From the Publisher’s Desk

Joe Korba

When this edition goes to press, I will be enjoying the warm weather and having some delicious food and drinks at Epcot’s International Food & Wine Fest in Orlando.

It’s long been a favorite vacation spot for my wife and I, so it’s only fitting that we spend our honeymoon there.

Fortunately, we have an incredibly capable and generally awesome team in Walnutport who put this issue together. Everyone in the office has been doing a great job taking care of business in recent weeks when I’ve had to leave for wedding-related things. It’s nice to work with people who share a passion for the job. It leaves me free to drink at La Cava de Tequila on vacation without worrying whether our Halloween edition gets to print or not.

I want to thank Alice Wanamaker, Catherine Stroh, Danielle Tepper, Donna Bachman, Tony Pisco, and all of my other Town & Country Gazette partners-in-crime for giving me peace of mind and picking up some slack while I was preoccupied with my wedding and away on my honeymoon. You guys are the best.

On The Cover MYTH vs. FACT: BLACK CATS We reached out to Inga Fricke, Director of Shelter and Rescue Group Services at the Humane Society of the U.S. to address some of the rumors that swirl around these purrfectly “frightening” felines.

Can you address the speculation that black cats are in danger of becoming targets for violent superstition-based crimes around Halloween and that therefore, some shelters do not allow them to be adopted in October?

Fricke: “This is an urban legend. We and other national organizations have been working very hard to try to reach every single shelter and rescue out there that still is holding onto this myth, to let them know that not only is it completely unfounded, but they’re actually doing these animals a disservice by not taking advantage of the opportunity to market them at Halloween time as great additions to the family. The vast majority of shelters and rescues require identification to adopt; it really wouldn’t make sense for someone to go through the trouble of the adoption process and then deliberately, intentionally harm that animal. It’s based on wonderful intentions, to preserve the well-being of that animal, but the fact is, it’s just unnecessary overprotection.”

MYTH: DEBUNKED!

Meet the Staff Halloween is horror season; from haunted hay rides to scary movies, ‘tis the season to get the pants spooked off you. What are you afraid of?

Joe Korba, Associate Publisher: It’s incomprehensible to almost everyone, but I’m scared of roller coasters. Not height, mind you, but coasters. I don’t know why.

Danielle Tepper, Editor: Bees; the very moment I hear buzzing in my ear, I’m prone to bouts of epilepsy. Deep, dark water where I can’t see what might be swimming nearby (I blame JAWS for that). I also don’t know if it’s a fear of blood or pain that makes me queasy while watching gory movies, but the climactic scene in “127 Hours” sent me to the hospital. In an ambulance. (I fainted.) Yep. Alice Wanamaker, Publishing Assistant: Halloween masks (while being worn) really creep me out. I know they are not real, but an irrational fear always takes over me the moment I see someone with one on.

Tony Pisco, Art Director: I’m scared of deep water, so I just make sure to spend my Halloween on dry land.

Catherine Stroh, Staff Writer: The more appropriate question would be, what am I not afraid of? The biggies on the top of my list are spiders, horror movies and everything they entail, and huge waves (getting trapped in them, drowning) at the ocean.

Donna Bachman, Accounting Manager: I am afraid of spiders. It does not have to be Halloween for this fear; spiders creep me out all year long.

“It just so happens that Halloween is based on the ancient feast called All Hallow’s Eve. It’s the one night of the year where the spirits of the dead can return to Earth.” Allison from Hocus Pocus said it best. October 31 is arguably the most fun holiday, if you put dressing up in outrageous outfits and scaring the pants off of little kids ahead of sleigh bells and presents.

(It’s OK, we do too.) Wondering what our favorite spooky pasttimes are? How about what your town’s trick-or-treat time is? Some make-up tips for an awesome zombie face? All those and more can be found on the following pages. Enjoy … or die.

Haunted

Houses

—Every October, my friends and I go to Knoebel’s Grove in Elysburg, then hit a local haunted house afterwards. Knoebel’s is decked out in Halloween decorations and all of their rides have a spooky theme.

