Bath passes 2019 Budget with no Tax increase By KERI LINDENMUTH The Borough of Bath passed its 2019 budget, with council unanimously approving it during their Monday, November 5 meeting. Residents will be happy to hear that the annual budget comes with no tax increase. In addition to taxes remaining steady, the budget also makes room for road work and public works projects. Throughout 2019, residents will see more paved roads. Council President Mark Saginario said that 2019 will present the borough’s public works team with a “very busy season.” The expansion of road work in the borough has also been made possible thanks to inter-municipal cooperation between Bath and Upper Nazareth Township. Throughout the year, the two municipalities have been working together to pave local roads. During their November 5 meeting, council voted to move this relationship forward by approving the joint submission between Bath and Upper Nazareth for a road paving equipment grant. “We have never had anything like this with our neighboring municipalities,” said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito. Finally, during the November 5 meeting, resident Derrick Dewaney appeared once again before council to follow up on his concerns about flooding in the alley behind his and his neighbors’ homes. Pavlov Place, an alley that runs
from Main Street to Silk Mill Street, continues to flood following its recent repaving. “This was not a concern or care of mine until this occurred,” said Dewaney. “We are all retaining water on our property which was not there before.” While Saginario said that the situation is not ideal, he added that the borough couldn’t fix the personal property of everyone inconvenienced following roadwork. Dewaney said he may have to consider legal options to resolve this issue. “You are claiming there is an issue and the borough caused it,” responded borough solicitor James Kratz. “We are not in agreement.” Other news in Bath: • The borough will continue collecting coats, scarves, gloves, boots, blankets, and hats for Project Keep Warm through December 1. New and gently used items can be dropped off at the municipal building. • The Bath Museum will officially open to the public on November 17. An open house will be held from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. • The state police are informing residents about its Yellow Dot program. By participating in the Yellow Dot program, residents can help EMTs easily access medical information in the case of an emergency. More information can be found at www.yellowdot. pa.gov.

VETERANS DAY 2018 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. Dale D.

Governor Wolf Historical Society’s 38th Annual Christmas House Tour and Family Day
Colonial revival, circa 1907.
submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings for the 38th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, December 1. The homes will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. This year’s theme is “Keep a Candle in the Window,” a German custom that welcomed travelers. The Home News will feature one of the homes each week until tour day. This Colonial revival is the best of both worlds. Circa 1907, it has its dormers, dentals at the eaves, and large colonial posts supporting a sweeping wrap around veranda. Notice the sidelights at the front door with ribbons, dogwood and gems. The huge front entrance door has a beveled glass window and impressive brass doorknob. The ceilings have been restored with new crown moldings and plaster replacing the suspended blocks that were there when the owners moved in. One highlight is the 6x10 stained glass window with a fan light in a crest, fleur-de-lis and scroll design on the landing of the front staircase. The owners contemporized the pocket doors in the dining room with mirrored panels to reflect the crystal chandelier. On the same day, the Annual Historic Christmas Family Day will fill the campus from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum hosts an exhibit of early lighting with ex-

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip The election is finally over, and I hope our nation will be strong, and in the best interests of all people, no matter their political party, color, race or religion. Congrats to the winners. There was a lot of competition and some real battles. We are all Americans, and let us all celebrate that fact. . . . My condolences to the families of Maryann Unangst, Evelyn Hartzell, and Charlotte Heller Herman. If you recall, Maryann usta write a column, “Down On the
Farm” for the Home News, that included her experiences living on a farm and raising a nice family. Evelyn did her part for the Lutheran church in town and was a co-founder of the Bath Museum (which will have an open house on Nov. 17 at the new municipal building), and Charlotte is a sister of Catherine Hahn, Caroline Struss and Miriam Nachesty. Again, our sincere sympathy to the families. We are losing more and more as we grow older, but that’s life, and we should value every day we have on Earth and thank God for what He has given us. . . .The winds and rain we’ve had this week are taking care of the fall foliage.

Expanding the bar and social hall, a brand new kitchen, bathrooms that the handicapped can use, and even a smoke-free area. We’re all proud of the American Legion and the veterans who belong there. I hope to make a donation to move the project along. Maybe some of our readers will help, too, even if it’s only a few bucks. . . .Take it easy, gang, and I’ll see you next week.

