Northampton sister cities Event celebrates culture By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

A sister cities celebration that began in 1974 was again marked on Saturday as a wreath was placed in front of a monument dedicated to the friendship between two communities thousands of miles apart. Mayor Tom Reenock of Northampton credited the late Anthony Pany and the Liederkranz Society for starting the celebration that sparked the friendship between the Borough of Northampton and the city of Stegersbach in Burgenland, Austria. He said, “We must never forget and we must honor that friendship. The culture is important.” Reenock jested that his heritage is of 157 varieties, but is Czechoslovakian/ Ukrainian. He noted thanks for the joys of the people in that area in the past and lamented what is going on now in the Ukraine. Council President John Yurasits thanked the people who

came out to keep the tradition going. This mutual interest between two communities remains alive, but sadly is tapering off in attendance as the older generation itself dwindles. Mayor Reenock, who has 39 years of service as a member of council and as mayor, recalled how wonderful the visit by local people to Stegersbach was several years ago. They were given a royal welcome with music, food, dancing and tours. As they arrived, they were greeted by a party carrying wine. He read a proclamation for Saturday’s celebration, and then a wreath was placed in front of the monument along Laubach Ave. that was first dedicated on July 15, 1990. Another monument was dedicated on July 13, 2002. Taking part, along with the Mayor, were Council President John Yurasits and two ladies, Hilda (Spitzer) Beale and Dorothy Continued on page 8

Bath Borough Council, for the second month, on Monday, Sept. 2 discussed a proposed rental property/inspection program. They got a boost in the very beginning of the meeting when Mr. and Mrs. Frank Molchan said they favor having such a program for the benefit of the borough. But once again, Joe Tavianini, who owns a lot of property in the borough, was the voice of negativity. He repeated his assertions that Bath is too small, it doesn’t need any more new laws, the borough would have to hire new people and make computer updates. “Take care of what we have. Slow down a bit,” Tavianini said, claiming that Council doesn’t enforce other ordinances. Councilwoman Jennifer George said the borough does enforce its ordinances, and that courtesy letters have gone out about the new program. Disputing Tavianini’s claim that the borough isn’t doing anything about a property it owns, she said Council is trying to do something with it. Council President Robert Fields said the state is holding them up with the W. Main St. building. He added that if the ordinance is enacted, enforcement will be done in phases. Councilman Mark Saginario added that Council has been gathering information on such a rental inspection program so that it is done sensibly. Tavianini admitted there may be some bad landlords, but said he isn’t one of them. Councilman Mike Reph asked him if he knows of any buildings in the borough that are not up to code. He said it’s

not the rental properties but houses that are resided in by the homeowners. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman asked Boro Manager Tom Petrucci if there are any homes that are condemned. He said there was one rental property and it has been renovated. Former mayor Betty Fields asked about a house that was up for sheriff’s sale twice. Petrucci said the owner is deceased. Tongue in cheek, she said Tavianini should buy it and fix it up. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts said since she moved here in 2007 there are some homeowners in Old Forge that don’t have the money to keep their homes better and can’t sell them. “There are a lot of struggling families who live there. What are landlords doing there in terms of basic safety?” Solicitor Blake Marles said he found that in Allentown landlords had problem keeping up with the inspection fees. A resident added that he sees good things going on in Bath and the borough shouldn’t be compared to other boroughs or cities. Mrs. Heckman noted that everyone is entitled to basic health, welfare and safety. Marles said in Bath, there are 57% owner-occupied homes, 43% rented. Mrs. George reported that there are many she talked to who are in favor of the rental registration/inspections besides the couple who spoke up. Mrs. Roberts observed, too, that those who oppose anything show up, and often people who favor it stay home. Council said they will vote next month on whether or not to draft an ordinance.

He recalls, “I was hired to replace a highly respected Northampton gentleman, Mr. Lester Reimer, who became my mentor. In 1979, the Whitehall manager was Dick Foster, a visionary who modernized the plant.” “In 1985, I was promoted to storeroom/ purchasing department. With Jack Delabar, we trans-

formed the inventory system from cards to computerization. The plant inventory is stocked with millions of dollars of parts which are readily available to keep the plant operating safely and efficiently.” Today, he is assisted by Ron Koch and works closely with a fine maintenance team; Scott Meckes, Dave Tomasic, Mike Gerencser and supervisor Gary Delauniere.

