Flames destroy home and barn in Lehigh Township

By BILL HALBFOERSTER & ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Thirteen years ago, fire destroyed a barn in Lehigh Township that killed more than 100 pigs. It was at Lorah’s Pig Roasters & Farm Market at 4739 Cypress Drive.

On Sunday morning, another barn owned by Lorah’s burned to the ground.

It was the second of two fires on Sunday that Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Co. and other area fire companies responded to. The earlier one was a house at 4555 Lehigh Drive, across the street from Becky’s Drive-in Theater.

No one was injured in either blaze, but the properties in both instances were destroyed.

The resident, Henry R. Johnson, who had lived in the home for about nine months, was given lodging, meals, clothing and toiletry items by the Greater Lehigh Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross. According to published reports, he was awakened by his pet dog at about 6 a.m. He had been sleeping on a couch and after waking up saw smoke in the living room.

The home was up for sale.

The fire was reported around 6 a.m. The fire completely gutted the structure.

Just as the firefighters finished putting out that fire

along Rt. 248 they saw smoke and got a call about the second fire less than a mile away at Lorah’s Farm market in Berlinsville.

Over 45 firefighters were on the scene around 11:30 a.m.

Sunday morning working to put out the fire that was continuing to smolder in the hay from the barn. It was a well organized operation of firefighters working together to ensure safety and swiftly extinguish the fire.

As fire trucks went back and forth from the reported source of water used to douse the fires, the Berlinsville quarry, traffic was halted. At one point, as cars stopped along the busy highway, a Lehigh Township fire policeman radioed from the truck, "Move, you cannot stop on the highway".

This reporter was in the fellowship hall of Christ Church, Bath, shortly after worship had ended at 10:15 a.m., when he received a call about the fire at a farm market. It was the Lorah barn fire that was being referred to.

Contained in the 100-yearold barn were farm equipment and tons of hay and straw. The latter proved troublesome as always, as it continually re-ignited. A front end loader was used to break up the smoldering bales. This time there were no pigs in the

100 by 200-ft. barn.

Fire Company Response Responding to the fires in addition to Lehigh Township were these other fire fighting companies: Northampton, Schnecksville, Friedens,

Walnutport, Slatington, East Allen, Klecknersville, Allen Township, Aquashicola, Laury’s Station, Coplay and Neffs.

Lehigh Fire Chief, Rich Hildenbrand, Jr. and his men were the first on the scene.

North Penn Goodwill Services from Souderton assisted firefighters and police on the scene with food, water, towels and warmth.

There was no report on the cause of either fire. Officials are investigating.

AERIAL LADDERS were provided by Northampton and East Allen Township fire companies.

Obama’s Strategy Republican’s are in for a difficult job to convince the majority of voters President Obama is not seeking to cut spending immediately.

Obama’s January speech to Congress--with most members standing up every minute or two in the last half hour applauding--was convincing. But his proposed investments were often spending. And many of his proposed savings are unlikely.

Nevertheless, Obama is a convincing speaker and his expressed goals are those of most voters. Obama’s move to the center, vocally, wins wide support. It makes the task of Republicans, to paint Obama as a big spender, difficult.

The crucial test in this first session of the 112th Congress is whether Republicans (and Tea Party members) can force Democrats to accept large reductions in many appropriation bills, and eliminate unneeded agencies.

Republicans doing this needed reform face the task of convincing voters this is urgent and necessary. But eliminating spending in many areas, as needed, could cost jobs and votes in 2012. A tough task, and Obama would be wise to go along seriously with that critical, needed effort.

Opinion America’s Debts: Even More Calamitous Than We Thought

By Mark W. Hendrickson Brace yourself. This isn’t going to be pleasant. If you’re in a bad mood or get easily upset, you may wish to pass on reading this article.

The country is in even worse shape economically than we thought. We awoke on Feb. 14 to find that this year’s federal budget deficit is going to be larger than previously projected—a record $1.65 trillion.