Veterans Day, Sunday, November 11. The announcement is an extension of AFC’s ongoing effort to promote flu prevention in the
MILITARY CHECKING With gratitude, we honor our active and retired service men and women.
United States and comes on the heels of the company’s annual National Flu Prevention Week campaign. The U.S. military was the first institution to establish a universal influenza vaccination policy, which dates back to the early 1940s – many decades before widespread immunization of healthy young people was recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other international health officials. Today, their goal is to exceed 90 percent immunization of all military personnel by midDecember each year. Despite this effort to mitigate the outbreak of flu among active duty and reserve personnel, veterans remain at risk. Fast Facts: Veterans, Health and Influenza • Among the 19.4 million veterans in the U.S., approximately 750,000 have no insurance coverage. • Veterans of the U.S. armed forces tend to be older and have more chronic health problems than the general adult popula-
tion, which may place them at greater risk of complications from influenza. • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has established a vaccination rate of 80 percent as the national goal for seasonal influenza vaccination. However, according to data from the National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics, a recent survey shows only 49 percent of veterans received a flu vaccination. • The prevalence of influenza vaccination among VA system users is approximately 75 percent, although approximately three-quarters of the U.S. Veteran population does not use VA services. • A study recently published in the journal Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology found that only 1.3 percent of U.S. Veterans Affairs hospitals mandate flu shots for their employees. More broadly, influenza outbreaks occur nearly every year, and cost the U.S. economy an estimated 71–167 billion dollars per year in health services use
and lost productivity. Influenzarelated diseases also cause an estimated 225,000 hospitalizations and 36,000 deaths annually in the U.S., mostly among chroniContinued on page 13

Declining Health On an Incline by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Understand that our country isn’t getting healthier, it is getting sicker. By saying the country, I mean us. No manipulation of statistics can persuade me otherwise. I do not say this lightly nor is this pessimistic on my part. It is simply observation and assertion of what I see over two decades of helping people heal. Ask yourself what you think your life and health will be like

NAZARETH AREA HFS students thank drivers during National School Bus Safety Week Submitted by KRISTINE PORTER Holy Family School’s Student Council organized a school-wide “Thank You” to the school bus drivers during National School Bus Safety Week in October. The council wanted to start the year off big, so within a matter of weeks, they held an appreciation day for the cafeteria workers and the bus drivers. Students from nine school districts including Bangor, Bethlehem, Easton, Nazareth, Northampton, Pen Argyl, Pleasant Valley, Stroudsburg and Wilson ride buses to Holy Family School. “I have a lot of great ideas for the school,” said Amber Unger, the president of the Student Council and eighth-grade stu-
dent. Students from Kindergarten through eighth grade made thank you cards for all of the bus drivers. The council separated the cards so that cards from children who ride that bus were given specifically to their driver. Each bus driver was presented with a yellow gift bag filled with the cards, some candy, a school bus driver prayer and some other school mementos. Kim Lance, from the Easton Area School District, wrote a thank you note back to the students. “To teachers, staff and students, I would like to thank you very much for all the cards the children made us for bus safety week. I was very surprised and enjoyed reading them. Thank
you for thinking of us bus drivers. This makes us feel appreciated.” “I want to make the school a better place. In the spring, I want to host a Color Run to raise money for something like air conditioning,” Unger said. Student Council Vice President Cara Magliochetti, also in eighth grade, is all in for fundraising. “I’ve been on Student Council in the past and I really enjoy it,” she said. “I like doing fundraisers.” The Student Council officers also include eighth-grader Maxwell Kochenash, secretary; and seventh-grader Bruce Jackson, treasurer. “It was fun and a great experience,” Kochenash said. “I learned so many things about the school.” Bruce, who is new to Student Council, said he’s looking forward to serving. “I have made unbreakable friendships and unforgettable memories. Holy Family has changed who I am; it has made me a better person.”

