Daily Grind in Bath to remain Closed

By CATHERINE STROH After 13 years in business, owners of the Daily Grind in Bath recently announced they have decided to remain closed.

The business closed its doors on November 22.

The following message was posted on the business’s Facebook page last week from owners Jennifer and Allen George: “It has not been easy but the outpouring of love has reinforced just how blessed we have been. Daily Grind will remain closed until further notice.”

The building at 116 E. Main St. in Bath goes back to 1852 when it was built by a doctor, said Jennifer George. It originally opened as a jewelry and clock store, and later became a hardware store in the 1970s.

The Georges opened their doors to the community on July 10, 2010.

Daily Grind was a staple in the borough for coffee, with the “Jamaican Me Crazy” coffee being a crowd favorite. It was also a very popular spot for breakfast and lunch. The most popular breakfast items were Continued on page 2

Looking by Back Ed Pany Fella Studios, Part 3 of 5

The Lenhart building was sold to Betty Fella in 1946; photo courtesy of the Fella family.

In today’s column, Elizabeth Fella, who owned a photo studio on Fourth Street in Bethlehem, comes to Northampton with her four sons to purchase the Lenhart Studio on Main Street. The year is 1946. They wanted to know about Northampton and the area, so let’s join them and walk up Main Street.

Northampton was a vibrant community with a population of approximately 9,500 residents.

The business district attracted customers from Cementon, Egypt, Coplay, Catasauqua and the surrounding area. There were numerous manufacturing facilities.

There were seven area cement

companies providing employment: Universal Atlas, Lawrence, Whitehall, Coplay, Giant, Lehigh Ormrod and Keystone.

The garment industry employed many of our neighbors.

Daily Grind has been an asset to the Bath community and patrons are feeling the loss of their much-loved breakfast and lunch destination in the borough, evidenced by the outpouring of support for the Georges on social media wishing them the best of luck in their future endeavors.

“Closing our doors was one of the hardest decisions we have had to make in our 20 years of marriage. Beginning our business was one of the easiest. We fell in love with the building in an instant. Renovating our family home as weekend warriors was a labor of love. Once our shop opened there were of course many challenges, but the rewards far outweighed them.

Many of those rewards came from the numerous wonderful customers, of whom many became friends,” said Jennifer and Allen George. “Thank you to the Bath community where we raised our children and made a home. Thank you to our amazing employees; without you it would not have been possible to build our business. Thank you to our customers for your patronage and kindness. We are happily looking forward to our next adventure!”

Barry Oneil Bodo

Barry Oneil Bodo (July 3, 1940 – Dec. 28, 2023) departed this world surrounded by his loved ones.

Born in Allentown, Pennsylvania to Stephen Bodo and Florence Miller Bodo of Northampton, a German, Polish and Hungarian community, he was raised in the family home in the village of Weaversville and grew up with his German-Hungarian roots and cultures and a long line of patriotic family members. His father served in the U.S. Navy in World War II, and Barry continued the family’s military service in the U.S. Navy Air starting in his teenage years.

In 1957 at age 16, Barry met the love of his life, Betty Jane Hoffman, 15, while visiting her family’s swimming pond. Both Barry and Betty graduated high school in 1958, and Barry left in July to serve in the U.S. Navy Air. During his training, they became engaged, and they married on May 16, 1959 while on leave.

His home base was Brunswick, Maine, but he was stationed in Iceland where he served overseas in communications on a P2V airplane and traveled to numerous countries, including Denmark, Norway, Spain and Italy.

Honorably discharged, he and Betty resided in Pennsylvania, together renovating the family home that his father bought in the 1940s. Barry was an entrepreneur and had numerous businesses, including a successful arts and crafts shop in the 1970s1980s. They pioneered the arts and crafts niche in the Lehigh Valley region during those years and traveled throughout the region and the east coast attending trade shows. Barry and Betty later embarked again together as a team, where he became manager of the Northampton Community Center, which was originally a cement mill that produced concrete for the Panama Canal. Barry directed all events at the facility, and Betty managed all menus

and catering activities. When the facility was originally given to the town, it became the prominent catering and banquet facility for the Lehigh Valley region, and the Bodos hosted as many as 200 guests in the smaller hall and over 900 in the larger hall. Barry additionally managed banquets for a regional fire hall after retiring from the Northampton Community Center.

Barry and Betty both retired in 2005 and moved to Christiansburg, Virginia, where they were heavily involved in the lives of their grandsons, Nolan and Trevor, remaining supportive and active in their early and teenage years.

