Bethlehem deal would Take over E. Allen water

Bethlehem City Council recently approved terms of a deal that will have them taking over the East Allen Township water system, although it still must be ratified by the Pa. Public Utilities Commission. The city is in agreement with the East Allen Township Municipal Authority and the Board of Supervisors.

Customers in East Allen that will be affected include East Allen Gardens (which is partially in Allen Township), Shady Lane, WilMar

Manor, and Country Square.

The Bethlehem Authority will also take over water supply operations in the Rt. 512 and Airport Rd. neighborhoods, where East Allen’s Authority is already providing Bethlehem city water.

East Allen customers will benefit from the new deal once it is consummated.

While they have been paying from $3.63 to the new rate of $5.00 per 1,000 gallons last year, now they will be paying less – $3.53 per 1,000 gallons.

That is the same rate charged in the City of Bethlehem.

The Bethlehem Authority also wants to expand its operations in East Allen, and that, too, must go through the PUC for approval.

Bethlehem draws its water from reservoirs in the Pocono Mountains.

Under terms of the agreement, the city will be assuming East Allen Township Municipal Authority’s $350,000 debt and allow it to go out of the water business.

Lehigh Twsp. to advertise one Of two proposed ordinances

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Two proposed ordinances were discussed at a meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, March 22.

One concerns wetlands and setbacks, but will be reviewed

by Solicitor David Backenstoe before it can be advertised for possible adoption. The other ordinance establishes no parking regulations in the Hills of Greenock development, designating parking on one side of the street. This will be advertised.

Recreation Changes

The board approved recreation resolution changes proposed by Supervisor Keith Hantz, in which electrical costs would be shared by all teams and the Lehigh Township Athletic Association. It will be $10 a game, whether it’s softball or baseball. Hantz feels the changes are fair to all using the Berlinsville field and/or the refreshment stand. Brian Moser did have some questions on how the figures were computed, but was satisfied at the answer. Hantz said the changes were cleared with Dennis Hock of the recreation board and Rod Christman of the LTAA.

Other Matters

• The supervisors saw a 30-minute power point presentation by Martin Kimmel of Kimmel Bochette Architecture

in Conshohocken on building municipal complexes. The board has no plans for any building at this time, but listened and watched the information that was presented to give them some idea on costs and ideas involved. The public works building is their most immediate concern, because of the shape that it is in.

• Approval was given for the municipal authority to refinance a current loan of $3.4 million.

• The supervisors said they would support an application to Pa. DCNR for Rails to Trails in Northampton County.

• A letter of resignation from Sean Billings on the township planning commission was accepted with regret. It was noted there is a need for more people on the planning commission, with a minimum of three persons necessary for a quorum to take action.

• Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported that the First Regional Compost Authority will be accepting tires for recycling at its East Allen Township facility. Car tires will cost $4 and truck tires $16 to persons bringing them there.

• Approval was given to salaried employees in the township: Frank Zamadics, road department; Alice Rehrig, township manager, and Laura Harrier, zoning and code enforcement officer.

Vincent L Poandl IV was reared in Northampton, later moving to Whitehall and graduating form Whitehall High School in 1982. Following his friends, Vincent enlisted in the US Marine Corps recalling “the 13 week basic training at Parris Island was tough both mentally and physically, we were molded into well disciplined young men”.

His tour of duty was at the Third Marine Air Wing in El Toro, CA working on avionic electronics on giant C-130 aircraft. There he attained the rank of Sergeant (E5).

The young marine started his career at LaFarge in 1988 as a production operating assistant following in the footsteps of his grandfather Vincent and uncle Charles Poandl. He recalls “my coworkers at this time were

Vincent L Poandl IV

LaFarge Cement, Whitehall John Gasper, Jim Schneck, Johnny Kurtz, Dan Bachman, Paul Gergel, Supervisors Alyn Meckes, John Derkits. Our job was to keep the pre-heater and kilns operating regardless of weather condition.”

After eight years in the plant, Mr. Poandl progressed to cement laboratory technician under the supervision of Jeff Montgomery. The group is responsible for the quality of all the cement produced at the plant. Presently, Vincent is a concrete lab technician. After passing a battery of written and laboratory tests, he gained certification from the American Concrete Institute and the PA Dept. of Transportation.