Bath Council

Continued from page 1

Votes Taken Council took action on four motions, approving all of them: (1) Authorizing the services of Quarter R Ranch for horse and carriage rides at Monocacy Creek Park for the Christmas tree lighting ceremony; (2) amending the zoning ordinance to change the criteria for certain restrictions on sign regulations, severability and effective date; (3) providing penalty guidelines for abuse of the 911 emergency telephone system; and (4) approving the playground equipment design and purchase from the ESSA Bank & Trust Foundation grant at Ciff Cowling Field. In regard to the playground equipment, Saginario said the parks committee made a good selection. It will be installed in spring. •Council also approved a resolution to seek a Monroe County gambling grant to purchase a regenerative air street sweeper for regular use in the borough. • A snow removal strategy is being worked on for plowing and parking. • Additional road repairs will mean cutting up streets, using a roller and paver for major potholes that are still around. • A committee will look at Keystone Communities Development grants. The 2014 CDBG grant of $38,000 was

approved by the county for stormwater infrastructure. A 2014 Greenways, Trails & Recreation Program application has been submitted for a disc golf course at Firefighters Park. Other Matters • Micro offices were discussed by the Bath Planning Commission for a number of locations in the commercial neighborhood. The issue was tabled to bring it before Council before any recommendations. There are at least six spaces in the Wells Fargo building, along with one for Dunkin Donuts and in the former print shop. A Base Engineering representative for the Fantozzi family noted that because of technology a warehouse could have a big business but require only a small amount of employees. Any plans they have would need to go before the BPC and LV Planning Commission. The next BPC meeting is Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. when they could attend. • Betty Fields said she admires Council for keeping up with its ordinances. She also said that while Bath is part of the Nazareth-Bath Area Chamber of Commerce there has been very small attendance at grand openings and other events held locally. • One person complained at a charge of $115 for use of the Keystone Park pavilion. (Money is returned after use when the pavilion is kept in good shape.) • Mrs. Heckman noted that the Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) has its meetings the second

Monday of the month at 1 p.m., but was questioned at the hour when people are working. • Mrs. George said the parks committee met and talked about the beautification of Monocacy Creek Park and playground equipment at Keystone Park. • In the report for Colonial Police, Fields said Martin Boucher of Lower Nazareth Twsp. has been put on the commission. A preliminary CRPD budget calls for Bath’s share of $6,852.12, noting

Alcohol law passed; Plans for 250th Continue in Moore By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, Sept. 2 approved the ordinance written that allows consumption of alcohol at the Recreation Center pavilion. Those who wish to do so will have to obtain a township permit costing $50. If the party leaves the recreation center pavilion clean after their gathering, $40 is returned to them by the township. Additional details were noted concerning the Moore Township Historical Commission’s plans for the township 250th anniversary celebration on the weekend of August 29 and 30, 2015. There will be tours given throughout the township both days, and possibly include stops where re-enactors would be dressed in garb of the period noted in the cel-

that Bath’s population is up slightly, but property values are down. • Asked when S. Chestnut Street will be paved, Fields said Sept. 22. • The August report for the Bath Vol. Firefighters & Ambulance Corps, given by Chief Ed Demchak, showed: 30 man-hours for fire calls; 10, EMS calls; 115, drills; 15, school; 240, administration; 25, equipment repairs; 50, meetings; 55, work details; and 5, fire police for a total of 545 man-hours.

ebration. On August 29 there will be a hot dog eating contest and on August 30 there will be a cake and pie-baking contest. The focal point of the celebration is the former Edelman School, which the township acquired from developer David Jaindl. It is being restored. The historical commission now also has a Facebook page, which people can like. It’s MooreTownship250thanniversarypage. It has interesting photos of places in the township. Other Matters • The supervisors approved three agricultural security zones: the George Schweitzer property, Wayne Cacciola property, and the Moore Township Sunny Slope Farms land that the township recently purchased for more than $800,000. • The board and audience talked briefly about the Marcellus Shale natural gas pipeline that is scheduled to go through a part of Moore Township from its source in northeast Pennsylvania. • A line of credit reduction was approved for the Scenic View Farms development. • Chief Gary West reported the following activities for the Moore Township Police Department during the month of August: 284 total incidents; 48 warning / verbal and written notices of violations; 21 traffic citations; 9 arrests (2 forgery, 3 DUI, 1 simple as-