Barry enjoyed golfing and hunting. In his young adult life, he and his father spent time on a bowling team and traveled to different cities for competitions.

Barry, Betty and the family spent time in the Poconos snowmobiling and fishing, and he taught his two daughters how to dance the polka when they were just little ones. He was a proud member of the Northampton Rotary Club for nearly two decades and served as president for several years; he was recognized by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International as a Paul Harris Fellow in appreciation of his tangible and significant assistance given to the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations between peoples of the world. He served on the Board for the local YMCA, the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce, where he also served as director, and on the Northampton Memorial Community Center Board of Directors. The Bodos were additionally passionate about international student experiences and education, and the family hosted four international exchange students in the 1980s.

Barry passed away at home surrounded by the love of his family on Thursday, December 28 after a series of illnesses. He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Betty Jane Hoffman Bodo, his daughters, Belinda Bodo Ierardi and Bethany Bodo, PhD, sonin-law, Tom Ierardi, and grandsons, Nolan and Trevor, as well as several cousins and wonderful friends.

Barry loved his country, ser-

vice to the community, his adoring family and friends. In lieu of flowers, friends are welcome to make a gift in his memory to either of his two favorite charities that are both meaningful to him and have assisted extended family through hardship: the Wounded Warrior Project and the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Philadelphia.

Louise "Gigi" (Nardella) Kahler Louise

"Gigi" (Nardella) Kahler, 90, a lifelong resident of Bath, Pa., passed away peacefully on Dec. 29, 2023, in River View Nursing and Rehabilitation in WilkesBarre, Pa. Gigi was born on May 8, 1933, in Bath, Pa., to the late Luigi and Maria Rachel (Tricarco) Nardella.

Her parents migrated from Foggia, Italy and made Bath their lifelong residence for themselves and their family.

Gigi was a 1951 graduate of Nazareth High School. She was active in intramural sports and very proudly held the distinction of being a drum majorette.

She was the loving wife of the late Paul A. Kahler Sr., until his passing in 2010. Cooking for “PAK” was a highlight for both of them.

They also enjoyed dining out, going to sporting events and traveling to local casinos.

Gigi was a lifelong and very dedicated and faithful member of Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, Bath Pa. Yearly, from the age of 18, Gigi donated the fresh flower crown for the May crowning of the Blessed Mother. This annual tradition lasted more than 65 years. Gigi extended her love for cooking to the church as well, she was instrumental in organizing and cooking for numerous 40hour Devotions. It was an honor for her to step into the rectory kitchen and cook daily for Father Charles Marciano - truly a labor of love.

Gigi was a homemaker. A very dedicated wife and mother, she stayed home to raise her children.

When her children were older, she went to work sewing in the garment industry. Most of her career was spent in the Hospitality Industry as a hostess/waitress.

Gigi worked for the former ABE Airport, Howard Johnson, Holiday Inn and Town and Country.

She thrived in this industry due to her fashion, personality and spunk.

Gigi will always be remembered for her classy, stylish ways, always carrying herself well and with great confidence.

Food and family were the core of her life. Gigi was also very patriotic, she held great love and was very proud of her country, the USA, in which she was born and raised.

Gigi will be deeply missed by her loving children; daughter Maria Bauman and husband William, of Bloomsburg, Pa. and son Paul Kahler Jr., and wife Lisa, of West Bloomfield, Mich., six loving granddaughters; Tara Siegel and husband Brock; Erica Bailey and husband Eric; Natalie Lynn

The purchase price was $15,000, a tidy sum in 1946.

They were impressed by the location and the solid three-story structure at 1465 Main St. After careful consideration, they purchased the building.

Looking at the old deeds, they take us back to a faded chapter of local history.

I hope this is interesting to our loyal readers.

One deed is signed by Samuel Laubach, a member of a prominent family in Northampton history. The family roots go back to 1750. They owned large tracts of property, a coal yard, lumber yard and store, and organized Northampton Brewing Company.

At the time, the land was in Allen Township. Northampton Borough was not incorporated until 1909.

A section of the present third ward of Northampton was named Laubachsville.

The Northampton studio could now provide photography service to the Cement Belt.

In two weeks, we will open the Northampton studio. See you there.

Favorite farmers market Coffee vendor opens Brick-and-mortar shop in Nazareth

overwhelming. Almost immediately, customers started wondering when the pair would open a brick-and-mortar shop.

The Solimans, who also sold hand-crafted NuVGN soaps and candles at the market, started planning and transformed the former Nazareth Sign Co. storefront into a warm, inviting and comfortable local cafe where residents can enjoy rich espressos, sweet iced lattes and fresh muffins, turnovers and more, seven days a week. The cafe features indoor seating as well as an outdoor patio.

