Hahn appointed To property tax Working group Submitted by SCOTT LITTLE As a former legislative staff member and nearly five-term member of the Legislature, state Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Bushkill Township) has been on the front lines of the property tax debate.

For that reason, she has been appointed to serve on a School Property Tax Working Group that met Monday for the second time. The group consists of House and Senate members from both sides of the aisle.

“This is a very complex issue that in some ways is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to funding education in Pennsylvania,” Hahn said. “We are looking not only at possibly reducing or even eliminating school property taxes, but also the cost drivers that would impact any piece of legislation we put forward and affect its sustainability for future generations.”

Hahn says there are eight pieces of school property tax legislation that have been introduced in the House and Senate, including

her House Bill 1200. The working group is evaluating the merits of each one of them.

“While the understood goal obviously is providing relief for taxpayers, our objective as an appointed group of legislators is to discover which bill or combination of bills has the best chance to garner 102 votes in the House, 26 Senate votes and the signature of the governor,” said Hahn.

“Nothing gets done if a piece of legislation can’t accomplish that.

“Over the years, I’ve heard many constituents say they simply want school property taxes eliminated,” Hahn added. “Doing so would mean having to come up with a stable source of revenue that will generate more than $8.5 billion annually, and that figure increases each fiscal year.

“The ideal situation would be to find that funding source, in addition to a way to reduce the price tag for education. Accomplishing that would serve as even greater stewardship of taxpayer dollars.”

STORIES FROM MY HEART

Allen supervisors approve Jaindl Watson warehouse development

Those Who Serve, Those Who Wait

by Cynthia Snyder-DeLuca Two years ago, my husband and I traveled to the Naval Academy with my daughter, her husband and her father-in-law. We were on our way to watch my grandson, Midshipman Christian Correale compete against Army in gymnastics.

Now, I could write about how beautiful the academy is, how Navy beat Army, and how my grandson scored his personal best on the parallel bars and rings, but I’m not.

Instead I choose to write about the parents of those wonderful young men and women, who chose to serve their country, whether through the academy or enlisting in one of the military branches.

My pleasure and more…

It has been my pleasure to visit both the Naval Academy and West Point. I also have many friends who have a son or daughter serving at home or abroad. My oldest son enlisted right out of high school in the eighties as well. Whenever I travel and see a man or woman, regardless of age, dressed in their uniform, I always try to strike up a conversation. It is important to let them know how much I appreciate what they do not only for me, but for all of us.

Whether I am at a military football game, gymnastic meet, or talking with parents who have a son or daughter serving, I am always in awe of the tremendous love and pride they feel for their loved ones. It is written on their faces, and heard through their beautiful words of love.

These amazing parents worry about their sons and daughters every day, but continue to support them through letters, filled with what is happening at home, encouragement, and somewhere within the body of works, telling them how proud they are of their accomplishments.

They send packages filled with home baked cookies, candy bars, and anything their soldier needs.

Communication is the key to helping families cope with missing each other. I could go on and on about the feelings parents experience, the fear they feel, and the patience they practice every day waiting to hear, “I am coming home!”

One mother shared with me that she starts her day with a prayer for her daughter and all those who are serving. The prayer continues throughout the day and ends when she climbs into bed. This precious mother touched my heart.

A father’s prayer…

It was dark when we started home from the Naval Academy.

Before we left the yard, my sonin-law pulled over and got out of the SUV. I thought maybe the

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, August 13, Allen Township supervisors approved the final plan for the Jaindl Watson warehouse development between Howertown and Seemsville Roads.

The project, which proposes 2.4 million square feet of warehouse, started three years ago. Several updates have been made to the plan since it was first introduced. “[We are] entitled to final plan approval as long as [we] live up to the preliminary plan and conditions,” attorney Erich Schock reminded supervisors.

“The plan has really advanced,” he added. “[We did] the best we can do to be a good neighbor.”

