Historic Northampton Street Fair beats the heat
Home Improvement Page 8
by JUSTIN SWEITZER The historic Northampton Street Fair closed off Main Street on Saturday, September 10 for a day filled with food and festivities that brought many from the borough and beyond to the heart of Northampton.
The event was organized by the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce and saw well over 60 vendors occupy the streets from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. There was something for everyone at the street fair, with
homemade crafts and gifts available for collectors and shoppers alike, ranging from handmade glassware and custom crafted fishing rods to accessories for pets and accessories for the jewelry-lovers. A basket raffle was also held
with over 300 baskets up for grabs. They featured a variety of products including gift cards, kitchen supplies, sportsrelated products and other seasonal items. Some groups used the opporContinued on page 9
Northampton Zoning Hearing Board approves additional sign for Domino’s Pizza Behind the Badges Page 10
75th Year, Issue No. 37 www.homenewspa.com
USPS 248-700
by JUSTIN SWEITZER Talk of pizza occupied the Northampton Borough municipal building on Thursday, September 8, but no orders were taken. Instead, Queen City Pizza, Inc., came before the Northampton Zoning Hearing Board and was granted permission to install a second wall sign at the Domino’s Pizza location at 971 Main St., Northampton. The current ordinance, on Northampton Borough Zoning Ordinance page 250:35, does
not allow establishments to have more than one commercial, industrial or wall sign per business. Tim Bolger looked to add a second sign to his Domino’s location for two main purposes. Before converting it into a Domino’s in 1988, the building was previously an abandoned gas station which still exhibits characteristics of a gas station. Bolger believes adding a second Domino’s sign will help to notify the public that the structure is a Domino’s rather than a gas sta-

tion. In addition, since the building is located on the corner of East 10th Street and Main Street, the lack of a sign on the East 10th Street side often leaves the building looking like a closed business, causing vehicles to dangerously cut through the parking lot to avoid the intersection. Bolger’s reasoning was enough for the board who unanimously voted to allow Bolger to install a second sign. Those representing Domino’s
619 Moorestown Dr., Bath, PA 18014 (Rt. 512)
and Queen City Pizza, Inc. were noticeably pleased, saying, “This was a project we’ve wanted to do for a long time.” The board also heard testimony from Richard Grosz, a Laubach Avenue resident who unknowingly constructed a fence without adhering to a local ordinance. The ordinance stated that all fences must be located 10 feet from the curb, whereas Grosz’s fence was located six feet away from the curb.

Additionally, Grosz did not have a permit for the structure. “I didn’t know I needed one,” Grosz said. He said the fence was
constructed to protect his grandchildren from neighbors who had issues with them venturing into their yard. Ultimately, the board sympathized with Grosz, allowing his fence to remain, but stating that anyone who dislikes the fence will have the ability to appeal it.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Change Your Thoughts and Change Your World Recently my two daughters and I attended a Joyce Meyer Ministry conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Needless to say it was fantastic on many levels. First and foremost, I had a day with my girls. That alone was enough reason to rejoice. Combine that with spending time listening to Joyce Meyer, face to face, is simply wonderful. I had been looking forward to this for some time. For those of you that are not familiar, Joyce is, for sake of brevity, a Tele-evangelist. Yes, she is one of those. She fills stadiums and preaches the Gospel, holding nothing back. The discussion was to the point. Practical. Enlightening. My daughters felt the same. My guess is that each of us who attended had a slightly different take away lesson learned. With that said, for me, I have a new appreciation for the significance
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
of what we actually think about. Always the optimist, I do my best to ward off negative thoughts and replace with the truth of the Word. In fact, we are told to “capture” abhorrent thoughts before they have time to grow and take on a life all their own. Anyone understand where I am coming from? Having your mind thinking appropriate thoughts and not accepting casual negative thinking to roll around inside is much harder than you might think. It takes time, effort, and exercise to develop the skill, and of course, a whole lot of Grace.

Many years ago I read a book from Joyce called “Battlefield of the Mind”. If you have not read it, I would recommend it highly. It covers a lot of ground. You will enjoy it I am sure. It is an undeniable fact that when you change your thoughts, your world changes. I am not saying the world changes, I am saying your world changes. You have the right to think about what you want to think about, yet I see no reason to waste time here on earth continually mulling over something that won’t actually happen at all. Why do we tend to think the worst? It’s foolishness. If we have to go through something difficult, why not just go through it once instead of a hundred more times role playing awful things through your mind day and night. It’s exhausting. It goes without saying that having a calm mind and being at peace within the inner person is more precious than silver or gold. It is priceless. A big part in maintaining clear minded thinking is providing the brain and body with nutrients it requires to function.
Sugar, caffeine, and nicotine top the quick list of items that I would recommend minimizing in your pursuit of clear minded thinking. I would also suggest proper sleep. Maybe modest exercise on a continual basis. Nothing fancy. Walking is fine. The purpose of this week’s Natural Perspectives article is to simply draw attention to the fact that what you think about
September 15-21, 2016 3
matters, and that even a fleeting thought can make or break your day or a relationship. I dare you to think about what you have been thinking about and take a long look and determine if it’s worth the trouble to keep those thoughts swirling around your head. Oftentimes they are not. My best to you.

