District Governors Install Three Members to Bath Lions
Wednesday, Oct. 16 was a good night for members of the Bath Lions Club. The District 14-K Governor made his visitation and installed three new members of the club, and they are moving forward with two new projects that will benefit the club as well as help returning wounded veterans of the armed forces and their families. New Members District Governor Linwood Gehris of Alburtis administered the oath of membership to Melissa Brown, Kyle Grube, and Zee Bartholomew. They were sponsored by Lion Daniel Spengler and welcomed by the club, which will celebrate its 85th year in 2013, dedicated to serving the community, district, state and internationally in Lionism. Lions Help Needy In making his visitation, one of many as he goes to all the Lions and Lioness clubs in District 14-K’s Northampton and Lehigh counties, Lion Gehris told how Lions have helped the needy, and specially those who have lost their sight. He noted the goals of Lions International’s president Wayne Madden of India-
INDEX:
napolis, which are dedication, preparation and teamwork, all toward carrying on the Lions motto of “We Serve.” Gehris has a theme, too, “Building Better Tomorrows”, as he and the Lions work to make the lives of needy people better. He cited three instances where Lions have helped: a woman who needed special contact lenses after having a disease that called for them; a woman who had a condition where she would fall suddenly, but a Lions-purchased dog helps detect when the illness comes on and she can sit down; and a co-worker who was light-hearted before suddenly becoming blind, became depressed, and who now is feeling better since Gehris referred him to the Center for Vision Loss in Allentown. “People appreciate what Lions do, and Lions feel better when helping people,” he said. Service Chevrons Gehris presented chevrons for their membership pins to four Lions who have been members for a total of 100 years: The Rev. Jay R. Wetzel, William Falstich, and James
Spengler, all for 30 years; and Jack Metcalf, for 40 years. He commended them for their dedication. Coat Drive It was announced that the Bath Lions Club will have a special winter coat drive, collecting used coats that are in good condition, so that they can be donated to the Purple Heart Foundation, which assists wounded veterans and their families. The Lions are asking that people bring their used (or new) winter coats to St. John’s Lutheran Church at 206 E. Main St., Bath, on Saturday, Nov. 17 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. They, in turn, will donate all of the winter coats to the foundation’s benefactors, bringing them needed warmth this winter, a season that is rapidly approaching. Christmas Flowers Another project that the Lions are having is selling coupons for the approaching Christmas holiday. The coupons will be good for colorful poinsettia plants and poinsettias in pots, wreaths, roping, Continued on page 7
At their meeting on Monday night, the Northampton Area School Board heard a presentation by financial advisor Jamie Doyle on a bond refunding and parameters resolution for the new middle school. Relative to the resolution, the board approved issuing general obligation bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 to refund the general obligation bonds, according to the borrowing resolution. The directors also approved the issuing of general obligation bonds in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $7,000,000 for the purpose of funding a portion of the middle school project, based on the parameters resolution. Both of these actions are in compliance with the Local Government Unit Debt Act of 1996. The board also accepted the approvals of the Pa. Dept. of Education on Plan Con Parts D and E, the first of which involves project accounting based on estimates, and the
second for design development for the middle school construction project. Other Matters • Approval was given to the memorandum of understanding between the school district and the Northampton Area Educators Association. • In personnel actions, the board okayed updated job descriptions for the high school principal and assistant principal; child-rearing leaves for Bethany Valimont; additions to the NASD volunteer master list of Angela Green at the high school and Tammie Keich in the borough schools. • The board also approved Megan Rehrig for a short term substitute sixth grade teacher at Moore Elementary; and the long term special education substitute teachers, Breann Williams at George Wolf Elementary, Erik Tracy at Moore Elementary, and William Neal at Siegfried Elementary. • It was noted with thanks the donation of macramé yarn from Ms. Candace Dailey for the Northampton Area Middle School, valued at $120.

