Bath Council, school board head air safety for walkers

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton Area School Board President David Gogel came to the meeting of Bath Borough Council on Monday night.

It was to mutually find the best safety solution for students who walk to and from George Wolf Elementary School.

“Safety is most important for our children,” said Gogel, with 130 boys and girls walking to school every school day.

There are crossing guards, and both the Borough of Bath and the Northampton Area School District pay slightly more than $8,000 a year each for their service. Altogether, there are 20 safety people in the district.

One suggestion was to have designated areas on the sidewalks, where students can cross streets.

It was pointed out that the Allen St. intersection with Walnut St. (Rt. 512) is “horrendous” in the morning, and the feeling is that there should be more police presence by CRPD there.

Gogel said there needs to be more dialogue between the borough and the district’s transportation people.

Councilwomen Jennifer George and Carol Bear-Heckman have met with a local school representative and the idea for a specialty route was brought up.

Gogel said if one is established, the children must be informed that it is the way they must go to and from school. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito agreed that Council should go to George Wolf School. The parents would need

to know about it, so they can stress the importance of a safety route to their children.

Council president Mark Saginario told Gogel they never intended to eliminate school crossing guards, only transferring the responsibility to the school district. He encouraged Gogel to attend next Wednesday’s special budget meeting so they could have more dialogue.

-----------------------

“Safety is most important for our children.”

David Gogel

-----------------------

Saginario said most residents don’t attend Council meetings, so they have been making the best decisions they can on various issues. A tax increase could pay for the guards if the borough residents want to pay for crossing guards (a total cost of about $17,000).

Councilman Barry Fenstermaker and Ms. George said that after school, the kids stop at the playground and then disperse in all directions. She added that cars use the alleys and sometimes are side by side, so it is not safe for children who take shortcuts through the back alleys.

Council will have the special budget meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m.

Other Matters • On public works, Saginario said they will continue the present work practices, and not let

the new union affiliation dictate what can and cannot be done.

A fourth person will be hired for public works to even out the workload hours, especially during the winter plowing season.

• Mary Kositz of the Bath Business Community Partnership and the farmer’s market said they met with the Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce and are now under 501 (c)(3), with funds being deposited there. Money raised in special events will remain in the borough. The liaison will be the Greater Bath Chamber.

• In his Colonial Regional Police report, Saginario said they are very pleased with negotiations. . . .90% of the pension plan has been funded. . . .The 2016 budget has been approved, with Bath still to ratify it. . .No Shave Month is being observed by the officers to pinpoint prostate cancer.

• Instead of a Bath Water Authority report, Boro Manager Brad Flynn suggested it should be a Health & Sanitation report.

• Council voted to transfer $32,210 from developers escrow to the general fund.

• Two resolutions were approved. . . .One supports Senate Bill 974 and House Bill 1510 known as the “Pa. Fairness Act,” which updates Pennsylvania’s protected classes to include gay and trans gender Pennsylvanians in the realms of housing, employment and public accommodation. (Saginario voted yes, but said the Constitution applies to all people.) . . .A second resolution authorizes the borough manager to execute a grant application

to the PennDOT transportation fund for the installation of adaptive traffic lights at four intersections in Bath.

• Flynn reported that $3,300 has been approved in a TreeVitalize grant for trees in the borough, including the Old Forge tot lot.

• CIPP funding for the municipal building study and street sweeper is expected by January.

• Council discussed farmer’s market signage, with a vendor objecting that it includes “Bath” on the signs. Council agreed to talk it over with the objector, except Ms. Heckman, who voted against doing that. The market is in Bath, so why object to that name?

• Truck traffic was discussed, designating both W. Northampton St. and Barrall Ave. for “No Trucks – Except Local Deliveries.” Mrs. Heckman said it should only be for Barrall Ave., a borough street. It would cost $68,000 to rebuild that street after heavy trucks ruin it. Before any action on the designation, an engineering study must be made for police enforcement.

