Winners of the Sharp Dressed Pet Contest (from left to right): Pudding the Pomeranian in third place; Riley the Goldendoodle motorcycle dog in second place; and Captain the Boxer mix in first place.
By SAVANNAH BROWN On Sunday, June 12, Paw Prints on the Canal celebrated its 13th year on Canal Street in Northampton. “This was our biggest year yet!” event organizer and proud volunteer/foster with the Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue Candi Lynn expressed. Although the annual event is “rain or shine,” the forecasted rain luckily held off for the festivities. This year marked the most vendors the event has ever had with 179 vendors in total, a big increase from the 35 vendors in 2009, the event’s inaugural year. Tail-wagging puppies and sleepy kittens in pens and crates were available for adoption from

Moravian Hall Square residents Go to the prom
Submitted by LIZ BRANDL It’s that time of year when local high school students around the Lehigh Valley attended their prom night. With big dresses, tuxedos, limos, and corsages they enjoyed a memorable night they can look back on for many years to come. At Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth, residents captured the same magic of prom night as they attended their own special prom event in the community.

bridges near canal in enemy hands, occupied positions, sniper fire, mortar fire throughout night, engage enemy, clear area.” June 16: “Mission to deploy anti-tank mines north of Villiers, pinned down, not able to withdraw” June 26: “Under heavy artillery fire, 100-600 yards distance, engaged FW190 (German aircraft). Cpl. Frank reports traces of 50 cal., shelled out of action, crew takes shelter, one within 35 yards! “Each day, the Battery was under fire by artillery, machine guns and attack from the German Luftwaffe, especially two aircraft, the ME109 and Focke-Wulf 190. The ME109 was designed by Willy Messerschmitt, first appearing before the beginning of World War II in 1938.” Germany was prohibited from building an Army, Navy or Air Force by the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I, but they ignored the treaty. The ME109 was the principal defender of Germany with a max speed of 40 mph, could reach a height of 35 miles. Fortunately, England’s Spitfire and the U.S.A.’s P-51 would be able to counter the ME109. “The combat continues: Shellburst at B-4. Private Kephart killed. Pvt. Slusarazyk, others wounded. Chaplain dispatched to spot engagement continues. Undergoing strafing, dive bombing (3 FW190s, 2 ME109s), engaged 40 minutes. ME109 hit, plane in flames, crashes, pilot leg broken” In November, “Capt. Capon and first Sgt. Wegnor left base to hear a speech from Lt. Gen. Patton.” A few days later, the unit moved in a convoy. It was suddenly stopped. Why the long delay, the men asked. The Germans attempted to infiltrate the convoy in U.S. Army uniforms. They spoke English and were difficult to detect. Late in November, the Army moved to occupy Metz, which was called the impregnable city. Heavy fighting cleared the city and a number of Sgt. Csencsitz’s battalion were awarded the French Croix de Guerre in impressive ceremonies.

As the Army moved closer to Germany, officers were given German classes to help them adjust when we entered the country. In two weeks, we will be in Luxembourg.

Letter to The Editor
The traffic on the corner of new Seemsville Road and Rt. 329 keeps getting heavier and heavier and most of the warehouses in the area are still not occupied. Fast forward to the warehouses being up and running: 800 tractor trailers (TT) a day (1600 trips in and out) proposed at the Jandl warehouse, 250 TT a day (500 trips) from the one behind ACE hardware, 250 TT a day (500 trips) from the one already built at Rt. 329 and Airport Road, and another under construction across the street. So far, we’re up to 2600 TT a day with still more coming. Now add the Fed-Ex trucks, the dump trucks hauling for Northampton Generating, and let’s not forget the school buses all traveling Seemsville Road. Bumper to bumper traffic now – what then? Tractor trailer accidents in the area have increased, retreads along our roads are surfacing, and traffic tie ups during certain hours are fact. When is enough, enough? And now, with all this information, the Northampton School Board voted 5-4 to build a new Elementary School on the corner of new Seemsville Road and Rt. 329, resulting in the possible closure of Moore Elementary School (located on Rt. 946) where there is little traffic and no nearby warehouses; then bus all those elementary children (ages 5 to 11) to other schools. Is this really keeping our students safe? Longer rides on the bus going now to very congested traffic areas. They are spending millions of taxpayer dollars at a time when gas is at an all-time high, the economy sucks, and some of our residents are still not back to working steady, still having problems paying for food, gas, and taxes. Do these school board members use any logic or common sense when making these decisions that affect the taxpayers? And how can PennDOT approve this school project when
the traffic on Rt. 329 was 125% capacity 20 years ago? Do they even know this area or are the approvals coming from Harrisburg? Who’s in charge at PennDOT, or are they just sleeping? I just cannot understand how they can approve building an elementary school at a location that is unsafe for children! Maggie Kemp, East Allen Township

