grand event to see the boys

Moore Twp. discusses Subdivision, water tanks, And holistic treatment at Planning meeting By HANNA O’REILLY Moore Township resident John Firmstone is planning to subdivide his property for members of his family near Rinker Road. However, in order to move forward with any subdivision plans, a speed study of Rinker Road was necessary. Following the study, the planning commission made a motion to recommend that Rinker Road be set to 25mph. Scott McPhee, owner of NCS Services-Liquid Packaging Service LLC, of 2753 Mountain View Dr. of Bath, presented a site plan alongside David Lear of Lehigh Engineering. Lear and McPhee presented a site plan which discussed the current use of the site- to rebuild milk carton filling machines. This company consists of five employees- two in the office and three mechanics. Lear and McPhee asked the board what “category” this business would fall under, considering it is accessory use to agriculture needs. The property will be deemed “Agricultural Repair Facility.” Jonathan Morris of Aqua America Pennsylvania presented to the Planning Commission plans to install larger, above ground water tanks at Christian Springs and Evanwood Station. Both areas are single lots owned by Aqua America Pennsylvania. The water tanks in each area currently hold 10,000 gallons of water. Morris requested that Evanwood expand to 15,000 gallons and Christian Springs expand to 20,000 gallons. An evaluation of the tanks showed that it is necessary that they be updated. The board explained the Morris that before moving forward, they want to see if a swale could be installed in the case of a rupture, that the water is not directed towards the residents next to it. The board also wants to know if the local fire department could hook up to these water tanks in the case of an emergency in the surround-

ing area. All residents within 500 feet of the tanks have been informed of the project. Jude and Mayra Chartier of 760 Andres Rd. in Bath approached the board about their interest in starting holistic treatments for clients out of their home. Their services are centered on helping members of the community relax through meditation, Reiki techniques, and salt room sessions. Zoning Officer, Jason Harhart, has been working with the Chartier’s to ensure that they are meeting the necessary regulations for this project. The Planning Commission Board has no issue with the plans; their only request is that more parking spaces be put in around the home for traffic safety purposes.

after the death of their loved one. As a result, experts at the Uniformed Services University (USU) have just launched a new study to help bereaved military families. The study -- Stepping Forward in Grief -- launched in August in collaboration with Columbia University’s Center for Complicated Grief. The team of researchers were motivated by key findings from USU’s National Military Family Bereavement Study (NMFBS), the first large scientific study on the impact of service member death on surviving family members. These findings suggest surviving family members, who have experienced the loss of a service member, may benefit from help managing their loss and grief with programs that recognize their unique experience as military families. Over the last two years, the researchers have worked to develop new, innovative digital programs Continued on page 13

Well anyway, those were the laws in Bath back in 1906 when motorcars were in their infancy. My dad remembered cars with rear mounted gas tanks and gravity fed gas lines to the motor. If the tank wasn’t sufficiently full, it would be necessary to back in reverse to the top of Northampton Street hill, then proceed as normal. My appreciation for cars began in the mid-1950s, when American-made autos were becoming bigger, more powerful, more luxurious, and more ornate, including large chrome grills and rear tail fins. I saw my first 1957 “Swept Wing Dodge” at Rehrig’s Dodge and Plymouth Dealership, formerly located at the corner of Northampton and Walnut Streets. The outside car dealership sign still hangs on the Northampton Street side of the building. With automobiles becoming a centerpiece of American culture, car clubs were popular in many cities and towns. A group of young men organized the “Aristocrats Car Club” in Bath with Frank Wunderler as president and Larry Hutchison as secretary. Other members included Billy Fields, Marvin Burley and Jerry DeGarmo. As a boy I enjoyed seeing them gather at the former coal yard with their beautifully kept automobiles. Each car sported a
metal plaque with the name and logo of the club hanging
from small chains under the rear bumper.

Saved By A Look!
Charles H. Spurgeon, a renowned English minister of the mid 1800s, had an astounding conversion to Christ when he was 15. He was on his way to his place of worship one Sunday morning during a terrible snowstorm. He writes, “When I could go no farther, I turned down a court and came to a little chapel. A poor uneducated man went into the pulpit to preach. He was obliged to stick to his text, for the simple reason that he had nothing else to say. The text was: ‘Look unto me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth’ (Isaiah 45:22). He followed it in this way: ‘Look unto Me; I am sweating great drops of blood. Look unto Me; I am hanging on the cross. Look! I am dead and buried. Look unto Me; I rise again. Look unto Me; I ascend. I am sitting at the Father’s right hand. Look to Me! Look to Me!’ Then the speaker looked straight at me under the gallery and said: ‘Young man, you look very miserable; and you will always be miserable – miserable in life, and miserable in death – If you do not obey my text. Obey now, and you will be saved.’ Then he shouted, ‘Young man, look to Jesus Christ!’ I did look and suddenly the cloud was gone, the darkness had rolled away – I looked with the eye of faith and my soul saw the Son of God!” We read in Numbers 21:4-9 that the Israelites sinned by murmuring against God and were dying from poisonous snake bites (as a judgment of their sin). When they confessed their sin and asked God to remove the snakes God told Moses to make a brass “serpent, and set it upon a pole (a type of Jesus dying on the cross for our sins) that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, (a type of our believing in Jesus for salvation) shall live.” Referring to this, Jesus said, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:14-15). Look to Jesus now and be saved! See: www.naog.ws/message.htm