Beautiful Fall Day For a Bike Ride A very cool yet very sunny sky greeted over 25 riders on the interpretive bike ride along the D & L trail on the morning of Saturday, October 13th. At the Cove Road Trail Head, the crowd was addressed by members of Lehigh Township Rails to Trails who discussed the history of Laurys Station and Treichlers, as well as some of the geology that has determined the path of the Lehigh River. Elissa Garofalo, President of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, spoke about the development and importance of the Rail Trail. As people rode north on the trail, stops were made in the area of the Treichlers dam to view the dam and to hear
HANKSGIVING Thursday, November 22nd Serving 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Mike Bender talk about the concrete phone booth located nearby. Later on the ride the roles of Rockdale and Lockport as stopping places along the railroad and canal routes were highlighted. Near Slatington, Everett Kaul of the Walnutport Canal Association talked about the history of the railroad, whose trestle pillars still stand. Mike Naugle, a member of the BertschHokendauqua-Catasauqua Watershed Association, gave a presentation about invasive species around the Slatington trail head. Near the end of the ride pictures of past structures at Lehigh Gap were shown to everyone. Riders then rested, ate and explored the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. Due to the success of this event, Lehigh Township Rails to Trails is planning to host a walk and another ride in the spring. Look for information about those events when the leaves start budding.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Beautiful fall weather we’re having, and it was great for Bath’s Halloween parade on Tuesday night. As usual, the cub scouts, boy scouts, and football teams with their cheerleaders made up most of the marchers and on wagon or truck floats. Great to see how excited they get. With the Bath Firefighters hosting the parade, they had lots of neighboring firefighters joining in. The Bath Food Bank had their volunteers walking along, too, taking in canned goods and money to buy more. With conditions as they are today, the food bank can use all they can get. Hats off to everyone who participated, the parade marshal, and the judges. Nothing like a good hometown parade for folks to enjoy. . . . Bath’s trick or treat will be this friday night. I took notice in last week’s paper that there are a lot of different dates. So wherever you live, when the kids come rapping on your door, give ‘em a big smile and lots of candy!! Oh, and don’t forget to turn on those porch and lawn lights
so they can see where they’re walking. It gets dark real early now in the fall, and we don’t want any of the young’uns getting hurt. . . . After Halloween comes Thanksgiving, and as we were reminded last week – Christmas, too!! Carol BearHeckman and her friends from the historical society are getting all set for their yearly house tour. From the looks of it, we’re gonna need more gas in the car, ‘cause the houses are a ways outta town. They’re always great to see, though, so what’s a little more gas. Besides, the price is going down now per gallon, so they say. . . . Bad accident down along 512 at Steuben Road the other day. One person was hurt seriously, and they had to call in Med Evac. Didn’t hear any more details. . . . Sorry to hear that Harvey Heckman passed away. He was always a leader in the church breakfasts that a group has been having for years, first up at the Terrace Restaurant and now at the Klecknersville Rangers fire hall. My sympathies to his family. . . .Looks like Elmira
and Pete will hafta get their dancing shoes on. Lehigh Township Fire Co. is having a Halloween dinner dance this Saturday. They’re having music that dates back to the ‘50s. That’s my speed. . . . As I’m penning this, the Detroit Tigers have won the American League pennant (beating those Yanks to a pulp), and those San Francisco Giants came back from trailing 3 games to 1 to the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League. I’m rooting for the Giants, but it all depends on who pitches the best and makes the least errors. . . .Lots of things to do, so until next week, have a great time and stay healthy!

Healthy Eating

Next month, our nation will congregate at the polls to determine the next president of the United States. While the right to vote is reserved for citizens 18 and older, this is a perfect time to explain to your children what it means to vote. Through this current event, parents can actively engage their children in the democratic process at home. “You cannot underestimate the role of a parent, especially in the learning process,” said Dr. Maurice Flurie, CEO of Commonwealth Connections Academy. “In an election year, parents can further help students learn about our country’s democratic process by incorporating fun “votes” into daily choices.” Educators at Commonwealth Connections Academy, a Pennsylvania public cyber school, want to emphasize the importance of continuing the conversations at home. Watch the news and discuss the coverage and the commercials and try these activities! 1. Don’t argue, debate! - Just like the candidates, propose a light-hearted “formal” debate. This offers children an opportunity to analyze their opinions, organize thoughts and speak in front of the group. Topics could vary from adding a puppy to the family to more serious topics depending on the age of the child. 2. Walk the footsteps of our nation’s leaders – Take a weekend day drip to local historical sites, government buildings or homes of past presidents. Many offer guided tours and have historical documents and artifacts on display. Try visiting Philadelphia, PA – give students an opportunity to see where our nation first began – or the historic battlefields of Gettysburg for an educational and fun family trip. 3. Vote for… dinner! - “Nominate” two dinner choices and explain that you will hold an election to determine the winner. Make campaign posters, a ballot box and paper ballots; have the children count the ballots to practice math skills and introduce new vocabulary such as nominate, election and more. 4. Back to (Electoral) College - Older students will review the Electoral College in class. At home, they can use the Electoral College Calculator to predict who will win the presidential election. 5. Climb the branches of government – Have younger children research and create a visual representation of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. This gives them an opportunity to get crafty. 6. Get Presidential with poetry – Have children start with, “If I were President, I would…” and encourage them to fill in the rest of the paragraph with what they would strive for as president. Send your thoughts to
9. And, as always, read with your children – Research shows that reading to children is the most important activity for building the foundation to successful reading. Check your library for children’s books about government, the election process, presidents and more for parents and children to enjoy together.

