Primary election chooses Candidates for November

Voters turned out very lightly in all the Northampton County districts on Tuesday, May 21. But they did come up with candidates who will face each other in November. In some cases, they were uncontested.

For Borough Council in Bath, where three could be nominated from each party, the three named are Michael Reph, R, and Carol K. Bear and Michele Ehrgott, both D. These are the winning candidates for November in Nazareth, Northampton, and the townships in this area: CHAPMAN No Ballot Candidates NAZARETH MAYOR Jack Herbst, D COUNCIL, WARD 1 Christian Audenreid, R Richard Troxell, D

East Allen sells water assets, Lowers costs to residents

On May 6, 2013 the East Allen Township Municipal Authority (EATMA) completed the sale of all of its water assets to the City of Bethlehem (City) finalizing almost three years of negotiations.

“It isn’t often that six governmental agencies, EATMA, the City of Bethlehem, the Bethlehem Authority, East Allen Township, Allen Township and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission come together to complete a transaction that will benefit the customers located in all of East Allen Township and part of Allen Township for many years to come,” said EATMA Treasurer Bob Nyce.

“This transaction will provide a high quality, certified, comprehensive water source and a competent operator for the current and future water customers residing in the water service area previously served by the EATMA in Allen and East Allen Township.”

The transaction resulted in the City of Bethlehem assuming all of the assets and liabilities of the East Allen Township Municipal Authority and agreeing to expand the City’s PUC service area to include all of East Allen Township.

Initially, the City will continue to operate all of the existing smaller well systems within East Allen Township

and part of Allen Township and eventually providing service lines wherever possible and financially feasible in the future.

“When customers begin to enjoy the service provided by the City and experience the lower rates approved by the PA PUC, I think they will realize what a significant accomplishment this transaction is for our residents, said Don Heiney, EATMA Chairman.

Negotiations for this sale as well as the sale of the sewer assets to the Bath Borough Authority have been going on simultaneously beginning in

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip What wonderful weather we had for Memorial Day! It was perfect for the parades and memorial ceremonies all over the area, and just right, too, for the back yard cooking of hamburgers, hot dogs and steak, and games like beanbags, quoits (we usta use horseshoes) or volleyball. It’s also called the unofficial first day of summer, when we do all those things. From what I hear of the forecasts that are coming up, we’re gonna have summer temperatures from Wednesday on this week, including the dreaded humidity. Anyhow, that’s what we were looking ahead to for a long time. . . .The farmers market in town is open again, and from what I see in last week’s paper, they have lots of things planned to make it a fun event all during the summer months, as well as having fresh fruits and vegetables that will be coming along from local farms – strawberries and sweet corn especially. . . .

Grow UR Biz in 2013 – 10 Listening Lessons

By CAROL RITTER

Sometimes what’s on the menu just doesn’t work. We all have special needs when it comes to dining out. I call it “MENU”......... You know, you order regular and you get decaf, you order no onions and your salad is loaded with them, you order unsweetened and you get sweetened, or you order well-done and you get medium rare. Sometimes this is due to an honest mistake but many times it’s due to poor listening skills.

I’ve heard more people say, “she’s not listening to me, he’s not paying attention.”

A friend of mine ordered a sandwich with no onions, clearly stating that she cannot eat them and will get sick if she does. The waiter, not paying attention, orders the sandwich with no onions but then gives her a salad smothered with big purple onions. Now, if she said she will get sick on onions on the sandwich a person who pays attention would know, no onions on anything, a nonlistener doesn’t pay attention and it feels like they just doesn’t care about you, your needs or your onions.

Listening sometimes, takes thought and practice, try these lessons...

Lesson 1 - Pay attention to your customer, make them feel like they are the only one in the room Lesson 2. Stay focused on your task Lesson 3. Stop Talking you can’t listen if you are talking Lesson 5. Repeat back what the person just said to you Lesson 6. Make eye contact Lesson 7. Watch for body language, it’s another way to communicate Lesson 8. Be empathic

Lesson 9. Do not judge, help them get to what they need and how you can help Lesson 10. Don’t be distracted, the customer can easily identify your lack of interest Listening requires concentration. Sometimes we get so wrapped up with all the distractions in life we don’t take the time to listen, learn and serve our customers based on what they want, not what we want. So, don’t cry over onions, just listen. It may even lead to profitable relationship.

10th annual Amer.

