Queenship of Mary Church Returns from 12-Day Pilgrimage through Spain, Portugal, and France
by KERI LINDENMUTH Forty-two members of the congregation of the Queenship of Mary Church in Northampton returned from a 12-day pilgrimage through Spain, Portugal, and France. The immersive, spiritual tour, coordinated by Diane Cortazzo of Go Ahead Tours, followed in the footsteps of medieval pilgrims and visited Christianity’s holiest sites. Father Patrick Lamb served as Spiritual Director of the tour. He directed masses and led the group in prayer.
"Having a priest like Father Lamb, guiding our pilgrimage, concelebrating, giving homilies, stopping in Cathedrals to say a prayer as a group, praying the Rosary on the bus as we went from shrine to shrine...everything he did, stressed the fact that this was a true pilgrimage," said Cortazzo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for members of the Queenship of Mary Church to join Father Lamb on this journey. “We feel blessed that we were able to have this opportunity to
join Father Lamb on this pilgrimage,” said Mike and Mari Gregoris. “It was such an amazing trip. We received many blessings and graces along the way.” The tour started in Barcelona, where pilgrims explored the spiritual sites and architectural wonders of the city. They traveled via cable car up to the secluded Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey. There pilgrims had the chance to see the Black Virgin of Montserrat and explore the monastery. Continued on page 4

School Rules
It seems each week one reads articles regarding school problems, state and federal regulations and various social issues facing teachers, administrators, students and parents. My friend Larry Oberly found school rules that were applied in early Allen Township schools. I wonder what would occur today if they were enforced. What do you readers think about them? 1. School hours between 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. using Lehigh Valley Railroad Standard time. 2. Morning exercises shall commence with the reading of scriptures, prayer and singing. (I recall having students read the Bible for morning exercises when I started teaching at the senior high school. No student ever refused. The Bible was not an issue at the time. 3. Teachers shall be punctual and have their rooms warm at least 30 minutes before the opening of school. 4. Teachers shall influence the minds of students, inspire reverence and love for the name and will of God, respect old age and superiors. 5. Teachers shall suspend students who may be exposed to contagious diseases until the danger has passed. 6. Teachers shall pay attention to neatness of their rooms and ventilate the room properly, being careful to have none of their scholars exposed to a draft. Continued on page 7

ing due to rain runoff. Asphalt on surrounding streets has been swept away, channeling most of the water into Van Norman’s horse pasture. Catch basins have been put in place but continue to collect street debris, affecting the flooding dramatically. Van Norman approached Moore Township supervisors with the recommendation that West Walker Road be fixed to avoid this issue. 85 percent of Van Norman’s property resides in Lehigh Township while 15 percent is in Moore. The flooding issue is occurring on the Lehigh Township portion of the property. Lehigh has yet to assist Van Norman in his suggestions. Moore Township plans to contact Lehigh council members to further assess the situation. The Moore Township Police reported 239 incidents from last month. 27 traffic citations, 5 arrests, 3 reportable accidents, and 3 non-reportable incidents. The Moore Township fire company reported 7 fires, 3 motor vehicle accidents, 21 fire calls and 54 ambulance calls. Moore Township Land Preservation will be hosting their open house on November 8 at 7 p.m. The next supervisor meeting will be held on November 5.

Debris dumped by non-residents Attracting lantern flies By HANNA O’REILLY Moore Township residents only are invited to deposit tree branches behind the borough building to be collected by the First Regional Compost Authority. Recently, individuals from outside Moore Township borders have been dumping their tree materials, which is prohibited. Much of the debris being dropped off by these individuals has attracted lantern flies, branding the piles as contaminated.
H H H
The FRCA will not transport these materials due to the bugs, which will eventually affect the borough building. Surveillance cameras will be watched closely for individuals entering the property. Fines will be distributed accordingly. Allen Van Norman, a Moore Township resident for over 30 years, has run into issues with recent rainstorms. Van Norman’s property at 3420 West Walker Rd. has been experiencing flood-