Comment On Sports By Lance Dermont
BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷
Monday night the World Series teams were set as it will be the San Francisco Giants vs. the Detriot Tigers. Both teams feature superior pitching including fireballing aces Justin Verlander of Detroit and Matt Cain of San Francisco. The managers are both former World Series cham-
pions and one would be hard pressed to find better skippers than Jim Leyland and Bruce Bochy. Hitting might seem to favor Detroit with Prince Fielder and triple crown winner (the first triple crown winner in baseball since 1967) Miguel Cabrera. However, the spunky Giants have now faced elimination an astounding six times in the playoffs so far and have won every game. Truly a superior feat! A wildcard in the matchup might be former Phillie Hunter Pence. He has been slumping of late but seemed to come alive in Game 7 of the NLCS vs. the Cardinals.
Freedom trips Northampton; Nazareth plays delayed game Northampton’s Konkrete Kids scored first, 13 points in the opening quarter, but Freedom High School bounced back and beat the locals, 3416, on Friday night. Quarterback Nick Cook threw for 193 yards on the night, and touchdowns of 6 yards to Dylan Cook and 22 yards to Kyle George, for that opening 13-0 lead. But the Patriots charged back with touchdowns by Josh Young and Chris Negron on passes from quarterback Brian Uliana. Young caught passes of 16 and 5 yards and Negron ran for 8 yards and 1-yard that hit paydirt. The final Freedom score was on a 36-yard Uliana pass to Pete
Hernandez. Uliana’s passes totaled less than Cook’s, 122 yard, but he completed 7 out of his 10 throws. Northampton’s season record fell to 2-6 overall and 1-6 in the Lehigh Valley Conference, while Freedom is now 3-5 and 3-4. It’s not going to get any easier for the black and orange. The Kids travel to Liberty at Bethlehem School District Stadium tomorrow night for that game at 7 p.m. Lightning Rules Allentown Central Catholic was ahead of the Nazareth Blue Eagles on Friday night, 27-21, with 7:15 to go in the fourth quarter, when the game was suspended because of lightning flashes.

teams met again on Saturday night to finish the contest. Up until play was halted on Friday, Central Catholic took an early 13-0 lead on Colin McDermott’s 4-yard run and Anthony Beck’s first scoring pass of 20 yards to Sean O’Donnell. But Nazareth started a comeback when quarterback Parish Simmons ran 47 yards for a TD and shortly after a Central score, Jordan Gray made a 4-yard run good for a touchdown. Simmons got the score tied at 21-21 on a 39-yard TD pass to Anthony Gaetaniello, but Central went ahead for the Friday night lead, 27-21, on a 31-yard pass to O’Donnell in the third quarter. The Allentown team also scored two points on a safety when Shabbar Bokhari was stopped trying to get out of the end zone. In addition to the passes and runs by Simmons and Gray, Alex Tommies caught passes good for 75 yards in the Friday night portion of the game. Central Wins, 27-21 The game ended on Saturday with the final score as it was on Friday, 27-21, Central Catholic the winner. After Nazareth forced a punt, Simmons passed 8 yards to Tommies for a first down at their 28-yard line. But Simmons fumbled on the next play and the Vikings recovered. Still, Nazareth had a chance to score after another Central punt. On 4th and 3 from the 35-yard line, Simmons passed 5 yard to Gaetaniello for a first down. But all hope was lost when, on the next play, Simmons’ pass to Tommies was intercepted with only 42 seconds left on the clock. Nazareth’s record is 5-3 overall and 4-3 in the LVC. They host Emmaus on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Council Passes Resolution
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News Northampton Borough Council, at its meeting this past Wednesday, Oct. 16, passed a resolution on a sewage module, okayed a request for use of the portable band shell, and appointed personnel to the Board of Health and Planning Commission. The resolution authorized the submission of a sanitary sewage module to the Pa. Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) for replacement of the Smith St. Pumping Station. Council voted to sign the curtailment service program agreement with Comverge, which provides power if needed during June to September for the wastewater treatment plant. During the previous three years of the agreement that the Water Authority was with the program, it was not needed. Signing the agreement would give the borough $13,262

