Bath Council tables Rental property Inspection discussion By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Bath Borough Council on Monday voted 6 to 1 to table further discussion of the controversial proposal for a rental property registration/ inspection program so that a committee of Council can study it more. The borough will, however, take residents’ input to the committee and, after coming to some conclusions, will have a public meeting that will be advertised. Property owner David Longenbach did open discussion on Monday asking why the action is being considered. Councilman Mark Saginario responded that it would benefit the citizens, and conceded that Council hasn’t gone into the specifics of it to make an educated decision.
----------------------“I try to remain neutral, but if there’s a violation, there’s a violation.” Dennis Huth, Zoning Officer -----------------------
Longenbach asked who would supervise the program and what about liability, remarking that the insurance company that he has an agreement with sends a representative every two years to inspect his property at no cost. Saginario said Council must do an analysis on what it will cost. Councilwoman Jennifer George showed photos of improper wiring and other safety issues, and noted that
the committee wants to examine the best position to take. Saginario said he hears a lot of questions, both from residents and other members of Council, and said it could be a factor in preparing the 2015 budget. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts said landlords worry about how much it will cost them. Options are on the table, but figures such as $100 to $150 per unit were noted. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman said she would like a minimum fee. Professional View After all other business was transacted on Monday, Mrs. George asked Zoning Officer Dennis Huth if he had anything to say. He told about the Property Maintenance Code and H.U.D. (federal Housing & Urban Development) inspections. “The important thing is to check for safety,” Huth said, like finding missing smoke detectors, exposed wiring, and other safety issues. In his experience, inspectors work off a check list and inspections usually take about 20 minutes for a property, but could take as much as an hour or an hour and a half. They inspect every year, sometimes three or five years. There are registration and application fees. Huth said he hasn’t seen much objection by landlords to the inspections in Bangor and Roseto, except those who have a lot of units. “Landlords should know any problems that may exist,” he said.

PennDOT resurfaces S. Chestnut Street in Bath By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
After many years of deterioration since the laying of sewer lines, South Chestnut Street in Bath Borough was completely re-surfaced with a layer of blacktop on Thursday. It was not without its complications, for with all the heavy equipment brought to the scene by PennDOT and the blacktopping itself, all other roadways into and out of Bath were tied up in lines of traffic throughout the day. “Detour” and “Road Closed” signs were posted, and PennDOT employees kept traffic moving as best they could. No accidents were reported, as drivers patiently waited in line until either the traffic lights at three intersections turned green or flagmen held up red cloth- draped sticks and waved the vehicles
on, many of them tractortrailers. Four state highways go through Bath, Rts. 512, 987, 248 and 329. The old surface of blacktop, which covered the original concrete street, had to be torn up and removed by a big machine that conveyed it into huge dump trucks to be carried away. That in itself stopped vehicles in their tracks as the trucks came to the W. Main & S. Chestnut St. intersection. After the old blacktopping was removed, tar was applied to the concrete base, and then the new blacktop was laid and smoothed down with rollers. Residents along the street, who have endured the pounding noise of trucks hitting the pothole-ridden street continuously for years, were relieved that the sounds now will be only of passing traffic.