Grow UR BizThe magic Combo
By CAROL RITTER “Some ask me why our brewery is so successful. It’s because we have forged such a great team
who genuinely care about our product, patrons and, most importantly, each other!” Ken R. I read this on Facebook today and it sparked a lot of ideas. First of all, caring about your product is important, caring about your patrons/customers is necessary but overseeing a staff that genuinely cares about both is very challenging. I have a close friend who is a founder of a large law firm. I asked him what is the secret to his company’s success. His swift, clear and concise answer was, “You gotta show up!” Another small business owner said “loyalty” is why he’s so successful. You may think it’s the loyalty his staff shows him but it’s actually the opposite, it’s the loyalty he shows them. You’ve heard it before; your employees are your first customers. So what is the “magic combo?” I guess we could narrow it down but in the long and short of it, it comes down to six basic extreme customer service rules: 1. Build Relationships with your staff, your customers and the community. 2. Employees must feel respected, appreciated, recognized and secure. 3. When hiring, look to hire those who are emotionally intelContinued on page 12

Maryann Unangst
Maryann Unangst, 88, of Bath and Nazareth, passed away Tuesday, October 30, 2018. She was the wife of the late Owen C.H. Unangst who died in 1984. Born in Northampton, on September 5,1930, she was the daughter of the late Howard and Ruby (Sloyer) Luckenbach. She was the mother of five children, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren, all of whom were the joys of her life. Children: Son, Owen and wife Margi Cech of Colorado; daughter, Luann
of Florida; daughter, Susan and husband Mark Bahnick of Nazareth; son, Charles and wife Shelly of Nazareth; and son, Roger and wife Trudy of Bath. Grandchildren: Mathew and Ryan Unangst, Chelsea and Kevin Unangst, Julie (Bahnick) Bartocci and Alison Bahnick, Spencer Unangst, Kody and Tori Unangst. Great grandchildren: Harper and Henley Bartocci and Brooklynn Unangst and Brooks Unangst. Maryann was predeceased by her Luckenbach siblings: Tim (Howard), Carl, Bobbie (Robert), Rodney, Helen and Sidney. Maryann attended Northampton High School, where she met Owen, the love of her life. Sadly, Owen died young and his death left a permanent scar in her life. After 34 years, we are delighted for their Heavenly reunion. Maryann was a Registered Nurse and attended Abington School of Nursing. Over the years, she has been employed at St. Luke’s Hospital, Miller Blood Bank, Praxis Care, and Holy Family Manor. She retired from Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Allentown. Maryann’s life story: When Maryann and Owen married, her life as a town girl ended and she moved to her husband’s 1767 stone farmhouse and 113 acre farm. She happily spent time in the garden, picked apples and tended animals. For many years, Maryann chronicled her experiences in “Down on the Farm” stories for the Bath Home News. Maryann was delighted when son Roger chose to establish Unangst Tree Farms, keeping the farm in the family for another generation. After marriage and moving to the farm, five children soon followed. She loved being a mother and filled her days with their activities including teaching Sunday School, being a class mom and Den Leader and coaching softball. When her daughter Luann, a natural athlete, could not play sports on the male teams, Maryann helped to create the area’s first girls’ softball league. Maryann also enjoyed sharing the outdoors with her family. Hunting, fishing, ice skating, sledding, swimming, canoeing and hiking trips to the Pocono cabin and lake were family favorites. (She was a good shot, putting over 20 deer in the freezer.) Maryann loved to cook, bake, can, freeze and try new recipes. Every fall the basement was filled with rows and rows of canned fruits and vegetables. Her food preservation techniques were the feature article in an Organic Farming magazine and were highlighted in several Farm Journal articles. The meals for Easter and Thanksgiving were guaranteed to be delicious and tin after tin of Christmas cookies were ready for Santa. At local fairs, Maryann won many blue ribbons for her bread, sticky buns and chocolate cake. She was especially proud the year she won best of show from the Allentown Fair. Maryann loved history and enjoyed being part of Burnside Plantation and The George Wolf
Historical Society. For East Allen Township’s 250th anniversary, Maryann researched and wrote a history book honoring their local history. A Funeral service was held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018 at Schisler Funeral Home, 2119 Washington Ave. Northampton, PA, 18067 with the Rev. Larry E. Burd officiating. The family received friends from 9 to 10:30 a.m. prior to the services. Interment followed in Green Mount Cemetery, Bath, PA. Online condolences may be made to the family atwww.schislerfuneralhomes.com

ligent. 4. Let your staff take the credit for success. 5. Communicate frequently with your staff. 6. Do not run from conflict, it needs to be resolved. Business can be personal, considering most of us work on or with a team. Success depends on understanding, valuing and connecting with human emotion. At the end of the day, the magic happens when team members feel emotionally connected to their boss and their other team members. And an emotional connection leads to loyalty, over the top performance and a genuine interest in service to your customers.