Customer Appreciation Day St. John’s at Bath Farmers’ Friendly Fifties 25th Anniversary Market submitted by SARAH FULTON Celebration
Clinton faces uphill battle after series of setbacks
Opinion By JUSTIN SWEITZER After surging in the polls following the Democratic National Convention, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has slowly seen her commanding lead over the GOP nominee begin to dissipate. Donald Trump’s gain in the polls can likely be attributed to the campaign shakeup which saw the real estate tycoon add Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway and alt-right media executive Steve Bannon to the highest ranks of his campaign staff. Since adding Conway and Bannon, the Trump campaign has seemed to change direction, toning down Trump’s message into a more focused and inclusive product. Trump and his surrogates have also been pedalling conspiracy theories from alt-right dominated areas of the internet, like Bannon’s own Breitbart News
Network, trying to convince voters that Hillary Clinton has serious health issues that will hinder her ability to successfully run the country. To add insult to injury, during a September 11 memorial service that both Trump and Clinton attended, Clinton had to leave the event early, citing “overheating” as the cause. A video from the event showed Clinton being helped into a van and nearly falling to the ground. It was later revealed that Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier. It was not a good appearance for Clinton, who has repeatedly dismissed all rumors related to her health. Political commentators have criticized the Clinton campaign’s handling of her diagnosis, believing that a more upfront approach would have eliminated any speculation after Clinton’s early exit, and apparent stumble, from the memorial. David Axelrod, former chief strategist for President Barack Obama’s presidential campaigns, criticized the secrecy surrounding Clinton’s well-being the following day, saying, “Antibiotics can take care of pneumonia. What's the cure for an unhealthy penchant for privacy that repeatedly creates unnecessary problems?” The private nature of Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign has already added dif-
POTATOES & APPLES FOR SALE
ficulty to her efforts to convince voters that she is the better option for the presidency, and the questionable handling of her most recent health episode adds a further layer to the same trust issues that she has been looking to eliminate. The event will only add legitimacy to the wild conspiracy theories of Trump and surrogate Rudy Giuliani, who has been a staunch watchdog on the topic of Clinton’s health. To make matters worse for Clinton, the Republican nominee is now using Clinton’s own attacks against her after she claimed half of Trump’s supporters belong in a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton said that many of Trump’s supporters hold “racist, sexist and islamophobic” views. Some polls show Clinton may not be too far off on some of those statements, with a recent Reuters and Ipsos poll revealing that 58 percent of Trump supporters have unfavorable views toward muslims. But Clinton delivered that message in an extremely blunt and negative manner, doing no favors for the Democratic nominee as her lead begins to weaken. Clinton will have a chance to put the gaffes and conspiracy theories behind her during the first presidential debate on Monday, September 26. To do so, she will have to make a strong case to the American people that she is the most experienced and most knowledgeable candidate for the job. She has the policy knowledge and debate prowess to do so, it all comes down to how she will combat the unpredictable nature of her general election opponent once they share the same stage.

Donny & Marie's Marketing Tactics Last week I stayed at one of the most fabulous hotels I’ve ever seen. The customer service was over the top, out of this world and completely impressive. “Good morning, Ms. Ritter, how are you doing today?” I replied, “Great, how are you?” She then proceeded to tell me in the nicest way possible and with a big smile on her face that my room wasn’t ready. “May I take your bags, can I offer you a snack while you wait? When your room is ready I will personally take you to the elevators.” What planet was I on? I was thinking, “Do they treat all their customers this way?” After work was over, I decided to get tickets to the Donny & Marie show. I saw them in Allentown 40 years ago and thought they were just such great entertainers. They have been doing their show for eight years and they add something new and exciting every year. They signed a contract for six weeks and continue, at 57 and 59, to provide a fun, exciting, musical variety show, packed with the frick and frack brother and sister comedy team.
Here are five Donny & Marie Marketing Tactics:
1. They thanked the audience for giving them a lifelong careercustomer appreciation at it’s best. 2. They thanked all the famous people who helped them launch their career: Andy Williams, Bob Hope, Groucho Marx, (he pinched Marie) Lucy, Sonny & Cher, and Elvis- they were sincerely grateful.