Bath Council Continued from page 1
Huth admitted that it’s a difficult problem – some landlords cooperate and some don’t. “I try to remain neutral, but if there’s a violation, there’s a violation,” he said. Member Reports In reports by Council members and the Mayor: –– Council President Robert Fields noted that blue markings on a curb on the north side of the Bath Post Office should be a 15-minute parking spot and isn’t intended as a handicapped parking space. However, Council will research the issue. . . .He also reported that the owners of Alexandria Manor were disappointed by the poor attendance at their Senior Expo last Wednesday. –– Mrs. Heckman said the BBCP has reconsidered their meeting time. It will be 8 a.m. on the second Monday of the month. . . .She announced that the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce will have a meeting of business owners and managers at 9 a.m., Nov. 14, in the Bath Council chambers to discuss any ideas they may have. –– Mrs. George thanked Mayor Mirabito for a very nice community day celebration. –– Councilman Mike Reph noted that his daughter was at the meeting working on a Girl Scout badge. –– Mayor Mirabito thanked everyone for the great participation in Turning Bath Pink. She announced that she received an e-mail Monday morning that the St. Luke’s Health Network is donating $1,000 to the Turn Bath Pink auction on Oct. 25 and 26 at
the Bath Fire Social Hall. On Monday, she was invited to and was introduced at the State Capital in Harrisburg by Rep. Marcia Hahn for Turn Bath Pink. Other Matters • Catherine Zakos complained about the recent HN report on a fee charged for a class reunion at the Keystone Park pavilion. There is a $115 fee, but the $100 deposit is returned to them after the group leaves was the clarification. She also asked that the borough consider erecting a large bulletin board to let people know events that are scheduled. Council will look into it. • There will be a special meeting of Council at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15 to work on the 2015 budget. • Council voted to purchase a new boiler for the fire department engine house on Center St., using heating oil. The cost is estimated at between $6,000 and $7,000. Darrin Heckman said Christ Church found significant savings by converting from oil to natural gas. However, Fields said UGI would charge $100 a foot for a 250 ft. gas pipeline needed to service the boiler. They may convert to bottled gas later on. • Playground equipment has been purchased with an ESSA Bank grant, and it will be installed in the spring. • On snow removal this winter, Saginario recommended odd/even parking for snow clearance. Snow emergencies will be declared either by the Mayor or himself as emergency management coordinator. Mrs. Roberts cited a problem at Old Forge, the way cars are parked and the need for emergency vehicles to get through.

• The building at 224 W. Main St. has been a topic for two years, and Council discussed plans that could be worked out with Pa. DCNR and their grant. Mrs. George said recreational opportunities should be added and Mrs. Heckman also offered a plan that could be worked out on another property. • Fields reported that Stacy Smith has been hired as the 25th officer by Colonial Regional Police. He also noted that because of less incidents and the borough’s population, Bath’s share of the budget is expected to be at least $8,200 lower. • Mayor Mirabito is worried about the dangerous intersection of E. Northampton St. and Christmas Ave. Mrs. Roberts cited the left turn at W. Main and Northampton Sts. where no motorist heeds the 25 MPH speed limit. Other intersections are being considered for traffic signals, Boro Manager Tom Petrucci reported.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 Vacation
about a policy that gives your employees more to say about their work environment. Here are some ideas:
By CAROL RITTER
Can you imagine having unlimited vacation? I remember the days when Bethlehem Steel gave 13 weeks vacation to their workers who served, I think, 20 years at their employment. It was the benefit many steelworkers loved the most. My father-in-law couldn’t wait to schedule his 13 weeks; he bought an RV and planned to travel the country from sea to shining sea. I remember he had to take them consecutively so he took off the whole summer and away him and his family went. This week I read on Twitter that the founder of Virgin, Richard Branson, announced that his employees were given unlimited vacation if they simply got their work done. Employees can take off a few hours, days, weeks or a month without asking for permission. He seems to be a benevolent leader, cares about his employees and knows that content employees drive more creative ideas, as well as more commitment to the organization. Branson says, “It’s so important to be a good listener.” I’m going to guess that there aren’t many companies with a policy of this nature, but you might want to think
1 Being the boss doesn’t mean you know everything, ask your staff for advice. 2 Our most desired need as human beings is to feel important; you can create an atmosphere of importance and value for your staff. 3. Many businesses know the value of working on a team, team members need to be trained - make training a priority. 4. Lastly, be consistent so your employees know how to answer your customers without coming to you for every little thing. Unlimited vacation may not be a reality for you, but I can’t think of a person who wouldn’t like a crack at trying that new policy. To vacation or not vacation, that seems to be the question.