By KERI LINDENMUTH Northampton’s Mayor Thomas Reenock was named 2018’s “Distinguished Citizen of the Year” by the Boy Scouts. He was presented with his plaque and citations from Harrisburg during council’s meeting on October 4. The Cement Belt Friends of Scouting recognized Mayor Reenock during a benefit dinner in September. He was presented with a plaque displaying five merit badges: labor, community citizenship, national citizenship, crime prevention, and electricity. “I want to thank you all personally,” Mayor Reenock told council. “I could not have done it without your help.” “[This is] a high honor to achieve,” said Councilman An-

is concerned for the safety of his family. He wants to know that his grandchildren can visit and be safe, he said. Although he said Northampton is his home, he does not know how much longer he can remain in the borough. “I love this town, but I do not want to be here,” he told council. Finally, 30 to 40 feet of illegal fencing that stretches from Allen Township into the borough is frustrating some residents. The fence has been standing for over a year, despite complaints and no permit. “I know you want to be polite with Allen Township,” said resident Dave Habracker, “[but] no one seems to want to do anything.”

thony Lopsonzski, Sr. In addition to his plaque from the Boy Scouts, Mayor Reenock received citations from State Representative Zach Mako and State Senator Lisa Boscola. The awards dinner, held by the Cement Belt Friends of Scouting, raised money for new scouts and other scouts in need. In other news, a report from a cursory walk-through of Miller’s Diner was received by Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst from Servpro. The report states there were no visible signs of rodents or pests in the abandoned diner, but mold and decaying food were visible. Servpro is recommending a thorough investigation of the property. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler called the situation “sad.” “It was a beautiful diner,” she said, recalling when lines for a table stretched out the door. So far, attempts to locate and contact the diner’s owners have failed. Also during the meeting, resident John Knight appeared before the board to express his concerns about drug-related issues in the borough. “Would any of you council members like to live next to a drug dealer?” he asked. After several moments of silence, council members responded “no.” Knight said the drug problems in the borough are “bad” and he

Submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society will open six private historic homes and four early buildings 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 week’s historic home is in the heart of the village of Chapman’s. It was built as a “company” home by the Chapman Quarry. The home retains period features such as snow eagles, 6-over-6 windows, wood shutters, front porch and an antique cast iron hand pump. Inside originality abounds as well – especially in the kitchen with original wainscoting and cupboards. Authentic lighting, heirloom pieces and numerous collections make the interior engaging and informative. 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 a huge exhibit of early lighting with expert Wayne Lauciusto. Historic craftsmen will demonstrate, the 153 Civil War Coddington Reenactors will be encamped. Taste and watch hearth cooking, spinning and weaving, iron crafts, early powder horns and flintlocks, and more, such as pony rides and arts and crafts for children. Make this a yearly family destination. There is no
parking or admission fee. A freewill donation may be dropped into our “Preservation Jars” if you wish. There will also be quality crafters selling their wares and fresh greens for sale. The Daily Grind in the Schoolhouse Café will offer food to take with you on the tour, or to enjoy there. Ticket books are available- $25 in advance and $30 day of tour. Booklets will be sold at S. Seem Antiques in Bath, Miller Ace Hardware on RT 329, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth and Bath Drug on RT 512.
Pilgrimmage Continued from page 1
Pilgrims also explored several of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage sites, including La Sagrada Familia by Gaudi, and strolled the Placa d’Espanya. Pilgrims then ventured to Lourdes, a mountain town in France. There they attended international mass in the Basilica of St. Pius X, saw the Rosary Basilica at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, visited the houses of Bernadette, and attended the Torchlight Marian Procession and mass at the Grotto of the Apparition. The third stop on the pilgrimage was Burgos in northern Spain. Pilgrims visited the Burgos cathedral, a UNESCO site, and saw the tombs of El Cid, a medieval military leader and Christian knight.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
Burgos is also a major stop on the Way of St. James, a pilgrimage trail with six centuries of history. Pilgrims from Northampton got to follow in the footsteps of the pilgrims before them by walking several miles of the trail. It was a stop on the tour that Cortazzo calls a highlight. “I realized, as I walked quietly, that pilgrims have walked this same path to St. James' the Apostle's tomb for over six centuries," she said. Then, pilgrims traveled to Santiago de Compostela, the final destination on the Way of St. James. The town once ranked behind Jerusalem and Rome as Christianity’s most important pilgrimage site. Pilgrims not only got to explore the city and enter the Gothic Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, but also got to make their way to the Galician Coast where they saw waterfalls, visited the fishing Village of Fisterra, and viewed the cliffs and lighthouses along the shore. They also attended the Pilgrim’s Mass. The final leg of the tour took pilgrims into Portugal and the city of Fátima. It is in this city that the Virgin Mary was said to have appeared six different times to shepherd children. Pilgrims were able to attend afternoon masses and candlelight rosary processions before departing for home. “A pilgrimage of a lifetime,” is what Karen and Dennis Campbell called the tour. “We met so many wonderful people and visited so many holy sites,” they continued. It was a life-changing trip, said Cortazzo.

