By CATHERINE STROH Pearl Eberts, a lifelong resi dent of the Bath area, threw the first pitch at the August 7 Iron Pigs baseball game in celebra tion of her birthday. After just a few bounces, Pearl’s throw went right to the catcher’s mitt; not too shabby as she just turned 103 yearsPearlold.is an avid IronPigs base ball fan and her recent throw was her fourth one. She also pitched at ages 94, 100 and 102. After the catcher caught her pitch, she blew kisses to fans in the stands. The crowd absolutely loved her and some of those in the crowd even recognized her from previous birthday pitches.
Her family and friends gathered in a dugout suite behind home plate at Coca-Cola Park for their August birthday celebrations. When asked by a friend if she had practiced for her pitch, Pearl showed her delightful sense of humor and simply replied, “No, I played softball in high school!”

While this may be in part a very true philosophical statement, in reality the application is rather challenging, isn’t it? Should the changes made be small, modest, dramatic? Should we slowly tran sition or abruptly? Who is to say? Another consideration could be pondering how the change im pacts others you love. My guess is the bigger the change, the more other lives are touched, whether good or not so good. Change in life isn’t always about focusing on the physical world, as in taking a new job down south, joining a new church, or becom ing a vegetarian, et al. No, the change, the shift, could be an in side-type job that’s candidly long overdue. Truth be told there are perhaps a great deal more inter nal life changes that could ben efit us more significantly. If this is even partly true, why wouldn’t we consider looking within as a place to begin? What I am speaking to is, let’s say, changes in your view, percep tion, thinking, emotional bal ance, and more. If you were to work on a change in any one of these areas then yes, in some way your “world” would change. Per hapsDoesdramatically.thissound strange to you? Well, how do you think your life would change if you forgave someone who has wronged you, whether recently or decades ago? I am not saying it is easy to do, I am simply asking the question.

tent prayer is life changing. How about the dramatic life changes that come about by thinking good things about yourself in stead of consistent self-depreca tion? I know you do because we all do or have done it in some capacity.Howwould your life change if you handled an emotion that’s out of control and running your life, as in anger, fear, strife and all the rest that afflicts so readily? Again, I am not saying any of this is easy. Even as I write this I know I need to hear this as well. Life changes when you face it. That much I do know. How often do you find yourself circling back to the same issues over and over again? My hand is raised on that one. I believe with all my heart that God puts us smack dab right back there again and again un til we finally address, overcome, deal with, and move on from whatever is before us. Much more could be said on this topic, yet allow me to say that who you were decades ago, last month, yesterday, even this morning does not need to be the same person you are tomorrow.

Finally, in a 5-2 vote, council hired Brian Welsko as assistant to the borough manager. Coun cilmen Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. and Kenneth Hall abstained from theThevote.decision comes after a sixweek interview process for mul tiple“Allcandidates.candidates did excellent,” said Councilman Trevor Stone. “This was the toughest voting de cision I have had to make since I have been Councilwomanhere.” Judy Halde man“Everybodyagreed. was really very im pressive,” she said. The next Northampton Bor ough Council meeting will be held Thursday, September 15 at 7 p.m.
Code Enforcement Office Keith Knoblach and Chief of Po lice Bryan Kadingo were in atten dance during the meeting. Coun cilwoman Judy Kutzler told the residents that their first course of action should be meeting with bothSolicitormen. Brian Panella will join the conversation and help review the borough’s nuisance ordinance to see whether there are grounds for evicting the tenants from the property.Inother news, resident Cheryl Ossa stood before council to clar ify a discussion held at the previ ous meeting regarding the NorBath Trail access on McKeever Lane. Her property is the one the borough was previously going to construct an access through. Ossa was told that the borough would install stairs to the trail, which she supported. However, stairs are not possible because of ADA regulations. Instead, trees were cleared and stones were poured. Rainstorms caused ero sion, which hampered safety. She said people were falling down the hill and something had to be done to prevent dangerous acci dents.“Idon’t have a problem [with granting access],” she said, “I just want it to be safe.” During the meeting, coun cil also approved a resolution to convert the borough’s street light ing to LED fixtures. This change, which will be carried out by PPL, will not cost the borough. Instead, it will save the borough money on electricity. There was no announcement on when PPL will begin this conversion.

Reese added that there will be a process in the agreement that allows Nazareth Borough to re view and comment on any land development in the neighboring municipalities represented by the plan.Council voted unanimously to adopt the Nazareth Area MultiMunicipal Plan. The next part of the process will be an Inter governmental Cooperative Im plementation Agreement. More information on NazPlan can be found on their website, nazplan. org.After the special meeting, the Nazareth Borough Council held a workshop to discuss reports and proposed motions for their Sep temberJennymeeting.Swanker from the Naza reth Center for the Arts addressed the council about a mural that has been in the works after receiv ing three grants for it and wanted to see what was needed to move forward. Swanker added that NCA has an artist selected for the mural who has begun the design process and already ordered the panels for it, so the mural will not be directly on the building. Councilman Carl Strye Jr. re quested that council have an op portunity to see the design and approve it. The proposed mural will go on the side of the NCA building, which is located at 30 E. Belvi dere St. In conjunction with the council, NCA will also be look ing into lighting for the proposed mural.Inother business, Fischl stated that he will be making a motion to hire Steven Violett as a parttime police officer upon comple tion of all required paperwork at the upcoming meeting. Strye expressed that the library steam and heating system needs to be replaced. The library has re quested that the council pay for a study to identify what needs to be done. Strye recommended that council pay $13,400 for the study and use rescue funds for the replacement of the heating sys tem, which he planned to present at the September meeting. The council announced that they will be having a household hazardous waste drop-off event on Saturday, October 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be rain or shine for Northampton County residents only and will require an online pre-registra tion. The drop-off will be at 3835 Green Pond Rd., Bethlehem. More information on the event, registration, and accepted items can be found on Northampton County’sNazarethwebsite.Borough will also hold an electronic recycling day and shredding event on Saturday, October 15 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Nazareth Borough Park. The Borough of Nazareth an nounced that they are looking for a full-time clerk. Applications can be picked up at the Borough business office during regular business hours. The deadline for applications is September 23 at 4 p.m.The next Nazareth Borough Council meeting will be held Monday, October 3 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers.
NazPlan representative Geoff Reese attended the meeting to answer any questions or concerns that the borough had in regard to the adoption of the plan. Reese shared that the primary benefits of the plan under the state law enable the 10 represent ed communities to plan together in order to distribute required uses. Reese stated that the plan will provide advantages to trans portation for the communities to work together, as well as transpor tation and traffic implications of various land developments where each of the 10 municipalities will have their opinions recognized by the other communities involved. Council Vice President Carl Fischl asked, “We’re surrounded by warehouses, are you going to deal with that?” Reese explained that NazPlan will help with zoning in com munities by addressing what the appropriate locations are, relative to road and water infrastructure. Since one of the plan’s key ele ments is zoning, municipalities will be required to review zoning ordinances and update them to comply with the plan within the next two years. “One of the benefits associated with agreement specifies land use. There will be more scrutiny that will allow Nazareth to review the areas that are in closest proximity and review and raise questions,” saidCouncilmanReese.
Christopher Crook voiced that the plan gives the borough a seat at the table and allows Nazareth to make requests to neighboring munici palities.