each of the three years. Council approved the request of the Northampton Area School District for use of the portable band shell on Nov. 17 at Becky’s Drive-In in Berlinsville, Lehigh Township, so that there could be a bonfire celebration that night from 6-9 p.m. before the annual football game between Northampton and Catasauqua on Thanksgiving Day. Denise Prockl was appointed to the Board of Health, filling the vacancy left when Sherry Neff-Maikits moved out of Northampton. Nicholas Politi and Kenneth Hall were appointed to the Planning Commission, and it is expected that Duane Filchner will also re-apply. The commission will be needed as the project for the new Northampton Middle School moves along in the coming months. Other Matters • A check for $27,500 has been received from Northampton County gaming revenue and it
will be used for part of the cost for a new 100 k.w. generator at the Northampton Community Center. The center’s board of directors will provide the remaining $50,000 needed for the generator. • The final ten “Welcome to Northampton” banners have been placed on poles along Main Street. • It was announced that the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony will be held on Sunday, Nov. 25 at 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Main St. & Laubach Ave., where a donated tree will be placed by the borough’s street department. The rain date is Monday, Nov. 26 at 7 p.m. • About 1,600 runners are expected to participate in the Delaware Heritage Trail marathon on Nov. 4, starting at Smith St., west on Laubach Ave., west on 21st St., and connecting with the trail from there. • The borough will host its annual municipal auction on Saturday, Nov. 3, starting at 9 a.m. in the basement of the office building, with eight municipalities participating. The fire department will be selling breakfast food and lunch at a concession stand as part of the auction. • A new five-year sewer agreement has been worked out with Allen Township. • Borough Manager Gene Zarayko noted that because there was some funding left over from the 2012 street paving program, he had the public works department pave the parking lot area along Canal St. across from the Hungarian Club. In another paving note, Northampton County Dept. of Economic Development gave permission to use some funding that was left over from the Center St. parking lot paving program to buy two signs that were installed there. • Atlas Machining & Welding has donated $500 to the police department’s K-9 program. Police Chief Ronald Morey and K-9 Officer John Mullner participated in the health fair held at Sacred Heart Assisted Living with the K-9 dog and also did some fingerprinting for identification.

o sey i n Naza reth
Dear Nazareth, This has been a great day for me and it all started when I picked up a copy of The Home News (HomeNewsPa.com). Stopping for a cup of coffee I spent some time paging through this community paper that covers the Nazareth area and the neighboring boroughs and townships. Local news, editorials, sports and social events. I noticed an ad for an art exhibit that was opening this evening. Some of you readers might remember that I met a nice gentleman at the Martin on Main event in August. We have seen each other a few times and talk often on the phone, so I thought it would be fun to ask him to accompany me to this exhibit. Great idea, but I needed courage to make the call. Not always easy for me, but I felt the caffeine kicking in! So before I could talk myself out of it I called him at work, and he was enthused with the idea. So he is picking me up before dinner and we have a date! All Gussied Up (139 S. Main St. Nazareth) is a 1940’s inspired shop I’ve had my eye on, and I hoped I would find something to spruce up my outfit that I would wear tonight. Kelly is the owner and she was great in suggesting items that would work with my existing wardrobe. I saw a vintage style leopard skirt that would be fun and it fit well and on sale! So many accessories and other clothing items, beautiful necklace and earring sets. Can’t have enough jewelry, and that perfect shade of lipstick!

News Sermonette The Rev. Christina J. Keller
Covenant United Methodist Church, Moore Twp.
Building up to Love I recently preached on Ephesians 4:1-16 where Paul writes that there is “one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all …” Paul’s letters are more like sermons when one considers all the wisdom and counsel he provides for his readers. As he could not be with the church all the time, I’m sure his intent was to be like their guiding pastor, leading them to the truth in Christ. Keeping in mind that Paul is writing to a specific group of people and sometimes addressing specific situations, which we most often are not entirely aware of, he has some powerful words to share with us even today. I think my favorite nugget of wisdom from this particular section of his letter to the Ephesians comes in verse 15 where Paul writes, “By speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.” What this says to me is that when we, as followers of Christ, are mature in our faith, true in our words, and loving to others, work together as God has gifted each of us, the church will grow. And by the church I understand it to mean the universal church of God. Obviously, it’s not as easy as that, because we are human beings. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not always mature in my faith or words, or gracious, patient, and kind. I’m a work in progress. Some days I’m better at being a true follower of Christ than others. But I can still aspire to greatness! You can aspire to greatness! Every minute of every day is a new opportunity to speak, act and love in a Christ-like manner. If we each were to do our part in the church, using the gifts God has given us, the kingdom of God would be growing and love would abound. That’s Paul’s assertion. But it starts with you. Will you mature in your faith and seek to study and learn and grow more Christ-like? Get that Bible out and read of Jesus and his disciples. The lessons are there for the learning. 2227 Sun. – 7:30/9:30/11:30am S. Holy day & Vigil – 6:30, 9am; Vigil 7pm SACRED HEART CATHOLIC, Bath.