• If the borough gets a 2016 hotel tax grant, it would be used for the Siegfried Log Cabin. Mrs. George said a restoration person checked the cabin and found its interior very unique and decidedly Colonial. Its exterior, however, is not very good and needs siding, at a considerable cost. If the borough gets a grant it may be repaired, and will be under borough ownership.

• In her report, Mayor Mirabito said Turn Bath Pink receipts Continued on page 5

Northampton DECA has a very strong presence in the state of Pennsylvania, so they need to raise a great deal of money.

The sale will be held in the high school front lobby from 10 a.m.3 p.m.

There will be 20 different mattress sets to choose from, available in all sizes, including twin, full, queen, king, California-king and even special sizes. Just like in a mattress or furniture showroom, customers can lie on and try out every set. Styles include plush sets, pillow-top sets, latex, memory foam, gel beds, and dual-feel beds. These are awardwinning beds (Consumer’s Digest Best Buy, and “Women’s Choice” award). The mattresses are brand new and name brand with full factory warranties and all will be priced up to 50 percent below retail prices. Bed frames, pillows,

and mattress protectors will also be available. Delivery is available.

All forms of payment will be accepted, and profits will go directly to the Northampton High School DECA Program. Last year, the NHS DECA chapter fundraised over $50,000 towards their $75,000 competition expenses.

“The Mattress Fundraiser” is a nationwide fundraising program that is gaining popularity across the country the past 10 years.

Started in Cleveland Ohio, CFS now has franchises in 45 cities.

Dave Cox opened the Philadelphia franchise last summer and has raised over $300,000 locally and over $14 million so far for high school groups all around the country.

Governor Wolf Historical Society Christmas House Tour

1700s Stone and Brick home.

submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN It was love at first sight: a stucco-covered farmhouse along the Lehigh, with two ratty porches, in the middle of a weed patch on a dirt road. We first lived in the two-room brick wing when we started work on the house.

Off came the porches and the stucco. Underneath was an early 1700s field stone cottage (maybe ScotsIrish), a two story cut stone addition added in the late 1700s, with a brick second floor added to the cottage in the early 1800s, and finally a brick wing added a few years later.

Inside, we discovered two walk-in fireplaces, two corner fireplaces, pyramidal walls, wide plank floors, a 23-foot summer beam plus a beaded batten wall. The one thing we have not found is a fireplace in the oldest section.

We have traced the land back to a land grant from William Penn to William Wilson that was surveyed by William Parsons. Who built the original cottage? That is a question we are still working on 45 years later.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip A string of 70 degree days and Indian summer is feeling pretty good this week. Don’t mind being outside and taking a walk when it’s like that . . . . We started out the week by turning the clock back an hour and gaining an hour of sleep. That was great, too. . . .The local elections are over, so no cards in the mail pushing candidates, and the posters that fill the roadsides can come down. Now all that’s ahead is the race for president. Debates and commercials will go on and on, so either I’ll use the mute on TV or switch to something better. Even Elmira’s soaps, and that’s a stretch. . . .Wow! Those Kansas City Royals were something else, taking advantage of every miscue the Mets made. They were determined to win, and they did! The hitting and pitching that the Mets had in the playoffs weren’t enough in the World Series, and they were plain and simple out-classed. So no more baseball till springtime.

The season went really fast, and now we’ll just hafta suffer with how the Eagles are doing. Caro-

lina Panthers beat the Colts on Monday and are 7 and 0, with the Eagles as one of their victims. . . .Read an article on how young John Zymweski, Jr. rolled a 300 game over at the Bath Legion.