Religious or Saved?
George Whitefield, the famous Great Awakening Evangelist, at the age of 16 became convicted of sin. Before learning he had to be “born again,” he tried to erase his guilt by religious activity. Whitefield wrote, “I fasted for 36 hours twice a week. I prayed formal prayers several times a day and almost starved myself to death during Lent, but only felt more miserable. Then by God’s grace I met Charles Wesley who put a book in my hand which showed me from the Scriptures that I must be ‘born again’ or be eternally lost.” Whitefield came to understand Jesus’ words in John 3. He believed and was gloriously saved! After he became a preacher, he spoke at least a thousand times on, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). He fervently desired that all who heard him might experience the transforming power of God’s grace and thousands upon thousands did! Perhaps you are a religious person, yet you know that something is missing. Or, maybe you have been a wicked person and feel there is no hope for you. God says, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). Open the Bible to John, chapter 3, and read for yourself what God has to say. Verse 17 states, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” As you read, pray that God will open your understanding to His Word. Jesus said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved” (John 10:9). Enter in by believing on Him and by calling on Him in prayer, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). Please see more on being “born again” at: www.naog.ws/theway.htm.
Historical Buildings given Opportunity to Display signs in Moore Twp. By HANNA O’REILLY Moore Township has been progressing the Edelman Schoolhouse project. This one room, historical schoolhouse located at 165 Longley Rd. is in the process of restoration. Paint has been scraped from the inside walls, woodwork and ceiling, successfully moving the project closer to completion. This is estimated to cost between $1,500 and $1,800 for the paint removal. The proceeds from Moore Township’s Oktoberfest dinner held on October 11 will be going towards the restoration of the Edelman Schoolhouse project. Moore Township board members feel this year’s Community Day’s weekend was a success. However, the location of many attractions caused issues with parking which tended to be the main complaint amongst community members. Board members stated that this is a great event for the community to meet their neighbors and should not be about the money being made. There is no decision on whether or not the event will take place next year. In other news, many buildings that have been classified as historical are given the opportunity to display a sign on their property explaining the history behind it. Suggestions will be made to building owners of what the signs should say in order to accurately capture each building’s story. Many individuals have been asking what the protocol of joining the board as a new member is. Supervisors choose who joins the board based on who has shown interest. However, to hold voting privileges, the member must be a resident of Moore Township. If not, they can be considered an associate member whose input will still be considered but voting
privileges are invalid. There will be no Historical Commission meeting on October 31. Contact the Borough Building to find out when the rescheduled date will be.
Grow UR BizGoing the Extra mile By CAROL RITTER Did you ever hear the saying, “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have?” Recently, I was sitting outside at a restaurant. The town was busy, the lines were long and the service was slow. I was right at the curb and there was a small amount of garbage in the street. It wasn’t fun looking at the trash while trying to enjoy a nice breakfast. And then there was the plastic bottle. It started out looking like a bottle and ended up smashed to pieces. That wasn’t the biggest problem; it was the sound of cars running over it, people walking and stepping on it and the mild wind blowing it. The customers were clearly annoyed but no one moved. The staff saw it and didn’t pick it up, so I walked out into the street and kicked it over to the top of a sewer drain. It’s the little things that can make or break a company. I have stayed at a hotel where they provide free breakfast, complimentary wine and cheese at 5 p.m. and freshly made chocolate chip cookies at 8 p.m. This place is loved by its guests; they go the extra mile. I once stayed in a hotel that had a small vase on the outside of the door. Every morning someone delivered a rose to my room. I’m still talking about it. They go the extra mile. Or, how about the restaurant that has a unique happy hour with half price appetizers and
October 11-17, 2018 5
drink specials? They too go the extra mile. How about your small business? Are the bathrooms in tiptop shape? Is there garbage lying around? Does your staff notice things like a patron looking lost or someone dissatisfied with their service? Do you take the time to say hello to every single person who enters your business? Training, training, training. Reward your staff for doing something extra without being told. Raise expectations to a new level. Remind staff about going the extra mile monthly. Encourage teamwork, helping one another. And, always set the example yourself. You don’t necessarily have to dress for the job you want but you sure need to perform over and above others to take your position to a whole new level.

Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas on Oct. 12, 1492 . . . It was cloudy with rain overnight on Monday. I hope to see the sun again, but it was warmer. We’ll see how it is when the Halloween parade is held later this month. . . .I’ve been glued to the TV this week, following all the teams in the baseball playoffs. Denver Rockies are out and the Milwaukee Brewers are in so far. They’ll face the Dodgers next. The Atlanta Braves survived on Sunday after losing two to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but on Monday, a misplay in the outfield got things started for the Dodgers, and they led 6-2 after a home run by Machado, so the Braves were eliminated. The Houston Astros won three games against the Cleveland Indians, eliminating them. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees split two and in the third game the Red Sox were ahead 11-1 as of this writing. The playoffs should be wrapped up this week. I predict the Dodgers and Yankees get into the World Series, but we shall see what we shall see. . . . There were plenty of motorcycles in the Bikes In Bath Fest down at Cowling Field on Saturday. . . .Lots of car shows going on these days. It’s always nice to see how the cars changed in style over the years. . . . It will be interesting to see how the kids color in the six pumpkins in Ahart’s coloring contest. Look for them at the service counter when they’re all done. . . . Ye Olde Editor’s high school Class of 1948 will have a reunion tomorrow morning at breakfast. They’re old cronies, but they’re still kicking. Less than half of the class are left.
. . . The new parking lot at the Bath Municipal Building is being used a lot by motorists, when they are going to local businesses. It’s a nice lot with stones at various points. Creativity, I’d say. . . . If you want any fresh veggies from a farm, now that the farmers’ market is closed, Hunsicker’s and Padula’s are the places to go, I reckon. I don’t know what Seiple’s carry . . . . Well, I want to watch the rest of the Red SoxYankees game, so take care, and I’ll be writing y’all next week.

7. Students shall enter and leave the room in a quiet manner, not climb fences or trees, or use profane, indecent or untruthful language. 8. Teachers are expected to see that the foregoing rules are faithfully carried out and any teacher who shall violate or counteract any of these rules or others laid down by the board pertaining to the school may on proof of the fact be discharged. 9. Teachers shall practice such discipline in their schools as would be exercised by a good and judicious parent in maintaining good order and enforcing obedience. I note current teacher handbooks look like an old phone book. When I started my teaching career quite some time ago, my student handout listed eight rules. I expected them to adhere to them and they actually did.

Moore Twp. Land Preservation By HANNA O’REILLY
The Appalachian Trail Park in Moore Township has gone through a few recent changes. Trees have been removed from around the premises to enlarge the parking lot. The new dimensions will now be 65X65. The entrance to the park is now accessible by two cars at a time. Its opening has been expanded to 18 feet. The excavator is to do work this upcoming week on other sections of the park. More details to come.
The Land Preservation committee has received two applications for land to be preserved. The first property is a 13.7-acre parcel located at the intersection of Monocacy and Fox roads. The second property to be reviewed is a 12-acre parcel located along East Scenic Drive. Both properties will be evaluated before further action is taken with their preservation application processes. The committee discussed updates on the Schiavone Park property. The line at the road frontage now comes out 150 feet, making a small alteration to the size. The Land Preservation Committee will be hosting their Annual Land and Open Space Preservation Open House on November 8 at 7 p.m. The event will take place at the Moore Township Municipal Building, located at 2491 Community Dr. in Bath. Laura Baird of the Heritage Conservancy will be giving a presentation on open space and land preservation. There will be a question and answer period following the presentation.

