Dumpster ordinance tabled As questions raised at Council By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Bath Borough Council was ready on Monday, July 2 to adopt an ordinance amending a chapter of the borough code on regulating dumpsters. But a flurry of questions from four persons – two businessmen and two representing organizations with social clubs – stopped Council. The ordinance was tabled and will NICK TRAGO gave up his long hair of 20 years to barber Tara be discussed at a continued Tordonato.

School board learns value Of farmland preservation

Northampton Area School Board members, and the visiting public, on Monday night heard a presentation on farmland preservation and how it is more cost effective to the municipalities, school districts and county over development for housing. Also part of the meeting was an explanation on the highly regulated process the district will need to go through with the Pa. Dept. of Education over the coming weeks in regard to the construction of a new middle school. Mrs. Maria Bentzoni, director of the Northampton County Farmland Preservation Board, explained about conservation easements and offered reasons for preserving farmland. She said four square miles of farmland and open space is lost each year to development. She explained the difference between Act 319/515 and Act 4. The former adjusts taxes on land, but the owner can still de-

increases, and the land is forever committed to open space. Mrs. Bentzoni’s presentation was an effort to convince the school district to adopt Act 4. Only Nazareth and Northampton school districts have not in Northampton County, and to do so would mean fiscal benefits, for preserving farmland today, saves money tomorrow, she said. It costs the school district an estimated $14,560 to educate a student, while revenue per student is only $8,398. She said the impact for 125 acres of farmland per student would only be $41.45. While the school board had questions, persons in the audience were heard as well, both for and against the program. Mike Meyers of Lehigh Township asked what happens if land is preserved as a farm, and his children later don’t want to farm it. Mrs. Bentzoni said there are farmers who would use it. She said the program is 100% voluntary, and if land is chosen for preservation, it carries on for future generations. David Tashner, chairman of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors, said he’d rather see farmland than have the impact of subdivisions from stormwater issues, roads, and other long-term maintenance costs. “Ultimately, it is a saving to the school district to have the Continued on page 2

remodeling. Then he wanted to know if it is the tenant or the landlord who is responsible for the dumpster. Answer, the landlord. Are garbage cans part of the ordinance? No, only dumpsters. Emmanuel Mirabito, owner of My Place Pizza Restaurant, said that landowners should be responsible for what the tenant does. ------------------------------

“Are we having garbage gestapos to regulate us?” Manny Mirabito, My Place Pizza Restaurant -----------------------------He asked how many sides must the dumpster be screened to hide it from view. Three or more is listed in the ordinance. Does the law require a building permit to put a structure such as a fence

around the dumpster? No, a permit is only required for the dumpster. Lids must be closed and locked so that garbage can’t be seen or allowed to fly around. Mirabito said the new rules will be costly to merchants who have dumpsters, when all they want to do is keep them clean. “Are we having garbage gestapos to regulate us?” he asked. He said he can’t be going out very early in the morning to check on dumpsters when working late at night. Jim Pasquariello of the Bath Fire Co. Social Hall said as the law is written, cars can’t park in front of the dumpster. If the owners have a hardship with how they have to handle their dumpster, Council said they would have to prove it.

Moore Township buying Leaf collection trailer

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Promising not to wait until the last leaves fall, the Moore Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, July 3 voted to lease purchase a leaf collection trailer. Chairman David Tashner said it is one step in making the collection more efficient. The township does not pick up leaves by streets, but by districts, and will place ads in the paper when and where the leaf collections will be held in the fall. At the end of three years, the self-contained trailer with a capacity of 25 yards will be purchased for $34,014. Other Matters • A lot line adjustment was on the agenda for Zion Wesleyan Church, but at the meeting it was revealed that the Moore Township Planning Commission found that the plans can’t go forward at this time. The church will have to go back to the planning board since they need 24 feet of land. The church spokesman said under the township’s subdivision and land development ordinance they wouldn’t have to, but Tashner said they would, under state rules. Zion Wesleyan’s planning module and the lot line adjustment will go to the MTPC in August. Blue Star Quick Stop at