1,250 Miles to Visit Horner’s Cemetery
By PEGGY SPENGLER-MOSER orner’s Cemetery had guest visitors from Lincoln, Nebraska. Richard and Ann Kirk drove 1,250 miles to visit, and place flowers on, the grave of Ann’s patriot descendant buried in Horner’s Cemetery, in Northampton. The retired couple stayed long enough to tell us more about their visit. She said, “We traveled the old fashion way, using maps. The GPS was only used to find specific addresses, like the cemetery.” Three days after leaving Nebraska, they drove through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and arrived in Shippensburg, PA to visit the Historical Society there. The patriot grave they came to visit was Moses Hemphill, her six-time great-grandfather. He was an immigrant from Ireland. When Gen. George Washington asked for militia soldiers, Moses responded. Out of the 16 founding families, the settlement had 15 Revolutionary War veterans. The average came out to be one person in each family volunteered their lives for the cause of colonial independence. When this author asked her why the long trip to Northampton, she said,“after finding that my relative served in the Revolutionary War, from a list of names, I decided I wanted to visit the grave at some point in my life.” As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Ann contacted the Bethlehem Chapter. She was told to call this author. On day two, in the high weeds, this author found the tomb stone she asked to be photograph. When Ann arrived at Horner’s Cemetery, she said she was so excited. She said the entrance looked just like the photograph this author sent to her, so she knew she was in the right place. She said the cemetery itself looked great. Nothing like the pictures when it was found abandoned. That is when Ann learned that her request, for the photo of a tombstone, started a restoration project of the cemetery. When she went to Moses Hemphill’s grave for the first time, she said she had a very strange feeling. Ann said, “I was amazed that Moses stone was legible and in good condition.” On the return trip, Richard and Ann stopped at Gettysburg for several hours, stopped at Hershey for some chocolate, spent the night in Somerset, PA, and made a somber visit to the Shanksville, PA plane crash memorial. This author asked the couple if they were going to revisit to see the homesteads of her relatives. Ann said, “we like to travel, but I think that our long distant travels by car are over.” Saturday, Oct. 18, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m., is the 286th Anniversary Celebration of the founding of Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement (1728), with Historic Tours of Horner’s Cemetery (1745) at 4965 Nor-Bath Blvd. Northampton. There will be an old photo album of pictures never seen before photos of the old homes. There will be plenty of tables and handout sheets pertaining to the lives and homes of the founders of Northampton Co. 1728. Craig’s Settlement is the first permanent village in Northampton Co. Horner’s Cemetery is the oldest in Northampton Co. For more information or questions, please call 610-837-1757.

Outdoors Manhunt Places Hunting Seasons On Hold
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has temporarily closed all hunting and trapping seasons within seven townships in northeastern Pennsylvania, where the search continues for a fugitive wanted in the shooting death of a state police trooper. Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough last week issued an executive order to close temporarily the hunting and trapping seasons within Price, Barrett and Paradise townships in Monroe County; and Blooming Grove, Porter, Lehman and Greene townships in Pike County. View map. The townships all are within Wildlife Management Unit 3D. The closure affects all private and public lands, including the portions of State Game Lands 180, 183 and 221 located within those townships. Those portions of game lands are closed to all public access while the executive order is in effect. Hunting and trapping seasons will remain closed in the identified townships until the executive order is lifted, which will be announced by the Game Commission in a statewide news release that will be posted on the agency’s website at the time it is issued. The closure was initiated after the Pennsylvania State Police advised that troopers who are part of the search for fugitive Eric Frein had uncovered explosive devices that apparently were left behind in wooded areas by the fugitive, and would pose an obvious danger to anyone who would encounter them. Hough said the discovery of the devices, and the danger associated with the search effort in general, would pose too great a risk to hunters, trappers and members of the general public.
“While we realize this temporary closure might disappoint some of the hunters and trappers it affects, we’re certain, too, they understand the gravity of the situation, as well as the danger in allowing the seasons to continue as scheduled, given this new information,” Hough said. “Plenty of good hunting and trapping opportunities remain outside of the temporarily closed area, and we need hunters to readily adjust their plans to help bring resolution to this case and see that justice is served.” Frein is wanted in the Sept. 12 ambush-shooting death of Pennsylvania State Police Cpl. Bryon Dickson II outside the state police barracks in Blooming Grove, Pike County. Trooper Alex Douglass was wounded in the attack. The search for Frein has continued since, and police recently discovered explosive devices – at least one of which was attached to a trip wire – in the area they were searching. The Pennsylvania Game and Wildlife Code authorizes the Game Commission to close any hunting or trapping season, or otherwise take necessary action, to assure the purposes of the code, including assuring the health and safety of the persons who hunt or take game and wildlife. The Game Commission earlier last week issued an advisory to those who might be planning to hunt in the area of the search, and indicated that the seasons would continue as scheduled, but the recent findings by state police changed the circumstances. Game Commissioner James J. Delaney Jr. , who represents Pike, Monroe and other northeastern Pennsylvania counties as part of the eightmember board that sets policy for the Game Commission, said the temporary closure is supported in full by the commissioners and is necessary given the totality of circumstances. By closing the hunting seasons in the area of the search, the Game Commission hopes to remove any risk to human safety, and ensure there will be no interference in the effort to apprehend Frein. “The suspect has demonstrated a disregard for human life,” Delaney said, “The safety of the law-enforcement