Submitted by ALEXIS CAMPBELL The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) was joined today by the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Silver Spring Township Police Department, and Cumberland Valley School District transportation partners to reinforce the importance of school transportation safety and highlight the potential school transportation challenges posed by changing daylight conditions. The results of Operation Safe Stop, an annual school bus enforcement and education initiative that was held on October 24 this year, were also announced. Operation Safe Stop data revealed that participating school districts and law enforcement agencies reported 147 violations of the law, up from the 120 reported last year.

tions for breaking the School Bus Stopping Law increased from 730 in 2016 to 747 in 2017. “We unfortunately saw more people breaking the School Bus Stopping Law last year so we’re reminding motorists of its importance,” said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. “With additional challenges such as darkness coinciding with more of our students’ school bus ride times and the distraction of the quickly approaching holiday season, it is important that motorists remain vigilant while sharing the road with school buses and students,” The School Bus Stopping Law requires motorists approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, to stop at least 10 feet from the bus. Motorists approaching from all directions are required to stop. However, motorists who encounter a school bus stopping on the opposite side of a divided highway are not required to stop when lanes of the highway are clearly separated by a divider, such as a concrete barrier or grassy median. “The penalties if convicted of disobeying the law are a $250 fine, five points on your driving record and a 60-day license suspension,” said Capt. Robert Krol, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Patrol for the Pennsylvania State Police. “But worse than these penalties, a tragedy could strike if either a driver or a student is not paying attention to their surroundings.” Some safety tips for students to remember while waiting for or loading and unloading the bus include: • Get to the school bus stop five minutes early, so you won´t have to run across the road to catch the bus. • When waiting for the bus, stay away from traffic. • Line up at least five giant steps away from the curb or the roadway to wait for the bus. • Never run after the school bus if it has already left the bus stop. • Never push when getting on or off the school bus. “Student safety at school bus stops is a top priority that requires the cooperation and attention of all motorists,” said Dr. David Volkman, Executive Continued on page 13

in six month, a year, or even five years from now if you keep doing the same thing you’re doing. What’s that going to look like? Recall how your life was five years ago. Is it much different from where you find yourself at this very moment? Can you confidently say that you will be healthier, happier, leaner, and all the rest, in your future like you were even a year ago? I rarely have a patient say that they see themselves experiencing greater increase, joy, health, and strength in the future. Many cannot even imagine themselves thriving nor living without at least three to four costly prescription drugs, lifestyle limitations, and difficulty even caring for themselves. Is this what you are imagining down the road? If it is, then we have to talk! Suppose this very day you decided to make sure that the future, your future, looked very different from the state of being you find yourself today. What would be your first step? What’s the next step and the ones thereafter you would be willing to take to guarantee you will not end up in misery? Understand that nobody has
a crystal ball yet knowing that sickness has skyrocketed since the 1950’s should cause you (immediate) alarm and wake you up to what is coming in mere years from now. There has been a real push in the last decade to blame our genes on the tsunami of sickness. I myself was even enamored with the new science of testing for gene mutations and pin pointing the true causes of dis-ease. Finding ways to turn off the bad genes and turn on the good genes seemed like sound science to me….but is it? When you take a look at the last couple hundred years, I am relatively sure that our genes haven’t changed much. Agreed? So I don’t see bad genes, bad luck, or bad germs as the reason. To be bold, I think it’s mostly bad decisions…. Before you throw tomatoes my way, I am in no way attempting to offend or insult. My only goal, the reason I wake up every morning, is to help every single person in our community live an abundant life feeling healthy and strong, appropriately so, at every stage of life. I do feel that, generally speaking, we are committing a slow suicide with lifestyle choices. To make it extremely personal, YOU may be making extremely poor lifestyle choices and that’s a large part of why you find yourself in the mess you are in. Tough talk. Tough love- in hopes that someone, anyone, will see that I say this in complete love and admiration for each and every one of you. Simply put, we are losing our ability to thrive in our later years because of what we are doing to ourselves this very day. For sure we are eating wrong. Food isn’t food anymore. It’s a creation of matter. But it isn’t just food. It’s also about what we have been thinking and obsessing about. Our minds are so powerful and instrumental in overall health yet we dismiss our daily thoughts as if they have no impact. Another major sickness factor is that not many move correctly or at all much anymore.

