Bath Borough Council met on Monday, Nov. 10, recognizing local volunteers and emergency personnel, receiving updates from state police and adopting the 2026 borough budget with no tax increase.
Council President Frank Hesch opened the meeting by extending appreciation to the Bath Fire Police for their work during the borough’s Old Home Weekend
celebration. In recognition of their service, he presented a $200 donation to Fire Police member Chandler Biechy.
Hesch also acknowledged the Bath Allen Youth Club for its ongoing support of local recreation, presenting a $400 check to Kyle Sargent. Sargent has volunteered as a softball umpire for the past four years, helping organize the annual tournament in which

For the past decade, Justin Walker has made it his mission to ensure every child in the Lehigh Valley receives a gift on Christmas morning. What started 10 years ago as a small idea to give back has blossomed into a beloved community tradition—the annual Toys for Tots Toy Run— organized entirely by Walker and his family.
Walker, a Moore Township resident who every November and December, fills a FedEx trailer with boxes, toys and the steady hum of holiday spirit as he prepares for another season of collecting gifts for children in need.
“I just love kids, and I wanted to find a way to give back and help them,” he explains.
The toy run kicks off after Halloween and he drops donation boxes at numerous businesses throughout the area. These local businesses proudly host the boxes as residents drop off new, un-
for the donations that he will later pick up.
Every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon, Walker parks his big FedEx trailer at the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company on Mountain View Drive, where donors stop by to fill it with toys. It’s hard to
miss—the trailer is usually surrounded by volunteers, laughter and the warm buzz of holiday excitement.
From there, the real work begins. Toys pour in by the hundreds, and Walker carefully sorts each one by gender and age

According to reports, the pool lost $90,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $60,000 in 2025. Prior to the 2020 pandemic and pool closure, the pool was losing an average of $10,000 to $20,000 per year.

County Council- At-large
Northampton Borough residents, council members and staff are fighting to save the Northampton Municipal Pool from closure. The pool, built in 1949, is one of the few remaining pools open in the Lehigh Valley following the closure of pools in nearby Catasauqua, Cementon and Fullerton. However, in order for the pool to open in 2026, nearly $95,000 in upgrades need to be made.
“There comes a time where the big-ticket items come up,” said Assistant Borough Manager Jerry Serensits during a presentation to council on Nov. 6.
Those big-ticket items include a total remodel of the pool’s filter room, including the installation of a new roof, pump (last installed in 2013), filter (from 1975), and pump control system. Serensits estimated the costs of labor and materials at $94,399.45.
“The borough has tried for a long time to keep up with maintenance,” he told council and residents in attendance. Previous upgrades include a new pavilion in 2020, a new slide in 2023, new diving boards, and, more recently, new paint.
Despite these upgrades, the pool
“It is depressing,” said Councilwoman Julia Kutzler. “That is a big expense for the average taxpayer. But it breaks my heart, because I spent a lot of hours there.”
Councilwoman Kutzler’s sentiments were echoed by many in attendance. For residents and elected officials alike, the pool has become a summer staple and nostalgic reminder of childhood in the borough.
“Back in the 60s, that’s where I learned to swim,” said Councilwoman Bonnie Almond. “Today, I take my grandkids there and they love it just as much as I did.”
“It is one of the nicest pools in the Lehigh Valley,” said former councilman Anthony Lopsonzski Sr. “That swimming pool brings joy to a lot of people. It also brings pride to a lot of people.”
Funding for the pool (originally named the Northampton Memorial Pool) was raised by donations from local businesses and residents follow-
ing World War II, and constructed on land donated by the Atlas Cement Company. The 1950 Northampton Area High School yearbook was even dedicated to the pool.
Resident Ron Newhard read a passage from the yearbook aloud to council.
“This book is dedicated to a dream which at last came true,” the inscription reads. “After 35 years of planning, waiting, and forgetting, World War II finally gave us the needed incentive to make our dream a reality…[It is a] loving memorial for those boys who took our places in the fighting…We the students are proud of this fine memorial and the tribute it pays.”
“I hope you will consider that this is a memorial, and you will treat it like that when you make your decision,” Newhard told council.