Statewide Archery Season
Pennsylvania’s archery deer season began Saturday, Oct. 4, and its return is prompting the Pennsylvania Game Commission to issue some helpful reminders. Archers can hunt for antlered or antlerless deer from Oct. 4 to Nov. 15, and during the late archery deer season, which runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 10. This is a statewide season, however, as announced previously, all hunting and trapping seasons, including the statewide archery season, have been temporarily closed within seven townships in Pike and Monroe counties. Details of the closure are available in Oct. 1 news release (Release #85-14) available at the Game Commission’s website. At the time of the statewide opener, archery hunters in three urbanized areas of the state will have had a twoweek head start to their seasons. Again this year, an early season for antlerless deer was implemented in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D. That season kicked off on Sept. 20. Bowhunters in WMUs 2B, 5C and 5D, also may take antlered and antlerless deer during an extended late archery season, which runs from Jan. 12 to Jan. 24. Archery hunters may use a long, recurve or compound bow, or a crossbow. Bows must have a draw weight of at least 35 pounds; crossbows must have a minimum draw weight of at least 125 pounds. The Game Commission encourages hunters to spend as much time as possible afield this fall prior to and during the hunting seasons to pattern deer movements and identify areas where fall foods are abundant. “Scouting during the preseason does much to improve early season success,” Game Commission Executive Director R. Matthew Hough said. “But even after the season begins, observations made
while hunting on a given day often increase chances of future success. Hunt as often as you can, and have a great time doing it.” Those participating in the archery seasons are urged to take only responsible shots at deer to ensure a quick, clean kill. For most, that’s a shot of 20 yards or less at a deer that is broadside or quartering away. Archery and crossbow hunters should shoot only at deer that are within their maximum effective shooting range – the farthest distance from which a hunter can consistently place arrows or bolts into a pie pan-sized target. Hunters may use illuminated nocks for arrows and bolts; they aid in tracking or locating the arrow or bolt after being launched. However, transmitter-tracking arrows still are illegal. Tree stands and climbing devices that cause damage to trees are unlawful to use or occupy unless the user has written permission from the landowner. Tree stands – or tree steps – penetrating a tree’s cambium layer cause damage, and it is unlawful to build or occupy tree stands screwed or nailed to trees on state game lands, state for-
ests or state parks. Hunters are reminded that Game Commission regulations limit the placement of portable hunting tree stands and blinds on state game lands from two weeks before the opening of the first big game season – which is the archery deer season – to two weeks after the close of the last big game season – which is the late archery deer season – within each respective Wildlife Management Unit, excluding the spring gobbler season. Stands must be removed from state game lands two weeks after the late archery deer season. Safety tips for bowhunters include: · Make sure someone knows where you’re hunting and when you expect to return home. Leave a note or topographic map with your family or a friend. Pack a cellular telephone for emergencies. · Always use a fall-restraint device – preferably a fullbody harness – when hunting from a tree stand. Wear the device from the moment you leave the ground until you return. Don’t climb dead, wet or icy trees. Stay on the ground on blustery days. Keep yourself in good physical condition. Fatigue can impact judgment, coordination and reaction time, as well as accuracy. · Always carry a whistle to signal passersby in the event you become immobile. A compass and matches or lighter and tinder also are essential survival gear items to have along. An extra flashlight bulb also can be helpful. · Use a hoist rope to lift your bow and backpack to your tree stand. Trying to climb with either will place you at unnecessary risk. · Don’t sleep in a tree stand! If you can’t stay awake, return to the ground. · Always carry broadheadtipped arrows in a protective quiver. · If you use a mechanical release, always keep your index finger away from the trigger Continued on page 7

