Keystone Cement explains efforts to curb pollution in meeting with Council

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Pink ribbons adorn the Christmas tree at Monocacy Creek Park to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month and as a symbol for the Turn Bath Pink program in Bath this month. Pink ribbons were placed at other locations in the borough.

As a follow-up to Keystone Cement Co. paying a huge fine to the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection over a past pollution issue following installation of new equipment in 2011, several members of the company appeared at Monday night’s meeting of Bath Borough Council.

They said Keystone takes complaints very seriously. One that was noted on Monday was about noise. The resource manager said a sound expert was brought in from Lancaster. Tests were taken at a complainant’s home, Rep. Marcia Hahn’s office, and My Place Restaurant. They went back to the plant, and now the chute that crosses the highway has been wrapped by rubber to reduce the decibel level for the conveyor.

They believe that the sound is very manageable.

“We want to be friendly. Many of our employees live here. We try to do a great job,” an official said.

But a resident of Memorial Drive at Holiday Hill said he hasn’t noticed any difference in

the humming. Council president Mark Saginario also said he has had complaints of dust on Main Street. One employee said sometimes equipment gets overloaded and there is a spillover, which could cause it. Also, trucks that leave the plant stir up dust.

“Keystone is trying to be proactive,” an official told Council.

Mayor Fi Mirabito encouraged dialogue between the plant and members of Council and businesses so that the friendship that has existed for so many years can continue.

Secretary Linda Hahn said she gets complaints after blasting. A seismograph was set up and the plant sound is within state limits, Council was told.

Other Matters • Council discussed the problem of tractor-trailers causing damage to borough streets and going over sidewalks. A “No Trucks – Except Local Deliveries” for W. Northampton St. and Barrall Ave. was discussed.

Bath Council

Continued from page 1 Heckman said thousands of dollars are spent on repairing borough streets and the big trucks are chewing them up. Colonial Regional Police have a weight detector and one trucking company paid a $14,000 fine. Half of that will come back to Bath Borough.

Mayor Mirabito listed other big fines imposed for overweight trucks in Bath.

Huge 53-ft. tractor-trailers are going over sidewalks at Main & Walnut Sts. in making turns, thus endangering pedestrians. “Let them stay on the state roads,” Heckman said. “If we polled the people of town they would not want to pay higher taxes because of road repairs.”

The issue was tabled until next month.

• Lynn Zakos of Bethlehem was interviewed for a position of food inspector in the borough, and approved after some discussion about a health inspector. She will be given a list of things to do, with inspections costing $7 each. Ms. Zakos is also a state health inspector from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

• A vacancy is on the Bath Water Authority board, but was delayed, although a name was suggested.

• Fire Chief Ed Demchak said October is Fire Prevention Month.

The Bath Firefighters will have a demonstration at George Wolf Elementary School. He also urged people to get carbon monoxide detectors now that they are starting up furnaces, and to clean chimneys.

• In his September report, Demchak listed these man-hours: fire calls, 76 for 8 calls (7 in Bath and 1 in Moore); EMS calls, 10; drills, 160; school, 25; administration, 240; equipment repairs, 30; meetings, 45; work detail, 88; fire police, 12, for a total of 686 manhours.

• Council approved Borough Manager Brad Flynn to attend a seminar on grant writing.

• Two persons appeared to speak: Atty. Samuel Murray, who is running for Northampton County judge after being a lawyer for 32 years, and providing services for the county; and Albert Eisenberg, who asked for support of H.B. 1610 and S.B. 974 on non-discrimination of gays and lesbians, saying that employees should be

Public works employees vote to unionize in Bath

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Borough Council president Mark Saginario revealed at Council’s meeting on Monday that the borough employees voted 7 to 1 to be represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union (AFSCME).

He said Council was blindsided by their action, which was discussed at a meeting of the Personnel, Finance & Administration Committee. “We don’t know their demands, including wages, and it could mean a tax increase,” Saginario said. “We will not let this new union structure put a burden on the borough.

Documentation is a must. If the citizens see anything positive or negative about any employee, let us know, so it can be documented.” The employees represented include four full-time, one parttime, and three crossing guards.