GWHS 43rd Christmas House Tour
Submitted by
A before and after of this fieldstone farmhouse
CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN
Glowing candles, the scent of fresh pine boughs, and stepping across historic thresholds are trademarks of the Governor Wolf Historical Society’s Christmas House Tour. This tour is unique in several ways. Only houses from the 1700s, 1800s and early 1900s are included, each year features different private homes from the previous year and each building is lovingly decorated for the holidays by homeowners, florists and garden clubs.
This year celebrates the 43rd
year of the Governor Wolf Historical Society’s Christmas House Tour on Dec. 5 and 6. Nine historic buildings will be open, including five private homes and two museums. Florists, garden clubs and designers will be adding decorations to the homes, and the historical society site will be open for a two-day holiday festival filled with artisans and historic crafters. This year the tour theme is “O Tannenbaum” and the festivities will kick off Friday evening, Dec. 5, with the Candlelight Tour.
This week’s featured house is truly a Cinderella story. The house sat abandoned, in the middle of a cornfield, with its old wooden siding sliding off until the Setzers, Amanda and Shawn Sovorsky had a vision and dreamed of making it a home. This fieldstone farmhouse was built around 1800 and is attached to 134 acres of preserved farmland. The farm was owned by many previous owners including the Beck and Meyers families and inhabited by the Stettler family. In 2019, the property was purchased by
the Setzer brothers and was renovated to what it is today. Amanda has lived here since December 2021 while Shawn moved in May 2025. When renovations began, the brothers discovered fieldstone under plaster and wood lap. The wood lap and plaster was removed and the stones were repointed. The original porch was saved from ruin and the porch was extended to wrap around to both doors. As they moved indoors to renovate the first and second floors, they discovered stone fireplaces under the plaster walls. Two of the three mantles were removed and the stones were repointed. The original floors were reinforced or replaced with boards from the attic, sanded and sealed. Indoor plumbing was installed in the house to accommodate two bathrooms. The electric was updated, and air conditioning and heat registers were installed. Framework was adjusted to add closets to the bedrooms and drywall replaced the lathe and plaster. A detached garage was recently built.
Future plans for the house include renovating the attic with plans to add a room or two. A few of the doors need to be sanded, stained and hung. A larger project is to incorporate the old corn crib foundation into a patio area with a grill. During the tour, the downstairs rooms and up the stairs
to the attic will be open for the public. Keep your eyes open for the decorative barn beams used as the large fireplace mantle and a divide between the kitchen and dining room. The attic architecture is also something to look for. Spot the outhouse that was placed out of service in 2024 and relocated to the corn crib foundation.
For the Christmas House Tour the Setzer home will be decorated by Hayes Flowers in Bath.
Saturday tour ticket booklets go on sale Nov. 15 at Bath Drug on Walnut Street in Bath, S Seem Antiques on Chestnut Street in Bath, Miller Ace Hardware on Route 329 in Northampton, Mycalyn Florals on Main Street in Nazareth and the Snow Goose Gallery on Main Street in Bethlehem. Advance tickets are $30, and tickets purchased the day of the tour are $35. The tour booklet also includes free admission to the two-day holiday craft festival at the Governor Wolf Historical Society’s site. The Friday Candlelight Tour is a private showing of the homes starting at 5:30 p.m. for the homeowners, volunteers, decorators and patrons. Patron cost is $50 for members and $60 for non-members. To be a patron, or a volunteer, or for more information, call Carol at 610390-0555.

The Giant Company recently announced it will donate nearly 20,000 turkeys and turkey breasts to 35 food banks and community partners in the Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia communities it serves this November. The donation will provide nearly 200,000 individual servings of protein ahead of Thanksgiving.
“The Giant Company’s commitment to serving others and giving back to our neighbors happens year-round, but is especially important during the holidays,” said John Ruane, president, The Giant Company. “Everyone deserves a full plate, and this year’s donations will

Over the next several weeks, The Giant Company team members will volunteer at the local food banks packing hunger relief boxes and helping to organize and restock pantry shelves.

