Northampton Borough Council tables Willow Brook decision

The fun continues at Northampton Senior Center Submitted by KRISTA AMBROSINO October was a busy month at the Northampton Senior Center as we had double parties in less than a week. Polkas by "The Ultimate Sound" had toes tapping and swinging during Oktoberfest on October 26. Then, of course, followed the Halloween party on October 31 with records spun by Tom. The senior

center had loads of fun with goodies and prizes. Your days can be full while spending it with friends, or participating in one or more of the many activities at our center. Keep in mind; the winter won't be long while spending time at the Northampton Senior Center. Area adults 60+ are welcome. For more information contact Krista Ambrosino at 610-262-4977.

Bath Council addresses Parking in the Borough

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their monthly meeting on Monday, November 6, the Borough of Bath Council addressed future parking plans for the borough. Since last month’s meeting, the council’s Community Development Committee has been exploring options for parking on Old Forge Drive and in the borough’s business district.

Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman, head of the committee, outlined the committee’s proposed plans for “treating all parking areas in Bath fairly and equally,” in addition to “maximizing parking.”

One of the committee’s pro-

posed methods for parking regulation is hang tags, which are already used in both Bethlehem and Nazareth.

Parking hang tags, explains Heckman, provide “maximum, flexible space usage” without the need for signs or meters. These hang tags can be renewed every year.

Heckman proposed four types of hang tags. The first would be blue tags for the 41 new diagonal spaces on Old Forge Drive. They could be provided at a $40 fee, with a maximum limit of two.

If a car is parked in one of these spaces without a tag, it will be Continued on page 6

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their workshop meeting on Thursday, November 2, Northampton Borough Council voted to table their conditional use decision for proposed single family homes at the site of Fuller family-owned Willow Brook Farm. The Northampton Planning Commission recommended that the council approve the plan for eleven single-family homes, following certain conditions. One of those conditions is that the Willow Brook Farm Trust post an escrow for a traffic light at Howertown Road and Fourth Street. However, a traffic light can cost at least $250,000.

Robert Dwyer, consultant for the Willow Brook Farm Trust, says the trust does not have the money for the escrow right now.

In addition, the intersection as of now does not meet the warrants that would require a traffic light.

Dwyer says that the trust is not seeking to avoid responsibility, and will pay for their fair share of intersection improvements. However, he asked that council consider something else the trust can provide in lieu of an escrow, such as a lean or fee.

“The Fullers do not want to argue or fight,” said Dwyer. “All they want to do is protect their farm.”

Borough Solicitor Steven Goudsouzian agreed that the cost for a traffic light is a “big number.” However, he explained to council that the condition was made so that, if the trust does not make the intersection improvements, money is there to do so.

Dwyer says that, if the condition is required, the trust would

have no choice but to withdraw their plan.

Council chose to table the decision and take it under advisement. All members of council agreed that more discussion is needed, while Dwyer said the trust plans to discuss alternatives with Goudsouzian in the interim. Council plans to return to their next meeting on November 16 with a decision.

Other news in Northampton: • Residents of Newport Avenue stood before council to bring attention to a property owner who is blocking an onstreet parking spot with a pile of gravel. This is the second time neighbors have stood before council.

In a letter, the borough’s code enforcement officer said the property owner is awaiting more materials for a wall construction project. However, neighbors say the gravel has been in the street for several months.

The code enforcement officer in his letter asked that “the people complaining have a little more patience.”

However, residents of Newport Avenue feel as though they have been patient for long enough.

“It is getting ridiculous,” they all agreed. “It is out of hand now.”

• Bernie Hahn of 29th Street stood before council and asked about drainage repairs to his street. He sent several emails to a borough individual about reviewing the plans and received no response.

He explained that water

VETERANS DAY 2017 IN MEMORY AND HONOR… During the past year, we have had the privilege of serving the families of Veterans. We are honored to be of service to them in their time of need, just as their loved one was there in our time of need. On Veteran’s Day, we pay tribute to those who served our country in the name of Freedom, the same Freedom that allows us to serve them.

Our prayers are with all the Veterans, their families, and with the brave men and women serving our country today. We also wish to thank those from our area’s veteran service groups who volunteer their time in honor guards and firing squads bestowing the greatest honor for their deceased comrades.

