Chief Kadingo and members of the Northampton Police Department.
New Northampton Police Chief sworn in
by KERI LINDENMUTH On Thursday, September 21, Bryan Kadingo was instated as Northampton Borough’s newest police chief. With his family and fellow officers in attendance, Chief Kadingo was sworn in by Mayor Thomas Reenock. Chief Kadingo’s appointment by the borough council follows the retirement of former Police Chief Ronald Morey in August. “The choice was unanimous by council,” borough manager Leroy Brobst said of the decision to appoint Kadingo. Members of council warmly welcomed Chief Kadingo. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler, after reading aloud an article about Northampton police helping a young borough resident with autism, thanked Chief Kadingo personally for “going above and beyond the call of duty.” In addition to appointing Chief Kadingo as Northampton Police Chief, members of council also gave their monthly reports. Public safety was a big topic for many council members.
Kutzler announced that officers directing traffic will be given LED signal batons with flashlights. “They should be a great safety device,” Kutzler said. Councilman Keith Piescienski also asked that PennDOT consider adding a green arrow for westbound traffic turning left off 21st Street. Traffic congestion has created a safety concern for first responders. “We cannot even drive our fire trucks through there, let alone an ambulance,” Piescienski said. Meanwhile, Councilman Tony Pristash announced that deconstruction of the Coplay Bridge is moving along. He thanked borough residents for their support and tolerance as the project continues. “The people have been as patient as possible,” he said. Finally, councilmembers addressed an odor complaint coming from several wards in the borough. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection is currently investigating the issue and Councilman An-
thony Lopsonzski, Sr. says they are “pretty well on their way to figuring [it] out.” Other news in the Northampton area: • The Jack Frost Parade will be held on Thursday, October 19. Currently, only two bands are registered to march.
• Trick-or-Treat will be held on Tuesday, October 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. Brobst thanked the fire and police departments for their continued support during the event. “The fire and police departments have always been very vigilant during that festive time,” he said.
Rockefeller rezoning Hearing to continue In October By JUSTIN SWEITZER East Allen Township Supervisors held a continuation of a rezoning hearing at Northampton Area High School on Sept. 21, where The Rockefeller Group Development Corporation sought to rezone 155 acres of land from agricultural use to light industrial business park use.
The hearing was similar in nature to the first installment held in August, which saw Rockefeller developers present their plans for a logistics-style warehouse west of Weaversville Road. The Sept. 21 continuation saw residents cross-examine Clark Machemer, Continued on page 4

Dear Friends, It is with a deeper understanding of the all-encompassing grace of God that I write this letter. When I announced my intention to retire as the pastor of St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church of Bath, I knew it would be a process filled with many thoughts, memories, and emotions. Through the year leading up to July 31, 2017 I experienced many emotions and thoughts. When the day of our last Sunday together came I was somewhat in a daze. The worship service was so moving – the presence of so many people: family and friends – I count you all as members of that circle - filled my heart with joy. After worship I was ready to just savor it all. Then Jill drove over to Northampton (on a ride supposedly for ice cream) and we arrived at the Community Center. We were both truly overwhelmed by the presence of so many people: members of the congregation, the greater Bath community, and friends. What a great event, for which we will be grateful for many years to come. Deepest appreciation for all who planned, attended, and supported the day. There are no words sufficient to express the full depth of our gratitude. Jill and I wish to give our deepest appreciation to all who shared, not just the day but also all the years spent as a community of faith with all of you. Jill was born and raised in this community; I came to it 36 years ago. We are so deeply moved by the generosity of spirit and friendship that has touched us in countless ways. Even though it seems so small, we want to say thank you for your friendship and support showered upon us. We will see many of you in the months and years to come, as we will be part of the greater Bath community. Our prayers are for the continued blessing of the, as our mayor has said: great little community of Bath. Thank you from the depth of our hearts.
Yours Always, Pastor Jay and Jill Wetzel