More neighbors are turning to the charitable food system for help than at any other point since the pandemic," said Jay Worrall, president, Helping Harvest Fresh Food Bank. "While we always appreciate the generosity
of our retail partners like The Giant Company, this turkey donation carries extra weight this year due to the challenges being faced by so many of our neighbors."

Keystone Cement captured this year’s championship. The donation will cover equipment and field items, with free sign-ups for players under age eight.
The Bath Volunteer Fire Department announced plans for its annual Santa Run, scheduled for Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to noon.
In other news, Lieutenant Jason Troutman of the Pennsylvania State Police provided a detailed public safety report summarizing police activity in Bath for 2025 through Sept. 30. The borough recorded 796 calls for service, an increase from 728 during the same period last year. Traffic enforcement data showed 60 crashes, six resulting in injury and four involving driving under the influence. Police issued 61 citations and 18 warnings, compared to 79 citations and 31 warnings in 2024.
Troutman reported 59 criminal investigations and 20 criminal arrests this year, including four drug-related cases. Crimes against persons totaled 22, crimes against property 23 and crimes against society 12. Those figures were slightly down from 2024, when the borough recorded 61 investigations and 37 arrests.
Troutman also discussed an armed robbery that occurred on Nov. 8 at 12:20 a.m. at the Penn Jersey gas station at 349 S. Walnut St. Two men wearing gloves and brandishing firearms—one dressed in a black jacket and the other in a red hoodie—stole cash and cigarettes before fleeing north on Walnut Street by foot. The incident, reported to state police several hours later, remains under active investigation. Resi-
dents with information are encouraged to contact state police and reference incident number PA 2025-1378039.
In addition to routine enforcement, the Bethlehem barracks participated in a joint law enforcement operation targeting high-crime commercial corridors in the region, including Bath Borough and the Airport Road and Catasauqua Road areas. The cooperative effort between state police, the City of Bethlehem Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Target Loss Prevention teams led to three unannounced saturation patrols focused on drugs, thefts and assaults. The operations resulted in 15 drug arrests involving narcotics ranging from cocaine to fentanyl, 15 apprehensions of wanted individuals, four firearms seizures, three retail theft arrests, three DUI arrests and more than 80 traffic citations.
Residents were reminded that PSP Troop M is located at 2930 Airport Road in Bethlehem and to call 911 in emergencies or 610-861-2026 for non-emergencies. Suspicious activity can also be reported anonymously at 888292-1919.
Mayor Fiorella Reginelli Mirabito recognized several residents who received countywide honors from Northampton County for their service to the community. Outstanding volunteer went to Maryann Milisits, outstanding veteran to Paul Haldaman, outstanding youth to junior councilmember Lilah Goldfarb and outstanding emergency personnel to Chandler Biechy.
The mayor also shared details of upcoming holiday events. The annual tree lighting will take place Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. at Ciff Cowling Park, with horse
and carriage rides running from 5 to 8 p.m. Attendees can enjoy roasted chestnuts, and attorney Dan Spengler of Spengler Brown Law Offices will have the honor of lighting the tree. Because power has been disconnected at the clock plaza due to construction, decorations will instead focus on the Ciff Cowling tree, which will be illuminated rain or shine. Residents are encouraged to bring their outdoor fire pits, and those that do will receive a free fire extinguisher from the fire chief. The mayor will also collect nonperishable food items at the event for the Northampton Area School District’s student food pantry. A gingerbread decorating event for children up to age 12 will follow later in the season on Friday, Dec. 18 from 6 to 7 p.m. by registration only.
In administrative updates, the Bath Borough Water Authority plans to raise water rates by 8% in 2026.
Council also heard from Brian Radcliffe of the Bath American Legion, who discussed the Hometown Heroes banner initia-
tive. Banners honoring local veterans can be purchased for $180 through forms available at the Legion or borough office. The goal is to have as many banners as possible displayed along the borough’s main streets by July 4 for the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. Banners will be hung on the sidewalk side of utility poles, though council will consider requests to place them elsewhere, such as in front of individual homes.
Council proceeded to vote unanimously on a series of motions and financial authorizations. Members adopted the new Borough Councilmember Handbook, reappointed Michael Reph to a five-year term on the Bath Borough Water Authority Board of Directors and authorized the advertisement of the 2026 schedule of meetings for council, boards and commissions. Two fund transfers were also approved: $300,000 from the borough’s tax account to the general fund to pay operational expenses and $535,000 from the tax account to the capital improve-
ment fund for ongoing projects and equipment costs.
The evening concluded with the unanimous adoption of Resolution 2025-010, the borough’s 2026 budget. The budget includes no increase in property taxes, keeping the total millage rate at 17.45 mills—15.70 mills for general purposes, 1.25 mills for debt service and 0.50 mills for fire protection. However, residents will see a 6% increase in their sanitation bill to cover higher waste disposal costs.
The 2026 general fund had numerous budget decreases from 2025 in areas such as the borough manager (decreased by $25,451.09), auditing/financial admin (-$4,524.58), tax collection (-$1,857.57), legal services (-$30,950), secretary (-$17,078.78), municipal building and property (-$36,048), public safety (-$3,500), fire company (-$3,104.81), emergency management (-$2,100), public