It’s one of my favorite fall traditions.

Haunted Corn Mazes

—Even though haunted things scare me, I still look forward to corn mazes; I always loved going through them. I went a couple times in Girl Scouts, so I will always have fond memories of corn mazes, haunted or not.—CS

Hocus Pocus

Did You Know?

Orange and black are Halloween colors because orange is associated with the Fall harvest and black is associated with darkness and death.

—I would argue that this early ‘90s gem is the most popular cult classic of all time. Seriously, ask any millenial. Hearing the title alone gives me giddy goosebumps. It never gets old; I will watch it year-round, countless times in October, and, as proven last weekend when I popped it in during a bout of fall cleaning, I can quote nearly every scene verbatim. “Dost thou comprehend?” Hocus Pocus rules Halloween.—DT

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Horror Movie Marathons

—I’m a horror movie fanatic; I love catching the Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street movies during October marathons like AMC’s Fear Fest.—JK

I grew up on this movie and it will forever be a classic and staple for the Halloween/Christmas season. Everything about this movie is awesome and I think it will continue to transcend generations. My favorite scene is when Jack is in the forest with each holiday-themed tree.—CS

Decorated Houses

— While I get unreasonably creeped out by people in masks, I truly enjoy seeing houses decorated for Halloween. The more over-the-top a house is, the better, as far as I am concerned. And when a homeowner takes the time to hide a radio and add some fog, I can’t resist stopping back for more!

Parties

—I always threw big bashes in college. My friends and I lived in a creepy old mansion-turned-apartment building in Bloomsburg that was perfect for Halloween parties. When the Halloween season rolls around, I’m still somewhat nostalgic for the fog machine and witches’ cauldron filled with cheap liquor.—JK

Haunted

Hayrides—Even

when they’re operated by a bunch of Cub Scouts and the decorations look like they were picked up at a dollar store, hayrides feel like such good ol’ fashioned fun. However, when they’re done well, they can be downright terrifying. It seems that whenever there’s a chainsaw involved, humans dissolve into useless puddles, unable to open their eyes or do anything but squeal like sixth grade girls at a One Direction concert. No, I’m not just talking about myself.—DT

Pumpkin Picking

I’m not a country girl, but even I have to smile when I see an open field spotted with huge orange gourds. It’s just so perfectly autumn. In preschool, I fell elbowfirst into a rotting pumpkin, which may explain why removing the guts while carving jack-o-lanterns still makes me squeamish, but picking them tops my October to-do list.

Was hot der alt Kaerl dart am annere Disch net geblaudert vun selle Veggel? Er hot als gsaagt iwwer un iwwer, „Wann selli Veggel so arrig fliege, dann gebt’s ebbes im Wedder.

Waart yuscht, des gebt noch ebbes die Nacht. Es hot ihn recht gebaddert.

-Florence Baver November 9, 1961 We sat in a restaurant in Krumsville last Saturday. There were also many other people eating in there. Straight across from us sat a PA Dutch family. They chatted in Dutch the entire time while they were eating. We looked out the window and saw a large flock of blackbirds fly through the air. What didn’t the old guy at the other table say about those birds? He repeated over and over, “When those birds fly like that, then there will be something [changing] in the weather. Just wait, something will happen this night.” He was really bothered by this.

The night came and went and it is now Sunday morning and I am sitting by my typewriter [writing machine] to tell you this story. I slept through the entire night and did not know too much of what was going on in the outside world overnight, but this I can now see when I look out, that something will surely happen very soon. There is such a heavy overcast that we can not see over to Morgan Hill behind Easton. [Florence lived on South Side Easton at this time, very close to Morgan Hill.]

Hunks and Hounds

The Huffington Post had a headline circulating October 8 that read, “Hunky Men Pose With Cute Pups For Animal Rights, And Thankfully Do It Shirtless.” Needless to say, these guys got around—the link spread like wildfire.