Saginario said none of the employees came to Council with any grievances, and there were no complaints concerning work conditions or unfair labor practices.

He noted in a prepared statement that Council has always attempted to provide the employees with the most suitable job aspects and resources to complete their tasks. Council had to rescind three grant applications for parks, road and crosswalks because they can’t earmark the funds until after an agreement is reached with the employees. Also taken out are a fourth part-time laborer, a new truck, and some road repairs. Council also has to look at the benefit package. Currently, the borough pays 95% of the employees’ health care.

Since Council has no idea what the employees will be demanding, the officials don’t know how this will affect the borough and the 2016 budget. “There is a strong possibility that taxes may have to be raised to satisfy the employees and to pay for the maelstrom of legal bills that we are going to incur,”Saginario said.

Instead of a monthly report, a weekly report of activities by the public works department will be required.Council will have a special meeting tonight to discuss the budget.

Who wants to be a millionaire?

Who wants to be a millionaire? I’d say most people do, and that many think that having that kind of money will solve their problems. I’m not sure it will, but having that cash would certainly be fun. Last Sunday I went to the movies and saw The Intern starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Hathaway plays a young entrepreneur who makes it big, fast. It came so fast that her excellence seemed unprecedented and leads to all kinds of problems. The idea for her company came from thinking that women would love to buy clothes online that fit.

“Clothes that fit” – the idea that took her company from average to extraordinary.

Thinking about being a millionaire or thinking about being successful lead you to a road that will not be simple or easy. Here are some ideas that will lead you on the road to success: 1. Write a blog educating people about your services. Tell some stories on your blog.

2. Get published, share more information by writing a book, a newspaper article or op-ed.

3. Network like a ninja. Networking is not about you, but about meeting people and building your brand.

4. Ask others to refer you, but be sure they can explain exactly what you do.

5.Speak in public to teach, educate and get your brand out to the community.

6. Tell the truth, I know so many successful people who don’t do this and it will catch up to you.

7. Follow up like crazy, this is a

common entrepreneurial failure.

People don’t do this enough.

8. Be a referral genius, refer others just to be known as genuine and helpful.

9. Join clubs, boards and groups that meet monthly. It will help you grow your network.

10. Never get comfortable, because it is the kiss of death.

Some call it resting on your laurels. You need to keep a finger on the pulse of what is happening in your market.

11. Be willing to fail. Failure

is part of the game. You need to learn from failure, accept it and get over it.

12. Take some risks. Risk is vital to success. You need to “go out on a limb” to succeed, the rewards will be priceless.

As far as the movie goes, I highly recommend The Intern. It might even give you some ideas for your business.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It has been typical fall weather, nice and cool. Just perfect for this time of year. We had some rain last week, but nothing like the floods they had down in Jersey from that nor’easter. We’re supposed to get rain again on Friday. A little won’t hurt, ‘cause it has been dry for quite a while.

Luckily, that hurricane headed out to sea, more to the east after pounding the Bahamas. It looks like a big freighter went down in the storm and a lot of lives were lost. . . . Let’s hope the weather’s nice for the farm tour all around Northampton County this weekend. It’s really spread out and will probably take both Saturday and Sunday to see it all. Good thing gas prices are down. If you didn’t take notice, prices of gas have dropped a bit of late again, this time down to about $2.25 around Bath. I was down in Easton the other day, and saw stations with $2.13 and $2.15 a gallon, so they must be competing with Jersey’s lower prices. . . . Those Philadelphia Eagles may win another football game this season, if they’re lucky.

What a sorry game they’ve been playing with all those new faces. . . .Philly sports haven’t been doing much for a couple years at least – baseball, basketball, and hockey included. It sure is hard on the fans. . . .Nazareth’s Blue Eagles won over the Northampton Konkrete Kids in a good high school game last Friday. . . .All those Turn Bath Pink events are this Saturday, Oct. 10, starting with the run/walk at 9 a.m., the pet parade at 5 p.m., and the auction at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday at the Bath Fire Social Hall. You don’t wanta miss out on any of these events! . . . .The Christmas tree over at the park on Main Street looks pretty with all those pink ribbons tied to the branches. It’s for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you know. . . . Firefighters in town are getting ready for the Halloween parade on Tuesday, Oct. 20. I’m hoping it warms up just a little bit standing around and watching it at night. . . .Chestnut Street is getting some new businesses. Great to see that activity. We need new businesses in town. Welcome to Bath, folks!! . . . .Didya take notice all those tire tracks on the sidewalk down by the A-Plus?