It’s really something when you can get all the strikes needed for a game like that. He usta be in a youth league. I don’t know if it was one of the Saturday leagues they had at the Legion, but he took the ball out of his closet that he used when he was younger and it worked for his perfect game. John hails from Cherryville, and bowls with his dad in the East Bath Sportsmen’s League at the Legion. Congrats! Now I hear that Andy Edelman also hit a 300. There’s some really great bowlers over at the Legion. . . .In last week’s parade, lots of candy was thrown out in the street for kids to pick up. That’s all right if they don’t get in the path of a vehicle. Even Mayor Fi threw candy from her car. But now she says she realizes the danger, and won’t do it in the next Halloween parade.

Instead, she’s gonna sit in a chair at the borough hall and hand out candy for the kids who come up to her. Probably on Trick or Treat Night, I’d imagine. By the way, there was an emergency call during the parade, and fire trucks had to take off from it. . . . Glad

to see all the new businesses that are popping up on South Chestnut Street. Now let’s patronize them. . . . Next Wednesday is Veterans Day. I hope people remember all the sacrifices our service men and women have made for our freedoms. A big salute to all the veterans, and those who are serving on active duty today.

VETERANS DAY 2015 IN MEMORY AND HONOR… During the past year, we have had the privilege of serving the families of Veterans. We are honored to be of service to them in their time of need, just as their loved one was there in our time of need. On Veteran’s Day, we pay tribute to those who served our country in the name of Freedom, the same Freedom that allows us to serve them.

Our prayers are with all the Veterans, their families, and with the brave men and women serving our country today. We also wish to thank those from our area’s veteran service groups who volunteer their time in honor guards and firing squads bestowing the greatest honor for their deceased comrades.

Phantoms looking to turn the corner

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock_TCG) Nine games into the regular season, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (4-5-0-0) have faced their fair share of adversity.

Of the 24 guys who started the season on the Phantoms roster, eight have spent time on the team’s injured list – the latest of which is to last year’s leading scorer Nick Cousins, who was visibly dazed after being hit up high in the third period of last Friday’s game. Cousins missed Sunday’s game and his status moving forward into this week isn’t yet determined.

They’ve also had a ninth injured player in newcomer Evan Rankin, who took a puck to the neck from a slap shot of teammate Shayne Gostisbehere last Friday night. Rankin missed Sunday’s shootout win over Hershey, but the forward is expected to return to the Phantoms’ lineup this weekend according to head coach Scott Gordon.

Then there’s forward Chris Conner, who has been a bright spot on this Phantoms roster amidst all the injuries. Conner tallied two goals Wednesday night in a 5-1 win over the St. John’s IceCaps and through the

team’s first eight games has four goals and four assists. Conner was called up to the Philadelphia Flyers before Sunday’s game against Hershey, as the NHL club needed an extra forward for their road trip in Western Canada.

“That’s kind of been our M.O., we have certainly had our share of injuries. We’ll at least get some bodies back soon,” Gordon said after Friday night’s 3-2 loss to St. John’s about all of the injuries limiting the team’s lineup.

One of those bodies returning to the lineup was speedy forContinued on page 15

NAZARETH AREA

Nazareth pieces of history

from the 275th Anniversary Committee • In 1858 a cable was laid on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean which allowed telegraphic mes-

sages to pass from North America to England in hours, rather than taking weeks by ship. The captain of one of the ships which laid the cable was a graduate of

Nazareth Hall, and he made sure that the school was given a piece of the leftover “Transatlantic Cable.” It is now in the collection at the Whitefield House.

Peter Richard Conte

• During World War II, the Indian Tower just north of Nazareth was used as an air observation post. Because of the possibility that the munitions factories at Bethlehem Steel would be attacked by air, volunteers staffed the post around the clock, identifying all aircraft in the area and where they were headed. The upper part of the tower was enclosed during that time to protect the radio equipment.

• “Henry Gun” in Nazareth means a firearm made at the Henry gun factory in Boulton, just north of Nazareth, between 1792 and 1904. In reality, there were other makers of “Henry guns:” Benjamin Tyler Henry in New England, whose rifles are still made today by the Henry Repeating Arms Company in Bayonne, NJ, and Alexander Henry of Scotland.