Mr. Poandl’s supervisor and mentor in his position is John Farkas, a former excellent student of this writer at Northampton HS. They work closely with the plant and

customers in designing concrete mixes for the region and assisting their customers with any questions or concern they may have. Vincent said, “ we value the interaction with our loyal customers and do everything possible to satisfy their needs”.

LaFarge Cement has adapted quite well in this ever changing economy and is a good employer and is very safety conscience and environmentally sound.

Vincent is a very knowledgeable employee who has a friendly relationship with his coworkers. He has been married to Jeanette (Shambo) of Northampton for 21 years.

He also serves as Vice-commander of Jones-Quigg Post #739 American Legion in Hokendauqua and is a member of the Marine Corps League.

Vincent spoke of his family saying, “I enjoy riding my Harley with my wife and we are blessed with a good family, with wonderful nephews and nieces. I have one nephew currently serving in the Marine Corp.” A proud former Marine he said, “Lafarge has been a good employer to myself and many other families who have benefited from employment over the years”.

We wish Mr. Poandl and all my friends at the century old plant health and success in 2011, as we anticipate a bright future for our economy and all our dedicated cement workers. The Home News is proud to honor and recognize a cement worker each month.

Yes, it’s spring, and the sun is now shining most of the time, but still it’s cold-d-d.

We keep getting breezes out of the northwest, so temperatures are hanging around the 40’s and in some cases almost down into the 30’s. It’s sure not wearing shorts weather like we had one day a few weeks back. Course I wouldn’t wear ‘em anyhow, but Elmira and other gals are looking forward to it . . . .The Phillies are back at Citizens Bank Park and will be playing Houston on Friday, I believe. It’s gonna be cold, and maybe even some rain. Phillies won their final Grapefruit League game against Houston on Monday, so maybe that’s a good sign.

They did have a good spring, even with all the injuries. . . .

Hats off to the boys and girls from the drama club who put on the “Pajama Game” musical over at Northampton High School this past weekend. It was awesome! I don’t know where they get all their energy, and it sure took a lot as they danced and jumped around. The singing was great, too. I hear some people saw more than one show they liked it so much! . . . . Congrats to all the winners of awards at the Nazareth Chamber of Commerce dinner the other night. I hear the folks attending enjoyed some kinda casino games before dinner.

Using play money, they went all out. At least that’s what

I hear. . . Fish wardens Lee Creyer and Jeff Sabo, and all their helpers, have been busy stocking creeks in Lehigh and Northampton counties for the approaching fishing season. For Pennsylvania, trout season opens this Saturday, April 2. We’re earlier than other parts of the state, I hear, because the water’s supposed to be warmer here. I don’t know about that. Fishermen will probably have ice forming on their lines. The Bath Area Fish Committee will be cleaning the Monocacy on Saturday for the kids’ fishing contest on April 9th and 10th. Even then, I think they better bundle up. . . . I hear there’s a new tanning business in town, located where Doc Brong usta have his office. . . . Anybody spot a robin in their yard yet? I haven’t. It’s still too cold for ‘em, but being creatures of habit they’e around some place, I reckon. . . .Elmira has the spring cleaning bug, so I better check in and lend a hand. See ya.

YES, THINK SPRING!!

Yes, we have certainly seen some crazy weather this March, so maybe…just maybe, if we all close our eyes and think SPRING, Mother Nature will smile upon us and bring us beautiful green grass to cut! So, with grass cutting in mind, here are a few nifty tips for lawn mowers and garden hoses: To prevent cut grass from sticking to lawn mower blades and from building up underneath your mower, spray the underside of the lawn mower with cooking spray or apply a thin coating of car wax to the surfaces before cutting your lawn.

You need to look “no mower” for your lawn and garden needs!

Third graders Have Civil War Era musuem display

Harriet Tubman, the American heroine of the Civil Warera Underground Railroad, died nearly 100 years ago.

However, her life was vigorously displayed recently in the third grade classroom at Sacred Heart School in Bath.

From her boots, to her shawl and farm tools, the students created a museum that showcased their knowledge of the famous abolitionist and her work. Besides “artifacts,” students constructed models of the Underground Railroad trail, cotton fields where Tubman worked as a slave, and even a replica of her tombstone. Visitors also enjoyed Southern biscuits, grits, and fresh fruit at the museum café’.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Legislation I Support

By State Rep. Marcia Hahn When we return to Harrisburg for session in early April, I hope to see movement on a number of bills I have co-sponsored.