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Here we are in the second week of September already. We had some cool days in August, but it turned hot and humid as we got into September. . . . Here’s the latest on the paving jobs around here. South Chestnut Street in Bath will get its re-surfacing on September 22. PennDOT, the state highway department, is finished with 512 for now, just putting in strips of blacktop where cracks were covered over. They’re gonna wait until next year and will then completely re-surface 512. What they did so far was just a way to hold the road together for another year. . . . The Konkrete Kids got a good start for this season, beating Allen High School, 40-6. That was a first step in the right direction after losing all their games last year. Then they were shut out by Parkland, 40-0. They have a new coach and a new season. Let’s win a lot more! . . .Happy 80th birthday to Richard at Southmoore Golf Course and

happy 73rd to Betty Fields. Time does fly. . . . I hear the former Phyllis Henshue and husband have bought a home around here and will be moving back to Pennsylvania again after living in Texas for 19 years. . . . We had a community yard sale in town on Saturday. It didn’t amount to as much as in past years, but some folks got rid of things that other people bought. There was a steady line of customers, and those selling things had a chance from time to time to sit on lawn chairs and take in the fairly nice weather. There was a big yard sale up by Salem Church in Moorestown that I took notice of last Thursday and Friday. They had rack after rack of clothing for sale that I could see. . . . Plenty of activity down at the Bath Legion Bowling Lanes as the new season gets underway. I hear there was a 300 game already by Jason Eberts. Congrats! . . . . There sure have been a lot of ice bucket challenges

Bath Bowling Die Hards League Begins New Season With Small Margin By a half game, Team 2 gained first place on September 3 as the Bath Die Hards League launched its 20142015 season at the Bath Legion bowling lanes.

Seiple Farms Corn Maze Features St. Luke’s Logo

Submitted by DENISE RADER A St. Luke’s University Health Network star can be found most anywhere in the Lehigh Valley...on buildings, on ambulances, on billboards…even in a corn field. In fact, visitors to the corn maze at Seiple Farms corn maze in Bath may even get lost in one. This year Seiple Farms’ annual pumpkin harvest includes a Corn Maze designed by Country Corn Maze LLC to look like St. Luke’s logo. With more than 18 acres of corn, 2.5 miles of paths to discover and 16 check point scavenger hunt within the maze, visitors can play in the maze while learning some fun trivia about the human

body and St. Luke’s along the way. “A corn maze is a great way to encourage outdoor activity in a family-friendly venue,” said Ken Szydlow, VP, Marketing, St. Luke’s University Health Network. “We are excited to be chosen by Country Corn Maze to participate as part of the activities in the annual Pumpkin Harvest at Seiple Farms.” In fact, the mileage covered within the corn maze will count towards the Get Your Tail on the Trail program, a health and fitness initiative supported by St. Luke’s and Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) to encourage family activity.

CHANGE IN STUDENT PARKING

REVIVE Bath East Allen Youth Club

at Northampton High School

Due to the swimming pool lot being closed at the Northampton High School, the lower lot of the high school (student parking) will have 50 parking spaces reserved for middle school staff. This area will be blocked off with orange cones. The remaining student parking spots will be available on a first come, first served basis for any student that already has a valid student parking tag. If the lot fills, any other student that arrives prior to 7:30 will be directed back out to Laubach Avenue to find parking on the street. After 7:30 a.m., late arrival students with a valid parking tag will be permitted to park in the upper lot along the back row adjacent to the student lot. If those students have early dismissal, they must leave before the buses arrive. Any cars still in the upper lot at dismissal time will need to wait until the buses clear the upper lot in order to depart.