37th Annual GWHS Christmas House Tour- The Eagle submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The Governor Wolf Historical Society is proud to announce they will be holding the 37th Annual Christmas House Tour on Saturday, December 2. The tour features seven private, historic homes in Bath and the surrounding countryside. The theme for this year's tour is "Coverlets - A Warm Christmas.” Finish your day at the society's Wolf Academy Historic Site with a free Colonial Family fun day featuring hearth cooking, demonstrations, colonial crafts, museum, carolers, crafts for children, raffle, display of antique coverlets, greens for sale, and food by Daily Grind.

Each week The Home News will feature one of the historic houses on the tour.

The third featured house came very close to being demolished in 2008. Christ Church had purchased the 1813 stone Joseph Steckel House with that intention over 30 years prior. They enjoyed many years of rent, but had evicted the tenant due to too many needed repairs and now the building was declared uninhabitable. One roof hole had resulted in rotted wood beams and floor all the way to the basement. But because of the Bath Historic District and their location on S. Chestnut Street they reconsidered and offered the building for sale.

Darrin and Carol Heckman purchased the building and Darrin did the land development plans, the meetings with zoning, planning and council and the subdivision. Because of difficulty con-

necting to the storm sewer, they put in a state-of-the-art brick paver infiltration parking lot to be shared by the church and the Joseph Steckel House.

The first step was to demolish the garage and the small frame addition of the rear of the house.

The aluminum coverings on the two front doors were removed to discover that the left door had originally been a window. The threshold of the original door is stone and the left newer threshold is slate. A new roof was put on and the chimneys were rebuilt with a more appropriate shape.

The original attic windows were refurbished and the remaining windows were replaced with 12over-12 aluminum-clad wood windows. The window cutouts in the original front door were filled in with appropriate wood panels. The surrounds of both doors were recreated styled after similar period buildings in the area. The stone was repointed with off-white raised V mortar, similar to period homes in the area. Outside the electric lines to the house were removed and the power runs underground.

Inside, no original walls were altered or removed. The wide pine plank floors were exposed on the first and second floor. All four fireplaces were made functioning again with either gas or wood-burning logs. The chimney cupboards and brick hearths were restored as well. Inside 95% of the walls are the original restored plaster walls.

In September 2012 Dawn Eagle moved into the first floor

from Bethlehem, encouraged by her mother Jeanne. Shortly thereafter, Jeanne left Easton and moved into the second floor. And team Eagle has been roosting in Bath ever since.

The Joseph Steckel House was the first building on S. Chestnut Street in Bath to be restored. The impact has had a ripple effect on the neighborhood. Since its completion, the church, the parsonage, the hotel and six other buildings have all undergone some degree of restoration.

Tickets for the tour go on sale November 11. They are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the tour. They are on sale at Bath Drug, S. Seem Antiques in Bath, Curt’s Cyclery in Nazareth, Miller Supply Ace Hardware in Allen Township and Snow Goose Gallery in Bethlehem.

Tickets are for sale the day of the tour at the society's historic site at 6600 Jacksonville Road, Bath just off Route 512, three miles north of Route 22, between Bethlehem and Bath.

For further information, call 610-837-9015.

from all their courses who are skilled, critical-thinkers and complex problemsolvers. I spent two days there and our trainers were Colonels from the United States Army. To say it was a fascinating experience would be an understatement. I remember learning about leadership, collaborative systems (teams) with an emphasis on continuing education (training).

When small businesses hire new employees and don’t train them, it’s a recipe for disaster.

The military sets the highest standard for training. It starts with boot camp where you learn the systems and continues throughout your military career.

towed. Street parking would remain open.

The second type of hang tag would be green tags for business owners to purchase so that they can park on the street in front of their businesses without worrying about two hour limits.

The third and fourth types of parking tags would be a yellow night and day pass and an orange day pass for the municipal lot.

The committee also made other suggestions, such as painting lines for parking throughout the entire borough, and eliminating numbered spaces, which Heckman says actually discourage parking.

All of the ideas Heckman and the committee presented are recommendations council will work with when moving forward with parking enforcement ordinances.

Council welcomes public feedback.

“I think we are definitely on the right track,” Council President Mark Saginario said of the recommendations.

To continue discussion on both parking and traffic in the borough, the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission will give a final presentation on its Traffic, Pedestrian, and Safety Study at the next council meeting on December 4 at 7 p.m.