when drawing. · Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for all equipment and check your equipment before each use. · Practice climbing with your tree stand before dawn on the opening day of the season. Consider placing non-slip material on the deck of your tree stand if it’s not already there. · Never walk with a nocked, broadhead-tipped arrow or bolt. · Cocked crossbows should always be pointed in a safe direction.
Hunting in Disease Management Areas
Archers hunting and harvesting deer within any of the state’s three Disease Management Areas (DMAs) must comply with special rules aimed at slowing the spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) in Pennsylvania. High-risk deer parts – essentially the head and backbone/spinal cord – may not be transported outside the DMA. Harvested deer can be taken to a cooperating taxidermist or deer processor associated within a DMA, and the processed meat and/or finished taxidermy mounts may be removed from the DMA when ready. Successful hunters who intend to do their own processing and who need to transport deer meat or other low-risk parts outside a DMA may stop by one of the many high-risk parts disposal sites established within the DMAs. A list of those sites and their exact addresses or GPS coordinates are available on the CWD information page at the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us. Lists of cooperating processors and
~ Coming Soon ~ Monday, Oct. 20 10 AM – 2 PM
taxidermists also are available on that page. Successful hunters who live in a DMA also may use the high-risk parts disposal sites, but those hunters can also dispose of high-risk parts by bagging them with household trash and sending them for disposal. Regardless the method of disposal, hunters are asked to do their part to make sure high-risk parts end up in a landfill and away from freeranging deer. Because CWD can be passed from deer to deer through direct as well as indirect contact, and because the prion that causes CWD can live in the soil – perhaps forever – hunters should understand that dumping deer carcasses on the landscape only increases the risk of spreading CWD. The state’s three DMAs are the result of deer in those areas testing positive for CWD, which is fatal to deer and elk, but is not known to be transmitted to humans. DMA 2, which encompasses about 1,600 square miles in Bedford, Blair, Huntingdon Cambria and Fulton counties, is the only DMA in which CWD has been detected in free-ranging deer in Pennsylvania. DMA 1, which encompasses 600 square miles in York and Adams counties; and DMA 3, which totals about 350 square miles in Jefferson and Clearfield counties, each were established after CWD was detected in captive deer. Maps detailing the perimeters of the DMAs also are available at the Game Commission’s website. Hunters within DMA 2 are reminded the DMA has been expanded this year. Also, DMA 2 Antlerless Deer Permits remain available and can be purchased through The Outdoor Shop on the Game Commission’s website. The permits can be used only within DMA 2 and cost $6.70 each. More information on CWD is available at the Game Commission’s website.

News Sermonette Pastor Daniel Lundmark Northampton Assembly of God
Is God First In Your Life? God requires that we put Him first in our lives. The first commandment states, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). We need to ask ourselves, “What evidence is there that I am honoring God as first in my life? Do I honor Him first in my day? Do I recognize Him first thing in the morning by speaking to Him in prayer and by honoring Him in listening to Him speak to me through His word? Do I honor Him first in my week? Do I make it a priority to seek and worship Him with other believers as commanded in Hebrews 10:25 “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together” on “the first day of the week” (John 20:19, Acts 20:7)? Do I honor Him first in my finances? God has made it clear that a tenth of our income belongs to Him,“All the tithe…is the Lord's” (Leviticus 27:30). God commands us to tithe as an acknowledgement that everything we have comes from and belongs to Him, “Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase…that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always” (Deuteronomy 4:22-23). Interestingly, God places an emphasis on paying to Him the first of our income as a tangible evidence that we are putting Him first in our lives, “The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the LORD” (Exodus 23:19). “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him” (1 Corinthians 16:2). When we put God first in our finances, He promises to bless us financially. “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty” (Proverbs 3:9-10). When we put God first in all areas of our lives, Jesus assured us that our “heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things” (food, water, clothing, etc.). He promises, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:32-33).