Recently, the official accumulated debt of the federal government passed the $14 trillion threshold. A trillion is a gigantic number. If you stacked $100 bills flat on top of each other, then turned that stack on its side, a trillion dollars would stretch from where I live in western Pennsylvania to somewhere past St. Louis. That’s just ONE trillion. Multiply that by 14, and it would stretch from here to Honolulu and back with plenty to spare.

The really bad news is that Uncle Sam’s debt is significantly greater than $14 trillion, and I am not referring to the tens of trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities representing undeliverable government promises. According to data released by the U.S. Treasury on January 21, the public debt is $20.7 trillion, an increase of $3.3 trillion in just the last year.

The larger sum—actual existing debt of $20.7 trillion—includes such off-budget items as bailouts, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, student loans, and who knows what else? I have to say “who knows what else,” because the leviathan federal government long ago became too large to keep track of. For example, 25 years ago the Grace Commission, instituted by Ronald Reagan in the hope of identifying ways to streamline the federal government, was unable to tabulate how many people worked for the federal government, although they did manage to identify 963 federal programs that redistributed wealth.

Not only is our current national indebtedness more than 40 percent greater than the already horrendous commonly cited figure, the Social Security program is in worse shape than expected, too. As recently as a month or two ago, it was widely accepted that payouts from Social Security would start to exceed revenues in 2016.

In a stunning development, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report on January 26 which projected that revenue shortfalls will begin this year and

continue uninterrupted until all unfunded IOU’s are exhausted by 2037 (if not much sooner). The CBO projects what would have been a $45 billion shortfall this year, but thanks to the terrible deal that President Obama and congressional Republicans forged in December—the one that included a 2-percent reduction in Social Security withholding from workers’ paychecks—this year’s Social Security red ink is expected to hit $130 billion.

At the state level, finances are deteriorating at a sickening speed. Governors are starting to ask the Obama administration for permission to drop people from Medicaid (280,000 people in Arizona alone). Moody’s, the debtrating agency that seems to wait until after a collapse has happened to lower its rating of an entity’s finances, is making noises about downgrading the credit rating of several states.

News Sermonette The Rev. Glenn Rice

Pastor, Zion’s Stone U.C.C. Church

I Don’t Care!

By Darned, I’m Right!

Do you ever hear yourself saying that? Open your bible and read the book of Jonah. Yes, you can read an entire book of the Old Testament in less than ten minutes.

Okay, I am assuming you read the book. That wasn’t so hard.

Jonah was mad; really mad. God had forgiven the sinful people of Nineveh. The prophet Jonah was angrily thinking, why have I suffered so much to bring God’s message to the people of Nineveh if God was just going to let them off the hook? By darned, I’m right ... they deserved to die. Why didn’t God just give them what they deserved?

Jonah went off by himself and waited to see what would happen to Nineveh. God decided to give Jonah some relief from the sun by quickly growing a vine over him. After allowing Jonah a time of relief, God had the plant die almost as quickly. All of a sudden, Jonah was missing the comfort and shade of that vine. He was sorry it was gone.

That loss, that pity for the plant helped him understand God’s pity.

God cared for the many people who lived in Nineveh.

God also cared for the animals of the great city. What Jonah discovered was being merciful can sometimes be better than always being right.

My prayer for you is that you stop for a moment or two and think about all God has given us. He has given us so much, even when we don’t deserve it. Take your anger and negativity in your lives and allow it to melt away. Allow God to help you extend to others the same love and compassion He continues to extend to us.

on time, but it was a close call. I gave her those hugs and kisses, and a little present and she’s happy. That’s what counts. . . . Have a nice week, gang.

Opinion Continued from page 2

It was supposed to be so much warmer this week. It was a little warmer, maybe, but only just enough to start things melting. And it got windy on Monday night, and cold again. Anyhow, with it being Valentine’s Day we didn’t think much about weather, and more about loved ones. Lots of folks were wearing red, and clothes that had plenty of hearts on them.