The adorable (and adoptable!) pups and their abalicious bros grace the glossy pages of a 2015 calendar, the proceeds for which go to Louie’s Legacy, an Ohio and N.Y.-based animal rescue. Celebrity photographer Mike Ruiz took the photos and was quoted saying, “I just hope that people enjoy the images, and that they are reminded daily that adopting and loving an animal is the most humane thing a person can do. I hope we sell a million so that Louie’s Legacy can broaden their services to be able to help more dogs find forever homes.” Buy 12 months of Hunks and Hounds at www.louieslegacy.org/calendar.

t’s hard not to notice pink ribbons lining the streets of the borough of Bath recently. In conjunction with breast cancer awareness month, Turn Bath Pink is officially underway. The massive volunteer-driven fundraiser is being spearheaded by a woman with her own breast cancer story—and big ties to Bath.

Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito (or ‘Fi,’ as she’s affectionately known by just about everyone) didn’t set out to get into politics. In fact, call her a politician to her face and a little bit of her Italian fire comes out— Fi was born in Teramo, Italy. She moved to America with her parents in 1968 and has lived in Bath ever since.

“I entered first grade at George Wolf School that year. I didn’t speak a word of English, but they embraced me and by second grade, I was fluent,” she explained. “You know, when you’re a child, you absorb like a sponge and there was also my willingness to want to learn and want to become a part of America.”

She also happened to live next door to then Mayor Archie Leigh: “I was in awe of all the things he showed me, all the places he went to, all the people he met, and I said to him, ‘Archie, one day I want to be the Mayor of Bath,’ and he said, ‘I would be so very proud if you did that.’ I was just the little girl with the bike, seven or eight years old, but as I got older, the more I thought, wow, that’s really cool.”

Fi considered attending NCC for their travel and tourism program upon her high school graduation, but she opted for some on-the-job training with her relatives at Mary Fashion Travel instead. She was a travel agent for 17 years, then became a medical assistant for almost 10 years.

Towards the end of 2010, she received some unfortunate medical news: she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

At that point in time, their business of now 26 years

(My Place Pizza Restaurant, run by her husband, Emanuel “Manny”) was doing well. “My husband said, you know what, let’s just worry about Fi right now,” she said. “I owe a lot to my husband. He was my guiding force, my pillar of strength. I don’t know where I would have been through all that without him. One thing you need to know about me, my family comes first in all things. They’re the life and air I breathe.”

Fi came through her diagnosis with her health and positivity intact. Not long after, the mayoral opportunity arose. “Everyone was like, ‘Fi, you’re already the mayor, you just don’t have the title,’” she laughed. So she decided to go for the title.

Fi took her oath of office in January of 2014. “My parents are very proud that I came here from Italy, a little girl, not a citizen, and made it this far. I became a U.S. citizen June 2, 1998. And I cried. I did. Because people here in America don’t know what they have.

This is the greatest nation on earth. I hate to see flags burning, because this place gave me my life.”

She continued, “If I was still in Italy, I don’t know where we’d be. My parents had nothing. I just came back from Italy a few weeks ago. My heart is in Italy, because my family is still there. My parents are retired now. They just built a new home over there, so they live in Italy for six months and they live with me for six months. I’m the only child. My father says he came here to make a better life for his daughter, and he did.

I owe a lot of it to Bath; this is where my parents made

Teramo, Italy their money, this is where I grew up, this is where I became involved with Girl Scouts and the choir. And when you go through something like breast cancer, everything changes, especially what you’re thankful for. I’m thankful for this. I’m thankful for my business, that I’ve raised two sons here. I am eternally forever grateful for this place.”

That gratitude is what fuels her fire to give back to the community that has given her so much, starting with her first big project as mayor, Turn Bath Pink.

Planning stages began in February of 2014.

“It’s not just for breast cancer,” said Fi. “All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society for research of all cancers. I’m doing Turn Bath Pink because of my own issue, but I’m not stopping at breast cancer. We’re asking everybody to take part and they can wear all different colors for different cancers, not just pink.”