Other news in Bath: • The Bath Christmas Tree Lighting will take place on Saturday, November 25 at 6 p.m. at Monocacy Creek Park. There will be horse and carriage rides, snacks, and some very special guests.

• Council praised the Bath Volunteer Fire Department for their work during trick-or-treat and for last month’s successful open house.

“The whole building down there looks wonderful,” Councilwoman Phyllis Andrews said of the renovated fire station.

• Councilman Michael Reph gave a short presentation on the expected traffic increase the borough may see due to the multiple warehouses being built in both East Allen and Allen Townships.

There could be at least 200 to 300 trucks per day travelling through the borough.

“We are going to get hit hard,” Reph said.

God Responds To Thanks

God is responsive to those who thank Him. In 2 Chronicles 5:13-14, we see how God responded to those who were giving Him thanks—He filled the temple with the glory of His presence! “It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD…that then the house was filled with a cloud…for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.” At times, our congregation has sensed the glory of the presence of the Lord like this in response to our singing of praise and thanks to Him. Such times are almost too glorious to explain in words.

The Bible commands, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

When we obey and fulfill His will by giving Him the thanks that rightly belongs to Him, we can expect a blessed response from Him. In Luke 17:11-19 we read that one of ten lepers Jesus cleansed from their leprosy returned “and with a loud voice glorified God…giving him thanks.” Christ’s question, “Where are the nine?” reveals that He was expecting their thanks also. Then He responded, “thy faith hath made thee whole” indicating that missing parts of his body affected by the leprosy were miraculously restored! His giving of thanks had elicited this amazing response from our Lord!

In one of our church services years ago, a woman who had a lump on her wrist and could not close her hand, was healed while we were singing a song of thanksgiving to the Lord. When I saw her moving her hand with a look of astonishment on her face, I asked her what had happened. She told me that the lump had shrunk down and she was miraculously able to close her hand! The chorus we were singing was, “I will bless thee O Lord, I will bless thee O Lord. With a heart of thanksgiving, I will bless thee O Lord.”

Church holds Annual event To welcome The Christmas Season Submitted by NINA WEISS

Hundreds of nativities of all styles, materials, origins and sizes will be on display for families, friends and neighbors to view at the 18th Annual Open House Nativity Display.

Children are also encouraged to come and take in the sights and make a nativity craft in the children’s nativity center.

People in the community willing to share nativities with Hope Lutheran Church for the event are welcome to do so. Those that would like to offer a nativity for the weekend can bring it to the church on Friday, November 24 between the hours of 1 and 5 p.m. for display and plan to retrieve it Sunday after 3 p.m.

The Open House Nativity Display at Hope Lutheran Church has grown in size and popularity each year since the event’s creation in 1999.

Bath Lions Have Membership Drive

by HOME NEWS STAFF With the number of members gradually falling, the Bath Lions Club held a membership drive last Wednesday. A number of persons, including the Mayor and Councilmen, and other prominent people, attended.

Club president Jack Metcalf, a 45-year member, explained to the guests what the club has done for the community and for District 14-K as the club approaches its 90th anniversary. In Lions related projects, they include L.V. Center for Vision Loss, Journey for Sight, Beacon Lodge for the blind, Leader Dog for the Blind, and Lions Youth Seminar. For the community, the Lions have sponsored Boy Scout 33 for over 80 years, give a high school scholarship annually, support the Bath Area Food Bank, Meals on Wheels,

Bath Paw Park, Northampton County Junior Conservation School, decorate the Christmas tree, and do Adopt-a-Highway.

They also paid for all the street signs in the Borough of Bath, pay for eyeglasses for the needy, and helped build the gazebo in Keystone Park District 14-K Governor Don Kaufman’s theme this year is “Every Member Matters” and that’s what Lion Metcalf emphasized.

This past Friday and Saturday, the Lions operated fund-raising stands at Ahart’s Market and the T & C Restaurant to benefit the Bath Area Food Bank.

Two weeks ago the club lost a faithful member to illness and death, Lion Charles Billings.

“The more hands we have, the better we can serve” is a motto the membership chairman said.

at me are “building levels of relationships and understanding capabilities.” That’s what teams are all about. I believe you can’t inspire anyone until you understand him or her and part of that understanding is knowing what he or she is able to achieve.