Cancer Society’s Whitehall Relay

The 10th annual American Cancer Society’s Whitehall Relay for Life will take place at the Whitehall High School Football Stadium on June 22.

The event is free and open to everyone, even those not touched personally by cancer. The ACS hopes to see both residents and businesses alike from their market area, which includes Catasauqua, Northampton, and Whitehall Coplay School Districts.

Although the event is called a Relay, it’s not a run and it’s not a Whitehall resident only event. It’s a huge community party celebrating cancer survivors, remembering those who have succumbed to the disease and those fighting back with the hope that you or your loved ones don’t hear the words “You have cancer.”

Because this is a party, the

May 30-June 5, 2013 5

volunteers have worked very hard to offer events in which people would like to take part. The day’s events will include Andy, Cetronia Ambulance’s mini talking and roving ambulance will interact with children, Whitehall Fire Department’s Smoke House trailer will offer demonstrations, The Girl Scouts are doing kid’s events including yarn and bead hour, Minute to Win it Challenges, outdoor fun (hula hoops, bubbles, obstacle courses), painting fun, and Carnival Games, Live music by She Said Sunday, Country Rhythm Band, Don Slok & The Ravens, Rob & Marty, John Harvan, Valerie Borman, Just So, Victoria Lear & Mat Handley, and The Forgotten Mountain Boys, contests such as father/son and mother/daughter look-a-like, bubble gum blowing, pigtail, ponytail, braid and mohawk contest, and adult and kid hula hoop. In addition, a fashion show will be presented, a polish raffle, a 50-50 Raffle and Bingo are planned, with food and refreshments available. No pets, smoking, or alcohol are permitted at this event.

Five special ceremonies are scheduled. The opening ceremony commences at 10 a.m. on June 22. A Fight Back ceremony begins at 1 p.m. with the seven mayors proclaiming June 22 and 23 Relay Weekend. The mayors include Don Wunderler of Bath, Barbara Schlegel of CaContinued on page 13

SOCCER✷ ✷ ✷

Bayern Munich defeated Bundesliga rival Borussia Dortmund 2-1 this past Saturday to win the coveted Champions League title. The match was held at Wembley Stadium in London before a raucous German crowd.

The winning goal was scored by Dutch international Arjen Robben who has struggled of late in big games

including the previous two Champions League finals he was in with Bayern as well as the World Cup final with the Netherlands.

Bayern Munich is only going to get stronger with famed Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola replacing Jupp Heynickes next year after his one-year sabbatical. They also have recently signed Dortmund star Mario Goetze and are rumored to be getting Polish striker Robert Lewandowski also from their German rivals.

There recently has been talk of Spanish soccer being the preeminent nation in the world but recent results suggest the true power lies north in Germany.

Removing Dams Still Big Question

More than 20 years ago, the Northampton County Federation took part in a ceremony that opened fish ladders on the Easton Dam. The hope was that the migrating shad in spring would take a left turn there, scale the “ladder” or passageway and lay their eggs for young shad in the Lehigh River. Millions were spent on the passageway, but very little success was achieved. It just didn’t go as planned.

Now a study has been completed that suggests removal of both the Easton and nearby Chain Dam on the Lehigh that says it would improve the shad migration as well as help in flood control.

The Pa. Fish & Boat Commission, Wildlands Conservancy and Lehigh River Fish Passage Improvement Feasibility Study claims that is the best option, rather than just partial removal.

The engineering study cost $350,000, paid by N.O.A.A. and manager of the New Jersey Zinc superfund. To remove both dams, something the PFBC is encouraging statewide with regard to lowBy HOBBY head dams, isn’t cheap either, costing perhaps $10 million altogether.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO 275th Anniversary book Being printed for June

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Everyone is still talking about the parade, people are hoping for another pig roast and the smiley face that was mysteriously painted in the parking lot at Wunderler’s Market remains. Nearly a year after the 275th Anniversary Celebration in Bath, the excitement has not worn off.

And just to make sure the memories of that special week live on, the anniversary committee and co-chair Fiorella Mirabito are proud to announce that the Bath 275th Anniversary Book is currently being printed. The anniver-

sary book, roughly 100 pages filled with memories, photographs and news clippings collected by the Anniversary committee from the celebration that spanned nearly two and half years will be on sale in early June.