Klecknersville requested an extension of time to July 1, 2013 and it was approved. The Eagle Point subdivision deed of dedication was approved by resolution. Two other plans have been granted an extension in time to Sept. 30, and will be brought before the supervisors in August. • Glenn Shoemaker, for the Environmental Advisory Committee, said that the recent recycling drive was a success, bringing in 49,230 lbs. of electronics and 9,480 lbs. of air conditioners, dehumidifiers and refrigerators. The next annual collection in the township will be on June 8, 2013, and the board granted

$500 to advertise it. Shoemaker complimented the supervisors for their recent special meeting, particularly with how they made a decision regarding the Schiavone property. It was announced that on July 9 the farmland preservation committee would discuss Act 4 with the Northampton Area School Board. Act 4 will be retroactive to the farms that have been purchased. • Under recreation, engineer Al Kortze said he would attend a meeting on July 6 concerning the five-year comprehensive plan.

Hahn Supports Budget Legislation State Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Northampton) voted lat Thursday in favor of Senate Bill 1466, the general appropriations portion of the state budget, which now moves to the state Senate for concurrence. The bill contains no new taxes and spends $27.7 billion, an increase of $370 million over last year, which is within the rate of inflation. Hahn issued the following statement upon passage of the legislation: “The legislation we moved to the Senate today calls for a responsible spending plan, one which reflects state government living within its means. It will be accomplished on time without reliance on Pennsylvanians in the form of a tax increase. It also points us in the right direction by spending less than 2008-09, the last fiscal year impacted by stimulus dollars. “This budget will support one of the core functions of government – education. Schools throughout Pennsylvania, including those in the 138th Legislative District, are funded above 2011-12 levels. Higher education is also level funded for the coming year. “House Republicans fought for and succeeded in significantly addressing the 20 percent

Thunderstorm we had the other night kinda changed things, with less heat and humidity. Didn’t hear of power being cut off here, but it was in some places as the storm knocked down some branches and power lines. It’s been so dry lately that any rain that came with the storm was absorbed. . . . Phillies fans that went on an East Allen Township trip saw the same kind of game the team has been playing all season, so it was another loss. Chuck Frantz is a Yankees fan, but I hear he sympathized with his bus load of Phillies die-hards. Reckon the players can use a rest over the all-star game break. . . .I hear everybody had a good time at the Republican Club fund-raiser to get money for wigs so that children who lost their hair will feel better. It sure was hot though. . . . Looks like the gazebo project is coming along pretty good down at Keystone Park. . . .Congrats to the kids who won another state championship in sporting clay shooting. John Meyers is one of their instructors and does a fine job. . . . I mentioned last week about the Catholic church picnic and Northampton’s community days at almost the same time. Then I saw in

last week’s paer that the UCC church up Moorestown way is gonna have a blueberry festival also on Saturday night. Reckon I’ll hafta make sure the old Essex is ready to take Elmira and Pete for a visit at all three places on Saturday, while keeping an eye on the speed so we don’t get a ticket. . . . I see the pizza restaurant over on Northampton Street has re-opened under new ownership or management. . . . Boy, that was a long list of kids on the senior high honor roll. Hats off to all those who made it for all their hard work and studies. . . . This Monday, July 9th was the 67th anniversary of Bath’s flood when a cloudburst hit town. It left a muddy mess and one child drowned. Earl Spengler’s barbershop, now the parking lot for the building that was the Bath Hotel, drifted across the street. . . . Took notice that stop lines were pushed back a few feet at some local intersections, no doubt to keep cars back when tractor-trailers make their wide turns. . . . Ye Ed tells me the junior conservation school in the county gets started on Sunday, the 15th. They still could use a few more boys and girls, aged 14 through 17, as student campers. Doesn’t cost ‘em anything,

and they’ll get a heck of a lot out of it, he says. . . . Hear tell that a gal who lives down at Alexandria Manor, name of Catherine Neidt, will be celebrating her 100th birthday come next week. . . .If you haven’t yet picked up one of those brochures about Bath, look for ‘em in local stores.