Before voting, one request was made by Supervisor Gary Behler.

He asked that the money the developer set aside for a right turn lane southbound on Howertown Road be saved and used for an extension on Savage Road. The township has had difficulty obtaining the right-of-way for the turning lane.

This was a suggestion that David Jaindl had no issue with.

Behler made the motion to approve the final plan. However, he told residents it was not a decision he took lightly.

“Nobody wants a warehouse,” he said. “It comes down to a legal issue. We really have no choice. If there was any legal way around it, we would vote no.”

The township is required to pro-

hatch opened but instead, I saw him walk over to the water. My daughter shared that on every visit, and before they leave, this sweet wonderful father spends time in prayer. He prays for his military sons. He prays for all those young men and women at the Academy, and he prays for peace. I must admit, tears meandered down my cheeks.

My heartfelt feelings…

As I finish this story, my heart is full of gratitude for the men and women who are serving our great country. I also think of the thousands and thousands who have served over the years. There is, and never will be enough ways to say, “thank you,” for the sacrifices these men and women have made and will continue to make. Because of their sacrifices, I have hope for the future. A future filled with peace.

One more thing…

Please say a prayer for our military men and women, and their families.

vide zones for every use. The Jaindl Watson property is zoned for industrial use. Supervisors are legally required to approve the project if it meets certain conditions.

All supervisors agreed and voted yes on the motion, except for Supervisor Dale Hassler.

“My convictions are it does not belong there,” he said. “Morally, it does not belong there.”

The township still does not know who the tenants of the warehouse property will be or how much truck traffic it may bring in.

It was a decision that residents were not happy with.

“Our township did not put up a good fight,” said resident Maggie Kemp. “Tonight it was liberty and justice for Jaindl.”

Supervisor Gerald Montanari told residents none of the supervisors are happy about having more warehouses in their township.

However, Behler tried to console residents. He said the zone between Howertown and Seemsville Roads is one of the last industrial zones left in the township.

During the same meeting, supervisors also took action to restrict truck traffic on local roads. They approved the $1,700 purchase of “No Truck” signs to be placed at intersections along Walker Drive, McNair Drive, Buckingham Drive, Adams Street, Atlas Lane, John Drive, Savage Road, and Willowbrook Road.

“If [these signs] stop one truck, it was worth it,” said Behler.

To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: CT, DE, FL, NJ, NY, PA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account.

Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2.

Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A penalty for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the special rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1., 2.

If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Northampton Council signals Preference for single homes Over age-qualified apartments

By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Northampton Borough Council meeting on Thursday, August 15, Bob Dwyer, of the Willow Brook Farms Fuller Family Preservation Trust, gave a presentation on the future development of the farm’s property.

In an effort to protect the farm and buffer it from nearby warehouse development, Dwyer and the Fuller family are proposing the development of single-family homes and apartments along Willowbrook and Howertown Roads.

Phase 1 of the project has already been approved and sold to a developer who will be constructing single-family homes, 11 of which are in Northampton.

In the borough, one parcel of undeveloped land is left along Howertown Road.

Dwyer presented councilmembers with two options: one plan for a 55-and-over luxury apartment complex and another for 57 single-family homes. The apartment complex would require rezoning. The single-family homes are by-right, meaning that development can move forward as long as requirements areVAmet.

LID Dwyer wanted to get council’s opinion on the apartment plan, which he said would be better for the borough. Rent would be between $1,100 and $1,200, bringing in higher incomes and more school taxes, with no students added to the school and less$ traffic.

99 The property would also have six acres of open space and a residents-only rec center.

The single-family homes would be built on small-sized lots, Dwyer said. Lots would not be more than 5,000 square feet.

He said it is important that something marketable be done to this property, otherwise the Fuller family may have no choice other than to sell it to a developer who may one day build another warehouse. The Fuller Trust is currently using funds in a lawsuit against Allen Township for rezoning.

Some residents in attendance said Dwyer’s words were a “scare tactic.”

