Mt. Vernon’s Friendship Tree Was planted in Bath in 1962
As a follow-up to the article two weeks ago, by museum curator Ed Pany, about the Friendship Tree that was a gift of General George Washington to his friend, General Robert Brown, after the Revolutionary War, more should be said about the tree that is growing majestically in Bath. Also known as America’s Friendship Tree, it came as a six-foot seedling of a horse chestnut tree from Washington’s Mount Vernon estate in Virginia, and arrived at the Bath Post Office in the U.S. Mail in the fall of 1962. Editor Bill Halbfoerster, who was a member of the Bath 225th Anniversary Committee, wrote the staff at Mt. Vernon, telling them that the original tree in East Allen Township had fallen prey to Nature’s elements, and it would be appropriate if they would send a tree from Mt. Vernon as a replacement and it could carry on that symbol of friendship. On October 10, 1962, the
tree was turned over to the Bath Park & Shade Tree Commission, headed by the late Charles L. V. Hahn, and planted at the eastern end of Keystone Park at Green & Race Sts. in Bath. It has continued to grow, despite being hit by a car a number of years ago. At the foot of the tree is a plaque that tells the story of the tree and its symbolism. The plaque carries these words: America’s Friendship Tree
A European Horse Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum) Planted on Oct. 10, 1962 by the Bath Park & Shade Tree Commission this Buckeye tree was donated by the Bath Borough to commemorate its 225th Anniversary. A sapling from an original harvest of Buckeyes taken from the Ohio Valley by Gen. George Washington, it serves today as a living renewal of the friendship he knew for a native of Bath, General Robert Brown. This tree perpetuates the last living link between three patriots a symbol of their friendship and their struggle for the freedom of America.
Borough Manager Tom Petrucci announced Monday night at Bath Borough Council meeting that the sidewalk project on S. Chestnut St. would start this Wednesday. He said demolition of the old sidewalks will begin on the west side at the Red Wolf Hotel and move north in segments so as not to cause traffic problems. New sidewalks have already been installed on Green Street as part of a CDBG project, with Grace Industries of East Allen Township the contractor. For the convenience of S. Chestnut St. residents, Council voted to remove parking restrictions so that they can use the borough’s parking lot along W. Northampton St. for more than two hours and overnight during the duration of the construction time period only. Other Matters • Council authorized EngleHambright & Davies, Inc. to attempt to negotiate a new contract rate for the Borough of Bath’s AmeriHealth workers’ compensation policy 2014 renewal and serve as the broker for workmen’s compensation insurance only if successful in obtaining a lower premium rate. • Three resolutions adopted HARB Certificates of Appropriateness for 107 E. Main St. (Subway) as they await PennDOT ‘s highway occupancy permit; 135 S. Chestnut St.; and 106-108 S. Chestnut St. for signs. • Werner Enterprises has agreed to pay for damages to the traffic signal pole at Main & Walnut Sts. Petrucci said it could take up to four months to replace the signal. • A proposed rental and usage policy for borough maintenance buildings, recreation places and auxiliary facilities may be adopted in December. Councilman Michael Reph asked many questions on use on Monday, and other Council persons joined in. Most rentals will be through Petrucci or secretary Linda Hahn. • A schedule of fees is being compiled, and there will be increases for the solicitor, engineer, Right to Know admin-
istration, and zoning hearing board fees among others. • It was announced that the Christmas tree lighting ceremony will be on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 5 p.m. at Monocacy Creek Park. • Two proposed ordinances will be advertised: Sanitation Third Party Collection and Delaware Valley Health Insurance Intergovernmental Agreement. • If there is no cost to the borough, a National Endowment for the Arts grant of $200,000 may be pursued. A committee of Carol Bear-Heckman, Jennifer George, and John Kearns will study it. • Petrucci said it could be another two and a half months until FEMA closes out its obligation for the Keystone Park pavilion and parking lot construction. • Councilwoman George said the Recreation & Park committee met and discussed possible projects, including a skate park. A donation from ESSA Bank is possible to fi-
nance some of the work. • The tax collector still has $41,000 to collect from taxpayers. • Petrucci said most businesses are not complying with the new sign ordinance, specially the OPEN portion. In audience comments, Mike Hennesy of the Bath Lions football team noted that money has been tight for them, but paid $500 of the $1,121.52 electric bill . . .Fire Chief Ed Demchak reported that the recent Halloween parade was successful, and Councilwomn Kathryn Roberts said it was better than Allentown’s. . . .She also complimented Petrucci for helping with the collection of leaves, filling in for a borough worker, and noted that he does an “all-around job” in his position. Demchak’s October report showed these man-hours: fire calls, 36; EMS calls, 5; drills, 84; school, 6; administration, 160; equipment repairs, 32; meetings, 61; work detail, 218; and fire police, 5.