Rockefeller Continued from page 1
a senior vice president and regional development officer for Rockefeller, on his previous testimony. The cross-examination often showcased the frustration of township residents, who have put up a unified front opposing the proposed sale and development of the 155.03 acres. Township Solicitor Joseph Piperato III frequently had to ask township residents to follow procedures set by Pennsylvania municipal law, as residents strayed from crossexamining Machemer’s testimony to voice their opinions on the controversial proposal. Much of the resident concerns were regarding the large influx of traffic that the warehouse would bring to the area, including hundreds of trucks onto Willowbrook Road, daily, according to Machemer. Residents were adamant that truck traffic should be restricted from utilizing Weaversville Road, believing the road to be unsuitable for tractor trailer use. “I don’t disagree with that,” Machemer said in response to a comment on Weaversville Road’s unsuitability. Machemer reiterated his stance from the previous hearing that Rockefeller would look to put prevention methods in place to deter tractor trailers from entering onto Weaversville Road. The hearing also featured new testimony from Mark Heeb of BL Companies, a registered landscape architect, who used the township’s comprehensive plan to justify facets of the proposed development. Heeb used goals set in the plan to argue that the proposed development would be consistent with zoning and employment goals that are outlined in the township's current comprehensive plan. Heeb said that the LehighNorthampton Airport Authority (LNAA), the current owner of the land, never intended to keep the land zoned agricultural, and that the only other suitable use in the East Allen Township Comprehensive Plan would be a non-residential use that would accompany a warehouse. “The airport does not intend to keep this as ag use,” Heeb said. “The second use that’s recom-
mended in your comp plan is that it be a non-residential development with lower height structures with uses that are not employee intensive. From that bullet, that does align with what we’re proposing here.” Residents rebutted Heeb’s claim that a warehouse was not employee intensive, as did Supervisor Madelyn Kemp, but Heeb offered shopping malls and office parks as examples that would be more employee intensive than distribution centers. Heeb also showed a brief video to the crowd gathered in the high school, which displayed a digital conceptual design of the proposed warehouse which followed township zoning requirements to give a rough idea of what the structure would look like. He particularly pointed out the landscaping berms that would hide much of the building from sight when traveling on nearby roads. “It’s just to give you an idea of what the physical or the spatial look of some of what the development would be using your ordinance,” Heeb said. “If it’s done right, you won’t see much of the road.” The video didn’t do much to quell the concerns of township residents, whose cross-examination lasted up until the final minutes that the township was allowed to occupy the building. With more testimony yet to come and a decision yet to be made, township supervisors announced that the next continuation of the hearing will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium.
Police Blotter Domestic Violence In Bath
On September 24, CRPD responded to W. Main Street in Bath for a domestic in progress. Police were at the residence two other times prior to this incident for Bruce Edelman, 56 of Chapman, who was causing a disturbance and fled both times. Edelman was reportedly back in the house and the victim did not want him there, and she texted 911 to indicate such. A police officer arrived on scene and heard a disturbance from the open rear door. Edelman was on top of the victim holding her down while she screamed for help, telling
him to let go. The officer entered the house and attempted to take control of Edelman, who refused to let go of the victim. The officer ultimately was able to get Edelman off of her and he was placed under arrest. The victim sustained injuries to her chest and wrists. Edelman was charged with simple assault (domestic violence), harassment, unlawful restraint, criminal trespass and resisting arrest. He was committed to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $15,000 bail.
Heroin seized during Traffic stop
Officers conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle for an expired registration and found Chelsea June Williams, 26 of Bethlehem, to be the driver. Williams was found to have a warrant for Dangerous Drugs from Lehigh County and was taken into custody. A search of the driver’s seat area of the vehicle resulted in officers locating a wax packet used to hold heroin. A further search resulted in several more wax packets containing heroin, numerous hypodermic needles and other drug paraphernalia. Williams has been charged with possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia and the expired registration.
Arrest made At Kohl’s
On Wednesday, September 20, CRPD responded to Kohl’s in Lower Nazareth Township for a female in custody for retail theft. The female was identified as Lindsay Pesesko, 29 of Easton, and was found to have drug paraphernalia as well as unpaid merchandise in her possession. Pesesko will receive charges in the mail through Judge Capobianco’s office for summary retail theft and possession of drug paraphernalia. Pesesko was committed to Northampton County Prison for violating her probation out of Lehigh County.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Too Busy To Think
Would you agree that thinking is important? Would you also agree that in retrospect there have been times you weren’t thinking clearly and made a poor decision? I have and I would rather not do so again. What I see as of late is a community, a country, a world of very busy people. Busy with our own personal responsibilities and duties. I have mine. You have yours. I also am aware that as the pace heats up so does the rate at which we make decisions, sometimes foolishly to our own peril. Now I am not here to say that quick decisions are poor decisions. If the decision is obvious, like you shouldn’t allow the grandkids to eat cookies and ice cream right before dinner or play with matches in a fall cornfield, then by all means, button up that one quickly. On the other hand, there are other decisions, both small and large, that truly need to be thought through because, far down the road, the seemingly insignificant hastily made decisions can lead to consequences that are gut wrenching and agonizing on a grand scale or lead to angst and regret on a smaller scale. Nobody wants that. For me, I have found that in the past that the busier I have been the less time I have spent actually thinking about the decisions that needed to be made and made properly. Don’t confuse this with the foolishness of over reasoning each and everything in your life. That’s no good either as that can lead to paralysis of action. I have seen that time and time again, myself not without exemption. What I am expressing here in this week’s Natural Perspectives™ article may seem to you to be not worth examination. I believe it is. I also believe that you yourself can imagine how being way too busy to think has led to decisions that you’re really not sure why you made exactly. I know this as I hear it a lot. Clinically, I marvel at some of