Two bills I have received a great deal of constituent comment on are House bills 40 and 377. House Bill 40 is often referred to as the “Castle Doctrine legislation.” Efforts to amend it on the House floor were defeated, and the bill is set for final passage.

I support the legislation, which provides that a person who is not engaged in criminal activity and who is attacked in any place where the individual has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his ground.

House Bill 377 is now in the hands of the state Senate and excludes the sprinkler mandate from the Uniform Construction Code.

While I support our volunteer fire companies and emergency responders, I feel the choice of installing a sprinkler system in a new home belongs in the hands of the homeowner.

The bill also establishes requirements for the use of fire proof materials to protect the underside of floors. The new style of floor joist is less expensive but burns faster.

House Bill 377 would require they be encased in fireproof material.

As a member of the House Game and Fisheries Committee, I have signed on to House Bill 575, which recently passed out of committee. This legislation would do away with the practice of sportsmen having to wear back tags while hunting. Pennsylvania and New York are the only states that still require back tags to be worn.

Sportsmen often lose the tags while crawling through the brush or coming in contact with trees.

I know there will be complaints from constituents who wish to see these tags displayed on hunters for the purpose of immediate, visual identification. Frankly, the print on these tags is so small that it is difficult to read from a distance. Anyone needing to question a hunter about issues such as his or her carrying a hunting license has the right to ask for proof that must be produced and can easily be carried in a wallet.

Finally, I have co-sponsored House Bill 392, which requires the photo of all recipients of public assistance to be placed on electronic benefits transfer and other benefit cards used for the administration of public assistance. The bill also requires each county board of assistance to require photo identification before providing assistance

to any individual.

I admit to being disappointed in Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget proposal and its cut to public education funding while increasing support for public welfare. Auditor General Jack Wagner has pointed out a significant amount of fraud and abuse that needs to be dealt with in this department.

House Republicans will soon be unveiling a package of bills designed to attack the problem and ensure that the dollars allocated to welfare spending reach the people who truly need them. House Bill

Kitchen Song, ”I Believe in Miracles”, with Gary James playing the guitar as his wife, Linda Norris, held the microphone and Luke Cook of Chick-fil-A sang the song.

Cook and his wife, Mandy, later received the most distinguished honor of the night for their generosity in helping the needy.

Frank DeRosa, chairman of the Chamber board, served as master of ceremonies for the program. He presented an award to Lisa Wentz, past chairman, for her service.

Then came the special awards of the night.

Bath Borough Council president Robert Fields and Mayor Donald Wunderler presented the Historical Preservation Award to Joseph Tavianini for improving 20 properties he owns in Bath, particularly 124 W. Main St. He also received a House of Representatives citation from State Rep. Marcia Hahn in recognition of that work.

Nazareth Mayor Fred Daugherty presented an award to Nazareth Center for the Arts at 30 Belvidere St., which has greatly added to the cultural life in the borough with its many public performances The award was accepted by Lon Werner, who told the audience what the center is doing.

Volunteer of the Year Award went to Jennifer Scanlon, presented by Chamber president Tina Smith.

After DeRosa and Dan Thiery narrated a year in review program of power point slides shown by Dan Chiavaroli, which included scenes of Chamber activities in Bath and Nazareth this past year, the 2010 Award of Excellence was presented to Luke and Mandy Cook, owners of the Chick-fil-A restaurant, for their outstanding business in which they do much to help others.

Cook said they are simply doing what scripture says, “Share with God’s people in need.” The couple, through their business, gave away more than $200,000 in food since they opened their business last year at Lower Nazareth Township in the Easton area. Originally from Louisiana and South Carolina, they moved here from Atlanta, Ga., and brought with them a young man from Atlanta who is on their staff.

Cook said the company was founded on Godly principles, with Mandy adding, “that will never change.” Luke said the key to their business has been in hiring trustworthy people.

One of the places they’ve helped is the Loaves & Fishes Soup Kitchen, which feeds needy people at Christ UCC Church in Bath.

The couple said they appreciate all the kindness and generosity of the Chamber and the people of this area, concluding, “It’s been a blessing.”

In addition to the Chamber award, the Cook’s also