I’m guessing every single veteran has experienced team training from when they were serving our country. Why not consider training your staff on how to be a member of a team, understanding their potential and, most importantly, how to get the “me” out of team? Teams embrace a culture on one-for-all and all-for-one.

I wrote this piece in honor of all veterans and those who are serving in the military today. Veterans Day is November 11; appreciate those who serve our country. Celebrate veterans by attending events, parades, take a vet to lunch, post on your social media and more.

really transferrable to the private sector?”

“The lessons are hugely transferrable. The things that make the military so good and able are very basic things, such as building levels of relationships and understanding capabilities. I find leadership in the commercial world is extraordinarily similar. There are differences. Military leadership is easier. Money is not a factor — and you can’t decide on your own to promote your own people, so no one asks for raises. So in some ways, the military has it easier. In other ways, civilian companies can be more adaptable and nimble. They’re aren’t burdened by the level of law and regulation and bureaucracy that the military is.”

highly specialized, requiring both dedication and skill. The jobs range from maintaining engines to handling weaponry along with a multitude of other assignments that keep the ship mission ready at all times, according to Navy officials.

Michael has carried lessons learned from his hometown into his military service.

“I played hockey growing up on multiple teams and through my experiences, I've found the teams that are most successful are the ones that have teamwork and a strong work ethic,” he said.

“I like to use these same experiences of hard work to portray to the sailors within my division and department to be successful as possible.”

Destroyers are warships that provide multi-mission offensive and defensive capabilities. They are about 510 feet long and can be armed with tomahawk land-attack cruise missiles, variants of the SM missile family, advanced gun systems and close-in gun systems.

Destroyers are deployed globally and can operate independently, as part of carrier strike groups, surface action groups, or amphibious readiness groups.

defense to counter threats to friendly forces posed by manned aircraft, anti-ship, cruise and ballistic missiles.

It was commissioned in 2011 and named after Admiral Raymond A. Spruance. He was a key naval commander during WWII, leading U.S. naval forces during two of the most significant naval battles that took place in the Pacific Theatre: Battle of Midway and Battle of the Philippine Sea. He later served as the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines.

At Midway, Spruance scored the first major victory for the United States over Japan; generally considered to be the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

“USS Spruance is responsible for 22 mission areas, with 350 people onboard each Sailor actively supports multiple missions, said Cmdr. Joshua Menzel, commanding officer of Spruance. “As a member of the Pacific Fleet, the crew of USS SPRUANCE patrol the same waters and trains to perform the same missions as the Sailors Admiral Spruance commanded during WWII.” Michael has military ties with family members who have previously served and is honored to carry on the family tradition.

“My grandfather served on a carrier during the Vietnam War before he transferred to the Pennsylvania Army National Guard to serve out his last 20 years,” he

Beautiful Christmas Trees, Holiday Decorations, LIGHTS! Stop in today for best selection! said. “It's an honor and privilege to serve in the Navy just as my grandfather did and to be able to bond over our experiences.”

Michael’s proudest accomplishment was earning his commission into the Navy.

“It’s not only important to me but to my family as well because I am the first to commission as an officer,” he added.

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied-upon assets, Michael and other Spruance sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes.

“I am part of an organization that very few Americans can ever say they are a part of and it is a privilege to serve with such highquality people,” said Michael. “It truly is a humbling experience.”

21 years old in 1963, Ron Luckock chose photography as his assignment.

He was assigned to shoot, as he says, “everything the Air Force did,” from equipment moves and news events to awards ceremonies and daily life in Vietnam. He served for four years, getting out of the service in 1967, and subsequently attended Santa Barbara City College and the Brooks Institute on the G.I. Bill to continue his studies in photography, eventually earning a B.A. in Photographic Arts.

He went on to work in a photo lab in Washington D.C. and then as a machine operator at Ingersoll Rand in Phillipsburg, NJ until his retirement in 2000. Mr. Luckock is still a photographer, documenting bridges, railroads, and new construction across the Lehigh Valley.