The next Bath Borough Council meeting will be held Monday, Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. in Borough Hall, located at 121 S. Walnut St.
“They have to sort everything, so I decided I would help them out by sorting the donations myself,” he explains. “There are thousands of toys coming in that would’ve taken hours to sort, so I make it easier by organizing and keeping track of the toys as they come in.”
Then, Walker delivers the toys to the Marine Corps Reserve Center in the middle of December, for them to send to families and charities across the region. Marines deliver the toys through Christmas Eve, ensuring that children in every corner of the community experience the joy of the season.
Over the years, Walker’s toy run has become a full-fledged
group—something he started doing to help the Marines who oversee distribution.

Over 1,800 cans collected During annual Mayor’s Mission
By CATHERINE STROH
Each October, Bath Mayor Fiorella R. Mirabito is on a mission – a mission to collect cans of soup to benefit the Bath Area Food Bank.
The initiative runs for the entire month of October, a simple yet powerful way to bring the community together and provide families in need with warm meals
as winter approaches.
This year marked the third Mayor’s Mission, with each year surpassing the collection goal.
This year’s goal was 1,500 cans, and 1,811 cans were collected.
The borough had some very large donations that helped contribute, including 300 cans from the Bath Republican Association, 340 cans from Keystone Ce-
ment Co. and 253 cans from the American Legion Post 470.
“I am deeply moved by the generosity shown by our residents, local businesses and community organizations. Your support demonstrates the heart of our community and ensures that no one is left behind,” said Mayor Mirabito.
A goal of 2,000 cans has been set for next year.
The borough will continue its outreach efforts during the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. at Ciff Cowling Park, where totes will be set up for non-perishable food donations for the Northampton Area School District Food Pantry.
Donations like peanut butter and jelly, cereal or granola bars, pasta and pasta sauce, snack-size fruit cups, and other nutritious staples will help brighten the season for local families in need.