Why God Permits Evil
A minister and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums. Said the barber to the preacher, “This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other charaterdestroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things.” The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkempt and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck, and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister, “You can’t be a very good barber or you wouldn’t permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut or a shave.” Indignantly the barber answered, “Why blame me for that man’s condition? I can’t help it that he is like that! He has never given me a chance to help him. If he would only come to my shop, I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!” Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said, “Then don’t blame God for allowing these people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved. The reason these people are slaves to sin and evil habits is because they refuse the One Who died to save and deliver them.” The barber saw the point. “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Have you responded to His invitation?
Is exercise just about going to the gym? What about scrubbing floors, digging gardens, walking, stretching. (Does anybody ever stretch anymore?) And for the record, 60 shouldn’t be the new 80? No, it should be the other way around given all our medical and technological advancements these days. Please take a moment to do a self-analysis of what you may need to work on to improve your health. Maybe it is giving up soda or French fries. Perhaps it is clear that you need to start walking twenty minutes per day. We all have something we need to work on. And I’m sure something will come to mind right away. Good luck and have fun with it. Don’t make it difficult. My best.

Our best friends have hairy legs! November Huey and Paula Is National Adopt a Senior Pet Month We are a brother/sister pair who would like to be adopted together. We are having a pair special in November if you adopt the two of us.
Check out our Facebook or website: www.forgottenfelines.org
A Non-Profit 501(c)(3) NO-KILL Animal Shelter
Dogtime.com November is National Adopt A Senior Pet Month–a month dedicated to helping older pets find loving forever homes. Shelters and rescues across the country hope those looking to adopt a new furry friend will consider adding a senior pet to the family this month. If you care about sweet senior animals, help spread the word throughout November. We can help older pets find homes together. Many people walk into a shelter or scour a rescue’s website hoping to adopt a new puppy or kitten, completely overlooking the perfectly adoptable older dogs and cats in kennels and cages in their search. In many cases, the absolute most difficult group of homeless pets to place are older dogs and cats. Senior pets tend to spend the longest amount of time at a shelter or rescue before finding their forever homes. That’s if they find one at all. Older canines and felines of advanced age have higher euthanasia rates than their younger counterparts. They can often live the rest of their lives out in a shelter kennel.
The benefits of Adopting senior pets There are plenty of benefits to selecting an older pet over a younger one. Because senior pets are typically calmer and less energetic than puppies and kittens, it’s easier to teach them new tricks. In fact, many senior pets are already pros at performing basic commands. Their low-key natures can also make them ideal for households with children. Senior pets are Easier to handle What some adopters of younger pets are unprepared for is what hard work it can be to housetrain a new puppy or kitten. You have to spend copious amounts of time training a new puppy to do their business outdoors or teach a kitten to remember where the litter box is. But older pets have often come to the shelter after years of living in a home, so they are usually already housetrained, saving you from weeks, months, or in some cases even years of stress. Understanding the personality of an animal is key to finding the perfect match for your family and for that homeless pet. While young puppies
and kittens are still developing their personalities, you’ll know right away whether a senior dog is a snuggle-bug or a senior cat is more of an independent spirit. “What you see is what you get,” explains Joplin Humane Society Shelter Services Manager Connie Andrews. “Senior pets take out the guess work about how big a dog will get, what the kitten’s personality will be like when it grows up, or how much energy that puppy will have as an adult.” What do you get when You adopt a senior pet? Adopters who add a senior pet to the family often get an entirely different level of satisfaction from the adoption experience, says Boston. “You are truly saving a life that someone else turned away from,” she explains. “Senior pets have so much love and compassion still to share, and they make the most amazing companions.” Bringing an older pet home from the shelter or rescue can have its own unique challenges, Boston admits. Sometimes, because the pet is at an advanced age, there can be some extra health issues to consider.

“Owning a senior pet is not necessarily ‘cheap,’” Boston explains. “They need regular vet care to insure that they keep their good health, and may need dental care and preventative vet care like blood work.” But that, by no means, should deter someone from adopting a senior pet, Boston says. Depending on breed, lifestyle, and existing
health issues, a senior dog or cat can still have plenty of healthy and happy years to give as your loving companion. Senior pet adopters Don’t regret it Apparently, once an adopter goes senior, many say they would never go back to adopting a young whippersnapper. Senior pets make some of the most grateful adoptees.