The events kicked off on Bath Community Day, Oct. 4, with the Pink Heals fire truck, a blood drive, and a pet parade. Saturday, Oct. 11 was the 5K Run/Walk. This

coming Saturday, Oct. 18 will be an aerial photograph of a human cancer ribbon. The month-long activities draw to a close Oct. 25 and 26 with a Pink Auction.

Visit www.turnbathpink.com for more information.

“It’s a lot,” Fi admitted. “It’s a big undertaking, but again, I have a lot of positive support and response from the community. If you don’t delegate, you don’t get things done. You can’t do it all yourself.”

The events are 100% funded by donations. “I have expended zero borough funds for this. I promised borough council that I would not spend any money. And it’s going well, really well,” Fi said. “My goal is high; I have very high hopes, but there’s a lot of dedicated people in this town. We have problems like everyone else; we’re not free of any issues. This town gets a lot of negative publicity and I don’t like it. There are a lot of great things here, but if there’s a problem in Bath, it makes the front page. I’m tired of negative. I want positive things for Bath.”

Fi has other plans for the future of Bath while she holds the mayoral title, but she squashes any idea that she has bigger political aspirations: “I’m just not interested, because I’m the type of person where I just shoot from the hip; if I don’t like something, I say it, so I can’t play the political game,” she laughed. “I’m looking no further; I like where I am. I don’t want to get involved in anything bigger; I care about little Bath.”

Mayor Fiorella Reginelli-Mirabito would like to personally thank the following chairpersons for their hard work and dedication to Turn Bath Pink: • Medical Events: Ms. Jamie Keenhold • Pink Pet Parade: Ms. Mary Kositz • Turn Bath Pink 5K Run/Walk: Dana Flynn-Vlasics • Aerial Photo of Human Ribbon: Ms. Michele Ehrgott • Photographer: Ms. Lori Stack • Pilot: Cpt.

Touch of Dutch Continued from Page 30 Yes, I believe the old guy knew something that might be true.

The old people depended on such thing to predict the weather.

We have a walnut tree in our yard in back. It had been loaded with walnuts this year. They are all now on the ground. But we are sure that there are also as many in the ground as lie on top of it.

The squirrels have already worked wonderfully hard to hide them for the winter. It is a pleasure to see them go with one in the mouth, scratch a little with the feet; shove the walnut in the hole, and again to cover the whole thing. It is wonderful what abilities God gives these wild creatures.

We wonder if such a fellow like Khrushchev would sit himself down and watch the wild life, like the birds and the squirrels. If he did, I don’t believe, his thoughts would be so hard in the air [sound so harsh].

[Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971). He served as First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, and as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, or Premier, from 1958 to 1964. In October of 1964 he was pressured to

resign and for a deposed communist leader not only lived to talk about that, but even wrote his memoirs in 1970 and had them smuggled to the West. He was also well known for his tirade at the United Nations in October of 1960, where he pounded one of his shoes on the table, protesting someone else’s speech. In the year prior to that incident, he had also debated the merits of communism versus capitalism with then Vice President Richard Nixon. Perhaps one of those incidents is what Florence was alluding to here.]

Local Author Visits Northampton Area Public Library

Submitted by MARY FRIES Author Patricia Ritz sets out to illustrate the power of God and the true message of the Gospel through her own experiences in her new book published by WestBow Press, Do You Really Think I Want To Annoy You? The first half of Ritz’s book focuses on her life in an effort to better connect with readers. Ritz details her journey as she became a born-again Christian at the age of 17 and searched for a church that would embrace her enthusiasm for Jesus Christ.

She further illustrates how Jesus came to her aid throughout her life when she needed him most.

Ritz devotes the second half of her book to her beliefs on the current state of biblical teachings in churches today. She calls for a return to a more literal teaching of the Gospel and discusses certain social topics such as homosexuality and abortion in relation to the Bible.

With Do You Really Think I Want To Annoy You?, Ritz aims to plant seeds of spirituality in her readers to help them grow stronger in their faith.

She hopes to pass on her enthusiasm for God to her readers.

Ritz writes, “I wanted people to see the reality of

ZOMBIE Make-Up Tips—From a Pro!