The GFWC PA Nazareth Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club recently ended the 2011-12 club year with an installation of officer for the 2012-2014 administration. Marianne Prestifilippo, a past president, installed these officers: Mary Weiss, president; Hildegard Kurt, vice president; Susan Kresge, recording secretary; Martha Galloway, corresponding secretary, and June Waha, treasurer. The club has awarded a $600 scholarship to Katie Fritchman and a $100 award went to Emily Triano for outstanding achievement in the cosmetology program at Career Institute of Technology. Chairman of the awards selection committee was Hildegard Kurt. Through the efforts of members and friends of the club, $688 was raised at the recent card party. It was given to the Memorial Library of Nazareth & Vicinity. Chairman of that event was Mary Jane Long. The club received two awards at the annual state convention for its work in the Blue Bears Project and for Operation Smile. Members made a total of 26 stuffed flannel bears, which were donated to the Nazareth Ambulance Corps to be given to children in crisis situations. Operation Smile has been a project of the club the past 15 years. Members made hospital gowns, dolls, quilts, and other items and donated personal care items, small toys and creative learning materials for children undergoing surgery to correct facial deformities. Marian Smith also received a first place award in the state arts and crafts contest for her three-strand beaded bracelet. Chairman Marie Morman

The Barn Owl is one of the most beautiful and beneficial members of the bird world. A single family of Barn Owls can consume over 3,000 rodents per year! Unfortunately, loss of pastures and grasslands have resulted in a severe decline of Barn Owl populations in eastern Pennsylvania. However, land preservation, creation of grassland habitat and nest boxes have helped local populations. Join Dan Mummert of the Pennsylvania Game Commission as we visit an active Barn Owl site and band the young. Program limited to 25 participants. Great opportunity for photographers!

Bath is the top seed in the post-season with an 18 and 3 won/loss record, Nazareth No. 2, at 17 and 4. Bath beat Nazareth 9-3 and Nazareth Legion ended the regular season with four losses. Friday's game at Lehigh Twp. was canceled due to the lack of interest with the Lehigh playoffs.

Nazareth Legion beat Freemansburg 1-0 in game one Monday night of the first round playoff in the best 2 out of 3 series! Game 2 was played Tuesday night in Freemansburg. Rounding out regular season play, on Thursday, July 5, Bath beat Kemp, 13-4. Pat Donnelly was the winning pitcher, giving up only six hits. Ryan Brong went 2-for-3 at the plate and Robert Bertoletti, 2-for-4. Bath’s record at that point was 18 wins and three losses. In earlier action, Bath and Lehigh Township split a double header, both winning by scores of 9-1. In the first game, won by Lehigh Twsp., Nate Fritzinger went 3-for-3 and collected two RBIs, while Kyle Wasikowski was the winning pitcher. Donnelly had 2-for2 for Bath. The second game went to Bath as Brong went 2-for-4 with three RBIs, Jim Sawyer 2-for-3 with two RBIs, Pete Deland 2-for-3, and Jake Tone 2-for-4 with a team total of 11 hits. Robert Bertoletti was the winning pitcher for Bath.

Bath beat Northampton, 9-6, as Jake Tone hit a two-run homer in the 6th inning following a six-run 5th inning by the locals. Tone had two hits and three RBIs. Ryan Santoro had two hits and scored a pair of runs, with Bath getting 11 hits altogether. On the losing side, Phil Schmidt went 2-for3 and Brandon Heimbach had two hits and a RBI for Northampton. Nazareth also split a double header with Northampton, winning the first game 9-6 and losing the second 6-4. In the first game, Brett Hallman had three RBIs and Mike Garzillo, Derek Charlie and Dan Horvat all had two hits for Nazareth, while Brandon Heimbach had three and Dane Hooven two for Northampton. In the second game, Zac Edwards had two hits and a pair of RBIs for Northampton, while Brett Hallman hit two safeties for Nazareth.

Wildlife Conservation Education Specialist, Pennsylvania Game Commission

Today, the bald eagle is thriving in Pennsylvania. Its population in Pennsylvania hasn’t been stronger in more than a century. As recently as 30 years ago, the population was three pairs, today the number is up to 206. That number that is expected to increase as nesting reports are submitted. In Northampton County reports are suggesting 6 pairs. The Game Commission currently classifies the bald eagle as a threatened species in Pennsylvania. They were removed from the federal endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2007, because delisting goals had been achieved. For more information, check out the Game Commission’s “Bald Eagle Watching in Pennsylvania,” www.pgc. state.pa.us On this page, you

will find “Bald Eagle Nest Etiquette” tips, as well as information on where-to-go to see bald eagles in every region of the state and other helpful tips.