Church Altars

by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The first Bath church altar was in the "Bath Kirche" (first picture) built in 1834. It once stood on Washington Street, where the Bath Municipal Building stands presently. But when it was torn down the altar was saved and is now in the Fellowship Hall of Christ Church on S. Chestnut Street (second picture). The third picture in the Bath Museum shows the altar of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The photo was taken around 1941-1944. Take note of the serviceman flag above the altar. The forth photo shows the interior of Christ Reformed Church taken in 1898. The fifth photo from the Bath Museum shows a plate with an artist's rendition of the altar of St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Some of the altars in Bath look the same today and some look very different. People travel all over the world to marvel at church interiors - take the time to visit all three of our churches in Bath and admire the craftsmanship and beauty of the altars we have in our Bath churches today.

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 November 18 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.

Soaps from the Past

By KATHLEEN UNGER Duz Laundry Soap: Duz was manufactured by the Homer Laughlin Mfg. Co. It was very popular in the 1950s, mainly because each box of soap powder held a dinner plate, saucer, or cup in a pattern called trimmed golden wheat. My mother collected the whole set including the vegetable bowl, gravy boat and butter dish.

Occasionally I see a piece of

www.HomeNewsPA.com that pattern at yard sales.

Lux Facial Soap: Lux was sold as a beauty bar and was developed by Unilever Co., founded by Lever Brothers.

It was first called Sunlight Beauty Soap. In 1899 they developed Sunlight Flakes Laundry Soap. Fels Naptha: This was shaped like a golden bar for pre-treating grease, oil stains and rings around the collar. It was also used as a home remedy for poison ivy and other skin irritants. In 1893 Fels & Company produced the soap for dermatitis, poison ivy and poison oak. Lazarus Fels and his son Abraham developed Fels Naptha in Baltimore in 1866. Lazarus’ other son, Joseph Fels and son Samuel Simeon Fels formed a new firm to manufacture Fels Naptha soap.

The factory closed in 1990.

Rinso Soap Powder: Another popular laundry detergent marketed by Unilever and reated by Robert S. Hudson. It was originally called Hudson’s Soap. Hudson sold the business to Lever Brothers in 1908. It was one of the first massmarketed soap powders and advertised on the radio.

Breeze Laundry Detergent was a soap less detergent released in 1947 by Lever Brothers. In 1956 it included a dishtowel in every box.

For humans, the extra hour when Daylight Saving Time comes to an end is a great way to catch up on sleep. But for dogs, the effects can be very different. Animals don’t set their routines by the clock that we use as humans to keep on schedule. They have their own circadian rhythm–a biological clock that helps them know when to eat, sleep, go potty, and do everything else in their day. So when humans change the clock for the end of Daylight Saving Time, it can affect dogs more strongly.

Potty Time Many dogs need to go outside for a potty break first thing in the morning. When you sleep in for an extra hour, your pup might be confused and sit next to your bed waiting for you to put on your slippers and grab the leash. If you ignore his pleas, he might not be able to hold it in and will have to find a houseplant or rug to do his morning business. Most pooches get used to regular potty times throughout the day, so it will take some time before they can adjust to your new schedule.

Feeding Time If your dog is used to being fed at a certain time, they might be a bit upset when breakfast or dinner is coming an hour late. Don’t be surprised if your pup sits by his empty bowl, looking up at you with his best “feed me” puppy dog eyes.

When food doesn’t come on time, your pup might act out by begging, chewing things he shouldn’t chew, or raiding the garbage cans.

Together Time When you go to work, your dog misses you. You’re his family, his pack. He’ll probably be happy to get an extra hour with you in the morning, but he expects you to come home when the sun is at a certain point in the sky. When you return an hour late, especially when the sun goes down, he can suffer added anxiety. This nervousness can lead to all sorts of unwanted behavior, including having accidents or destroying your belongings.

What You Can Do About It You can help your dog get prepared for the end of Daylight Saving Time in a way that will reduce stress or unwanted behavior. In the weeks leading up to the Daylight Saving Time switch, start adjusting your schedule by a few minutes at a time. Hold off on the morning walk for a couple minutes. Don’t force your pup to hold it for long, just enough to get used to the new time. Feed your dog meals a bit later in the weeks leading up to the time change so he can get accustomed gradually. Spend some time running a short, few-minutes errand or two before you get home from work so your pup can adjust to you arriving when the sun is down. Most of all, pay extra attention to your dog’s needs during this transition. It is important to offer him extra comfort if he shows signs of anxiety.