• In 1832, Alexander Philip Maximilian, Prince of WiedNeuwied, visited Nazareth as part of his travels. He was accompanied by an artist, Charles Bodmer, who published his drawings of the American tour in 1843, and by his personal aide, David Dreydoppel.

• Early Moravian communities, including Nazareth, had a unique way to announce a death. The church’s trombone choir (later including other brass instruments) Continued on page 13

often built a small building next to the church. The todt-haus, (dead house or corpse house) was a place to keep a body until the funeral or until it could be buried. Nazareth built such a building in 1781, at the west end of the Manor House, with the floor several steps down into the earth to keep it cooler. The building no longer stands.

Thank you, Dan! • In the early history of Nazareth, many governors from various states visited the community: Gov. William Denny of Pennsylvania in 1758 as well as other Pennsylvania governors in later years; Gov. Nathaniel Mitchell of Delaware in 1806, and Gov. Aaron Ogden of New Jersey in 1813.

A Dream From God

To many Jamaicians, Rupert Wint lived a dream life. A successful businessman, he produced mahogany furniture for export. His wife had a hardware store. The couple provided well for their six children in their Mandeville, Jamaica, home. But Rupert's life became a nightmare when he fell desperately ill. "We can't cure your sickness," the doctors informed him. "You are going to die." Sleeping in his hospital bed one night, Rupert had a dream. He saw an open casket being wheeled down the streets of Mandeville. Inside the casket was his own body! In his dream, Rupert heard God say, "Unless you repent of your sins, you are going to die."

The next Sunday morning, Rupert turned on a Gospel television program.

As he listened, Rupert remembered God's message in the dream. He began to weep. "Lord, I turn my life over to You," he prayed. Within a short time, Rupert was well and returned to business. He went to the church he had always attended, but he realized this church didn't preach what he'd heard from God and on television. He began to look for a new place of worship and found his way to First Assembly of God. Later he testified, "I had been here only 10 minutes when I knew this was the church for me."

Today he is a church member and a diligent, effective witness for Christ. He gives generously to the poor and needy. Because of Rupert, the community sees that true life is not just a dream--it is a reality in Christ.

As God told Rupert in his dream, repenting of his sin was an absolute requirement just as Jesus emphasized in referring to eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell. Jesus asked, “Think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:4-5). One must turn his life over to Jesus, as did Rupert, accepting Him as their Savior from sin. I urge you to read the Gospel of John in the Bible and ask Jesus to save you today. He will!

Phantoms

ward Danick Martel, who returned to action on Friday night after missing the team’s previous five games.

Martel tallied an assist in his first game back before recording a goal and an assist in Sunday’s wild win over Hershey.

The Phantoms let a 4-1 lead in Hershey slip away Sunday but after a strong penalty kill in overtime got the game to a shootout, the Phantoms pulled away with two points after Kevin Sundher scored in the bottom of the 10th round to seal the victory for Lehigh Valley.

The injuries have given other guys an opportunity to step up and make an impression, and Sundher is a perfect example of that.

After Conner was called up

by Philadelphia, the Phantoms added Sundher to a professional tryout contract (PTO) just hours before Sunday’s game.

“It's something I'm comfortable with. In junior, I was always the guy to take shots in the shootout,” Sundher said after Sunday’s win at Giant Center. “I just wanted to go out there and make my move. [Taylor] Leier did the same thing earlier in the shootout, so as soon as that happened I knew it was probably going to be there. I did it and it worked.”

The Phantoms are looking to build off of wins in two of their last three games with a week of practice ahead of themselves before a three-game weekend, which starts Friday night at home in a rematch against rival Hershey. Lehigh Valley will then travel to Syracuse, NY Saturday night for a meeting with the Syracuse Crunch before returning home to host the Binghamton Senators on Sunday evening.

Chris Conner is congratulated by a teammate following one of two goals he scored Wednesday night. Conner has since been called up to the Philadelphia Flyers.