I hope you guys gave your favorite gal a big hug and kiss. . . . .Two fires up Lehigh Township way in the neighborhood of Berlinsville kept the firefighters busy on Sunday. Fortunately, nobody was hurt, I hear. That was an awful tragedy over in Allentown last week, and I hear they say now that it was an explosion and fire that was caused by natural gas, destroying eight homes and losing five lives. . . .I heard last night that Sam Remaly passed away on Sunday while over in Lehigh County. He and Ruth just came back from a cruise celebrating their 50th anniversary, as I get it. You never know.

My sympathies to Sam’s family. . . . . That was nonsense last week about Council and the lawyer wondering if the museum would sell any of their items. They’ve been collect-

ing them all these years for people to enjoy. They’re not gonna sell anything! Can’t figure out how they come up with these crazy ideas.

It makes you wonder sometimes. . . . Lincoln’s birthday was on February 12th, but when Washington’s birthday is on February 21st, we’ll celebrate Presidents’ Day. So it’s another Monday holiday. . . .

Grapevine has it that the Lutheran dart team from town didn’t play on Monday, and that the players were spending time with their sweethearts instead because of Valentine’s Day. . . . Spring training started for the Phillies pitchers and catchers on Monday. They may have the best pitchers, but they sure are in need of some big hitters. That was one of the reasons they lost in the playoffs last year. Pitching is big, but if the team can’t score runs, it doesn’t help. Anyhow I’m glad baseball is coming on.

Basketball and hockey are good, football is past, and I’m not a fan of rasslin’ so that’s the way it is. You either like a sport or you don’t. . . . Forgot to mention Valentine’s Day in my letter last week, and it wasn’t until Elmira started throwing me some hints that it dawned on me. I woke up

At the municipal level, many bonds continue to tank as municipalities careen toward bankruptcy. Of the three largest bond insurers, two are already bankrupt while the survival of the third is in doubt.

Meanwhile, Obamacare is ripping us apart. The administration itself has already granted over 200 waivers to well-connected businesses and labor unions from having to comply with its unaffordable costs (meaning that wealth is being redistributed from those who don’t receive the exemptions to those that do).

Two federal judges have upheld Obamacare while two others have ruled it uncon-

THE HOME NEWS stitutional. The result is that some state governors and attorneys general are voiding it within their jurisdictions while others are not. Obama is proceeding with costly implementation despite the bill’s uncertain status. Besides the confusion and uncertainty that this is sowing, valuable time will be consumed in waging this titanic constitutional struggle—time that could and should be spent addressing the ballooning spending/debt crisis.

Given the magnitude of governmental fiscal woes, the struggle in Washington between Democrats who talk about (but don’t propose) a possible spending freeze in one small corner of the federal budget, and Republicans who claim to want to cut $100 billion of annual spending, is a cruel joke. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns!

Presidential exhibit at the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum

On President’s Day weekend the Father of the United States, President George Washington and the nation’s Savior, President Abraham Lincoln, will be boldly represented in a new exhibit on American Presidents opening Saturday, February 19th at 1:00 p.m. at the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum. The exhibit, titled American Presidents from Washington to Obama, includes original signatures of Abraham Lincoln, George W. Bush, Gerald Ford, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Baines Johnson, and others.

Joseph Garrera, executive director of the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum, said “We are pleased to announce that the National Park Service at the Morristown National Memorial Park will be loaning the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum an authentic letter written by George Washington when he was President of the United States in 1893,” said Garrera. The Washington letter will only be displayed for one week, alongside a letter written by Abraham Lincoln during his presidency, on loan from a private collector.

“This exhibit will be fun to look at and enjoy; it’s constructed to be interactive and engaging, testing the public’s knowledge of history and trivia. Children can even test their wit against presidential crossword puzzles.”

The exhibit features the collection of the late Dr. John F. “Jack” McHugh, one of the most respected educators in Eastern Pennsylvania, who died in September 2010.

McHugh used his intelligence and training wisely.

He worked with the Lehigh County Historical Society to record oral histories of veterans of the Second World War many years before the Library of Congress and others in America realized their importance. McHugh not only studied history, he helped make it. He served nineteen years as a commissioner for Lehigh County government.