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip The two big things for Bath this week were the Community Day events on Saturday, and the re-surfacing of South Chestnut Street. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito got us thinking early in the year about turning Bath pink, a big part of community day this year, but the state highway department finally coming in with all their big equipment and blacktopping that busy street with all its potholes, that’s been a headache for a real long time. The crew worked all day Thursday on it and finished up on Friday. What a relief that is! It had drivers bumper to bumper on most of the streets, but it seems to me they were pretty patient. I reckon these days they’re used to backups during rush hour so it was just another day on the road. . . .Anyhow, back to Community Day. It did rain some early in the morning, but the sun came out later on and the show went on without missing a beat. Folks
had plenty of walking along the grounds of Keystone Park, checking out all the vendors, stopping at the stands for something to eat then or to take home, listening to the gal playing a guitar in the gazebo, and for the young’uns to get on the swings. Over at Roger Rehrig’s Thirst Quenchers lot, there was a pink fire engine with names of people who had survived cancer or in memory of those who had died from it, and the MillerKeystone Blood Bank van was parked next to the fire company social hall taking in blood donations. The final event of the day was a real fun time with all the dogs dressed in pink for a parade on Poplar Street. Mary Kositz and her committee did a real nice job of running it, and Fran Bensing made sure the pets were lined up according to number, and she had the spectators stand on the sidelines as the pets and their owners walked down the street to

the judges’ stand. Marty Beal had his kids with their dog in memory of Marty’s wife Karen, and there were others in memory of loved ones, I’m sure. . . .Hats off to everybody who participated all day!!! It was a great day for Bath, and thanks to Mayor Fiorella for getting it all started. There’s more to come this month, so don’t miss out on any of it!!! This Saturday is the 5K run/ walk starting on Allen St. at Ciff Cowling Park and then on the 18th is the human ribbon event at George Wolf School . . . .It was nice to see the picture in last week’s paper about the 5th grade class reunion from Wolf School over at the Keystone Park pavilion. Great to see that Betty Gehring, their music teacher, was a part of it. She’s 95 now, I hear, and is living over Whitehall way. Congrats to her!! That was the reunion of the 1947-1948 fifth grade class. This Friday is the reunion of the Northampton High School Class of 1948, seven years older than those folks. . . . This Saturday and Sunday is the annual tour of farms all over Northampton County. A great time to hop in the car and take a ride to see what all the farmers are featuring. It’s rain or shine, but let’s cross our fingers and hope for plenty of sunshine. . . .Sorry to hear about the passing of Dwight Diehl. His parents were “Tubby” and Lorraine Diehl. He was living out in Henderson, Nebraska. . . . Game Commission did what I figured. No archery hunting in the area where the cops are looking for Eric Frein. Makes sense. Maybe the colder it gets, it will flush him out. . . .In the baseball playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Los Angeles Angels, Baltimore Orioles beat the Detroit Tigers, L.A. Dodgers and St. Louis are still at it, and Washington won 4-1 on Monday after the San Francisco Giants took the first two games. . . .In the NFL, the Eagles were lucky to escape by the skin of their teeth with a win on Sunday vs. the Rams. I hope I’m wrong this week, but I predict a 35-17 score for the N.Y. Giants . We’ll see. . . .Weather forecasters say rain Friday into Saturday again. Bring your umbrellas, if needed, but let’s cheer the runners on in Bath and wear your pink!! See ya.

5K Run/Walk Saturday Starts at Allen Street And Ciff Cowling Park
The Turn Bath Pink 5K run/walk will be this Saturday, Oct. 11 beginning at 9 a.m. It starts from Allen Street at nearby Ciff Cowling Park and goes through the borough for an estimated three miles. A flier on the event asks that people come out and support the runners and walkers as they walk past your house. They ask that people set up chairs on their sidewalks, stand outside their homes, and make some noise as the runners/ walkers go by them. If you have a flier, it says to visit the sponsor, the Daily Grind on E. Main St., and receive a small cup of coffee. The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proceeds from the event benefit the American Cancer Society. “Believe And Think Hope!” in the effort to cure cancer.