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Bath Republican Club Helps Wigs for Kids By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Members and friends of the Bath Republican Club had a fund-raising jubilee on Saturday that aids Wigs for Kids, an organization which does much to help children who have been afflicted with cancer, other diseases or burns that have left them without hair. It was probably the hottest day of the year, but there was a good crowd on hand at the outdoor event. Featured were games for children and adults, haircutting, a Chinese auction and raffles, grilled hot dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, plus music to serenade everyone under the hot sun. Organizing the jubilee fund-raiser was Ashley Giordano, who tends bar at the club, but who also has been a sparkplug in running many events that help the club or charities. Said one club mem-

ber about Ashley: “Without her, we’d never have anything down here.” Many of the volunteers at the event on Saturday have lost loved ones to cancer, and so they were deeply sympathetic to the children who they were helping. One man whose father had liver cancer said he visited him for 12 weeks straight, and the only day he missed is the day his father died, something he regrets every day. Ashley thanked these businesses who contributed items for their raffle: PC Beverage, Lucky Strikes, Effort Foundry, and Jackpot Amusements. She also thanked the club members who turned out and helped; Bill Wilson, for providing the fan mist that helped cool people with fine mists of water, and DJ “Soundtrax” for entertaining with his music. Rounding out the day was a “boat” race down the Mono-

cacy Creek. The waters were low, and rocks were clearly visible. And so the “boats” of red Solo plastic cups and duct tape went slowly. Ashley reported that 18 people paid $10 each to float their specimen. Tara Tordonato cut ponytails from those who volunteered to lose their locks. Nick Trago was one of those who lost his long hair of 20 years. Ashley hoped to beat last year’s record of 10 haircuts.

Know The Weather

One of the influences on the weather is volcanic activity. A major eruption in Iceland in the seventies produced a cloud of ash, dust and carbon dioxide and abnormal weather a thousand miles away. The greatest effect on the weather caused by the volcano occurred in the 19th century. A huge eruption spewed so much ash and dust and gas into the atmosphere that crops throughout the world were stunted. In the northeastern U.S., including Pennsylvania, snow fell in June and July in 1816. In Europe, from England to the Balkans, farmers were ruined; there was no summer. The shortage of grain and food crops caused a recession; food prices skyrocketed. The U.S. recovered the next year but Europe suffered from the effects for three years. It’s estimated that the ancient eruption of Vesuvius sent winds containing hot ash and deadly gas across the countryside at 60 to 120 M.P.H., which caused much of the resulting death.

Financial aid given to local Family who had house fire By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

A Moore Township family who lost their home in a fire Thursday, June 28, were given a check this past Saturday from a fund raised by a chapter of motorcyclists, all of whom are firefighters. The Fire Victims Fund has

been started by Chapter 18 of the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club, located in Lehighton. There are chapters in 15 countries, and 30 chapters in Pennsylvania – all firemen. A contingent of riders from the club, led by their president, Darin Weidner, made their way to the fire scene at 3101 Beersville Rd., Bath, at noon on Saturday. After Weidner made some remarks and presented the check, the riders and members of the victims’ family went to Weidner’s home for a luncheon. In accepting the check, Mrs. Metz said, “It means so much to us that people care.” She added,“Neighbors

see you working in the yard, and they come over to help.” One of those neighbors, John Reed, saved the family’s two dogs from the fire. “It would have been even more devastating,” Mrs. Metz said “if we had lost our dogs.” The fire is believed to have started in a ceiling fan, daughters Aurora, Athena, and Allezondra Metz said. Weidner, who resides at 3308 Pheasant Dr., Northampton, is a member of the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. of Moore Township. He had submitted an application for the stricken family to receive some help from the Red Knights fire victims fund, and the board approved. The victims qualified for help, and they were glad to give it. This was their first fire victim presentation, Weidner said. They usually raise funds Continued on page 13