He kept dozens of journals recording historical events and local politics. He attended six national political conventions, saving everything from campaign signs to old fashioned candidate buttons. Before his death, he donated his vast collection of presidential memorabilia and history archives to the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum. Much of his collection will be on display in this exhibit. Ameri-

Monitor 2200 New Monitor 2400

can Presidents from Washington to Obama honors the memory of Dr. McHugh as it highlights this important collection. Members and friends of the McHugh family will attend the exhibit opening.

Highlights of the exhibit include an original photograph personally signed by President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson.

A vintage holiday greeting card simply signed “Jack” by President Kennedy is also on display. “Vintage political campaign buttons and original newspapers dating to the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860 to Barack Obama in 2008 help round out the 250 authentic items that bring the presidents to life,” said Garrera.

Museum officials have also secured an exact full size replica of JFK’s iconic rocking chair, right down to the very same padding Kennedy used on his. “We are even going to allow visitors to the opening of this exhibit on February 19th to sit in the rocker so they can get a true sense of how it felt to Kennedy,” said Garrera.

The exhibit opens at 1:00 p.m. with brief remarks from members of the McHugh family, immediately followed by a PowerPoint Lecture that will highlight popular images of the presidency from Washington to Obama. Professional reenactors portraying Abraham Lincoln and

George Washington will greet visitors on opening day. They will pose for family photographs, answering questions and interacting with children.

“This will be an eye-opening program that will reveal how astute and image-conscious early presidents have been,” said Garrera.

Admission is FREE to members of the Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum, $6.00 for nonmember adults, and $3.00 for non-member children. The exhibit opens at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 19th and remains on display through June 19th during regular Museum hours, Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 12 noon to 4 p.m.

The Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum is a teaching institution that attracts a diverse audience. Its collections of historical Americana include over 30,000 three-dimensional objects, 3 million documents and more than 70,000 vintage photographs. The Museum is located at 432 W. Walnut Street in Allentown. Parking is available in the rear of the Museum, on the street, and in nearby lots.

Regular Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00 Noon to 4:00 p.m. For more information, contact Joe Garrera at 484-553-2592 (cell) or at 610-435-1074. Visit www. lehighvalleyheritagemuseum. org or join us on Facebook.

New ordinance for Moore Township residents

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Thursday Feb. 10 at 6:30 the Moore Township Supervisors held their re-scheduled regular monthly meeting. The Supervisors approved minutes from December and January, paid the bills, approved payroll and financial statements.

Lee Goldstein, from the Rte. 512 Industrial Park Lot 5 received approval for continued work on the site. The shopping center on 512 currently houses one tenant, with construction and plans for a second tenant this spring. Solicitor Backenstoe recognized David Goldstein for his professionalism and diligence while working with the Township.

A snowplow within the township broke in a snowstorm earlier this year, the Supervisors approved purchase of a new one for $8968.

Sterling Laubauch from the Rec. Commission reported that there will be three softball tournaments in the township this year. He also noted that cleaning of the fields will have to wait until at least March because the fields are still snow and ice covered.

Once open to the floor, the Supervisors heard from township resident Ed Keller.

He questioned the need for two water coolers on the township building site, in reference to saving the township money. It was discussed

and decided that it is more cost effective to maintain the current water coolers rather than install a new water fountain.

A Special Meeting was held at 7 p.m. last Thursday for the Zoning Ordinance re-write.

With the direction and help of Stacey Yoder and Judith Goldstein, a team consisting of Dave Tashner, Dave Frey, Judith Rodwin, Jason Harhart, John Becker, the Moore Township Planning Commission and Mr. Backenstoe have worked since 2008 to update the Township’s Ordinance book, which has been the same since 1980.

The new ordinance is a result of townships in the Nazareth Area working to become "generally consistent" with the Nazareth 2030 Comprehensive Plan. When explaining the ordinance, Judith Goldstein expressed that the term "generally consistent" means that the ordinance should be in tune with what other townships in the county are doing. This includes defining solar and wind usage among other changes.