“Thank you, thank you, thank

you. That’s all I can say,” said Morsy Soliman during the shop’s grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting.

Cynthia Soliman, overwhelmed by the support, thanked their fellow farmers market vendors who not only came out to celebrate the grand opening, but who have also helped provide the cafe with handcrafted goods, foods and other products for sale. NuVGN goods are available, as are fresh pastries from Sweets N Savories Bakery. The cafe also features custom merchandise like tumblers from RJ Creations.

In addition to coffee using beans imported from Latin America, other drinks available on the menu include boba tea, hot chocolate, kombucha and hot tea.

Whether you’re looking for a morning pick-me-up, a midday snack or a weekend cup of coffee with friends, you can find what you’re looking for at Bella Bean.

The coffee shop is open every day of the week from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

It Needs To Be Said

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

When you get to the point where you care more about what you think about yourself rather than what others think of you, life calms down a bit. I was told this long ago, yet perhaps it’s a rite of passage for each of us in turn. Can I get an amen here?

When you have this inner voice that speaks to peace and

contentment, even through the storms that present, life changes dramatically for the better. Yes, the world changes because you change. Life comes from you, not to you-remember that. This isn’t double-speak. It’s merely saying what should have been said long ago.

As a chiropractor, I held my tongue for so very long as I was concerned early on how I thought the medical community would view me. Now I know that none of that really mattered as whatever I would do, say or think, it was, perhaps still is, met with opposition. This doesn’t just play out in my profession; it’s what transpires in all areas. Tell me one area of your life that wouldn’t be when you think about it?

Just last week a physical therapist told me how easy chiropractors have it. I was floored because the lens I look through, I see therapists as having a rosy path.

This individual stated that chiropractors get to have meaningful relationships with their patients.

I guess he meant PT’s do not get that chance. Oh, perspective is everything I imagine.

To clarify, it wouldn’t matter if you are a chiropractor, clergy, officer, farmer, line man, roofer, accountant, etc., there would always be an opposing perspective, put down, or dispute about something along the way. Tell me I’m wrong. You simply cannot. I know this to be true, as I’ve been in meaningful relationships with many thousands over the decades and it’s valid more often than not.

If this is the case, then why in the world did we shake in fright for so long and tremble at what others might say, think or feel about us? It’s kind of funny at this point and embarrassing, I must say. Also, human-is-as-human does and here we are all breathing the same air and living as contem-

poraries, albeit for a brief time.

The next generation can have a go at it all, yet as for me, I am determined to enjoy the rest of the ride and state what should have been said rather than hold back.

Dr. Clearie, have you lost your mind? Well, no, it’s simply that I found my voice. Because I have, throngs of people have improved health, vigor and vitality. That’s not too much of a narcissistic view of self. In fact, it’s been decades of quite the opposite. By and large, many are in the same boat. We self-deprecate for so long and so terribly we forget we have been beautifully and wonderfully made and are simply amazing. Maybe you cannot believe this or feel this way, yet I can and allow me to share, I have never felt more alive because of it.

Now I’ve never been one to have a rain cloud overhead, yet there have been times. Perhaps you feel that way. Yet why would we ever continually allow the pessimism about self to be the day in and day out speak? I am the voice. Not this other internal speaker that’s pretending to be in charge. No sir or madam, that inner dialogue that keeps reminding you of all your faults is simply a factor of who you used to be, not the person that is reading this here today.

Quit thinking about how stressed you are and see how blessed you are. Truly what needs to be said is kind words to yourself. Be the voice.

Now you can live in the same old emotions, the same old memories and the same old patterns as long as you wish. However, as for me and my tribe, we are breaking down base camp and heading to higher ground while the North Star guides us.

Nazareth Borough Council holds Reorganization meeting; honors Borough engineer

By SAVANNAH BROWN The Nazareth Borough Council met on Tuesday, January 2 for their reorganization meeting and regular monthly meeting.

During the reorganization portion of the meeting, Mayor Lance E. Colondo administered the Oath of Office to Councilpersons Carl A. Fischl, Laureen Pellegrino, Michael Kopach, Kayla Green and Daniel Chiavaroli for four-year terms and Jeffrey Corpora for a two-year term.

The resolution also detailed that Kortze “performed the duties of his position with the utmost integrity and trust, and did so in

a manner that made all of us on Council confident that our best interests were being served by a man who we all came to admire and respect,” and thanked him for his many years of exemplary service.
