Swimming pool committee Makes its recommendations A sketch plan in their slides showed a 50-meter (190-ft.) pool, with diving area and beach access. The present bathhouse would be retained, but updated. Councilman Chris Audenreid, who headed the group, said the sketch plan is not set in stone, and that the project would have to go out to bid. The project will be reviewed by the borough’s property committee. He commended all those involved in carrying on the study. Resident Harry Adams also remarked that residents offered their ideas for a new pool, saying they wanted a simple design with swimming lanes and a diving board. Percentages taken showed 68.3% wanted a pool and 58% would use it. Adams credited the guidance of former borough engineer Donald Keller. He also said that the pool man-

Cherryville General Store back in its’ heyday.
Do you remember The general store In Cherryville?
By: Beverly Putt Of Lehigh Township Historical Society
Recently, I had the pleasure of interviewing Robert Hess of Whitehall. He is the grandson of Preston O. Hess. He had many memories of the general store in Cherryville which was like a mini five and ten cent store. The general store and post office, which was located in the center of Cherryville, was run by his grandfather. He was not sure when his grandfather got the store - he thinks possibly around 1905 or 1906 with what today would be called a lease agreement; he didn't buy the store. In the beginning, he managed it and would give part of the proceeds to the Kress family. He remembered going
to the store when he was a youngster. He would visit his grandparents for a little vacation and helped at the store. He was given things to do such as go to the basement for a jar of molasses or go to the second floor and get a certain size shoe or shirt. He said they always had two barrels of molasses and vinegar in the basement. For each, there were two - one for cooking and one for the table. They had loose candy for one cent apiece in a glass display case in the rear of the store. For five cents, children could buy five different kinds of candy. There was very little packaged food so food items such as beans, cookies, crackers, etc. would be weighed Continued on page 13
A focus group put on a Power Point slide presentation Thursday night to show members of Nazareth Borough Council at their workshop meeting what their recommendations would be in replacing the borough’s present 100 x 200- ft. swimming pool that has been closed down because of filter problems. The group visited seven other community pools, where they asked many questions that might influence their thinking about the new Nazareth pool. They met 10 times themselves and looked over proposals after meeting with consultants. What they came up with was to hire Spillman Farmer Associates to design the facility and Wade Associates to coordinate construction.
agers were very receptive to the committee and unselfishly answered their questions. As things stand now, $2-million is budgeted for all work and materials. It is also believed that programs that are offered by the pool director would have a direct effect on increasing attendance. Either 2014 or 2015 Councilwoman Cindy Werner said she believes that construction companies would want the bid if they can get the pool done by 2014. But she was told it wouldn’t be cost effective to have the pool completed by Labor Day 2014. Hiring of lifeguards and the weather would be a couple factors that could push the project into 2015. Council President Dan Chiavaroli congratulated the committee for their hard work and those in the audience applauded them.

Pets for Older Adults
By: Frank DeRosa
As I work to install a medical alert unit I sometimes find dogs and cats to be annoying as they are often very curious creatures that like to play with my equipment. However I have come to understand that there is much research that shows that older people who have pets enjoy a better physical and emotional life than those who do not. Animals fill a void in the lives of older adults who are alone without friends or loved ones. Those who are responsible for a pet are often more likely to take better care of themselves, because they feel someone is counting on them. I am not suggesting that everyone in their 60’s or older should run out and get a dog or a cat. Obviously some people have allergies that may not allow it and still others just cannot take care of an animal, but believe it or not even a rabbit, bird, or fish may do the trick. A report published in the Journal of Geriatrics Society found that older pet owners are more active, cope better with stress and have a lower blood pressure than seniors without pets. A University of Purdue study found that the presence of an aquarium at mealtimes increased the appetites of Alzheimer’s patients who do not eat enough for good nutrition. In addition, animals are social magnets that draw people together which maybe just what the doctor ordered for someone that is alone and lonely. Animals may also help with some people’s depression and improve their disposition making them more likeable to others. The idea of a pet helping older adults has even led researchers at MIT to begin studies with virtual pets for those people that just cannot take care of a real pet. So if you want to improve your quality of life or the life of someone you know or love, consider a pet.