Debbie Alpha, whose father George Berg was mayor of Northampton during the pool’s grand opening, says she still swims at the pool every day.
“That's my outlet. That's my happy place,” she said. “There are kids and families and parents that depend on that public pool.”
“It’s a very tough situation,” said Councilman Ronald Glassic. Between street, sewer and water upgrades, it’s “coming to fruition that we have to pay the piper.” However, the pool remains important.
“It’s not just for today. It’s not just for tomorrow. It’s for our future of kids.”
He encouraged council and residents to consider fundraising efforts at local events, or perhaps business sponsorships.
“There are a lot of hard decisions once you sit up here,” added Councilwoman Judith Haldeman. “$100,000 is a lot to swallow in a town that is looking at increased prices in everything, but I think we’re gonna do our hardest to try and find what we can.”
“Whatever it takes, we will try to get that pool up and running,” said Councilman Ronald Knopf.
Borough Manager Brian Welsko said the 2026 borough budget needs to be finalized in the next four weeks, and asked council to come to a decision on the pool’s future soon.
“The pool has been a centerpiece of so many lives here,” concluded Mayor Tony Pristash. “Know that this council is going to do everything

Perspectives For the healthMinded individual Life Can't Wait
BY DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
I was holding my grandson of some 15 months recently. While doing so, my wife and I were singing songs to him. How we broke into our version of “Sing a Song,” first written way back in the 1970s by The Carpenters, I’ll never know, yet there we were.
What really hit home was that powerful line, “Don’t worry if it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song.” I’ll tell you at that moment, it felt as though all I ever wanted from life was literally in my hands and heart. There was our grandson, at the very beginning of life, wideeyed and full of wonder. His journey lay ahead.
I know my grandson will have much love and joy in his life. I also know he will face some hardships on this side of heaven. I know this the same way you do and that's because we have lived through decades of life that has borne this truth repeatedly. Trying to sidestep or wish it away doesn’t typically work out so well sometimes.
Like you and I, my grandson will also need to bear the weight of trials, persevere and overcome as best able.
The passage of time and experience reveals that through all the trouble, the angst, the unforeseen loss and the overwhelming stress, life is meant to be lived. Clearly, that is easier said than done, however, it is an absolute foundational truth nonetheless.
I could, we all could, perhaps share testimonials and stories of people who faced terrible situations and sufferings and yet, somehow, they appear more fully alive, more grateful and filled with such grace. I've met many who fall into this category. I stand in awe.
Truly, my grandson will come to see that many, if not most lessons in life, are learned by living through each challenging situation. Perhaps in part, this
is where discernment and wisdom are forged. Textbooks, podcasts and documentaries pale in comparison to the wrestling with life that often leaves us battered and bruised, yet a different version of self emerges from it.
Come what may, I will stand beside and with my grandson, rooting him on, until my last breath, all the while knowing that it is on my knees in prayer on his behalf that holds the source of all joy, peace and strength.
Clearly, life can't wait. It simply won't. The seconds turn to minutes, hours, days and decades and before you know it, you have grey hair and a grandson. So come what may, I sing. I sing a song of thankfulness and praise in my spirit for God is so so good. And yes, it is good enough for everyone else to hear.

vorite places.

something special that he would continue to do year after year. The operation peaked in 2019, when he collected more than 2,900 toys—an incredible milestone that reflected the community’s growing enthusiasm and
generosity. Over the past nine years, Walker has collected more than 14,200 toys and $3,000 in donations.
Though he has yet to reach his personal goal of filling the entire trailer, Walker remains optimistic. This year, he’s already received around 400 toys, with a strong first day on Nov. 1, bringing in 235 items alone. His hope is to surpass past totals and continue