Councilmembers were in agreement and vocalized their objections to the age-qualified apartments.

“I am totally against rezoning,” said Councilwoman Judy Kutzler.

Councilman Ed Pany said that “homeowners would be more responsible” and added that the borough should be encouraging home ownership.

Meanwhile, Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. called renters “transients” and said that apartments are an “egg box,” with some “good eggs” but also some “polluted” AU G U S T 1 –eggs.

AU G U S T 2 7 Councilman Keith Piescienski said there have been cases of agequalified apartments turning into “HUD Housing.”

Although Solicitor Steven Goudsouzian said council may want to go away, think about the plan, and regroup, council decided to conduct a straw poll.

All councilmembers were against the apartment plan.

Wolf Administration announces Funding for vaccines, outreach amid Hepatitis A outbreak

Mean people

By CAROL RITTER Do you know any mean people?

I’ll bet you can think of one or maybe two or maybe 10. I went to Clark & Miller (Better English & Better Communication Skills) and looked for a description of mean people to help us understand why the bullies, the nasties and the jealous hurt people in their lives and, worse than that, why they enjoy it.

So, Clark & Miller have 66 negative personality adjectives to describe your worst enemies. These are a few of the descriptors.

Mean people are: selfish, impolite, arrogant, nasty, callous, self-centered, confrontational, cruel, tactless, jealous, secretive, untrustworthy, sneaky and resentful, moody, cowardly and weak.

Years ago, I worked for a company where I had one boss but many others that I helped. And there was this guy who the staff realized was in a cranky mood every Monday. Was it because he had to come back to work or was it because he hated the weekends? Then we figured it out.

Tuesdays were good, Wednesdays were better, Thursdays started to really be great and on Fridays he was actually enjoyable.

So here’s my shot at not only understanding “mean people” but learning how to cope. Maybe mean people were treated that way their whole lives and it’s payback time, or maybe their marriage is in shambles, or maybe they are punishing you for the sins of others. Or maybe they are just plain mean. Regardless of the reason, you have three choices; you either take it from them, you fight back or you do your best to remain polite and strategically think of ways to disarm and move forward. My number one piece of advice is don’t take it personally, it’s them, not you.

A friend of mine recently said to me that when working with people or sitting on a committee, at work or on a board, we are humans first and co-workers, members of the board or committee second.

Let’s always be kind to one another, even when someone is unkind.

Finding God

There is an ancient story from India about a young man who was seeking God. He went to a wise old sage for help. “How can I find God?” he asked.

The old man took him to a nearby river. Out they waded into the deep water.

Suddenly the old man seized the young man by the neck and pushed him under the water! He held the young man down until he was flailing the water in desperation! Another minute and he may well have drowned. Up out of the water the two of them came. The young man was coughing water from his lungs and still gasping for air. Reaching the bank he asked the man indignantly, “What did that have to do with my finding God?” The old man asked him quietly, “While you were under the water, what did you want more than anything else?” The young man answered, “I wanted air. I wanted air more than anything else!” The old man replied, “When you want God as much as you wanted air, you will find him!”

To those who are earnest in finding Him, God promises, “If…thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul” (Deuteronomy 4:29). You will find God when you put all of your heart into seeking Him—when you make it your top priority. Serious seeking of the Lord includes reading the Bible—start with the Gospel of John. It includes praying and accepting Jesus as your Savior (see www.naog.ws/theway.htm). James declared, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” Then he specified a list of things that show we mean business with God, “Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep…Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord” (James 4:8-10). Jesus promised that those who “hunger and thirst after righteousness” (see www.naog.ws/thirsty.htm) “shall be filled” (Matthew 5:6). God pledges, “Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

– Written by the late Pastor Daniel E. Lundmark

State Police Announces 2018 DUI Arrest totals Submitted by PA STATE POLICE The Pennsylvania State Police announced today that troopers made 20,143 driving-underthe-influence (DUI) arrests in 2018, which reflects a one percent increase from the total number of DUI arrests (19,963) in 2017. In addition, troopers investigated 4,926 DUI-related crashes in 2018.