The vision of the 2030 plan as printed in the 2007 Annual Report by the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission is to "replace the current scattered pattern of new development with a more deliber-

solar farm at the elementary school. The solar project she was referring to has not yet been submitted so the new ordinance will govern when it is submitted. Other projects submitted before the new ordinance will not be affected.

Edwin Keller of Copella, Moore Township raised several questions including minimum sizes of facilities for agriculture and residential use.

The new ordinance would not affect a homeowners‘ ability to sell home-grown produce at a roadside stand Continued on page 8

as the minimum size requirements apply to agriculture use only. A question about minimum dwelling floor area was discussed, the ordinance was in place since 1980 and is in place to ensure the health, welfare and safety of township residents. Mr. Keller also questioned the signs section of the ordinance. This section, as described by Ms. Goldstein is to protect the residents from potentially dangerous signs that may have rusted or be falling apart.

After all questions and comments were heard from the audience, the Supervisors voted to approve the Ordinance and review all questions that were posed at the meeting. It was agreed that if necessary, amendments could be made.

The new ordinance books are available for sale at the Township building for $40.

Looking Back

By ED PANY Curator, Atlas Cement Memorial Museum

Raymond Houser

Dedicated Chemist Retired in 1975 A few years ago, I wrote a story about the late Mr. Raymond F. Houser, father of my good friend Marjorie Rehrig.

In 1975 Mr. Houser retired after 50 years and four months with Penn-Dixie Industries.

He retired as manager of physical testing at the PennDixie Cement plants. Marjorie has donated a number of her father’s inventory to the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum in Northampton.

Mr. Houser started his career with Penn-Dixie as a sample boy or laboratory assistant with the old Pennsylvania Cement Co. in 1924.

In the years following he worked his way up the ladder performing all jobs in the laboratory. He was named chief chemist at Plant #6, Bath on Dec 1, 1953. When the plant shut down Raymond became chief chemist at Plant # 4 in Nazareth.

In addition, he was also called upon many times to travel to other Penn-Dixie plants, assisting chemists in their related work. For more than a dozen years, he was active in first aid and safety work and the fellows called him “Doc” Houser.

When I spoke to Mr. Houser, he related how the PennDixie won the contract to produce the cement to construct the system carrying water from the Catskill’s to New York City. In order to gain

When he retired his responsibilities encompassed seven plants in Nazareth, Kingsport and Richard City, Tenn., Howes Cave, N.Y.; West Des Moines, Iowa and West Winfield, PA. Amazingly, Mr. Houser spent years studying, observing and reading every cement chemistry book he could find.

He was a self-taught chemist knowing and interviewing such a fine gentleman was a great pleasure.

Tepes water, road discussion Only items for Allen board

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

An associate of township engineer, Brien Kocher, noted two items that members of the Allen Township Board of Supervisors discussed at their meeting on Thursday night.

One was the booster pump station and a water main for the Louis Tepes housing development. The officials decided to let Tepes and the Northampton Boro Municipal Authority work out the problem.

A proposed alignment of the Granger Rd. & Indian Rd. intersection was dropped, after the engineer told of all the expensive preliminary work that would be involved just to make it easier for school buses with wide wheel bases to turn there. They decided not

to do anything, but to send a letter to PPL to replace a utility pole Although the Bethlehem Municipal Authority was on the agenda for a continuing discussion regarding water service to areas of the township, including East Allen Gardens, the BMA was not yet ready to detail their plans.

It will come later.

Resolution Passed The board passed a resolution for appointment of a certified public accountant in regard to the 2010 audit.

Supervisor Bruce Frank said the road crew did “a wonderful job” of snow plowing on township roads, saying that there was “a world of difference” between the township and other nearby areas.

The next meeting will be Tuesday, Feb. 22.

Beginning on Monday, Feb. 28, Lehigh Elementary School will participate in numerous activities as Read Across America Week is observed.