Seiple Farms Continued from page 8

Celebrating 90th Birthday with a Special Motorcycle Ride

Submitted by LIZ BRANDL Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth is treating one of its residents to a special birthday wish. Doris Shireman, who has lived at the Life Care Community for three years, has always harbored a wish to ride on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. When the Community Life staff at Moravian Hall Square learned of her wish they sprang into action…going one step further than Doris could ever imagine. Laurie Brunstetter, Volun-

teer and Resident Life Coordinator at the community, reached out through social media and made contact with the Lehigh Valley Chapter Harley Owners Group. HOG’s Troy Oberdoester was happy to have the group make Doris’s wish come true. On Thursday, September 11 at 6:30 p.m., Doris is expecting to see one motorcycle arriving to take her for a short ride. What she doesn’t know is that there will be approximately 20 Harley Davidsons arriving in formation to pick up the

birthday girl. The bike carrying Doris will lead the pack from Nazareth, through Point Phillips to Bath, where Doris was a life-long resident prior to moving to Moravian Hall Square. The group will make a stop to enjoy ice cream at My Place Pizza in Bath before returning to Moravian Hall Square. Keystone Harley Davidson will be donating a Harley shirt to Doris in honor of her birthday. Moravian Hall Square is wholly owned and operated by Morningstar Senior Living

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Get Social

By CAROL RITTER

Is social media really social? I took my mom to breakfast this week and as I was walking into the restaurant I noticed a picture album on a shelf. The album had a note on it that indicated that tit was found in a nearby street. There was a picture of eight adults on the outside cover. The note asked that if you knew anyone in this picture to let the restaurant know and it would be returned to the owner. I took a double take because I knew one of the men pictured on the cover of the book, I graduated with him and he lives in Florida now. I didn’t have his phone number so I jumped on Facebook, found him and sent him a private message. I told him the story and he immediately said, “That’s my uncle’s book, I’ll call him and tell him where he can pick it up.” All is well, he got the book back the same day and Facebook saved the day. So many people say to me with righteous indignation, “I’m not on Facebook, I hate Twitter and I don’t even know what Instagram is!” I used to think that way too until someone invited me to a Facebook class. Curiosity got the best of me and I went. After learning how social media can ‘Grow UR Biz’ and also help you connect with people you would never have the time to find, I was hooked. In this case, it served as a conduit for a very good deed, the return of a treasured photo album. And, if you don’t believe all

goodies that are not on my shopping list! Plus the local produce such as the juicy peaches, and colorful sweet peppers! As I was putting up my American flag for the day on the post of my front porch, I saw my neighbor across the street and we gave each other a “Good Morning” wave! I’m the newest resident in my neighborhood, and because I want to learn about my community I always keep a lookout for any local events. Many of my neighbors who are long time Nazareth residents are not aware of the activities that this quaint community offers. The first ever Jazz Festival in Nazareth (www.nazjazz. com) will take place at the Borough Park the Saturday

of this, ALS just raised millions of dollars with people all over the country dumping ice water on their heads - genius idea! Facebook was the conduit. Facebook Facts: *30 million businesses now have a Facebook Fan page. *1.5 million businesses now spend money on Facebook ads. *Facebook users bought $234 million dollars worth of goods and gifts in just the last quarter. Ritter’s on Twitter is growing my audience one tweet at a time. Why? Because I want to grow my biz and the biz of my clients. You also could join Facebook or Twitter just for the news, fun, nosiness or if you just want to see what your kids or family are doing. Twitter Boot Camp is coming up on October 23, from 8:30 until 9:30 a.m. at the Bethlehem Campus of East Stroudsburg University on Broad Street. The event is sponsored by Nazareth Business Council. To reserve a spot call Laurel at 610-2165343. There is social in social media, just ask Peter! Carol S.

Jazz spans a range of music from ragtime to the present day, a period of over 100 years, and sometimes hard to define. It’s a form of folk music that grew from working activities, “in the moment” spontaneous improvisation. It’s been called ragtime, the blues, then jazz, now its swing. Louis Armstrong was my favorite jazz musician. This event is sponsored in part by Kitchen Magic (www.KitchenMagic. com) and is produced by the Nazareth-Bath Chamber of Commerce (www.nazarethchamber.com) and The Epicenter Consulting, LLC. (www.epicenterus.com). And how about this? It is FREE to the public. So I have a group from my neighborhood going, we should have a lot of toe-tapping, and hand clapping fun.