lier this year I opened an account at First Star Bank, and I looked up and my quaint bank had a new sign! In July, First Star Bank officially became part of ESSA Bank & Trust (14 S. Main St.). What a surprise! Jennifer Scanlan is my bank manager and she assured me that very little will change and my banking will continue as usual. I love the convenience of this bank location and the personal service I receive from all the tellers. You are not just a bank account number, and they remember my name! My date and I arrived at 6:00 p.m. at Nazareth Floral at Donahoe Farms (589 East Lawn Ave.) where the art exhibit by Fran Macdonald (www.artworkbyFranMac.com) was being featured. First appearance of the shop from the front parking lot, is that it is very small and quaint. Well it’s quaint but very large shop inside and so many fine quality American made items. We met the artist and had a lovely conversation. Fran explained to us how she enjoys working in watercolor and acrylic media and often works from photographs that she has taken. I was impressed with how she is able to capture the subject with such attention to fine detail. I have photographs from a recent trip to Tuscany that I am commissioning her to paint and then I can hang my “memory on the wall!” Fran Macdonald’s exhibit will continue through the month of October. We enjoyed a glass of wine from the Franklin Hills Vineyard (3625 Nazareth/Easton Rd. Easton). I loved a selection called Desire, a white grape wine with natural mango. My friend decided on a sweet and fruity blush wine called Catawba. There was also catering by the Daily Grind of Bath (116 E. Main St., Bath). Wonderful plates of mini savory beef or turkey sandwiches, fruity coleslaw, delicate pastry with Caesar salad filling, fruit and cheese, and delicious cookies! Tina Smith, president of the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce, was serving the wine and she suggested to us to try another wine called Harvest Berry and then eat a piece of chocolate that happened to be in bowls all over the shop. What a wonderful flavor! Chocolate and a glass of wine, life is good! I loved chatting with you! Pick up The Home News and let me know how your day turns out! “Nosey” Please contact me through the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce, tina@nazarethchamber.com.

Know The Weather
Where does the moisture of clouds come from? Since the sun produces no moisture, and since the air around us continuously presents clouds, which brings us rain, naturally the question arises: “Where does the moisture come from?” The answer is that the air, through evaporation, absorbs moisture from the earth and ocean at an amazing rate. Millions of tons of water are absorbed through evaporation every second! Thus, when a rain brings us hundreds of thousands, or millions of tons of water from the sky, this water has been picked up from the oceans, rivers, lakes and the earth itself-through evaporation! Without evaporation, which makes possible the transfer of moisture, large areas of the earth would be useless, desert wastes.

Parade Continued from page 9 ton Borough Council and the Exchange club float. Following that was a line-up of fire and rescue trucks from Northampton and surrounding area, with the sounds of their sirens and horns and the flashing red lights. Cub Scout Pack 26 had a big group of marchers along with their float, and then came the Northampton High School Big “N” marching band. The divisions that followed had more Cub Scouts from Pack 242, a line-up of limos, Atlas Cement Museum curator Ed Pany and his moving cement kiln float, the Middle School band, a pirate ship from Pack 99, Good Shepherd School
children, S.A.D.D. Chapter float, the N.A.A. football teams and cheerleaders, Northampton Ice Hockey Club, Lehigh Township A.A. float and marchers, a bagpipe band, a Life Is Great float, the Northampton Soccer Club, Cyclone Fast Pitch, Troop 809, several farm tractors, the Allentown Hobo Band, and bringing up the rear, commercial floats and golf carts. While there were thousands on the sidelines, there certainly were that many participants in the parade, all having a good time. Many of them threw candy and lollipops to the eager youngsters seated with their parents and kin at curbside. The rains, thankfully, held off and didn’t come until well after the parade was over. Street sweeping machines made quick work of the litter to clean up the streets after the parade was over.