Honoring Veterans on Veterans Day 2013… and every day Submitted by Mike Gould, Chairman, Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation At a time when veterans need our support more than ever, consider this year’s Veterans Day observance as a time to make a donation to the Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation in the honor or memory of a veteran. The Foundation was established on Veterans Day, 2011 (11-11-11) and as it approaches its second year anniversary, the need for additional do-
nations has never been more critical. The number of veterans finding themselves in need of financial help -- and the fact that word is spreading about the PVF’s ability to respond quickly and effectively -- have led to recordsetting months of demand. Over these past few months, the Foundation has been granting between $15,000 to $25,000 per month to veterans and families in crisis situations. These grants range from assistance in rent, utili-

ties, and car repairs to helping surviving families meet initial needs. However, the Foundation will need to attract more donations to continue to help at this current rate of granting money. During the time when we honor all those who have served in uniform, it is appropriate to especially remember those friends and familes that we know personally through an “In Honor Of” or “In Memory Of” donation. Those who choose to donate will have the names of those veterans they honor listed on the PVF website. PVF Chairman Mike Gould stated, “The Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation has proven it can immediately come to the rescue of veterans and family members in need. We have saved lives, given hope, and provided immediate assistance. And through the great support we get from organizational and individual donations, we can help to save many more of our veterans in a time when they feel hopeless and that no one is grateful for their sacrifice.” As we remember and thank our veterans on this Veterans Day, the Foundation needs your help to continue its work in helping and reaching even more of our Veterans. A taxdeductible donation to the PVF is a way to thank our veterans for their service and know that you have had an immdeiate, positive, and at times, lifesaving impact. The Foundation will gladly accept your In Memory Of and In Honor Of donations to pay tribute to the sacrifices of our service members and family members, past and present. Please visit the website, www.paveteransfoundation. org, to donate on line, or mail a donation to Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation, PO Box 98, Annville, PA 17003. Please make checks payable to the “Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation”. Pennsylvania is home to more than 980,000 veterans, many of whom -- from all eras and branches of service -- come to the Foundation in times of difficulty and crisis. Help us help them. Vet-
erans in need of assistance should contact their County Directors of Veteran Affairs, local Veteran Service Organizations, the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (www.paveterans.state.pa.us) or the Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation. The mission of the PVF is to provide assistance and support to Pennsylvania veterans and their families. No member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors or staff gets paid and all donations go to benefit Pennsylvania veterans and their families. Administrative and support costs of the Foundation are less than 3%. The PVF is recognized by the IRS as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The official registration and financial information of the Pennsylvania Veterans Foundation, Inc., may be obtained from the Pennsylvania Department of State by calling toll-free, within Pennsylvania, 1-800-732-0999. Registration does not imply endorsement.