Syria - Count The Cost
by Pete G. Ossip Labor Day was a bit of a bummer weather wise. We had a thunderstorm during the night, with lots of rain, and then it stayed hot and humid the rest of the day, and you could hear thunder rumblings every once in a while. The Philly area really got socked in with rain during the day, so much that they had flood warnings. We did have our share of rain this summer, enough so that there was no brown grass to be seen. It was green and grew so fast you almost hadta mow every week. Here’s hoping we don’t get as much snow this winter as the rain we’ve had. . . . This Saturday is yard sale day in town, so look for tons of things folks are trying to sell. I know Elmira will have her walking shoes on, getting to all the sales, wherever they are in town. You know what they say: “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.” I see there’s gonna be a rummage sale up in Lehigh township on Sunday, ‘cause they were looking for venders, according to what I read in last week’s paper .

Phillies have been hurting for hitting and pitching this year, mostly hitting, and now I see they traded away Michael Young who’s been hitting plenty of singles lately. Oh well, next year, but if the hitting doesn’t get better, forget about it. They picked up a couple pitchers, but that doesn’t help if they don’t have the hitters to bring in runs. It sure is frustrating. . . . Marty Beal is looking for some more bowling leagues to form down at the Legion. Their season is just starting. . . .

Gov. Wolf Historical Society Fall events Find out what a group of amateur middle school archaeologists discovered last spring when they took part in a dig on the campus of the Gov. Wolf Historical Society, East Allen Township. At the society’s regular meeting, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m., Dr. Douglas Lare of East Stroudsburg University will discuss the project, which involved a professional archaeologist, some East Stroudsburg students and a seventh grade classroom from HarrisonMorton Middle School, Allentown. Dr. Lare and his associate, Allison Rutter, will give a talk and a video presentation about the project, during which the students took part in an actual dig on the society’s campus, unearthed a number of interesting items, and expanded their knowledge of science and history. The meeting will be held in the Monocacy School on the society’s campus, 6600 Jacksonville Road, Bath, just off Route 512. The public is invited. This is just the first of three exciting events happening at the society’s campus this fall.

A Proclamation RECOGNIZING THE FUND RAISING BENEFIT ON SEPTEMBER 7, 2013 FOR THE NATIONAL BRAIN TUMOR SOCIETY IN THE BOROUGH OF NORTHAMPTON. Franklin and Melissa Frey will be hosting a fund raiser for the National Brain Tumor Society on Saturday, September 7, from 1:00-8:00 p.m., at the Tri-Boro Sportsman’s Club in Northampton. Justin, Frey’s son, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2007. Successful surgery was able to remove the majority of the tumor and, after having aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments, he has recovered and is a productive member of society, enjoying his family, friends and life. An estimated 688,000 people are living with primary tumors of the brain and central nervous system (CNS) in the United States. An estimated 14,080 deaths are expected to occur this year due to brain tumors – 7,930 males, 6,150 females. There are 120 types of brain and CNS tumors most commonly treated by surgery, followed by radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or both. The past two decades little progress has been made in finding new treatments. Melissa and Frank invite you to attend this benefit with your family. A DJ will be spinning records from 1:00-4:00 PM, and Dr. Dicks Band will provide live music from 5:008:00 PM. There will be wildlife prevention entertainment from PA Department of Natural Resources and Smokey Bear (Smokey may even have story time for the children). The Lehigh Valley mascots, Ferrous and Fifi, will be in attendance, greeting and shaking hands on having a great season. There is a chance for you to meet your politicians from the local, county, state and federal government who are in attendance supporting the benefit. All day there will be Bingo, Chinese Auction or a 50-50 drawing. For the children there are crafts, face painting, a playground, plenty of area to explore, horseshoes, and refreshments of various foods and drinks will be available for purchase to benefit the National Brain Tumor Society. NOW, THEREFORE, I Thomas D. Reenock, Mayor of the Borough of Northampton, Pennsylvania, join with Melissa and Frank in inviting to you visit Tri-Boro on the 7th of September, and I look forward to seeing you and spending some time together as we enjoy the afternoon and help with the fund raising benefit for the National Brain Tumor Society.