Kazoo parade highlight of July 4th Nazareth celebration By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The buzzing you heard on July 4th was from the men, women and children who participated in the eighth annual kazoo parade in the Borough of Nazareth. Their kazoos made music, the kind that sent chills of patriotism and pride through everyone who attended. Once again, the parade was organized by the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce. Starting near the senior high school, the marchers wound their way through the streets of Nazareth until they reached borough council building, where there was more music in the form of singing patriotic songs. After the Chamber president introduced Council president Dan Chiavaroli, he in turn introduced State Representatives Joe Emerick and Marcia Hahn, who told what Independence Day means to them. Grand marshal for the parade was Abbe “Miss G” Graber of Woodstock, N.Y. She has her own kazoo business and brought many of them to Nazareth to sell. She presented a photo to Tina Smith of the Chamber, and then sang “God Bless America” and her blues version of “Summertime”. She told the audience as they gathered

on the spacious lawn in front of the borough building: “We have the freedom to celebrate in so many ways. Being able to be here and celebrate in this way is amazing, and we owe our gratitude to the soldiers who have made this freedom possible. Nazareth, I love you all.” The Dream Kids, a group of 19 young people who regularly donate their time and talents to Dream Come True, sang “The Grand Old Flag,” “America the Beautiful,”“We Are Americans and We Chose Love,” while Jared Kelly of the American Idol sang, “I’m Proud to be an American.” Guest speaker for the program was a Nazareth dentist who told how his parents immigrated to America 35 years ago, had little money, but worked hard for what they and their family have today. He told about his experiences in the military, joining just days before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He said things changed since then, and he encouraged young people to join the military for their own experience. “The men and women in the military have sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy,” he said. What he found, he said, is “integrity, service before self, and excellence in all you do.” He remarked, “Enjoy the positives in life. Enjoy free-

dom. There’s no better place to be than here.” The program concluded as veterans in attendance were saluted, while songs of all the armed forces were played, and people waved their American flags.

THE HOME NEWS

God Looks at the Heart “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” I Samuel 16:7a When my oldest son was a senior in high school, he enlisted in the United States Army; and I supported his decision. After he had met with the Army recruiter, we talked about their conversation, and I asked him what field he would follow in the Army. My heart sank when he said he would be working with all types of explosives and land mines. My son was not the most coordinated fellow, and I was envisioning frightening possibilities. He must have seen my rising panic, because he said “Relax, Mom, this is what I want to do.” A long time ago God decided to choose a new king to replace King Saul. The prophet Samuel was told by God to select a son from Jesse’s family. When Samuel saw Jesse’s son, Eliab, he thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed stands here before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things as man does. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” What a good reminder that is for each of us, especially since our society pays homage to those who are the most handsome, those who are the richest, those who have the most athletic skills, those who are have the most power and influence. We become conditioned to look at the outward appearance and pass by a person’s inner quality that is often more meaningful and realistic. My son did very well as he worked to master the intricacies of the explosives and land mines he studied. He did so well that he became an explosives instructor himself until he returned to civilian life. It is a lesson that came home to me to always consider that there is more to each person than we may see by his or her outward appearance or even their actions. Let this be a reminder for each of us to always follow God’s example, and “look at the heart.”

owner also faces a liability if a garbage man falls before the business is open, trying to get to an open door for the dumpster. Mirabito said there are too many laws like this that are unnecessary. Councilwoman Jennifer George said Bath is behind the times and should have an ordinance such as other municipalities do to keep the community neat and clean. Mirabito sees it as creating a lot of issues. Paul Haldaman, representing the American Legion Home Association, said they would encounter the same problem as Mirabito. He called it “bizarre” when people are already using common sense. Mirabito and Haldaman are both former Bath Councilmen.

Much other business comes Before Bath Borough Council By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Although dumpsters and police protection were controversial issues, Bath Borough Council at its July 2 meeting had a long list of other things to deal with, brought to them by Borough Manager Tom Petrucci. A proposed traffic signal maintenance contract was among them, with Petrucci getting bids from Telco of Reading and Signal Services of West Chester. They would clean and service the traffic signals. No decision was made on this, but Betty Fields noted that there is disparity in the timing of the signals, especially on Northampton St. where it is 17 seconds, giving little time for cars to get through. On Walnut St. it is much longer. Petrucci will ask PennDOT about better synchronizing. Petrucci said the borough has received $1,900 in payment following a recent accident when a portion of a new fence at Monocacy Creek Park was torn out by a 1999 Ford Mustang. It will be replaced. One quote of $1,100 was received on cutting down dead trees at 224 W. Main St., Cowling Field and Keystone Park, but two more will be requested. Council approved a Bath Business & Community Partnership request to move Community Day from Ciff Cowling Park to Keystone Park on Oct. 6 this year. Councilwoman Heckman said the event is being scaled back because of the Bath anniversary. In regard to the anniversary, those who said they will participate in the parade were Mayor Don Wunderler, Petrucci, and Councilpersons John Kearns, Mike Reph, Mark Saginario, Carol Heckman, Robert Fields and Kathryn Roberts. It was noted that the anniversary committee has raised $38,000 and another $8,000 is available if they need it for expenses. A plaque will be put on the Monocacy Creek Park clock, honoring the late Paul Kahler. He was