I was returning some DVD’s and also a good read when I noticed an announcement for the Nazareth Center for the Arts (30 Belvidere St. -www.nazaretharts.com). On Saturday, October 11 beginning at 7:30 p.m., they are featuring a versatile, high energy band called “The Innmates.” For tickets call the box office (610-365-2219) or stop in the library and purchase tickets and then “nosey” around. It looks like another neighborhood outing! After the performance we could take a stroll to Emily’s Ice Cream (100 Main St.) for a scoop of delicious ice cream made right on the premises. There are always new flavors to choose from, I love hot fudge sundaes but I’m always open to new temptations! Emily’s also specializes in custom cakes for any occasion! Pretty and yummy! (www. emilysicecream.com). Don’t you think I have some good ideas? The National Penn Bank (33 S. Broad St.) has drivethrough service, and I was in need of opening a checking and savings account. Aimee Ayers is someone I have met at a Nazareth-Bath Chamber event and she was helping me find the best product. The bank offers a savings program that was perfect for me, called “Straight2Savings.” Straight2Savings automatically transfers money from your new or existing checking to a specially designated savings fund. I can choose how often and how much I want to save. And on those rainy days, I can just do a drive through and not have to park and get out of my car. Aimee was also telling me about a recent meeting she attended for Nazareth’s 275th Anniversary of the Borough. This is so exciting! Many special events are in the planning, such as: -The “kick off” begins at the historical Whitefield House. -The Borough Park will celebrate an Ecumenical Service. -A trolley tour through the Nazareth Area. -A parade celebrating Nazareth’s 275th birthday. Many volunteers are needed. For more information contact co-chairman Jeff Gehris, pastor of the Nazareth Moravian Church at 610-759- 3163. As I was leaving The National Penn Bank, and walking to my car, I heard a sound

News Sermonette Rev. E.V. Schwartz

God Is Love

God created us in love, and it is this very love that he wants to pour into our hearts. Because we are his people – the “sheep of his hand” (Psalm 95:7) – God lead us, guide us, and disciplines us out of love. We are the delight of his heart, and all his works – his provisions, his compassion, and his discipline – are intended to lead us back to him. Out of this same heart of love, Jesus calls us to help our brothers and sister – to seek the best for them and to lead them back to the Father. Sometimes this may include saying things that are difficult in order to protect and nurture their relationships with God. As hard as this may be, the debt of love that we owe one another is Christ, Compels us. (Romans 13:8). We love because Christ first loved us; out of his love, we seek to build one another up in the Lord. Without the love Christ, we risk speaking out of Self-righteousness, judgementalism or feelings of superiority. We can easily understand how much correction could result in hurt and shame. It is not unusual that parent sometimes have to say difficult things to their children in order to help them grow. Most parents recognize the challenge of correcting out of love rather than out of frustration or anger. The goal of parenting is to guide our children to Christian adulthood so that they can receive their full inheritance and rights as children of God. In the same way, God love sand disciplines us – His beloved children. God created us to live in unity with him and with each other, removed every dividing wall by his death on the cross. Through the gift of the Spirit, he has given us everything we need to live out this unity – to become vessels of his love and mercy. Let us pray for the grace to serve one another in love, knowing that such service give joy to our heavenly Father’s heart. “Father, may the unity that Jesus won for us on the cross be at the center of our hearts as we serve others in your name. Help us love one another with the same love you have shown us.” that made me look up. It was the American flag caught up in the wind and displayed proudly in front of the bank. It always fills me with pride to see our flag. See you at the Jazz Festival!