Quantities of the publication will be limited so get your copies early. The hard cover book will be available at the Bath Borough Office, Daily Grind, Hayes Flowers and S. Seem Antiques & Artisans for $26. The cost covers the production of the book and any funds raised will be put to the general fund of the Borough.

the City of Bethlehem and Bath Borough Authority thus relieving East Allen Township of any direct service responsibility for water and sewer and saving our customers money.

The sale of assets from EATMA to the City included an approved PENNVEST loan application that the EATMA had secured previously with the help of several local legislators; Senator Pat Browne, State Representatives Marcia Hahn and Julie Harhart who all supported the PENNVEST loan request.

“We are hopeful that the City is able to take advantage of all of the engineering and legal work that was already expended by using some or all of the approved loan to fund improvements within the EATMA service area for the benefit of our residents,” Nyce said.

Residential customers will no longer pay the quarterly fee to provide administrative and maintenance support for water and sewer service that was necessary to operate the EATMA. Instead, water rates will be set and approved by the PA PUC and sewer service will be provided directly by the Bath Borough Authority.

East Allen Township residents who are not located in one of the current service areas for water and sewer will continue to rely on individual on-lot well and septic systems and will not be affected by any of these transactions.

Dear Nazareth, May flowers are blooming! But I didn’t expect I would be covering my flower beds to protect the new growth from chilly temperatures! I had to rummage around for old blankets and sheets that were already bagged to take to the second hand shop. This is a new experience for me, being on guard for my flowerpots and the dangers of a spring frost!

Tina Smith, President of the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce sent me a notice of a “Mother’s Day” Open House. This event featured nine businesses and was located at the Chamber Office; a lovely building on Main St. in Nazareth, that once was the home of the Martin family of Martin Guitars, built in 1857.

Tastefully Simple was represented by Rebecca PieperBohun, she offered a wide selection of easy-to-prepare foods. Although I love “cooking from scratch,” there are those moments when you are short of time and having the pantry stocked with convenient appetizers or meals does make life a bit easier.

Sheryl Gerkovich was demonstrating the Arbonne product line. Arbonne is a Swiss company that provides natural, hypo-allergenic, botanical skin care products including

makeup and hair care for the whole family. I have been getting my products from my mother’s neighbor who sends them to me. I use the “Calm Skin Care,” which has been the perfect product. It gives my skin a balanced hydration with soothing botanicals.

Premier Jewelry Designs was hosted by Dana Elekes and she had a great selection of jewelry! Dana offers home party plans and she has over 700 items! I have my eye on a beautiful piece called the “Chiffon” necklace and of course it has matching earrings!

It was fun to meet Karen Hickey of So Put Together and hear what she loves doing... going through your closet!

And since it’s time for spring cleaning and organizing it works for me! Karen helps sort through your clothes and decides what garments are in style, what needs to go (consignment shop or donate) and helps you discover your personal style. She will create 10 outfits based on your current clothing with mix ‘n’ match suggestions. Karen also has partners that specialize in hair and makeup and other services to help you feel “so put together!”

Winnie’s photo album pictures wonderful creations for any holiday, seasonal and special occasions, and candy bouquets- so good you could eat them! YUM! I met the owner of Herbs to Your Success (64 S. Main St.) Vanessa Sabatine. Her business is a “wellness spa.”When my mom visits next time I’m going to treat her to a massage and an herbal wrap, it sounds so relaxing. Vanessa also carries an assortment of natural and organic products including special teas and lovely scented soaps.

Rodan & Fields (www. idealskin.myrandf.com) is a skin care company and Louise Loehwing was demonstrating some of the product line. The Essentials Foaming Sunless Tan item is something I was interested in.

This unique formula gives a natural-looking tanned color without exposure to harmful rays.

Living in Nazareth introduced me to a great local community paper. Meg Schell of The Home News explained to me that this paper covers the areas of Bath, Chapman, Northampton and Nazareth and surrounding townships. Its family oriented with local news, especially the kind of news the daily papers will not print. And it’s only 50 cents per issue ($23 per year)! A fun read!

Northampton Continued from page 9

said the ceremony was a memorial tribute to those who have served our country in the past and present, millions of whom gave their lives in the cause of freedom.

Daniel Weaver, Commander of VFW Post #4714, said the real meaning of Memorial Day is to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. A former Naval chaplain, he said the Bible gave hope and direction to those who served, and even after returning home. “Let us not forget their sacrifices,” adding, “Remember those families who have an empty seat at the table.”

He called upon the populace to take time at 3 p.m.