Natural perspectives
For the health-minded individual
Why
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
W h a t is life all about? Does anyone know? I have an inkling that life is more than just trying to muddle through daylight. In fact, I assert that a life truly lived is one with purpose and passion. Prove me wrong. From what I have seen in others and felt in myself is that when you know the “why” of your life, you have a leg up on it. Many of us have no idea why we are doing what we are doing. It’s like many are just going through the
paces of life as if cast like an oarless boat on the ocean. Is this dramatic talk here? Maybe so, yet I am simply doing my best to shake the tree and wake up one or two out there. My father used to tell me he does what he does because he was the sole provider of a needy family. He worked hard and long. He was a good, good man, providing for his four boys. So sure, a paycheck is clearly paramount to providing for self and our dependents, yet our existence needs to be more than the shekels we make. Trading our limited time for money has to be balanced, otherwise we get burnt out, stressed and sick. Almost three decades ago I married my high school sweetheart. Plain and simple, she was and still is the “why” of my life. Fast forward throughout the

years and suddenly she gave birth to three more of my “whys.” The individuals that rise from their beds with intentional living are by and large healthier, happier and have more energy. Have you noticed that? I have and this has proven itself to me time and time again. I could go on and say that my “why” of life overall is based on my unabashed love for the Lord. He has marked on me His will for my existence, and by golly, I keep my ears open as I try and walk that out as best I can, clearly with an abundance of course corrections along the way. In my practice I try to get to the meat and potatoes of exactly why the person who is injured, suffering or struggling is really in my office today of all days. They may start out by saying, “Well I want to be pain free.” Maybe they say, “I want to walk better.” Everyone has this first layer of “why.” Often I press to ascertain the real “why” that’s underneath. Recently, digging deeper, a man told me he really doesn’t care about the pain, he just wants to be able to be the catcher for his softball slinging daughter. A grandmother’s “why” to improved health has little to do with self and everything to do with her grandbaby. An elderly wife caring for her elderly husband and vice versa is one I hear too often. When you take a quiet moment and truly consider the “why” or “whys” of your life and put them front and center as a priority once again, I am telling you magic happens. I have seen those who are struggling with anxiety and depression have many layers of healing occur as they work towards finding what life is really all about for them, their “why” of it all. There is power in what I am revealing here. When you are honest with yourself and truly latch onto the candid truth of why you do what you do in all the various areas of your life, I promise you will feel so calm and healthier. I think such reflection is worth the effort no matter where this week’s article finds you. My best to you.

Moore Township Supervisors discuss Culverts and snack Stand complaints By SAVANNAH BROWN The Moore Township Board of Supervisors met Tuesday, June 7 to discuss various projects throughout the township and complaints from residents. The board granted the Jason Kocher minor subdivision approval unanimously based on the conditions set in the revised plan dated May 19, 2022. The Moore Township Police Department reported a total of 266 incidents for the month of May, which included: Forty traffic citations, seven written/verbal warnings, five arrests made for receiving stolen property, simple assault, terroristic threats, possession of a small amount of marijuana and DUI, four non-traffic citations for public drunkenness, trespassing, burning ordinance violation and possession of an unlawful substance, and one reportable traffic crash. Additionally, the police department cannot proceed with the hiring of a part-time officer until they receive their applicant’s prior employment separation paperwork, which they hope to have by July’s meeting. For the month of April, the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company reported a total of 31 fire calls, which included: Six
fires, three motor vehicle accidents, four automatic fire alarms, five ambulance assists, seven mutual aid calls for various neighboring townships, four wires down, one odor investigation and one spill. In other news, the township discussed having their engineer update the SALDO road specs for the Public Works Department for new roads that are paved in the future. Currently, the township’s SALDO doesn’t support a 30-year road plan because it only requires two inches of stone under the road, which only lasts roughly 10 years. The updated road specs would allow the township to preserve roads and make them last longer. The board voted unanimously to approve Township Engineer Horvath to prepare specifications to amend the SALDO and Horvath said he would have recommendations to present to the board by the next meeting. Next, the supervisors discussed the First Regional Compost Authority’s township yard waste hours after receiving complaints from residents about only being open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays, and not be-