The Lehigh Valley Angel Investors Network, which has financed a half-dozen start-ups with a total of $500,000 over the past three years, is seeking new partners that will expand its portfolio and allow for greater investment in companies throughout the tri-state region of Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. Founded in 2010 by Todd Welch of Charter Partners and approximately a dozen other successful business owners, the Lehigh Valley Angel Investors share a “pay it forward” philosophy that drives them to help new entrepreneurs find the capital needed to forge a successful company. “All of us are entrepreneurs and we all started from the same place, which was basically nothing,” said Stuart Schooley, treasurer for the network and founder and co-owner of Dutch Springs in Lower Nazareth Township. “We all rolled up our sleeves and worked and now we are looking to help like-minded people. Somewhere along the line, someone helped us and we are now looking to return the favor.” Among the companies benefitting from Lehigh Valley Angel Investors are Orion Fleet Intelligence of Conshohocken; Virtual Cel-

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Wow! Did it ever get cold this week! For Sunday and Monday temperatures dropped down into the high 20’s and low 30’s. It felt like a December winter. Folks put on their winter coats for the first time, and some even had scarves on with the winds that made it even colder. The weather people said it would be warmer on Wednesday and level off in the 50’s, and even get up in the 60’s. So that’ll be all right. Enough of winter already!! When you hafta drag out the snow thrower in November because of the scare, that’s too much. . . . Yep, Herbie Silfies came home from out West after traveling with some relatives along the coast, and he’s back at the hearts game with his Legion gang. . . .His older brother, “Chow”, had his 70th year high school class reunion, I hear, and celebrated it with
his wife just back from Sicily. . . . Eagles fans couldn’t believe it that quarterback Nick Foles threw seven touchdowns to beat Oakland’s Raiders, the first time ever. What will he bring this Sunday when they play up at Green Bay? If their quarterback Aaron Rodgers is recovered from his injury of Monday night when they played the Bears, the Eagles might not fly so high. Then again, if the back-up Seneca Wallace is in there, maybe the Eagles will win. You never know. I heard ‘em say on TV that the cheese heads the Packers fans wear could stretch from New York to California. What about those shredders, though? That’s a new one. . . . The election was on Tuesday. As I’m writing this it’s before then, so I don’t know the turnout. The pundits were forecasting a very light vote. Hope not. . . .The

debate goes on about voter I.D. Personally, I’m for it. It’s supposed to stop voter fraud. We don’t have it around here, but in the big cities like Philly and Chicago, I think there’s double and triple voting by some people and that’s fraud. Most folks have a driver’s license, or even a credit card, so that’s I.D. Oh well, the debate goes on. . . . “Fi” Mirabito will be our new mayor come January, succeeding Don Wunderler. Hats off to Don! He did a real good job. . . . Good to see Harold Henning in town. He was substitute preacher at the U.C.C. church on Sunday, and brother Warren welcomed him. “Boozie” is having health problems and couldn’t make it here. Let’s hope she’s better. . . . Only a few weeks until Thanksgiving and the “turkey day” football games. Nazareth and Northampton players are hoping to get better at least for that one day. . . .

The network is looking to grow from the current 20 members to a group of about 35 to 40 investors. Qualified participants must have at least $2 million in assets or net worth, or $200,000 in annual earnings. The network meets monthly to hear presentations from startup applicants and each member decides individually if he or she wants to invest in that company.

Those that meet the early qualifications make presentations to the group before any decisions are made on invest-

Members can invest individually even if the group opts out, and returns are generated through interest, conversion to stock or through the sale of the company. Schooley said successful startup applicants should have an familiarity with their field, a strong management team, viable product or service, manufacturing access where needed, and an exit strategy that extends no further than five years. A member of the network generally serves as a liaison or representative to the start-up.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Blow Their Minds I had the honor of being asked to speak to students at Lehigh University recently. When the coordinator and I spoke, she stated that the topic she would like me to present on was heart health and the cardiovascular system. I asked her if she knew that I was a chiropractor and not a cardiologist. She laughed and said yes she knew and that she wanted the students to hear about any natural healthcare approach I might have. I told her that I could do the usual talk about proper
nutrition, exercise, stress, etc…or….I could blow their minds!!!! She said, “Please blow their minds.” It was then that I realized that I had better deliver. Not an easy task. I showed up to the event thinking that I would be a part of a larger event with other speakers. As it turns out, I was the only presenter for the seventy plus individuals in attendance. As the sweat started to bead down my head, I thought, “Why did you promise to blow their minds?” What I didn’t say thus far
is that I have been doing research on a topic this past year that has actually been blowing my mind. I feel this topic is the most incredible revelation in modern medical nutrition as it relates to the cardiovascular system and the body overall. I felt pretty comfortable in that if I could convey the information in a concise way that they too would be amazed as I was when first digging into this material. And so I went for it. I delivered forty five minutes of discussing the single amino acid that increases blood flow through the entire cardiovascular system, which could and can potentially reduce blood pressure, cholesterol levels, triglycerides, raise HDL’s, lower LDL’s, increase circulation, potentially reduce insulin handling issues, is a natural type of Viagra, increase blood flow to the brain