the health decisions we make. We decide to consume massive amounts of sugar all the while we are taking insulin for diabetes. We decide to smoke a pack or two a day fully aware that our parent or loved one has died of cancer. We decide to pass on vegetables altogether yet double up on blood pressure pills to compensate. We need to think these decisions through once and for all. Then there are really good decisions that when we look back we are just thrilled. Imagine deciding to simply walk a mile every other day. Think your body will be happy ten years from today? Consider giving up all alcohol. Your liver will thank you. How about the simplicity of adding four or five glasses a water a day? Think that’s a pretty good decision? To the point, we are all the sum of our daily decisions both large and small. Where we live. Who we marry. What we look at. What we listen to. What we eat. All of it adds up to exactly where you find yourself this very moment. Sure, you may feel that somebody else’s decisions forced your decisions and that might be true, yet I personally cannot live in that place of reasoning. I take full responsibility for my decisions both good and bad. I don’t like it one bit sometimes, yet that’s the way it is. Please understand that you can slow your world down, take a breath and begin to make solid, well thought out decisions that take your life in a powerful new direction.

The Good, The bad and The ugly
I had the opportunity to work in North Dakota last week. I was so far north that Montana and Canada were a few miles away. It took a full day of travel to get there and a full day to get home. The people there were fantastic and I enjoyed speaking to the Williston Chamber of Commerce about extreme customer service. I decided to attempt to notice the customer service on my trip. The good: I left Philadelphia and flew to Denver. I always appreciate security but worry about getting pulled out for an inspection. Here we go…. they stopped me and patted me down and took my computer for testing. It only took a few minutes and the TSA was helpful. Airport staff was overly friendly and helpful. Up, up and away and four hours later I arrived in Denver, Colorado. A three-hour lay over sent me to a new pub in the airport where I sat overlooking the Rocky Mountains and enjoyed a delicious smoked salmon salad. The waitress had impeccable customer service skills; she was kind, swift and accommodating. I boarded the plane to Williston and literally felt like I was on a jumping gym and the air conditioning was minimal, at best. Turbulence! The attendant could not do enough for us to keep us calm and smiling. The minute she could walk down the aisle she brought us all water. The bad: When planning for my trip home, I went down to the desk at the hotel to print out my boarding passes. The front desk clerk told me that their customer printer was broken but she could print the passes internally for me if I emailed them to her. The manager then reassured me about the cab telling me that if I have any issues tomorrow morning, have my front desk clerk call the him on his cell. I remind him that I was leaving at 4 a.m. and he told me that should be fine. The next morning, I arrived at the desk at 4 a.m. The clerk told me she couldn’t confirm my cab ride. I had a 6 a.m. flight so I needed to solve this problem. The clerk told me to call the cab company, so I did, to no avail. I told her to call her boss, and she gave me a look that said, “no way.” By this time it was 4:30 a.m. I imagined
cause the customer rules. My experience with the Williston Chamber was over the top extreme customer service. They could not do enough to make me feel comfortable. Maybe we could all take a lesson from Williston Chamber of Commerce in Williston, North Dakota.

myself missing my plane, until a big, black, four-wheel jacked up truck with a sign that read, CAB, appeared. When I went outside, he asked if I was going to the airport and I told him I was but that he wasn’t the cab company I called. He told me they couldn’t make it and that I should get in. With no help from him, I hauled my suitcase and myself up into this truck and hoped for the best. He never moved to help me, but I did make it on time to the airport. The ugly: when I arrived in Minneapolis on the way home, I sat down at a bar for breakfast and noticed the bartender was literally running up and down the bar with a very mad face. He was beyond ticked off and I watched him run up and down scowling, huffing, and puffing. I waited and waited and finally he came up to me, handed me a menu and said, “I’ll be right back.” He came back 15 minutes later to take my order and then another bartender showed up. He said hello to my server but by this time whatever was bothering him had escalated and he loudly said, “I don’t care, I hate this #$%& place. They are going to pay for this!” He was out of control and threatening in front of customers.
Customer Service Tip #1
When things go wrong, make the best of it, and as the song says, “put on a happy face.”
Customer Service Tip #2
When you have to depend on other people to help you, especially when traveling, make your plans as early as possible because so much can go wrong - help the people who are serving you to get the job done.
Customer Service Tip #3
If you are mad at your boss or employer and you take it out on your customers, (I call it misplaced anger) turn your personal anger into action and energy. You will lose in the long run be-
make better decisions. It is as simple as that and as challenging as that. Engage your brain. Let your no be no and yes be yes for the right reasons. Take time. Really take time today and consider what you want your tomorrow to look like. Let it begin fresh today. My best to you.