3. The show offered the treasured oldies, “Paper Roses” and, of course, “Puppy Love” and it was filled with their new and exciting songs and albums- keeping it fresh. 4. They came down in the audience to form an oh-so-instant relationship with each person they touched- keeping the loyalty going. 5. They were funny and fun loving- provided an enjoyable experience. Donny & Marie (their brand is their names) have been voted the best show in Las Vegas for three years in a row, their band was voted best band and they continue to sell out crowds week after week. What’s their secret marketing sauce? They have created a situation where they stand above all the rest. After a standing ovation, the audience leaves feeling good and can’t wait to tell everyone how great it was. All it takes to “Grow Ur Biz” is: Building the brand, keeping it new and exciting, building relationships, appreciation and loyalty.

Celtic Adventure At Northampton Farmers’ Market by CATHERINE STROH The unique sound of bagpipes were heard in the Northampton Borough at the weekly Northampton Farmers’ Market on Sept. 6. Local band Celtic Adventure, specializing in traditional Irish and Scottish folk music, was welcomed to the market. Celtic Adventure has been rocking the area since 1997. Although the band has seen many transitions and shifts in members, its current members are cousins Gene Kutzler, bagpipe player for 25 years, and Al Wallitsch. You’ll most likely find the pair playing their music at local nursing homes. Their focus is not about making money, rather sharing their passion of folk music. If you missed Celtic Adventure on Sept. 6, they’ll be back at the market on Tuesday, September 20 and will play at Kilts in the Park, a free concert held in the Northampton Borough Park on October 2 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. New to the market was a working antique truck- a beautiful 1946 Chevy, owned by enthusiast Charlie Recker, of Northampton. Charlie tries to drive the truck everyday and enjoys it as much as he can, driving the Chevy around is something him and his wife enjoy together. Although nothing is official yet, Northampton Borough Planner Victor Rodite of the Northampton Farmers’ Market is trying to get antique trucks and cars to the market every week, a nice addition to the local vendors and something unique for patrons to enjoy. All antique vehicle owners are encouraged to bring their vehicles; in turn they’ll receive two free raffle tickets. The market is open every Tuesday from 3 until 6:30 p.m. and is located on Main Street in Northampton in the new Uptown Park, by the Roxy Theater. The last day of the 2016 season is September 27.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip What a revolting development! Ye Olde Editor was headed to a Lions meeting in Slatington last Tuesday night, and he ended up in a two-car crash – no grilled steaks and only hospital food over at Cedar Crest. The two old timers from the Lions are now getting lots of attention from the pretty nurses anyhow. Marvin Werkheiser is in Allentown Hospital I hear. But they still would rather be home. . . My sympathies to the family of Roger Rehrig, who passed away from an illness. Reckon the family will carry on with the beer distributor business. . . Penn State fans thought their Nittany Lions would pull off an upset at the last minute, but an interception by Pitt stopped that. So they had a disappointing ride back home from Heinz Field. . . Phillies starting pitchers really were great in Washington, but 8th & 9th inning dramatics against the relievers knocked them off. . . . But back to football, hats off to rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles for winning their opener against RGIII and the rest of those Cleveland Browns, 29-10. Now it’s on to Chicago and the Bears. Ain’t sports great?! . . . Northampton Chamber of Commerce ran their yearly Street Fair on Saturday and the weather was good for it . . .Things are really jumping down at the Bath Farmers Market – not just fruits and veggies, but lots of lively music. . . Gotta go now, Get well soon, Ye Ed. The gang misses you.