growing the event’s reach.
Walker has faced his fair share of challenges along the way. This year, he almost didn’t get the collection boxes in time due to a government shutdown that affected Marine operations. Boxes finally arrived on Oct. 30—just one day before he was supposed to begin collecting donations. Despite the setback, Walker took it in stride.
Every year brings heartwarming stories that remind Walker why he started. One memory that still stands out happened when a woman arrived to collect toys for a shelter in Allentown and brought two children with her. One of the girls told him she didn’t have a Christmas the previous year after being orphaned, while the boy shared that he had experienced a rough upbringing.
“You never get to see who you’re helping, and the looks on their faces said everything,” Walker recalls. “They realized there are people out there who care about them.”
Another moment he’ll never forget came when a Salvation Army driver arrived to pick up eight pallets of toys. The driver told him that the organization had run out of toys that year, and that the ones Walker provided were the only reason they’d be
able to get through the holiday season. That year, Walker was able to help not one, but two charities.
For Walker, the most rewarding part isn’t the numbers—it’s the sense of unity the toy run brings to the community. “It brings everyone together, and you meet so many different people,” he says. “This is my favorite thing to do every year to give back because I’m a lucky guy.”
The process can be overwhelming at times—Walker admits that keeping track of all the donations and coordinating pickups is the hardest part, especially since he handles most of the logistics himself. Some businesses’ boxes fill up faster than others, requiring frequent pickups.
But the effort, he says, is worth it. “You just can’t beat the feeling of knowing you’re making a difference.”
As the toy run marks its 10th anniversary, Walker is already thinking about the future. He hopes to continue expanding outreach and eventually fill his trailer to the brim. With more exposure and community involvement each year, that dream seems well within reach.
For now, the focus remains on this year’s drive. Donations of new, unwrapped toys can be

Walker encourages donors to think about certain age groups that often get overlooked, such as children aged 0–2, 6-9 and those over 10. For infants, items like rattles, soft books and pacifiers are always appreciated. For kids 6–9, popular options include Barbies, sports gear, monster trucks, toy cars, Legos, arts and crafts kits/ supplies, lip gloss, bikes, scooters, roller skates, sleds/saucers, backpacks and board games. Options for older children include sports gear, bikes, scooters, skateboards, sleds/saucers, headphones, RC cars, model kits, tech accessories, arts and crafts kits/supplies, camping/fishing gear, science experiment kits and backpacks. If you’re unsure what to get, many of these items list the recommended age range right on the packaging.
Walker often suggests shopping at stores like Five Below for inexpensive but meaningful gifts. Monetary donations are also welcomed and help fill gaps for underrepresented age groups. After the donations are delivered, Walker’s trailer may be empty, but his heart and the hearts of countless children are full.
“It’s been 10 years,” Walker shares. “And I still can’t believe how far it’s come.”
Follow the journey of Walker’s toy run on his Facebook page: Unofficial: Toys for Tots (Moore Twp) and let’s help Walker surpass his 2019 donation record this year.
As the toys pile high in the trailer and another holiday season draws near, Walker says it’s never about the numbers—it’s about the smiles.
“If we can make even one kid’s Christmas a little brighter, that’s what makes it all worth it,” he says.

The governor last Thursday signed into law legislation authored by Rep. Zach Mako (RLehigh/Northampton) to update the vehicle code to allow motorcyclists to wear headphones or helmets with built-in headphone capabilities.

the times,” Mako said. “With the widespread usage of wireless headsets, earbuds and earphones, and Bluetooth communication built into helmets, we should not criminalize those who use the most up-to-date products that are widely accepted by the motorcycling community. Additionally, I believe this creates a safety benefit. Rather than glancing down at navigation displays, motorcyclists can receive directions audibly through their earpieces.”

Pecan Pie Bars
Ingredients
For the Crust
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
12 tablespoon unsalted butter, cold, diced
For the Filling
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup honey
12 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans, 14 ounces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil or parchment paper leave some paper hanging over the sides of the pan for an easier lift later. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
To make the dough, in the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, powdered sugar and salt and pulse a couple of times to combine. Add diced cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal with some pea-sized pieces forming. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan, pressing the crust evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake at 350 for 18-20 minutes or until the crust has set and the edges are just lightly browned. Remove from the oven and set aside while you finish the filling.
To make the filling for the bars, in a large saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, butter, cream and salt. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pecans, mixing until incorporated.
Pour hot pecan filling over your warm crust. Return to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the top is bubbling and turns caramel color. Set the baking pan on a wire rack and cool completely to room temperature before cutting.
Once the pecan squares are at room temperature, loosen the edges if needed and use the parchment paper or foil to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2-inch squares. Serve at room temperature.