“First responders see the devastating effects of impaired driving every day,” said Colonel Robert Evanchick, commissioner of the Pennsylvania State Police. “Through a combination of education and enforcement, we continue to work with our law enforcement and safety partners to address this serious issue.”

In Pennsylvania, a driver is guilty of DUI if they are impaired by any substance, including alcohol, prescription or over-the-counter medication, and illicit drugs. Troopers certified as drug recognition experts (DREs) receive specialized training to identify the physiological signs of impairment caused by a wide range of controlled substances. State police DREs conducted 758 drug influence evaluations in 2018.

A list of 2018 state police DUI arrest totals, DUI crash investigations, and DRE drug influence evaluations broken down by troop is available here. These figures reflect information from the Pennsylvania State Police and do not include information from other law enforcement agencies in the commonwealth.

State police community service officers regularly speak about DUI prevention and other traffic safety topics at schools, community events, and businesses. Their presentations are offered at no charge and may be requested by contacting your local state police station.

“Troopers have a zero-tolerance approach toward impaired driving but would rather prevent a DUI by educating drivers than arrest them or respond to a DUI-related crash,” said Colonel Evanchick. “Every motorist has the responsibility to keep themselves and others safe by wearing their seat belt, eliminating distractions, and never driving while impaired.”

Penalties for a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania are based on several factors, including an individual’s criminal history, blood alcohol content level, and whether injuries or property damage occurred.

Potential consequences include thousands of dollars in fines, a license suspension, and prison time.

Moorestown Garden Club next monthly meeting submitted by SARAH CLOUTIER The Moorestown Garden Club will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday, September 3, at 7 p.m. at the Salem UCC Fellowship Hall, 2218 Community Dr., Bath. Liz Boresh will present, “Gardening is Not for Pansies.” Admission is free, and the public is always welcome.

Goodies Gone Wild is the name of a family run store selling hot sauces, sodas, cotton candy tubs and exotic meats in Downtown Easton. Owner Danny Neville recalls it opened in 2018, the same day Bacon Fest took place that year.

A transplant from New York City, Danny explained he likes “crazy stuff.” One day he visited a food convention and was inspired by the hot sauce industry and the many different varieties available.

Growing up with a stepfather from Ecuador helped introduce him to a different cuisine, thus developing a taste for hot sauces. “I like them, flavorful without spices or with spices, all depends on how I feel that day,” he said as he was showing the sauce he was planning to use for dinner once he got home that night. The selection is indeed vast and the owner keeps a selection of his favorites for customers to taste.

As he continued relating, Danny then decided to combine other things that he liked to incorporate into his offering. “Who doesn’t like cotton candy?” he exclaimed as he showed the lineup. Chardonnay flavored cotton candy, kangaroo burger patties, and python jerk meat are among some curiosities you will find at this store. If you’re seeking an unusual gift, Goodies Gone Wild might be the place.

Gift baskets are available or you can make one to order. Mr. Neville

expressed he carefully researches the ingredients and tastes every product in his store before making it available to customers. He stated he helps others small businesses by selling their products, for instance he mentioned some meats come from a family-owned farm in Philadelphia. He also keeps active in the community by bringing the Goodies Gone Wild tent to different fair across many cities and bringing fun activities.

When asked why he chose his location, he said Easton is rising and is the place to be right now. He has received a good welcome and already has many regular customers. In addition, his mother lives not far in Alpha, New Jersey, so he likes the convenience of being close to her. He said he likes to be busy by helping family, friends and his community. Indeed Danny is a family-oriented American, when asked what motivates him he replied, “I want a better future for my kids.” Mr. Neville is planning on opening another store, possibly in the Greater Lehigh Valley.

Next time we visit Blend in Bath.