Man oh man! They’re from tractor-trailers! Anybody walking by there will be crushed as a truck rounds the corner. The handicap

Allentown YMCA offers first public Salt-water pool In Lehigh Valley

by JOE MCDERMOTT The Allentown YMCA/YWCA in September became the first facility in the Lehigh Valley to provide a salt-water pool to members when the changeover from traditional chlorinated water was completed during the annual pool cleaning, and the organization is now replacing the aged floor in the main gymnasium in preparation for winter activities.

President and CEO Jim Finchum said the $40,000 switch to a salt-water system in the pool means a healthier swimming environment for members and provides $5,000 in annual costssavings through a reduced need for chemical cleansers.

“It’s not like ocean water as it is easier on the eyes and the skin and it won’t make swim suits fade in color like traditional chlorine pools,” Finchum said. “Salt-water pools have also been shown to be better for the hair and skin and they are much easier on the environment because there is less waste.”

The salt-water pool opened Sept. 1 and members have enthusiastically embraced the change.

The work also included the addition of a two new filters and a new heat exchanger to moderate the water temperature.

“I've been swimming laps at the Y for about 15 years, two or three times a week. I usually swim for just over an hour,” said long-

time member Ed Gibney of Macungie. “It seemed too good to be true but shortly after that the conversion was completed and the first time I swam, I couldn't believe the difference! No more nasty aftertaste and dry mouth syndrome.

“Another benefit was coming home and not smelling of chlorine for hours afterward,” Gibney added. “I want to thank the staff and board for securing the grants and coordinating this fantastic and modern improvement!”

The gym floor replacement is current underway and is expected to be completed and ready for play by Oct. 12, Finchum said.

The $75,000 cost includes the new flooring and repairs to the roof over the gym. The Y provides a wide variety gym programs for members, ranging from community basketball and volleyball to dance and self-defense classes for both adults and youngsters.

Both projects were funded through grants from the Trexler Trust foundation.

The changes cap two years of capital improvements to the YMCA building at 15th and Fairview streets, including a new roof on the building, updated and enhanced air conditioning system, a new boiler system and heat exchangers that changes our system from steam to hot water.

The Y was built in 1961 and expanded in 1971.

“The overall goal here is to upgrade and modernize our facilities to provide our members with the best and most affordable health, fitness and educational opportunities in the region,” Finchum said. “We are proud of our building and very grateful to supporters such as the Trexler Trust foundation that make so much of this possible.”

Nazareth council discusses a variety of issues

by DAVE SICA The first discussion at the October 3 Nazareth Council workshop meeting regarded the Nazareth “circle.” It was decided that groups need to get permission each year for events held in town, as opposed to their permission rolling over from year to year. Many different groups hold events and gatherings in the circle and need to seek approval annu-

ally.

The Fire Committee had no motions, but councilman Lance Colando brought a few issues to the table. Mainly the damage to the tower ladder truck, which councilman Brian Regn said might not be taking care of to the Fire Department’s liking.

Paul Kokolus said the council was aware of the issue.

cilman John Samus said that he and mayor Carol Strye surveyed the work on Mauch Chunk Road and Progress Avenue. The only thing left to do, according to Samus, is to put up “No Parking” signs. There will be a motion to advertise for the work forthcoming.

During the Ecology Committee meeting, a discussion about the electrical work that needs to be done in the circle ensued. The issue revolved around new wiring that needs to be run underground versus the overhead wiring that already exists. The cost of the project, after one bid, was near $100,000. After some debate, council decided to table the issue and wait to seek new bids in the spring.