ing open on Sundays. Residents claim that it is hard to dump their yard waste during these times due to many individuals’ work schedules. However, Chairman of the FRCA, Richard Gable, voiced that these are the most liberal hours out of other local compost authorities and their Saturday hours are there for the individuals that cannot make it during the week, so the hours will stand. Since putting up cameras, the FRCA was able to catch someone dumping during closed hours and made the resident come back and pick up everything they dumped or face a fine for dumping illegally. The township is planning to look into updating the old ordinance to new specifications that will set fines for violators. Residents should be aware that illegal dumping will now be caught on camera and individuals will be found and fined. In other business, the board discussed complaints from residents regarding the cleanliness of the snack stands, who is responsible for cleaning them and how often they are being cleaned. Gable suggested the township look into a professional cleaning at least once a month or even every other week as opposed to once a year, so they can be easily maintained by snack stand volunteers. Supervisor Michael Tirrell Jr. stated he would look into pricing from a parent volunteer that previously gave him a quote to clean the
snack stand and what that quote covered. The township will also be looking into what other townships are doing to maintain their snack stands. Township Engineer Horvath provided a road plan update regarding the long-term road program presentation that Keystone made to the Board of Supervisors in terms of financing the township’s extensive road system, which would bring road conditions up to a higher standard and how the township can best use its resources. The township received a road grade of D+, but the board clarified that this is not a bad grade overall for the issues it has. Horvath stated that D+ roads are still highly functional roads that do not require full reconstruction since the roads have not degraded enough. The board identified that their goal for the roads is a C and that they plan to work up incrementally to achieve this goal. Next on the agenda, the board discussed the culverts on Church Road and East Walker Road that are in dire need of replacement. The culvert on Church Road has been closed for several months and the other has not been closed yet, but also needs attention. Engineer Horvath presented recommendations for both culverts and stated that East Walker Road would have a less complicated installation than Church Road due to it being a smaller road. Horvath recommended using a 73 by 55-inch aluminum corrugated arch pipe with a capacity of 142 CFS, which will
cost approximately $130,000 and includes an added guide rail. The alternative option would be an upgrade with significantly higher capacity at 190 CFS using a 72 by 72-inch concrete box culvert with a guide rail, which would serve as the road surface and would cost approximately $185,000. The upgraded option would add an additional 25+ years of longevity, with the cheaper option offering a 75year lifespan. The board would be looking at longevity versus cost when deciding which recommendation they want to go with. For the culvert on Church Road, Horvath recommended using concrete box culvert due to the high flow rates of the stream and higher capacity requirement. In addition, there is low cover over this pipe, which limits the options to a low and wider culvert. Church Road would require an 87 by 54-inch box culvert will cost approximately $170,000 for a structurally designed, corrugated rectangular box culvert that bolts together on site, which offers the low and wider opening with an upgraded capacity of 165 CFS and enables the option for a proper guide rail. The Board of Supervisors decided to move forward with the 87 by 55-inch concrete box culvert on Church Road at a cost of $170,000, but then amended their decision to put both culverts out to bid as one single project with the 73 by 55-inch aluminum corrugated arch pipe at a cost of $130,000, which they approved unanimously for a total cost of $300,000. In other business, the board unanimously approved the appointment of Ian Stout as the township’s alternate sewage enforcement officer. They also approved the CD renewal for 12 months with an .85% APR. Last, the board approved a motion to put Schiavone Farm out for sale pending the project’s completion and Township Manager Nicholas Steiner said he will be advertising it within the next week or two. An announcement was made regarding the next Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board meeting, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday, June 15, but is now rescheduled for Wednesday, July 6 at 6 p.m. in the Moore Elementary School multipurpose room, located at 2835 Mountain View Dr. The meeting will discuss the Water’s Edge at Wind Gap Industrial Development for Warehouse Use property proposal appeal of the determination of the Zoning Officer and challenges the substantive validity of various sections of the Township Zoning Ordinance. The next Moore Township Board of Supervisors regular monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 5 at 6 p.m. in the municipal building, located at 2491 Community Dr.

East Allen Township Supervisors Welcome summer Camp counselors
By SAVANNAH BROWN The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met Wednesday, June 8 to discuss various recommendations, including improvements to the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department facility. East Allen Township Recreation Director Chuck Frantz attended the meeting with five of the 13 summer camp counselors that were being recommended for hire. The annual camp will begin Monday, June 13 to Friday, July 29 for a total of seven weeks.
The counselors being hired consisted of seven returning counselors and five new counselors that attend colleges and universities all over the state, mostly in the field of education. This will be Lauren Lalik’s fourth year as a camp counselor, and she is returning as one of two head counselors during her summer break from Marywood University in Scranton where she is currently a junior studying Biology/Secondary Education with a minor in Chemistry. Ashley Rolles will be returning for her third year as a