Grow_UR_Biz DEADHEADS
By CAROL RITTER
I’ve always wondered where the greatest ideas come from. What makes an idea work and
why do some people have great ideas but somehow they just never leave the ‘great idea’ gate? I like to look back on the minimal success of some and the over the top success of others. It’s always the same, the greatest ideas in the world cannot be great without the TRIBE. I have worked for some brillant people over the years, watched them manuver through their goals, have plans that are wildly focused but yet sometimes two things were missing; They have no idea how to gather a TRIBE, in some cases they didn’t even want to And, they don’t focus on surrounding themselves with and taking care of great people If you look up the many definitions of the word TRIBE, you will find they have one thing in common, a TRIBE is a community, a social group with simular values, interests or common bond. A good example of is are the Dead Heads who were commited to and followed The Grateful Dead’s music in the 70’s. The Dead Heads were loyal, obsessed and completely committed to following, listening to and, most importantly, spending money on the Grateful Dead. All businesses need Dead Heads. Loyal, obessed and willing to spend dollars on that obsession. So, how do you go from having an out of this world product or service with no Dead Heads to a business with an out of this world product or service and a TRIBE? Building the CLAN or gathering the TRIBE is not a sci-
ence but takes complete focus and commitment. Here we go: Remember this...the founding members of your TRIBE are your employees! If they don’t have the Dead Head passion and loyalty, there will be no TRIBE Listen to your customers, learn why they love what you do Create situations where your customers feel valued ask them for advice Take care of people - give them something once and in a while, pay attention to their needs Just like your plan to improve your product, create a plan for growing your TRIBE Take the focus off of you and your service and put it on them Learn everything about what makes your customer tick so you can transfer that loyalty to new TRIBE members Don’t ever assume TRIBE members will stay forever, you must nuture them, create new services or products (or new songs like the Greatful Dead) Recognize creative people and surround yourself with them (creative people sometimes aren’t great rule followers, so you will have to cope) Embrace a true entreprenurial spirit, if you are not passionate about what you do how would you expect the gather a TRIBE Always prioritize, EXCELLENT PRODUCT OR SERVCE OBSESSION WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE COMMITMENT TO THE TRIBE YOU JUST CAN’T BE OVER THE TOP SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT THOSE DEAD HEADS!