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. “Beautifully nestled among the hills, lies the old-fashioned town of Bath. No stranger ever visits this locality without being charmed with its hills and valleys.” –Asa K. McIlhaney (1899)
Since days of yore, the little town Lies becharming in the dale, With hillsides draped in summer’s gown, Or fashioned white in winter’s veil.
And today, as the days of ancient script, Is yet confirmed the town’s legacy Of “History Nestled With Friendship” In the vale of the storied tree.
And rich in lore, the story is told, Scribed on yellowed pages, Of a “Friendship Tree” from days of old Whose essence survives the ages.
I would like to thank Mayor Fi Mirabito and Bath town council members for choosing my entry as winner of the Bath Motto Contest. And thank you to the contest prize contributors for the many well-appreciated gifts.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Jack Harhart receives Northampton Exchange Club Golden Deed Award By BILL HALBFOERSTER John “Jack” Harhart of Northampton received the 63rd Golden Deeds Award from the Northampton Exchange Club this past Wednesday night at a dinner meeting in the Northampton Banquet & Events Center. Before the presentation was made by club president Wayne Mery, John Yurish, a friend of his for the past six years, told some amazing tales of his experiences with him, which he said were true stories. They drew laughter from
the large audience of Exchangites and guests. After Harhart received a plaque, Wendy Schapich read a dialogue of the recipient of the award, which she read as follows: “Jack Harhart, a lifelong resident of the Northampton area, always gives of his time and talents to make this community a better place.

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. The year was 1954. Our third grade teacher was Mrs. Beatrice Hahn. The classroom was fitted with an upright piano, and Mrs. Hahn was an accomplished pianist. Many mornings we started the day singing songs from her repertoire of favorites, while she accompanied us on the piano. The selections included- “Pony Boy”, “By the Sea”, “Strolling Through the Park” and “Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder”. It was also the era of Walt Disney’s “Davey Crockett” as seen on TV portrayed by Fess Parker. A new sales market of children watching television was discovered, and anything and everything picturing the iconic frontiersman was appealing to many young boys. I’m not sure about the girls. Book bags, pencil cases, lunch boxes, toys, novelties and even clothes were available. Dickie Funk and I both came to school wearing a buck-skin type jacket with arm fringes and a genuine imitation “coonskin cap” complete with tail. Walking back and forth to school, I was sometimes greeted by older folks with a smile, a wave, and a “Hi Davey!”
Allen Township and the Petition of 1748 Submitted by PEGGY MOSER With all the articles and a festival for the 290th Anniversary of the founding of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement (1728), another milestone was overlooked. This year is the 170th Anniversary of the Petition of 1748, where the local settlers asked to be released from Bucks County. Four years later, on March 11, 1752, Northampton County was born. Of the 6,000 local settlers, some Scotch-Irish and Germans were picked to build and staff the courthouse in
Easton. They filled the office of judge, coroner, sheriff, justice, and members of the jury. But it all started with the Petition of 1748, which was 170 years ago this year. For more local history, please contact the Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society in Easton. For more on the founders of this area, please contact Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society at 610-837-1757. Tours are available every Saturday morning until the end of October.

Camping and Court of Honor For Troop 50
submitted by KIRK DECKER Pack, Troop and Crew 50 scouts spent the weekend camping out in the Grove at Salem UCC. The weekend was full of various activities including
building a monkey bridge, cooking meals, scavenger hunt, and lots of fun. Troop 50 had their Court of Honor ceremony Saturday night where many boys received their new ranks.
at some point in the not too distant future, is to only see them for maintenance care to keep them feeling as wonderful as they can. My second goal is to determine which exact nutrients, supplements, and /or food sources their bodies requires at each stage of their life to keep them thriving. Does that sound strange to you? It shouldn’t. What sounds strange to me is having to have maintenance injections and maintenance drugs on a continual basis. Ladies and gentlemen, if anything is getting old it’s the way we look at the aging process. If you have a desire to stay youthful longer, it isn’t a face-lift, it’s broccoli. If we want to live to a ripe old age it shouldn’t mean cholesterol meds and blood pressure drugs. It should be more to-
wards walking and perhaps minimizing the daily morning drink of a 16-ounce Mountain Dew. That makes more sense to me than a lot of what has come our way. Yes, I understand circumstances and situations arise that do not fit into the holistic model quite right. But what does? In the end, the body knows best. It just does. Not for debate. Aging will occur. It’s the natural order of things. Love it. Embrace it. Don’t be angry. For every sunrise, for every sunset, or every breath, be so grateful. My best to you.