In Loving Memory of our Son Michael E. Kulp 4-21-2000 to 11-17-2012 Thank you to all of our family, friends, and people in the community for your loving support over the past year. The Kulp Family Mike, Tamara, Mikell, and Nana
(and all organs for that matter), may assist with dementia type concerns, assist with irregular heartbeats, remove plaque from arteries, fights cancer, virus, bacteria and fungus, and believe it or not, much more. The amino acid I am referring to is L-Arginine. I have written about it before. In 1998 a Nobel prize in Medicine was given to three gentleman who determined that NO (Nitric oxide) was a signaling molecule for the cardiovascular system. Essentially, the amino acid L-Arginine turns into nitric oxide which in turns has a dilatory effect on all the blood vessels in the body producing the potential benefits listed above. WOW! So were these seventy plus individuals blown away? Yes, they were. They appeared to absorb everything I was saying. Once the questions started coming, they kept coming. This past week I am still receiving emails from them asking where they could find more information. A couple asked me if I had internship opportunities. Very flattering. My hope, and I asked them this specifically, was to tell others. Get the word out that L-arginine, taken in a specific therapeutic dose, can dramatically change lives, improve lives, and prevent disease. If this didn’t blow their minds then ladies and gentleman, nothing will. Be well-

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – Fearless or Fraid
By CAROL RITTER
Growing Ur Biz, without question, is critical. The same old same old doesn’t work with today’s customers. There is no risk, there is no over the top success, a few new customers maybe, or possibly some luck. If you don’t believe, just turn on the television. These shows are booming. The show Survivor advertising new and exciting season, Dancing with the Stars - Best Season Ever. Today I heard All New Shark Tank, here’s the thing, there may be something new and exciting maybe not, but people are interested. I was with a friend recently who owns a “small biz” and I asked, “How’s business?” She replied, “I need to do something right away, I need change, business is ok but I want it to be booming.” Don’t you? Booming is where it’s at and you will never hit booming unless you are willing to be FEARLESS - TAKE RISKS - and have a willingness to FAIL. Cautious Cathy, Scared Susie and Passive Patsy can’t be part of your future. Here’s my 4 LIFE CHANGING STRATEGIES... Do not allow Distraction watch and accomplish your goals daily. It’s so easy to get distracted with naysayers, social media, interruptions and
personal stuff, commit to one year, today, focus on the future Commit to LifeLong Learning - read, read, read, learn something new, something you can use in your business, but especially follow the nation’s political issues - it will and has directly affected all of us recently Be Fearless - try something new once a week, failure will come your way sometime why not be BOLD about ithave a SO WHAT ATTITUDE Be Ready - stay on the lookout for opportunities, be prepared to seize the moment and transform the opportunities into a new client, new revenue or maybe a new employee-every single person you meet is a future client, no matter where or when you meet them. That’s it. Trust me, if you can embrace these 4 simple strategies and commit to following them for one year, you can start “GROWING UR BIZ today. What’s the alternative-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzgood night!