Nazareth scores First Win, Kids Lose their game
CREATIVE CORNER By KATHLEEN UNGER
Cars
The automobile has come a long way from the little old Model T. You had to turn a crank in the front of the car to start it and there were no heaters or air conditioning to heat or cool the inside of the car. Some of the old cars had rumble seats in the rear of the car. We used to use hand signals to signal a turn, the ignition switch was on the dashboard, and the headlight dimmer was a button on the floor. My first car had wide whitewalls, a parking brake, automatic Powerglide transmission, and air conditioning was achieved by lowering the four windows and driving like 60. In 1949, my daddy’s old Buick had Dynaflow automatic transmission. Remember the old window defrosters? It was a piece of glass with four suction cups on the corners which you positioned on the inside of the window and plugged the cord into the cigarette lighter. The glass got heated and kept the window from freezing up. What a contraption! I had soft dice hanging on the rearview mirror and some of the guys had a raccoon tail tied to the aerial. In the fifties, our cars had running boards for helping young ladies to enter the car, fender skirts to add class to the looks of the car, steering knobs added interest to the steering wheel and helped the driver to put one arm around his girl while being able to steer the car with the other. Curb feelers helped to judge how far or close you were to the curb, and Continental kits were placed on the rear of some cars by young fellows to make them look like a Lincoln. What happened to the cars of the past? There was the Hudson, the Kaiser, Packard, Edsel, Studebaker and Nash Rambler. These makes of cars have passed away, much like the ten-cent Coke and penny candy. In a few years, we will see the development of more cost efficient cars that will probably run on vegetable oil. We could also see the disappearance of some of the gas guzzling cars of today. Times are a changing.
by HOME NEWS STAFF The “sun” came out for Nazareth’s Blue Eagles as they scored a 37-33 victory over the Whitehall Zephyrs for their first victory of the new football season. Northampton’s Konkrete Kids, however, dropped another, 55-36 to Pleasant Valley. Travis Stofanik ran for an 8-yard score in Nazareth’s first quarter game. In the second quarter, Stefanik took a 7-yard pass from Zach Keifer. Other Nazareth tallies in the second were by Dezmoniak on a 86 yard kick return, and Jillian Lazai caught passes from Stefanik for more points and Petruccelli kicked a field goal. The 3rd quarter was scoreless. Both teams scored in the final Stanza. Nazareth on a 93 yard kick off return with 3:43 left on the clock.

Fate of Sleepy Hollow Road Dominates Council Meeting by KERI LINDENMUTH The fate of Sleepy Hollow Road dominated a large portion of the beginning of the Borough of Bath Council Meeting, held on Monday, September 12. Many citizens of Bath made an appearance at the monthly meeting in the Bath Municipal Building to ask questions, voice their opinions, and express concerns over the future of Sleepy Hollow Road. A recent storm washed out
parts of the road, Borough Manager Bradford Flynn explained at the meeting. However, when the borough looked into repairing and improving the road using an $80,000 fund from the Liquid Fuels Program, it was discovered that there had never been a deed of dedication for the road to the Borough of Bath. Without a deed of dedication, the road is technically considered a private drive. As a result,

the borough is not obligated to service Sleepy Hollow Road if there is no deed. Residents expressed concern over what kind of changes the road would face in order for it to acquire the deeds and potentially meet the specifications of the Liquid Fuels Program. Among such topics and concerns discussed were the widening of the road, the addition of a cul-de-sac, and the loss of privacy the tree cover provides to residents living along the street. “I live there because it [is] quiet, it [is] quaint,” one resident said when given the floor. “[It is] not going to be the same place to live anymore.” Both the council and those in attendance agreed that more details must be obtained before moving forward. The council used Monday’s meeting as a way to get the issue “out there and hear comments” while making the discussion as “transparent as possible” to the community, explained Council President Mark Saginario. A motion was passed to obtain advice from an engineer, then revisit the subject at a future meeting. Other issues discussed at the council meeting included the success of August’s Spuds and Suds Festival, during which over 1,000 people visited the borough to take part in the festivities. In addition to the festival’s success, the success of the borough as a whole was also highlighted. The Borough of Bath
has been nominated as a Community of Distinction by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. The council also motioned to approve several notes of business, including a motion to accept the Bethlehem Township Fire Department EMS Lease Agreement, a motion to accept a new 2016 Cat 259D SkidSteer Loader to aid in snow removal and road clearing, and a motion to award a bid for a Creek Road reconstruction project that would hopefully eliminate sinkholes.
The council also motioned to move forward on the planning for the Paw Park dog park in the borough, in addition to motioning for a meeting in November to discuss the restoration of the current municipal building and a possible complex to house a new municipal building. President Saginario praised the councilmembers for their ability to move forward on a variety of issues and “get things done.” “[It is] a pat on the back to the entire council,” he said.

(NAPSI)—For the 66 percent of Americans who live in homes built before 1980, lower heating and cooling costs might seem like a hard-to-achieve fantasy. But with the right insulation choice, owners of those character-filled turn-of-thecentury farmhouses can capitalize on potential opportunities to reduce their energy bills. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation is an especially versatile choice when it comes to modernizing these older homes. SPF can be easily installed when renovating existing walls and attics, including hard-to-reach and odd-shaped areas. SPF is a spray-applied insulation installed seamlessly in and around building surfaces. Sealing cracks, seams and joints with SPF cuts down on energy loss from drafts and leaks. A properly
insulated and sealed home can reduce heating and cooling needs by 30 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Lastly, let’s not forget the attic. Most homeowners may not realize that attics are places where heat and cold air can escape. The Department of Energy also reports that attic openings account for 15 percent of a typical home’s energy losses. The use of SPF to insulate an attic offers an important step in improving a home’s energy efficiency. When updating a house with SPF, homeowners can take advantage of one of the most effective ways to improve energy efficiency without sacrificing the character of their older homes.