Cherryville Continued from page 1
out and sold in a bag by the pound. You could find clothing, shoes, hardware, material, all kinds of thread, and much more at the local store ... a little bit of everything. Leonard Anthony, who lived in Cherryville at one time and now is a resident of Bethlehem, remembered going to the store. He said, "They had shelves with any kind of gun you wanted." He said his grandfather bought a shotgun for him at the Hess store when he was twelve years old so he could go hunting with him. At Christmastime, Mr. Hess always gave something to the customers. One item in Bob's possession is a metal flour sifter about one cup in size. On the sifter, are the words: "When you sift it down you will find it pays to patronize: P. O. Hess, Cherryville, Pa." There are a few of these in existence in the area. Preston and his wife, Annie, lived right alongside and to the left of the post office and there was a bedroom on the second floor corner. The store and their home was kind of intermingled. On the third floor, there was a GAR Chapter meeting place. I also learned from Leonard Anthony that there was a band in Cherryville and Preston Hess allowed them to meet on the top floor of the general store. He also recalled the organization that met upstairs and they entered by going up the iron steps on the east side of the building. There was no parking lot and the road from Treichlers was a narrow street so people would park along the porch in front of the building or alongside the road.
The Cherryville Post Office opened on February 6, 1816, at the corner of Route 248 and Blue Mountain Drive. Preston O Hess was the postmaster from 1909 until 1949. In the post office, there were little cubby holes which didn't have doors on them. People asked for their mail and it was pulled from the inside and handed out to the customers. Over the years, there were changes with how people received their mail but the post office was in operation until 1992 when it relocated to a nearby location on Blue Mountain Drive. Other types of business were conducted at the store. At the general store, one could pay for a bus trip with the Edwards Lake to Sea Bus Company. You could also order farm equipment. Many local farmers ordered farm implements and Mr. Hess ordered them through a company so they didn't have to go through a dealer to get what they wanted. The understanding was that they had to go to Treichlers to pick items up at the railroad station. Equipment always was shipped by train. They had delivery service. He remembered going along with an employee, George Jacoby, to help deliver groceries to various farms. George was employed at the store and went away to serve in the Coast Guard in World War II. While he was away, Russell Hummel started working there. When the war was over, George returned and both of the men worked for his grandfather. One or two days of the week, George would take the truck to deliver items. People would call in and order things. They would pack items in a box and then, deliver them in a little green Chevy panel truck with P. O. Hess - General Merchandise - Cherryville, Pa. written on it. He always looked forward to visiting his grandparents and working at the store. Here, he could speak Dutch - both of his grandparents spoke Dutch. People had credit back then. He "kept book." Right in back of the counter, there was a metal container with a spring action that held the bills and people came in and paid their bills once a month or every two or three months. Bob recalled that even after Preston Hess retired, people would visit his home for years afterward to pay off their grocery store bill. In conclusion, the post office and general store managed by Preston O. Hess was quite a place in its time. There are still folks around with fond memories of going there to shop and pick up

their mail. After the Cherryville post office relocated in 1992, the building became vacant; it has deteriorated a great deal. In time, it is sure to be demolished. A building, built in the 1800s, that has served its purpose will one day no longer be there but hopefully, will remain in the memories of many of its residents. Watch for the next article to learn more about Preston O. Hess.

going to be fast and efficient. But over 4500 of our American troops were killed and another 100,000 were seriously injured in combat with many of them losing limbs. We spent a total of six trillion dollars on Iraq while almost twenty percent of our own people live in poverty. War is never quick, easy and cheap. War takes us further than we want to go. Makes us pay more than we want to pay and keeps us longer than we want to stay. What makes us think we can pound Syria for only a few days and accomplish anything? Previous history warns us that it could end up being a long and bitter engagement. What happens if Russia, Iran, North Korea and China decide to get into the act? What would World War III look like? Most likely it would forever change the planet as we know and enjoy it today. I do not want any innocent life to suffer at the hands of an evil dictator. Assad should be stopped. However, it's imperative that our Congress and President assess how far we can go, how much we are able to pay and how long we can really stay. If we believe we can get by with firing our missiles and simply walking away, we have lost all sense of reality.

Police Blotter Colonial Regional Man Faces Many Charges After Breaking into Bath Home
Ilana Badillo, 201 W. Main St., Bath, reported that around 7 p.m. on Sept. 1 she had arrived home at her apartment with her two children, ages 3 and 5, and was there for about 30 minutes when her ex-boyfriend, Joshua Joseph Smith, 303 N. 11th St., Easton, came out of a closet in the living room. Badillo said Smith confronted her about their relationship and would not leave the apartment nor allow her to leave. Badillo claimed that at one point when she tried to leave Smith pushed her while holding her 3-year old child and they both fell to the floor. Smith is the father of the child. Badillo claimed that she was forced to stay in
the apartment for 20 minutes, until her 5 year old snuck out and alerted a neighbor to what was happening. Smith then fled the apartment before Colonial Regional Police arrived. Smith was caught at approximately 8:15 p.m. at the Rite Aid pharmacy in Nazareth. He was arraigned on charges of burglary, false imprisonment of a minor, stalking, harassment, endangering the welfare of a child and recklessly endangering another person. He admitted he broke into her apartment by picking the lock so he could spy on her out of jealousy because she would not let him see his child. District Judge Romig Passaro committed him to Northampton County Prison on $30,000 bail. Smith also has a bench warrant for him from the Northampton County Sheriff’s Dept.