Secretary Paul Kokolus discussed getting grants for the borough. The deadline is November 1. All budgets from committees are due between October 16 and October 18. Nazareth was awarded two grants in the past year, but the Progress Avenue and parking lot projects cost an unexpected $37,000 and $87,000 respectively. Council is considering borrowing the remaining balance.

A loan with 3 percent interest is available

God Answers Prayer!

Captain Johnson was serving as chaplain on an island in the South Pacific during World War II. While returning from a successful mission several hundred miles away, the plane began to lose altitude and the engines faded out. They landed safely on a strange island and learned that the enemy was located only one-half mile in each direction, yet the landing had gone undetected. The staff sergeant came to the chaplain and said, “Chaplain, you have been telling us for months of the need of praying and believing God answers prayer in time of trouble, and that He does it right away. We're out of gas--base several hundred miles away--almost surrounded by the enemy.”

Johnson began to pray claiming God’s promises and believing for a miracle. Night came and the chaplain continued his intense prayer. About 2 a.m. the sergeant awakened and felt compelled to walk to the water's edge. He discovered a metal float, which had drifted onto the beach--a barge on which were fifty barrels of highoctane gas. In a few hours the crew reached their home base safely.

An investigation revealed that the skipper of a U.S. tanker, finding his ship in sub-infested waters, had his gasoline cargo removed so as to minimize the danger in case of a torpedo hit. Barrels were placed on barges and put adrift 600 miles from where Johnson and the plane crew were forced down. God had navigated one of these barges through wind and current and beached it fifty steps from the stranded men!

Coincidence? Hardly! God answers the prayers of the humble and righteous! The Bible promises, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry” (Psalm 34:15). “The salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble” (Psalm 37:39).

Phantoms enter regular season on a winning note

by TONY ANDROCKITIS (@TonyAndrock_TCG) The Lehigh Valley Phantoms dropped the first two games of their preseason schedule, but finished the weekend off with a 4-3 win over their rival, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, to head into the start of the 201516 American Hockey League (AHL) regular season on a positive note. The Phantoms begin their 2nd AHL season in Allentown on Saturday night, October 10th at the PPL Center against the Syracuse Crunch.

“It's always nice to win games,” forward Petr Straka said after Sunday’s win over the Penguins.

“It's preseason, but still it was the last preseason game - it's going to be the feeling you want going into the regular season. We are going to bring it on Saturday.”

The Phantoms begin the season under the direction of a new head coach in Scott Gordon. There are plenty of new faces on the Phantoms’ roster this season as well, but they do return leading scorer Nick Cousins and promising prospects Taylor Leier, Robert Hagg and Shayne Gostisbehere.

The Philadelphia Flyers management made it a mission over the summer to not only re-tool the depth of the organization, but add several quality depth players to supplement the young talent they have waiting in the AHL. Guys like forwards Tim Brent, Chris Conner, Colin McDonald and Aaron Palushaj, defenseman Davis Drewiske and goaltender Jason LaBarbera have given the Phantoms a solid group of veterans to help mentor the prospects this season. The mix of veterans and prospects has the Phantoms optimistic heading into the 201516 season.

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

Amidst all the uncertainty of a new head coach and a major roster re-tooling, one thing is certain. The Phantoms need to get off to a good start this fall and avoid missing the Calder Cup Playoffs for the 7th straight season – something that the coaches and players alike are both well aware of.

“We have to get off to a good

start,” Palushaj said of the upcoming season. “In any league you play in, your first couple games are crucial. It gets you off on a good start, you feel good about your game and build off that.”

Head coach Scott Gordon had a little different expectation placed on his team before they begin the season.

“A fast start for any team is crucial. That doesn't change because we haven't made the playoffs in the past,” Gordon said. “To me, it's a process. I think the biggest thing is from day one we want to keep getting better until the end of the season and if it works out that we are in the playoffs and moving towards the Calder Cup that's the bonus out of all of it.”

It’s the best time of the year.

-Nick Cousins

---------------------------------“It’s a new start for everyone in here,” Cousins said. “Guys are looking to make a good first impression, get into game action to show their stuff and show what they can do. It’s the best time of the year, the most exciting time of the year and everyone is ready to get going this season.”