By Alice Wanamaker • Photos by CandyBPhotography Who hasn’t gone out trick-or-treating or to a party on Halloween with a sheet over their head just to avoid having anyone see their botched make-up? Avoid the catastrophe this year and heed these five tips from professional special effects makeup artist Tanya Grace Fetherolf that will help you create the perfect zombie makeup this Halloween.

1. Time: Whether you are doing your own make-up or heading to a professional for some prosthetics and fleshy gore, make sure you allot enough time to focus on details and correct any mistakes that may pop up.

2. Have A Muse: Having a general idea of what you want the end result to be is good. Having a photo of what you’re looking for is even better.

3. Shading: While the colors you use to create any type of face will ultimately affect the outcome, the way you use those colors is key. “The ultimate goal for Halloween is to be scary,” Tanya says. She recommends starting from the inside of a design idea with darker shades and working your way out to the lighter colors. It helps to create the illusion that your wounds and scars are actually “bone deep.”

4. Many Shades Of Blood: The most important ingredient to any good zombie is the blood and there really isn’t any bad variety according to Tanya Grace: “You can make your own from corn syrup and red food coloring or use store bought blood which is great.” She suggests mixing in a little green food coloring to give depth to the wounds. She also suggests mixing the types and shades of blood to get a more realistic result. Blood can be blotted on or applied with a squirt bottle.

5. Clean-Up: Clean-up and removal of Halloween make-up isn’t meant to make you scream. Generally, even the creepiest Halloween make-up comes off with soap and warm water. Latex is water-soluble and can be pealed or washed off. Other makeup like blood and wounds can be removed with baby wipes or make-up remover.

Tanya Grace Fetherolf is a professional special effects make-up artist in the Lehigh Valley. She specializes in Halloween makeup every October and helps create the spooktacular creatures at Dorney Park. Tanya also provides services for brides and their bridal parties including hair and make-up. She loves working with children of all ages and is available for special face-painting events.

Slatington Rotary—Lehigh Valley Youth Leadership and Ethics Conference Presentation Valley Youth Leadership & Ethics Conference held at DeSales University Oct. 14 and 15. The first day was for eighth grade students and the second day for high school juniors. The purpose of the conferences, which is sponsored by Rotary, was to motivate both students and faculty to pursue the development of competence and character within their own schools and throughout their lives as they aspire to be citizens of competence and character in society. In the first century BC, Cicero stated that, “Within the character of its citizen lies the welfare of the state.”

Guignet’s Celebrates 50 Years In Business

Submitted by SHARON HUMMEL Congratulations Pat and Ray, you did it! What an accomplishment. I honestly believe you both deserve a gold medal. Just imagine husband and wife going to work together, at the same place, put a full day in, and then go home together only to wake up the next morning to do the same routine for 50 years … wow, that’s golden.

Pat and Ray are the third generation in the floral and horticultural fields. Pat’s grandfather and parents were greenhouse growers. As a matter of fact, the name “Guignet” means “grower of greenery.” How true, they are certainly growers and it shows in all their love for one another. Pat and Ray would like to retire, but until this happens, they are open for business as usual.

Currently, they are stocked for fall decorating, but before you know it, they will be getting ready for the Christmas season, featuring fresh wreaths, garlands, cemetery logs, and grave blankets. There will also be a fine selection of poinsettias. So stop in and congratulate Pat and Ray on their 50th anniversary and help them celebrate.

Lehigh Gap Nature Center History Hike

Submitted by SUE ARNOLD St. John Neumann Regional School’s (SJNRS) seventh and eight grades had their history lessons outdoors Sept. 10 at the Lehigh Gap Nature Center. The Nature Center is located between the towns of Slatington and Palmerton and the school has benefited many times from hikes and camps that Executive Director Dan Kunkle has led.

SJNRS learned history of the Zinc Co., formerly located in Palmerton, and its founders. Along their hiking adventure, they also learned about railroad and canal history, as well as sighting a bald eagle soaring above. The children of SJNRS have had previous hikes with Mr. Kunkle in prior years and have helped with the restoration efforts of the

Gap. What an awesome way to learn outside the classroom about our local history, environmental protection, wildlife habitats, and geology.