Wolf Christmas House Tour GREEN PASTURES, STILL WATERS, HARD TIMES AGONY ACRES, aka 3434 Hill Road, Village of Friedens, Slatington, once served as the epicenter for generations of PA German dawnto-dusk soil cultivators and/ or sheep farmers. Its original two-story chestnut log farmhouse (circa 1860) anchored by a twenty-foot-high openhearth limestone fireplace has been lovingly restored as a bulwark against any bulldozer’s wrath. Its outbuildings – bank barn, sheds for hay, horses, chickens, goats, sharecropper quarters, butchering, canning, and soapmaking (even its two-seater outhouse) – validate our bold forefathers whose daily survival hinged upon infinite amounts of toil, sweat, and ingenuity. The same can-do spirit and survival skills drove an eightyear restoration effort begun in 1994 by owner Jonathan Meyer Horn and his special team of parents, future wife, local contractors, master craftsmen, and restoration experts. Major additions: pent roof, third story with double dormers, landscaped patio, two-story wing with porch, country kitchen, and Master Suite. Throughout the interior of the home are beams and plank floors which were salvaged from sheds on the property which were beyond repair.
Current residents: Marti Meyer Horn, John Alden Horn, and innumerable, undocumented guest members of the animal kingdom. German Haus Segen May Joy and Peace surround you and contentment latch your door.

Three Local Streams Could Become Class “A” In New PFBC Policy
In October 2009, the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission approved the Strategic Plan for Management of Trout Fisheries in 2010-2014. The plan was developed based on input provided by a work group that consisted of PFBC staff, anglers affiliated with a variety of sportsmen’s organizations (including Trout Unlimited), and independent trout anglers not affiliated with an organized group. One of the key issues addressed in the plan was the protection of Class A wild trout waters. It stated, “There are a number of streams that may hold Class A biomass trout populations that have not been officially designated as Class A streams by PFBC. This leads to inadequate water quality protection for these waters and inconsistent application of fisheries management strategies.” The identified strategy to address this specific issue is “By 2014, sampl e waters identified by PFBC staff as likely to support a Class A wild stream biomass and designate appropriately.” To date, PFBC staff have identified 10 potential high biomass waters (including the Monocacy, Martins, and Little Lehigh creeks). They have completed new inventories on these waters, and each has been sampled once since 2010. A second survey is planned this year. Currently, each of these waters is stocked. Most of them support heavy angler use for the stocked trout component of the fishery. To address the high angler use levels for stocked trout on these waters, PFBC proposes amendments to the Class A policy. These amendments will permit stocking to continue on Class A waters that meet certain conditions. These exceptions will be limited to those waters that (1) had been stocked the year preceding the Class A designation and (2) where angler use is greater than equal to the 75th percentile of angler use (number of anglers/mile on opening day) for stocked trout waters in Pennsylvania. Prior to adopting changes

to their policy, the PFBC will seek public comment for a period of 90 days. If adopted, the amended statement of policy will go into effect on January 1, 2015. Class A wild trout populations represent the best of this Commonwealth’s naturally reproducing trout fisheries. With rare exceptions, these stream sections are managed solely for the perpetuation of the wild trout fishery with no stocking. High biomass waters being considered for Class A designation include in this area the Stream Name, County, Number of 8 a.m. anglers/mile, Percentile rank, Year, Stocked Trout Efficiency Class, Population Class, and Kilometer Section Length as follows: Little Lehigh Creek, Lehigh, 58, above 90th, 2010, Class 2, Metro, 7.9 Little Lehigh Creek, Lehigh, 180, above 90th, 2011, Class I, Metro, 3.3 Martins Creek, Northampton, 16, above 25th, 2011, Class 2, Suburban, 7.5 Monocacy Creek, Northampton, 190, above 90th, 20011, Classs 1, Metro, 1.6 Monocacy Creek, Lehigh/ Northampton, 207, above 90th, 2011, Class 1, Metro, 3.4 The other streams considered for Class A status are Fishing Creek in Clinton County, Penns Creek in Centre County, Pohopoco Creek in Carbon County, and Yellow Creek in Bedford County. We’ve been told by WCO Lee Creyer that if the stream is placed in Class A status, no fishing contests will be allowed, for that is when clubs or organizations stock fish primarily for the event. If opposed to the plan, anglers and other sportsmen locally are advised to contact State Representatives Julie Harhart, Joe Emrick, Marcia Hahn, Steve Samuelson, Michael Schlossberg, Gary Day, Justin Simmons, Daniel McNeill, or Ryan MacKenzie, along with Senators Lisa Boscola, Bob Mensch, Patrick Browne, and David Argall. ,

VETERANS DAY 2013 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. John J.