BATH BOWLING
GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It’s the last week of regular season play in Major League baseball and now it’s the post season wild card games and the World Series. Can you believe it?! To the players it must be tiring, but they made it exciting with all the home runs. 50 by a rookie named Aaron Judge. The Philllies have a lotta good hitters coming along, so things look pretty good for the future. Rhys Hoskins hit 18 homers in 43 games. Now if they just get some more pitchers besides that Aaron Nola. Other sports will take over for shorter times, but baseball is still number one in my book. . . .Penn State and the Eagles sure did their share of last second thrills and had their fans biting their nails. Just when their opponents were thinking they won, in the blink of an eye our boys came through. What a letdown for Iowa and the N.Y. Giants. Wow!!! . . . .I don’t know if this is good or bad, but Walmart pulled plans for two big supercenters, probably because Amazon wants to locate a massive headquarters here in the East. Good farm land is being gobbled up by all these big businesses. It blows my mind as to how fast it’s happening. . . .This Friday, the 29th, is the last day for this 10th season of the Bath Farmers Market. It has been a good harvest year, even with all the rainy days. Even after the market closes, the farmers still have stands at their barns, with lots of fruits and vegetables to offer. . . . Little Moore Church has a pork and sauerkraut supper coming up soon. Nothing like a good church or grange supper. . . . It’s getting near Halloween and the annual Halloween parade by the firefighters. Time for organizations to register. It’s guaranteed to be colder than it has been the last couple weeks. High 80’s and into the 90’s. Phew! Take it easy. See ya next week.

No Outside Door Handle?
Have you seen Holman Hunt’s picture of Jesus Christ entitled “Behold I Stand at the Door?” It depicts Christ standing at a door with His right hand upon the knocker. At His feet, weeds have grown long, a tell-tale sign that the door had not been opened in a long time. There He stands patiently awaiting a response. A lantern in His left hand casts a flickering light upon the weeds at the door and reveals the nail-prints in His pierced hands. When the original was first exhibited in London, critics said that Hunt had made one omission. On the door there is a knocker; but there is no outside handle. Hunt replied, “This door opens only from the inside.” It is the door of man’s heart. Hunt’s picture portrays the Scripture verse in Revelation 3:20 where Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” In this verse, we see that Jesus, the Son of God, wants to fellowship with you. Yes, with you! Jesus gave this invitation to everyone! It is given to you! If you will respond to Him and open the door of your heart today, Jesus will come into your life! Push aside the distractions of the world that would keep you from answering His knock. Throw the door of your heart wide open and receive Christ for “as many as received him, to them gave he power (the right or privilege) to become the sons of God” (John 1:12). Receive Him now and become a child of God! Jesus is knocking on the door of your heart right now! He is waiting now for your response. Will you answer Him now? Will you swing open the door of your heart to Jesus now? Will you invite Him to come into your heart? Make this chorus your prayer, “Into my heart, into my heart, Come into my heart, Lord Jesus; Come in today, come in to stay, Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.”

Carol A Step Inside the byBearBath Museum Heckman
Bath Town Square The town square in Bath is located at the foot of S. Chestnut Street where it meets W. Main Street. It is flanked by two hotels: the Bath Hotel and the Slate Exchange Hotel. Back in the day, when transportation was by stagecoach, Jacob Siegfried would do a figure eight in the square as he blew his horn announcing his arrival with his Troy coach (seating nine people inside and six outside) and his team of four grays. With the advent of the automobile, a need was felt for better traffic control in the square, so a pole with a kerosene lamp on top was erected. Shortly afterwards it was expanded to a round concrete base with an iron pole with two arms and two kerosene lamps. The final attempt was the round cement base with an electric traf-
fic light on top (see two photos courtesy of Catherine Zakos). By the late 1930s they went back to nothing in the square. The Bath Museum does have a picture of a Christmas tree in the middle of the square with date unknown (I wonder how long that lasted!) You'll find the most fascinating things at the Bath Museum. The Bath Museum is open free to the public every third Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Currently it is located on the second floor of the Bath Municipal Building at Penn and Washington Streets. Mark October 21 on your calendar and come out and visit this local treasure. P.S. The Governor Wolf Historical Society, located just south of Bath, also has their museum open the same date from 1 to 3 p.m.