Severe blood shortage: Red Cross issues immediate call for Blood and platelet donations Blood drive hosts also needed this winter to stop prolonged shortage Submitted by ALANA MAUGER The American Red Cross is facing a severe blood shortage and urgently needs blood and platelet donors to give now to avoid delays in lifesaving medical care for patients. Volunteer blood drive hosts are also critically needed to prevent the shortage from worsening this winter. During September and October, the Red Cross collected over 21,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than what hospitals needed. Blood donors of all blood types, especially type O, and platelet donors are urged to make an appointment to donate at RedCrossBlood.org or by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). Fewer blood drives in September and October coupled with hurricanes Michael and Florence, which caused thousands of blood and platelet donations to go uncollected, were key contributing factors to the current blood shortage. “This time of year, as many give thanks for family, friends and good health, it’s important to remember that patients across the country cannot survive without your generosity,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Biomedical Services. “From traumas to ongoing cancer treatments, the need for blood doesn’t stop for the holidays. People can give back – and help those in need – by making a lifesaving blood or platelet donation now and hosting a blood drive in the weeks to come.” An additional 4,300 blood drives nationally – and approximately 65 in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Blood Services Region – are needed in December, January and February to help stop the shortage from continuing throughout winter. Donations often decline during the winter holidays when many groups postpone blood drives while regular donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. Severe winter weather may also cause blood drive cancella-
tions contributing to fewer donations than needed. How to help Eligible donors can find a blood or platelet donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass, are encouraged to help speed up the donation process. RapidPass lets donors complete the pre-donation reading and answer the health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from the convenience of a mobile device or computer, or through the Blood Donor App. Who blood donations help Kylee Durham, 11, had a rare type of vascular tumor in her right jaw bone. When the tumor ruptured in August, the hemorrhage caused Kylee to lose so much blood that she needed two units of blood before an emergency embolization surgery to stop the bleeding. She required additional transfusions during surgery and received a total of eight units of blood, or about the total blood volume of an average adult, over a 12-hour period. The surgery was successful, and Kylee had a partial resection of her jaw a couple of days after the embolization to remove the tumor. Now a few months post-surgery, Kylee is back at home, enjoying middle school and spending time doing the things she loves. Her mother, Brittany Durham, is grateful for the donors who helped save Kylee’s life. Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Allentown: Dec. 7 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Mack South Fire Station and Training Academy, 1902 Lehigh St., Allentown. Easton: Dec. 7 from 2 until 7 p.m., Charles Chrin Community Center, 4100 Green Pond Road, Easton. Nazareth: Dec. 12 from 12 until 4 p.m., Nazareth YMCA, 33 S. Main St., Nazareth.
Grief Study
Continued from page 5
focused on loss, grief and wellness to support bereaved military families. The study is now seeking participants to enroll and help test out these programs. Eligible participants may include spouses, ex-spouses, adult partners, children, siblings, or parents (biological, step, or foster), age 18 or older, of a service member who died on or after Sept. 11, 2001, while serving in the military or as
e h T
a result of their military services. More info about participating in the study can be found on the Stepping Forward in Grief website: http://steppingforwardstudy. org. The digital programs are referred to as GriefSteps and WellnessSteps. GriefSteps is based on a model of grief therapy, used successfully with people with complicated grief, and suggests activities specifically designed to help individuals adapt to loss. WellnessSteps provides information and suggests activities designed to foster general health and wellness,
including stress-management and health maintenance, which have been shown to help reduce distress. In both programs, participants can message a program “guide” who is available to answer questions and share observations. “As a retired military psychiatrist, I look forward to testing how these digital programs help bereaved military family members with loss, grief and wellness. We are pleased that over two hundred have already signed up to participate,” said retired Army Col. (Dr.)
Stephen J. Cozza, co-principal investigator on the study. Cozza is a professor of Psychiatry at USU and associate director of USU’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress. “Equipping military families with resources that address the unique circumstance of their loss is an important part of honoring their service and sacrifice.” “Loss and grief are universally recognized as highly challenging life experiences,” said M. Katherine Shear, M.D., Marion Kenworthy Professor of Psychiatry at the Columbia University School
Nov. 29-Dec. 5, 2018 13
of Social Work, and study co-PI. “Most people find a way to adapt to even the most difficult losses when they are provided sufficient support. In studying how to help bereaved people who have not found a way forward, we came to understand the kinds of information and activities that can help. We are honored to have the opportunity to share these digital programs with bereaved military families and working with participants who join our study.”