Phantoms Prepare For The Penguins By TONY ANDROCKITIS The Home News Sports
The Lehigh Valley Phantoms begin their first season as an American Hockey League (AHL) franchise this Saturday (October 11th) when they visit in-state rival Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Penguins to open the 2014-15 regular season.
The Phantoms’ first home game of the regular season at the newly constructed PPL Center – takes place on Friday, October 17 against the team that used to house the Philadelphia Flyers top affiliate, the Adirondack Flames (previously the Adirondack Phantoms). The Phantoms will travel to
Glens Falls, New York the next night to finish the home-andhome weekend series with the Flames as the road team at the Glens Falls Civic Center – the Phantoms’ home venue from 2009-14. Despite going winless in the preseason, there is quite a buzz surrounding the new team and arena. “I like the way things are starting to come together,” Phantoms head coach Terry Murray said following their preseason finale Saturday vs. Albany. The Flyers have brought in some successful veterans and have several incoming rookies at the AHL level including forward Scott Laughton, defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Robert Hagg and goaltender Anthony Stolarz. The Phantoms only scored
a total of three goals in their three preseason games, but with the lineup taking shape heading into the opening game, the team can begin to work on fine-tuning the forward lines
Over 35 Yrs. Experience
and defense pairings. They have a week of practice preceding Saturday’s season opener to build some chemistry and begin to gain some familiarity with their teammates. “That’s what we are going to be talking about and practicing for,” Murray said of their season opener Saturday in Wilkes-Barre. “We’ve got enough veterans around that know the deal and they have to spread the message and the word to the young guys and make sure that everybody is pushing each other in practice to get themselves ready for that game.” One of those veterans is forward Andrew Gordon – a 7th year pro who was on two Calder Cup Championship winning teams while with the Phantoms’ other intra state rival, the Hershey Bears. Gordon tallied 56 points (23 goals and 33 assists) while appearing in all 76 of the St. John’s IceCaps regular season games last season. He was also a leader in the postseason, tallying 19 points (8 goals and 11 assists) and helping his team advance all the way to the Calder Cup finals before the Texas Stars won it all last season. The Phantoms should look to lean on Gordon this season and hope he brings the success from his past to his new team in the Lehigh Valley. “Every game is important to us, and we want to make sure we are bringing a product that we are proud of every night,” Gordon said. “We want to start fresh here, bring the work ethic, put some pride in these jerseys here in Allentown and start something of our own.” Follow Tony’s Phantoms coverage on Twitter - @TonyAndrock_ TCG License # PA003267

By JANA BOSKEY The October 2 council meeting in Northampton saw a full house of concerned Main Street residents. Nearly everyone at the meeting was there for one reason: the Edelweis Haus, a bar on the 700 block of Main Street in the borough. Twelve people took the floor, four in support
of the bar, including the owner Tanya Hamlin, and eight to levy complaints. The Edelweis Haus, an Austrian and German-themed bar that was only open a few nights a month originally closed its doors in August of 2006. In March of this year the bar reopened under new ownership. That’s when

neighbors say the problems with noise began. The bar’s immediate neighbor, Michelle Fox, claims to have had issues since the first night the Edelweis Haus was open. She has complained to the police multiple times, even prompting the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to open an investigation on the bar. Hamlin assured Fox that soundproofing would be installed by August, and now that it is October and still not installed Fox is worried about it getting done. She says that she can hear loud music and even people playing pool every night of the week in her home. Fox stated that she never received any follow up to her original complaints to authorities. “You’re entitled to follow up if you contacted them and they spoke about having a court hearing,” Councilmen Ed Pany told Fox. “It is wrong on their part.” Chad Deutsch, a bouncer at the bar, explains to council that the LCB has been there and there has not been one complaint filed against them. He also addresses the accusations of beer cans littering Main Street, stating that they do not sell cans and that no alcohol is allowed to leave the building. “There is not one problem in that place,” Deutsch says. To which Pany interjects, “Sir, are you saying that all of the complaints we are hearing tonight are invalid?” Deutsch concedes that a few of the complaints are probably true, with people being outside of the bar and the music being too loud, but they have never had a citation written inside of the bar according to him. When owner Tanya Hamlin took the mic she openly apologized to every Northampton citizen present. She promised to get the soundproofing done once blueprints are drawn and said that the LCB has no open investigations against her business. Tanya also highlighted the good that the Edelweis Haus does in the community, including helping charities raise funds.