Monday from their backyard barbecues for a moment of silence in memory of those who gave their lives fighting for freedom.

The Northampton Area High School Big “N” Band played a selection of music, and then memorial wreaths of flowers were placed in front of the flagpole near an arrangements of crosses in the shape of a cross.

Placing the wreaths were Bruce Shellock, Commander, and Richard Rice, First Vice Commander of CWV Post #454; Thomas Hawk, Sr., Commander, and Jack DeLabar, Senior Vice Commander of Fred A. Snyder American Legion Post 353; Den-

nis Makovsky, Commander, and Nathaniel Smith, Senior Vice Commander of VFW Post #7293; and Daniel Weaver, Commander, and Larry Schlittler, Senior Vice Commander of VFW Post #4714. A joint firing squad of veterans from the posts then fired the 21-gun salute.

“Taps” was played as the American flag was raised.

Bagpipers Gene Kutzler, Walter Hafner, and Tim Kutz played “Amazing Grace” and the ceremony concluded with Msgr. Baver pronouncing the benediction.

Bob Solderich and his crew of volunteers were thanked for all the work they did in building the memorial plot at Washington & Dewey Aves. where it intersects at 14th St. After the program, everyone was invited to have refreshments at the Northampton Community Park at Laubach Ave. & Smith Lane.

Minsi Lake In Draw Down

The PFBC wants repairs made to the Minsi Lake spillway in upper Northampton County. It includes replacing several small concrete patches and sealing the concrete joints and several cracks on

the surface of the lake’s dam spillway.

To do it, they’ve slowly been drawing down Minsi Lake.

The PFBC expects the repairs to be completed in June, and then the lake will be returned to its normal water level.

That’s good news for the Northampton County Junior Conservation School, which annually uses the lake to train its students on how to safely paddle their canoes, especially if they overturn when they take to either the Lehigh or Delaware River later. The school will be run from July 14 thru 21.

Although it’s a Fish & Boat Commission dam, the Dept. of Environmental Protection regards it as high-hazard and unsafe because the spillway isn’t large enough under present regulations. The classification is also warranted due to the potential for property damage and loss of life that could occur should the dam fail.

The PFBC manages 12 dams that were, or currently are, considered as high-hazard and unsafe. Minsi Lake is one of six statewide which remain unfunded. The PFBC estimates it needs $43.1 million in construction funding to fix those six dams, including $3.1 million to rebuild the spillway at Minsi.

Bath Rod & Gun Club. After coffee and donuts they’ll convene shortly after 9 a.m., with Joe Kleiner of Montgomery County presiding. The division includes Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia and Schuylkill counties.

If there’s anything interesting to report, we’ll have it in a future column.

Golden Gleams

My only fear is that I may live too long. This would be a subject of dread to me.

Character must be kept bright, as well as clean.

It is in trifles, and when he is off his guard, that a man best shows his character.

Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function. Living is the functionary.

News Sermonette The Rev. Edward L. Bean

Pastor, Calvary Evangelical United Methodist Church, Tamaqua

A Lasting Memorial

Is it possible that one individual can have a lasting influence upon others? Our Memorial Day celebrations remind us of departed family, friends and fallen heroes who have enriched our lives. The influence of great personal relationships is not terminated by death.

History records that Augustine Birrell visited a Cornish village in the British Isles. Birrell was impressed by the atmosphere of joy and sheer goodness which gravitated among these simple fisher folk. He asked an older fisherman to explain the remarkable friendliness and goodness of the village. Reverently removing his cap the elderly man said: “There came a man among us and his name was John Wesley.” That evangelist and Founder of Methodism’s simple gospel message of God’s love renewed the fisherman’s community from its sinful ways to joyful Christian living. Many years had passed, but God’s blessing on Wesley’s preaching lived on in this village.

The New Testament records an interesting challenge from the heroes of the faith: “Abel died, but through his faith, he is still speaking” (Hebrews 11:4). We need never live isolated lives only unto ourselves. We all have a network of influence we will leave behind for either good or evil.

As we celebrate Memorial Day 2013, let us remember with love, respect and awe those who have gone before us. God grant that when we leave this world, we shall leave something which is still speaking for Jesus Christ and a joy filled Christian life. May all who come behind us find us faithful. bring in paper products for donation to Hope Lodges in Hershey and Philadelphia.

These are locations cancer patients and their families can stay free of charge while they are receiving their cancer treatments.