Nazareth Borough’s 2014 Budget calls for 1-mill tax hike By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
With an assessed valuation of $122,869,300, Nazareth Borough Council will enact a 2014 budget of 13 mills, which is a one-mill increase over the present year. It is the third increase since one mill was added in 2005. An .8 mill increase was adopted in 2010; a half mill increase in 2012, and a .5 mill hike in 2013. The total budget is $7,561,712, which includes $1,597,432 from the 13 mills, $188,541 from existing capital reserves, $2,800,000 proceeds of debt, and $3,164,280 from all other receipts. The budget will be advertised for public inspection for 10 days in November starting about Nov. 15. Councilman Larry Stoudt, finance chairman, was commended by Council for his work on the budget. Council, at its workshop meeting last Thursday, was briefed on plans by Moravian Hall Square for independent living units that will be part of the senior complex. They would be located at 201 North St., and 133 and 137 N. Green
Street. The plans were to be discussed further at Council’s regular meeting on Monday. In another presentation, John Reinhart, speaking for the Nazareth Memorial Library, asked if Council would consider a slight increase in funding. The proposed 2014 budget already lists $80,600 for the library. Upper and Lower Nazareth and Bushkill Townships are also contributors to the library. Council President Dan Chiavaroli said the request will be discussed by the law committee, but he doesn’t believe there will be an answer until February 2014 because of the unknowns of the election this week. Councilman Carl Fischl also discussed the library staff doing some work that is now done by the public works crew. Councilman Frank Maurek announced that the Moravian Historical Society is planning Christmas in Nazareth on December 14, and luminaries will be placed around the circle. Also in his report, he noted: Renovations completed at the park; flagpoles will be

Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark Northampton Assembly of God
The Cause For Thanksgiving At the end of December, I will have pastored Northampton Assembly of God for 45 years. Our family had contentedly lived in a mobile home during the first 29 years, and then through a series of unexpected events and miracles along with lots of help from church members, we built a house. During that time, several people stated to me, “Pastor, you have paid your dues.” They indicated that we were worthy of having a house since we had ministered at the church so many years. During my prayer time right after that, I was thanking the Lord for His goodness to us when that statement came to mind. Then I remembered the words of Jesus, “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do” (Luke 17:10). As these words of the Savior sank in, I was deeply moved to tears and began to say to the Lord, “Lord I know that you don’t owe me anything--I owe you everything! I have only done that which was my duty to do!” Far too often Christians allow worldly secular perspectives to form or impact their beliefs and concepts of God. We need God’s plumbline--His Word--to help us get things straight and truly upright! Even though sometimes it may seem to us that we are being bypassed and forgotten when the material blessings are being handed out--there is never a reason to criticize or blame God! He has already given and given and given to us! He owes us nothing more! Yes, the Lord promised “an hundredfold now in this time, houses...and lands” (Mark 10:30) to those who leave house or lands for His sake and the gospel’s, but we must be very careful to avoid thinking that He owes it to us! The self-centered “everything for me” worldly concept is foreign to the spirit and nature of genuine Christianity and is the cause of much bitterness toward God. When we fully realize that every spiritual and material blessing we have received flowed entirely from the bountiful hand of God’s grace and mercy, we will have discovered the cause for thanksgiving to God! There is and always will be cause for thanksgiving to the Lord! Annie Johnson Flint so fittingly expressed it in her hymn titled, “He Giveth More Grace,” when she stated, “His love has no limit; His grace has no measure; His power has no boundary known unto men. For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth and giveth, and giveth again!”