There’s “No Sanctuary” On The Walking Dead

As I write this, I’m still reeling from the bloodbath that was last night’s season 5 premiere of The Walking Dead, aptly titled “No Sanctuary.” I think I broke the replay button on my TiVo remote. Instead of wildly gushing about the whole thing (tempting), I’ll just break it down into the five moments that had me bouncing up and down on my couch. SPOILER ALERT for any Dead fans who aren’t caught up― but seriously, get on it.

1. Terminus’ Dirty Secrets Revealed: All reader/viewer suspicions were confirmed as soon as Rick, Daryl, Bob, and Glenn were herded like cattle into the slaughter room. CANNIBALS. They’re sawing into a body, the eight men are draped over a trough, and after a swift whack to the head with a baseball bat, throats are being slit. Oh. My. God. They move quickly down the line, blood pooling around a stainless steel drain.

My eyes were probably as wide as dinner plates.

Bravo, cable television. Slow clap, AMC. It was a harrowing four-minute lead-up to the credits, even though you have to know, to some degree, that our men aren’t going anywhere. Although poor Glenn came close―twice. Then an explosion, some shaky cam, and right into the music. Oh dear god, it’s on. I was grinning like a dope. Yessss, we’re back!

2. Carol’s Badassery: Carol has developed some pretty sizable cojones throughout the last three seasons. After everything she’s overcome, she deserves them. Her tactical

approach to Terminus, her insistence that she check things out for herself, and her strategic assault from afar were so on point. She infiltrated the camp and took it down single-handedly. And her cavalier snack time invitation for the walkers to Mary in the candle room? Go Carol!

3. Walkers, Walkers Everywhere: So. Much. Carnage. A lot of people argue that this show can be too slow moving, but I’ve grown to appreciate its methodical character development.

The walkers can’t be wreaking havoc every single week, but man, it’s cool when they do show up.

Our group has finally gotten to the point where they know how to utilize the dead to their advantage, unleashing them as weapons. We had people getting eaten left and right (sometimes face first), but given the Terminans … Termites? … dietary preferences―karma.

4. Don’t Mess With Judith: You don’t threaten to snap an adorable baby’s neck and live to tell about it. Another example of how dark this show threatens to go. Tyreese was like the Hulk when he came smashing back in. Woo! 5. Reunited And It Feels SO GOOD: Out of the woods she walks and BAM, we’re all sucker punched in the stomach with feelings. The second Daryl turned, I lost it. I’m not sure whom I’d want him to be with romantically and there are a lot of arguments floating around out there for Beth or Carol. I think I lean more toward Carol. But I think the most important part of it, and this is where the show runners seem to agree, is that it doesn’t have to be a romantic connection to still be powerful. This is the same guy who flinched when Carol tried to kiss him on the cheek and now he’s running straight into her arms. It’s all about that personal growth, how far each of them has come, and what they’ve had to do to become who they are. Even Rick, who was in full on attack mode, softened back into his former self a bit when he cradled his believed-tobe-dead baby girl.

So many more talking points, but the Gazette is only so many pages! This season will undoubtedly be epic. You’re the butcher or the cattle. Hunt or be hunted. The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9 on AMC.

60th Anniversary Celebration On August 20, Alton and Naomi Ziegenfuss of Lehigh Township celebrated 60 blessed years of marriage. To commemorate this special occasion, their four children, Suzanne (Hoyle), David, James, and Mary (Laubach), and their spouses orchestrated a surprise open house at Bethany Wesleyan Church. In an outpouring of love, over 140 friends and family members lined up to extend their congratulations to this inspiring couple. Guests enjoyed cake and a beautiful slideshow, and the family capped off the day with a catered dinner. Their four children, 10 grandchildren, and five greatgrandchildren dearly love Alton and Naomi. Their kindness, hope, and generosity have touched lives across our community in immeasurable ways.