Small signs will be placed showing the plant life. Garlic mustard plans will be pulled out. Councilman Kerns reported the gazebo project at Keystone Park is coming along fine, with a foundation in, and woodwork to start soon. Mrs. Roberts said the farmers market is presently struggling in the heat with low attendance. Roller-impacted concrete was recently observed by members of Council and the Mayor. It could be used in alleys. A road condition survey will be done by Petrucci and engineer Ryan Christman. Kearns also suggested cracks in borough roads should be sealed with tar, and Petrucci said he will consult with East Allen and Moore townships about that process. Mrs. Heckman, Mrs. George and Reph will confer on the Northampton County open space initiative as it applies to Bath. Mayor Wunderler provided an extensive list of events that he attended in June as he carried out his official duties.

At long last something Happening with pavilion

It has been many months since flood waters destroyed the Keystone Park pavilion and tore up its adjoining parking lot following a summer storm. At Bath Borough Council meeting on Monday, July 2, Borough Manager Tom Petrucci had good news. FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) has agreed to give Bath $39,600 for demolition of the pavilion and replacement of the concrete slab floor, another $2,800 for a traffic control that was damaged, $1,700 for street barriers, and $80,000 in phases so that a pre-fab pavilion can be put in place. The money will also be used to

July 12-18, 2012

check and clean the pipes that were clogged from the Keystone Rod & Gun Club that caused the overflowing waters to rip into the pavilion and parking lot. While he cautioned that he will believe it when he sees it, Petrucci feels that finally something positive will come out of that disaster. Council President Robert Fields also noted that a plaque on the pavilion noting that it was built with funds from Bath’s anniversary celebration in 1962 needs to be saved.

Another Topic Colonial Regional Police cov-

erage in the borough is another subject that will be brought up at the continued meeting. The borough has received a quote from the Moore Township Police Department. They will ask CRPD Chief Roy Seiple to attend the meeting August 6 to tell how Bath is protected, when so much of its services are needed in other jurisdictions they cover. Council president Robert Fields said that CRPD has an annual report that lists numbers and kinds of violations the department handles. Councilwoman Kathryn Roberts said she surveyed traffic on W. Main St. and observed high speeding by trucks, when there is a day care center nearby. While she noted vehicles going 70 to 80 MPH going west up the hill, others on Council discounted that as being possible. Councilman Mark Saginario does believe that CRPD, while good on drug enforcement, is lacking in traffic enforcement. Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman agreed that there needs to be a better check on traffic.

Bath’s first borough manager for more than 20 years, also serving as treasurer. A street light along Old Forge Drive will be repaired, with a trench dug by the borough and then the wiring in a conduit, and the light to be replaced by a professional business. Further coordination will be made with the Planning Commission on an alternative energy ordinance, dumpster screening, and parking overlay district. The borough is getting $50,000 for a new dump truck and Council wants to add a highway sealer with the money coming from the Northampton County Gaming Revenue and Economic Redevelopment Authority grant. New playground equipment will be ordered by Councilman George from $8,250 provided by a Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce grant through Sharon Davis. Located at the western end of Keystone Park, the equipment will cost $8,140 plus $900 shipping from Georgia. The project has to be completed by September 12. Two trees have been planted by the borough at Carl Rehrig Park and a memorial ceremony was scheduled for 10:00 a.m. today with members of the Bath Lions Club and borough officials. Another tree that was lost at the A-Plus has been replaced. They will be watered during the current heat spell. A check for $250 has been received for the Regional Shelter All bus shelter at Rt. 987 & Creek Rd. Saginario reported loitering at the W. Northampton St. parking lot, and lighting will be improved. Mrs. Heckman reported that the BBCP will have its annual duck race on July 27. She also read passages from historian Asa K. McIlhaney’s book, “Bath and Its Environs,” this one telling of an Italian-American celebration. Members of Council and Petrucci met with a representative of Wildlands Conservancy at Keystone Park, looking over the vegetation.