tunity to promote their causes and raise money, including area cub scout and girl scout troops, as well as the Lehigh Valley Tea Party. Foodies had a variety of choices to pick from including slow-smoked barbeque, Rita’s Italian Ice and other food stands. Children also joined in on the action, as many happily paraded through the street with painted faces and snow conestained-lips, showing their excitement despite the blistering heat that accompanied the fair. The historic Roxy movie theatre opened its doors for self-guided tours, with access to scrapbooks and newspaper clippings retelling the theatre’s storied history since its inception. Owner Richard Wolfe was available for questions regarding the theatre, with many reliving and sharing stories from their youth with him. A stroll backstage took fairgoers back to the dressing rooms previously occupied by some of entertainment’s biggest stars. Not far outside the theatre doors was a stage featuring live music throughout the day, add-
ing to the fulfillment of those in attendance. Tony Pristash, president of the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce, said the chamber was pleased with the sizeable crowd who came out in spite of the heat and humidity that joined them. “We beat the heat,” Pristash said with a laugh, “We’re very happy for the crowd.”

BEHIND the BADGES
Officer Randall S. Pompei
from Nazareth Borough Police Department Facebook This week’s behind the badge article is commending Officer Randall S. Pompei. Officer Pompei is one of the newest full time officers to join the ranks of the Nazareth Borough Police Department but is not new to public service in the Borough of Nazareth. Officer Pompei had previously been employed by the Nazareth Borough Police Department as a part-time officer before being sworn in as a full-time officer in July of this year. Prior to being employed as a police officer in Nazareth, Officer Pompei was employed by the Nazareth Am-
bulance Corps. as a Pennsylvania Department of Health EMT-B for over eight years. In the winter months of 2015, Officer Pompei and two officers from the Upper Nazareth Township Police Department were summoned to a residence off of Liberty Street for a report of a male sleeping in his vehicle. Upon officers making contact with the male, officers were advised that the male was homeless and had nowhere to go. Officer Pompei and the officers from the UNTPD quickly jumped into action to help the male in any way they could. It was a very cold evening and the officers were concerned for the male’s safety. Officers made numerous phone calls and gave a relentless effort in contacting multiple shelters in an attempt to find the male a place to go before finally finding shelter for the male at the Allentown Rescue Mission. Upon doing so and after speaking with the male, it was discovered that he had little to no gas in his vehicle and had not eaten for some time. Officer Pompei and the two officers from the UNTPD escorted the male to 7-11 in Upper Nazareth Township and filled his tank with gas and purchased approximately $50 in food and beverages. One of the officers from the UNTPD also purchased the male a $20 gift card from the Giant food store in Lower Nazareth to be utilized at a later date. On this day, all three officers showed a generous act of kindness to this man in need, and showed what our fine officers in the Nazareth area are all about.

Psalm 23
The first sentence of Psalm 23 introduces the Lord as David’s Shepherd—The Supplier of his needs. The rest of the Psalm explains how The Lord as his Shepherd meets his needs. “The Lord is my Shepherd, I SHALL NOT WANT.” What is it that I SHALL NOT WANT when I take the Lord as my Shepherd? I shall not want REST—“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.” I shall not want REFRESHMENT—“He leadeth me beside the still waters.” I shall not want FORGIVENESS—“He restoreth my soul.” I shall not want GUIDANCE—“He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness, for His name’s sake.” I shall not want COMPANIONSHIP—“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.” I shall not want COMFORT—“Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” I shall not want FOOD— “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.” I shall not want JOY—“Thou anointest my head with oil.” I shall not want ANYTHING—“My cup runneth over.” I shall not want ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE—“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” I shall not want ANYTHING IN ETERNITY—“And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” However, you cannot claim all the things mentioned in this chapter unless you can also say as David said, “The Lord is my Shepherd.” You can make Him your Shepherd by repenting of your sin and trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation today. –Adapted

We, the sisters, Caroline, who lives in Bath, Charlotte, who lives in Florida, Catherine, also a Bath resident, and Miriam, residing in Northampton. We remember how we sang at Bath’s 225th Anniversary, also at many churches in the area. We must also not forget to mention Annie Greene who was fun and played the piano many times for us. Catherine and Miriam are still singing on their church choirs today.