More volunteers are needed to help on June 22nd. If interested, please call Shari Noctor at 610-262-5241.

The American Cancer Society is the only business that wants to put itself out of work. We hope it will not take another 100 years before cancer is out of our vocabulary.

Please come out and be a part of this great event.

Game Commission Wants clubs To host junior Pheasant hunts After more than a decade of success, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is working to expand its Junior Pheasant Hunt Program and is seeking partners to do so.

The commission is asking sportsmen’s clubs and other conservation organizations to meet an increasing demand created by the youngsters who want to participate in the program.

And this year, clubs have the opportunity to host not one, but two organized junior pheasant hunts, and have been given leeway to accept more participants at the events they host.

Those new options are among the many reasons interested clubs might want to start planning their events now.

The Game Commission has organized junior pheasant hunts since 2002 as a way to create more hunting opportunities for both prospective and current junior hunters ages 12 to 16. To participate, junior hunters must have successfully completed the basic Hunter-Trapper Education course, however, they do not need to purchase a hunting license.

Recently, the program’s popularity has swelled. In 2012, 26 events filled within a two-week period, and the Game Commission estimates at least 3,000 more young hunters would take part if given the opportunity.

The program has great potential to be an effective hunter-retention tool. Ninety perContinued on page 16

cent of junior pheasant hunt participants purchased hunting licenses in the same year.

To qualify to host, clubs must open event registration to the public and the hunt must be held on lands open to public hunting; which could include State Game Lands or acreage enrolled in the Hunter Access Program.

The Game Commission provides, free of charge, a limited number of pheasants to host clubs. Pheasants are provided on a first-come, first-served basis at a rate of two legal birds per participant, and the commission will do its best to accommodate all appropriate requests.

Changes to the guidelines governing junior pheasant hunts were made to help clubs that saw demand for such programs that was too great to accommodate with a single event. Previously, the Game Commission capped junior pheasant hunts at a maximum of 50 participants.

Now, the clubs can decide how large an event they can handle. The addition of a second day also allows for some flexibility in meeting the demand, said Samantha Pedder,

outreach coordinator for the Game Commission.

This year, clubs may host events on either Saturday, Oct. 12 or Oct. 19, or both.

Applications and more information, including a “Junior Pheasant Hunt Planning Guide,” can be found on the Pennsylvania Game Commission website. Applications to host junior hunts must be returned to the Pennsylvania Game Commission and received by Friday, July 26.

Junior pheasant hunts help to bolster a youth’s interest in small-game hunting, which has seen recent declines in participation. The events provide an opportunity for those youngsters who are interested in hunting, but might not try it on their own, and for those who don’t hunt because they don’t have anyone to mentor them while afield.

Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe urged local clubs to take part in the effort.

“The future of hunting is directly related to the continuing participation of young Pennsylvanians,” Roe said.

“The goal is to successfully compete with all the other activities and recreational opportunities that vie for a young person’s time. It’s truly a challenge for the Game Commission, as well as Pennsylvania’s nearly 1 million

If your club or organization is interested in hosting an event this year, please contact Samantha Pedder at sapedder@pa.gov or by phone at 717-787-4250 x 3327.

New Weight Restriction Posted on 329

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today lowered the posted weight restriction on the PA 329/Cementon Bridge from 37-tons (40-tons for combinations) to 31-tons (37-tons for combinations). The Bridge traverses the Lehigh River in Whitehall Township, Lehigh County and Northampton Borough, Northampton County.

"For the safety of the motoring public, our engineers are immediately implementing this new weight restriction," District Executive Michael W. Rebert said. "We hope to make repairs to the bridge soon, but ultimately this bridge needs to be replaced to have no posted weight restrictions. We currently don't have the resources to do that. If Governor Corbett's transportation funding plan is passed, the state will be able to make investments like this that are so important to keeping our communities moving."

A recent inspection of the PA 329/Cementon Bridge showed significant deterioration to several of the floor beams on the Bridge. The new weight restriction will remain in place until emergency repairs are scheduled to restore the weight restriction to 37-tons (40-tons for combinations). For now vehicles weighing over 31-tons or combinations weighing more than 37-tons must seek an alternate route.

The Cementon Bridge is a Through Truss Bridge built in 1932 and is 575 feet long and 22 feet wide. Repairs were made to the truss in October 2009. This area of PA 329 has an average daily traffic of 16,477 vehicles.