Rt. 946 bridge In Moore Twsp. Has been finished

PennDOT has announced the replacement of the Rt. 946 / Mountain View Dr. bridge over Hokendauqua Creek in Moore Township is complete, approximately five months early. The project began on January 2 and was scheduled to be completed in November. It involved replacing the old structurally deficient concrete T-beam bridge with a new concrete box beam bridge. During construction, Rt. 946 / Mountain View Drive was closed and traffic was detoured between Hokendauqua and Valley View Drives. Grace Industries of Bath (East Allen Township) was the general contractor on the $1,118,500 project. The former bridge was constructed in 1932 and was 35 feet long and 26 feet wide. The new bridge is 37 feet long and 32 feet wide. Rt. 946 / Mountain View Drive has an average daily traffic of 2,753 vehicles.

A $7,000 check was received from the Moore Township Athletic Association from their spring sporting events. • Kortze recommended a 30 MPH speed limit for Beacon Rd., with a 15 MPH limit at a portion with sharp curves. Edwin Keller wanted 30 MPH on Bushkill Drive and offered to pay for the signs. His request will be forwarded to PennDOT. Tashner commented that the downside for gravel and paved roads, when they are improved, is that people speed more. They drive according to the condition of the roads, he said. A resident also said people ignore stop signs. Tashner said it is a national problem. “People take risks.” Fourteen segments of roads were not listed for liquid fuels funds. They will be submitted to the state before September. Keller told the board that the public should be able to see the meeting minutes before they are approved. Copies are available afterward on request. The fire and ambulance report was not available, and Tashner noted that under the second class township code the fire company is obligated to submit them monthly. The police report for June showed 303 total incidents; 40 warning / verbal and written notices; 56 traffic citations issued; 7 arrests (2 DUI, 1 citation for dog at large, 1 for confinement of dog, 1 disorderly conduct, and 1 unauthorized use of a motor vehicle); 2 reportable accidents and 4 non-reportable.

The Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) and Bath Borough are partnering with local contractors, vendors and volunteers to complete erection of a gazebo and restroom building at Keystone Park. As reported last month, a goal of the BBCP has been to one day bring a gazebo and updated rest rooms to Keystone Park. In 2011 we developed a plan to fund the gazebo spread out over three years. In September, 2011, a devastating flash flood destroyed the existing pavilion, storage building and restroom in Keystone Park and necessitated an acceleration of our three year plan. Reaching out to the community, we have achieved an unbelievable amount of support in the form of donations of professional engineering, design and site planning, materials and funding. This generous outpouring has enabled us to acquire everything we need to erect the gazebo this year. In June the Bath Public Works

Department and Bath Borough Authority opened the ground for pipes and initial site preparation. A J Trunzo, Inc., and owners Steven, Anthony and Paul Trunzo, have enabled their employee, Andrew Decker, to utilize their equipment and material towards completion of another phase in the gazebo construction. Andrew Decker , his young son, Kurt, and fellow Trunzo employees Bobby Ricci and Jerry Wotring devoted many volunteer hours to pour the footers and erect the forms for the walls. Next comes the framing of the building. We have commitments from local carpenters to supervise this phase and assist our volunteer builders with construction. We will hold old fashioned “gazebo raising” work days. All “volunteer” builders are welcome. Please contact Councilman John Kearns at 610-984-2761 or email at kearns501@rcn.com. Upon completion, the gazebo and Keystone Park will become the focal point for community

events. In addition to the Bath Farmers Market, which is held in the park every Friday from May through September, the Bath Community Day, held the first Saturday in October, will be moved to Keystone Park. In the future we plan to hold family friendly events such as movie nights. We have applied for additional grant funds for new playground equipment geared towards children ages 2 to 5. Bath Borough and the BBCP are participants in the Borough Business Revitalization Program (BBRP). The BBRP receives funding and support from the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce Main Street Lehigh Valley Foundation and Northampton County. The BBRP is a nationally accredited Main Street program, devoted to the revitalization of our traditional downtown.