Math and Science students To benefit from New grant
Submitted by Heidi Butler Northampton Community College (NCC) has been awarded a $212,489 planning grant from the National Science Foundation for a new math-science partnership. This is the fourth NSF grant Northampton has received from the National Science Foundation in the last seven years. The planning grant
November 7-13, 2013 15
will enable faculty members to explore ways to make greater use of three types of instruction that have proven particularly effective in NCC’s SMaRT Scholars Program. Students in that program receive full-tuitionscholarships, advising and networking opportunities to help launch their careers as scientists, engineers, technicians and mathematicians. After earning associates degrees from Northampton, SMaRT Scholars have transferred to Lehigh University, Penn State, Rutgers and other colleges and universities and been hired by companies including B. Braun Medical, Inc., East Penn Manufacturing, Sanofi Pasteur, and Victaulic. The goal of the planning grant is to find ways to give even more students the opportunity to benefit from inquiry-based learning, experiential learning and service learning in courses such as biology, chemistry, and mathematics, and ultimately in other subjects at Northampton and possibly elsewhere. The results of the research may serve as a model for other colleges and universities. In recent years the National Science Foundation has increased its funding for community colleges in its quest to keep the United States competitive in science and engineering. More than 40% of students in the United States begin their college education at a community college. Famous scientists who attended community college include Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot the space shuttle; Bruce Kemmerer, winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry; and Dr. Richard Carmona, the former surgeon general of the United States.

Cement Worker Of Month
Robert H. Rissmiller Keystone Cement Co. Bath
By ED PANY
Mr. Rissmiller was raised in Moore Township and graduated from Northampton High School in 1971. He recalls, “I studied carpentry at the Vocational Tech School and my first job was with Fred Koehler doing home improvements for $2.75 an hour.” Bob followed his grandfather, Uncle Clarence Traugher, and father, Harvey in their cement careers hired by the Keystone Cement Co. on October 15, 1973. As other new employees, he started on the labor gang at a wage of $3.00 an hour. The foreman was Gil Harding of Bath. Bob remembers, “We were so busy, I worked many weeks of 12 hour shifts.” In 40 years at the plant, Bob has held a variety of positions working in the electrical sub station, unloading railroad coal cars, packing, quarry
truck driver and crusherman. He said, “My longest tenure has been in the packhouse as a bulk cement loader. For twenty years, I worked the midnight shift loading trucks. I especially recall one Monday morning shift when I loaded 44 tankers during a four-hour period. I worked for some fine foremen, Bob Heist and George Gasper. Presently, Mr. Rissmiller is the panel truck driver working with Carol Fritz, purchasing agent in the plant’s warehouse. He’s busy conveying parts, mail and even bringing in meals for hard-working cement workers, who are working overtime to keep the plant operating efficiently and safely. His plant radio keeps him in close contact with plant personnel. “Rissie” said, “I’m always on call and go where I am needed. Over the years I have
Wunderler’s Market Vintner’s Wine Kits
enjoyed good relationships with my co-workers; I have seen many come and go.” He lauded plant secretaries Diana Border and Beth Lipko. With emotion in his voice, he recalled two employees who have passed away. His classmate Luke Banks, Class of ’71 and neighbor Barry Edelman, former employees who are sadly missed. He also coached the girls softball team for Bath-East Allen. Mr. Rissmiller was a fine student of this writer over at Northampton High School, a student who showed great respect toward his teachers. He has been married to the former Sally Musselman for 36 years and are proud of daughters Jess, Heather, Alissa and grandchildren Derek, Ella, Lila and Trenon. The Rissmillers are avid campers. “Rissie” has been camping since his youth. The friendly couple resides in Moore Township. Mr. Rissmiller is a dedicated cement worker with 40 years of service, an amiable and friendly gentleman. I wish Bob and my friends at Keystone a successful and safe year and hope to return next year to honor another Keystone employee.