We Need Revival Like This In 1904 a young ministerial student named Evan Roberts, felt that God was going to pour out a mighty revival on Wales. Roberts began attending various revival meetings, and during one he was deeply moved by the Spirit. As he prayed at the altar he cried out to God, “Bend me O Lord!” This was a complete and total surrender of his will to God’s will. He soon returned to his home church where his pastor announced that Roberts would be speaking following the regular prayer meeting. Only 17 teenagers and young adults stayed to hear him. He spoke for nearly two hours with a simple fourpoint message that he was convinced could help bring revival. 1. Confess all known sin to God. 2. Get rid of any “doubtful” area in your life. 3. Obey the Holy Spirit instantly. 4. Confess Christ publicly. When Roberts finished speaking, all 17 young people were on their knees at the altar crying out to God! They prayed until 2 a.m. It was the beginning of one of the greatest movements of God in all history. By the end of the week, over 60 people were won to Christ. Over the course of the next year and a half, revival swept through the nation of Wales. Over 1 million people were led to saving faith in Jesus Christ! The national culture was dramatically changed. All of the taverns and liquor stores went out of business! Due to a complete lack of crime, the entire police force was dismissed for almost 18 months! One of the few court cases brought before a judge was unusual. The defendant came into the court and admitted his guilt. The judge led the man to Christ, and the case was closed by the jury singing a hymn! O God, send us a revival like this in America! I invite you to attend our remaining revival services continuing nightly through September 12 at 7:30 p.m. with Evangelist Jimmy Millikin.

The Scoop on Pets

Animal Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley By DENISE CASSIDY-DIETSCH

We are all aware of our local food banks and food pantries, which help families and individuals in need, putting food on their tables. But who feeds their pets? We are very fortunate in the Lehigh Valley to have an Animal Food Bank. The Animal Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley began in 2005, as a Girl Scout project. They distributed pet food out of the Trinity Soup Kitchen in Bethlehem to pet parents on a monthly basis. As the need grew, so did the number of volunteers and Animal Food Bank of the

Lehigh Valley received its non-profit status in 2009. It is currently located on 3rd Street in Bethlehem, in the Fowler Family Southside Center. Currently, there are six regular volunteers, and high school students also volunteer their time to fulfill their community service requirements. Two hundred clients are currently registered, and the food bank feeds over 6000 pets per month. Federal poverty guidelines are used to determine financial need for the pet food. Along with emergency pet food

tinue to receive food. The Animal Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley’s Mission is simple: “To keep pets with their families and alleviate animal hunger by soliciting, collecting, packaging and distributing pet food to individuals and families in need.” Achieving that goal is no simple task, and requires the efforts and generosity of the community.

distribution, the Animal Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley also offers monthly food distribution, pet supplies and toys (when available), information on low-cost spay/neuter and vaccines, educational information and pet food coupons. Regular food distribution happens on second, third and fourth Fridays of the month, between 1 and 5 p.m. Each registered client can attend one distribution per month. When there is surplus food available, pet food is also supplied to area nokill shelters, animal rescues (501C3) and feral cat colonies. The first priority is to supply pet food to families/ individuals with pets in order to keep them out of the shelter system. Dogs must maintain a current county license, and dog and cats must maintain a current rabies vaccine to con-

From Oregon to Manhattan for Firefighters

Runner raising funds for firefighters passed through our area Monday By ALICE WANAMAKER Around 11 a.m. this morning, Jeff Venable of Denton Texas stopped by our office on his way to New York City. Jeff has been running, yes running, since May 31, 2014. He started the charity crosscountry run in Coos Bay, Oregon with a goal of reaching New York City for the 9/11 Memorial on Thursday. Jeff is on track to arrive in New York by Wednesday night so he can attend the 9/11 ceremonies on Thursday morning. Jeff and his wife Linda Venable started a non-profit charity called Support for

Firefighters to support firefighters and their families. Jeff and Linda have chosen Fallen Firefighters, The Thin Red Line and The Sons of the Flag as a few of the beneficiaries of their fundraising efforts. Support for Firefighters also raises funds for safety equipment for volunteer organizations and research for burn victims. Linda Venable served as a firefighter in Dallas Texas for 33 years before retiring last year. According to Jeff, this crosscountry trek, nearly 4,000 miles on foot at an average of 37 miles per day, has been the

hardest run of his life. Jeff has had great weather for most of his journey but the biting flies in Colorado and mosquitos have been a bit difficult at times. “Running has been fairly easy,” he said on a brief stop by our office.Jeff hopes to continue to raise money on the last leg of his journey. He has just about 100 miles to go from our area to New York City by Wednesday night. He has raised over $2,000 since he started in May and has high hopes that others will pitch in and help out. If you would like to support Jeff and his wife in their mission to answer the call for firefighters across the country, visit their website at www.supportforfirefighters.com or find them on Facebook at “Support for Firefighters.” You can also track his journey and see his photos from the road over the past few months.