Nazareth circle concern addressed at workshop
By DAVE SICA A concerned citizen, Betty Butz, took the floor to discuss what she sees as a problem with Nazareth’s downtown circle. Butz mentioned that some of the plants have been removed and are being replaced by weeds and thistles. The rotary club beautified the circle in 2005 but it has since fallen into what she considers disrepair. Butz reached out to Councilman Frank Maurek and the Rotary Club and still it seemed like nothing was being done. She conceded that there were borough workers cleaning up the circle, but they didn’t touch the “quadrant” that is concerning her. Councilman Larry Stoudt and Council President Dan Chiavaroli explained that it was the Rotary Club who worked on the project and that it was their name attached, so the responsibility likely falls on them. The council agreed to make contact with the Rotary Club to determine the status of the project. Chiavaroli suggested that if the Rotary won’t do it, the borough will. Butz said that she estimated the cost to be from $100 to $250 to clean
up the weeds and thistles. In other business there was a motion made and passed for a $1,000 donation for the Halloween parade. The police also discussed the parade and the park patrol detail being suspended as of September 2014 until further notice. There were also motions for police training, which is free to attend but requires 40 hours of pay for the officers attending. There was a reminder that the police blood drive will be October 20 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the police department parking lot. There was discussion of modifying Nazareth’s handicapped signage throughout the borough. Northampton and other surrounding boroughs will be utilized as examples to determine how to manage the signs. At this time, current signs will be grandfathered in with a reactivation fee of $10. Any new applicants for a sign will have to pay a $50 fee. The council is looking to make the signage state approved, at least needing a handicapped license plate as proof of a need for a sign. However, it was to be understood that getting the signage was not reserved

parking, but parking for anyone with the need and license. It will potentially take a few months to get up and running, but the council was looking to pass something as early as November. Plans for landlord and tenant ordinances will receive a motion to advertise at the next meeting. Registration will be due by January 1, 2015 and the inspections will commence the following year. The council stated that it was important to get control of the situation, as the ratio of rental properties to local ownership was heavily slanted. A survey showed 52 percent of properties in Nazareth as rental properties. Mayor Carl Strye stated that the “landlords own half the town.” In closing, Council Secretary Paul A. Kokolus had bad news regarding the budget for health insurance. There was a projected 52 percent increase, some of which Kokolus said was related to the Affordable Care Act. The hiring of two police officers and being bound by labor contracts also contributed to the hike in rates.

Rifendifer makes furniture from locally reclaimed building materials from contractors and members of the community. “Creating furniture that is made with reclaimed materials is a sustainable way to create new products, which helps the community and the environment,” said Rifendifer.
“I was working as an intern for a local architect this past Christmas and I could not afford to get gifts for my parents or my nephew, who my parents are raising with my help. I decided that I would make them Adirondack chairs made from pallet wood. After posting pictures on my personal Facebook, many of my friends showed a lot of interest and to make extra money I did a few made to order projects and it grew from there.” The other finalists were Dana Lane Photography, owned by Dana Lane of Clinton, N.J.; Occasions by Cindy, Continued on page 13

Jesus Stopped A Suicide Bomber
A “JESUS” film team went into a village in a dangerous, mountainous area with a DVD of “JESUS,” part of the JESUS Film Project, a ministry of Cru. The team gathered about 250 into a community hall. They plugged a small DVD player into a television and closed the windows for secrecy. It was crowded and the screen was relatively small, but everyone stayed and watched the entire film on the life of Christ. Suddenly, a man sitting on the floor stood. He opened his shirt so all could see. Strapped to his chest were explosives—a suicide vest. Panic set in. “Wait…wait! Don’t leave. I’m not going to blow myself up. I need to tell you what just happened. I heard that you were going to show a blasphemous film. My leaders agreed you should die. I strapped on this bomb and came to kill you all. When the film started I reached for the detonator and tried to push the button. But as I watched the film, Jesus turned and pointed right at me. He called my name and said, ‘Don’t do that…follow Me.’ Over and over I tried. Every time I reached for the button He pointed to me and said, ‘Don’t do that…follow Me.’ My hand froze every time. I couldn’t move my thumb. I gave up and just stayed to watch. Now I believe. I want Jesus to be my Savior. Can you help me know more about Him?” The team leader said, “Yes, but first you must take off that vest!” He went out of the building far away and took it off. When he returned, the team prayed for him, but that’s not all. The people had learned of the truth of the gospel for the first time ever. Further, they were amazed by this man’s testimony. He was a radical who would stop at nothing. They knew they had just seen a miracle. When the team leader asked who wanted to receive Christ and pray, everyone did—all of them! The next day, 250 new believers were baptized in their new faith, including the man with the suicide vest!