camp counselor and will also be a co-head counselor this year while on break from East Stroudsburg University where she is currently a junior studying Communications Sciences and Disorders with a certificate in Death Education. Director Frantz stated that the camp will see many returning activities such as the Wildlands Conservancy coming to visit and the honeybee vendor, and this year they will see some new activities such as fingerprint identification with the PA State Police, who will also be doing forensics and safety classes. The camp currently has 105 sign-ups, but Frantz said they have been getting applications daily. He estimates that the total of attendees will be around 120 to 125, but the camp has room for 150 total students. The counselors have been working hard to prepare activities for the kids and are excited to have a fun summer with them. The board unanimously voted to approve the hire of all 13 camp counselors. In other business, the board discussed facility improvements at the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department, which includes fixing the cracks in the concrete floor and the steel framing that is lifting around the floor drain, as well as painting, cleaning and resurfacing the outside block of the fire house for a total of $42,015. The funds that would cover these repairs would come from previously budgeted funds that have not yet been used, so no additional funds would be required from the township. The board voted to approve the allocation of funds for the fire department’s facility repairs unanimously and thanked them for the hard work they do. Next, the board approved the three seasonal employees that were recommended for hire who have already started working for the township using funds previously budgeted. The Board of Supervisors also unanimously approved the promotion of Luis Figueroa from deputy to emergency management coordinator after his completion of necessary course certifications for the position. In other news, the board discussed the recommendation to consider a change order request for the 2022 Road Program after the contractor felt they needed an additional 4,000 square yards of leveling on the lower portion of Goldcrest Lane, and also additional quantities on Mountain View Drive and Mountain View Circle where the curb was removed since it originally went curb-to-curb and wasn’t included in previous calculations, adding an additional one to two feet plus the cost of materials. The amended amount would be a total of 4,469 square yards at the bid amount of $7.52 per square yard, which equals a total of $33,606.88. Township Manager Brent Green assured the board this will not result in any additional hardship costs for the township. Supervisors approved the ratifica-
tion unanimously. During staff reports, Manager Green reported that the Sunny Slope Farms major subdivision, located on Dogwood Road and Hanover Street, received final conditional approval and is waiting to get an extension after receiving recommendations from the planning commission, since their plans expire at the end of the month. The board chose to make a motion to conditionally reject the plans since an extension was not received based upon the outstanding items in the Hanover Engineering letter, which passed unanimously. East Allen EMS Board of Directors President Joe Light reported there were 53 dispatches for the month of May and that two EMTs were recently hired, which have been the first applicants in a while. During the Covid pandemic, East Allen EMS received a waiver to allow an uncertified driver to ride with one EMT during dispatches, but since the waiver will be expiring, they will be going back to requiring a minimum of two EMTs in each vehicle. Unfortunately, this

will mean two individuals will be laid off; however, one of the individuals is currently taking classes to become a certified EMT and will be hired back upon passing the required courses. Last, the East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department reported a total of 29 incidents for the month of May, with five fire calls, 11 rescue and EMS assist calls, two hazardous condition calls, one service call, one odor of smoke call, eight false alarm and false calls, and one special weather and natural disaster assessment. Fourteen of the incidents were in East Allen Township and 15 of the incidents were in surrounding areas with an average dispatch time of five minutes and 51 seconds. There will be a board workshop meeting on Thursday, June 23, a planning commission meeting on Thursday, July 7, and a monthly supervisors meeting on Wednesday, July 13, all at 7 p.m. in the township municipal building, located at 5344 Nor-Bath Blvd.

four-legged furry friends and their two-legged companions alike. From hand-painted signs reading “Dog is friendly, beware of owner,” soaps, candles, jewelry, household items, and pet kisses for humans, to hand-made baked treats, collars, leashes, bandanas, and blankets for spoiled pooches, vendors had something to offer everyone. Lynn stated that a lot of work went into organizing Paw Prints on the Canal this year, and that she is extremely thankful for her team of volunteers deemed Team Paw Prints. Lynn also added that she is very grateful for Northampton Borough for sponsoring the event, for the police, fire, and EMS departments and all of their help, for the volunteers that provide their time, and for the various donations they receive. Lynn expressed appreciation and gratitude, especially to the Stanglein Veterinary Clinic that donated their time and resources to the rabies vaccine and microchipping clinic that day and the animal CPR demonstration by the EMS department. For education and entertainment throughout the day, Paw Prints on the Canal had several demos such as the demo by Sergeant Michael Buchanan & Vito, the Allentown Dog Training demo, Passion 4 Paws dog training demo, and Dream Weavers agility demos. The event also had music and announcements provided by DJ P.K. and the beloved annual Sharp Dressed Pet Contest. Ten pups entered the Sharp Dressed Pet Contest with costumes ranging from a hot dog, birthday party dresses, prom attire, Hawaiian shirts and leis, sunglasses, cowboy hats, a pride month equality tutu, a breast cancer support outfit, a mom and doggy matching kilt set, and motorcycle attire complete with riding glasses as they strutted across the stage to “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred and struck a pose for judges and spectators. Six judges tallied their scores, and this year’s top three best dressed pets were Pudding the Pomeranian wearing her “Not a Cloud in the Sky” birthday dress in third place, Riley the Goldendoodle motorcycle dog, who has his own sidecar seat when riding with his dad in second place, and Captain the Boxer mix in his breast cancer awareness outfit in first place. Prizes were donated by Annamaet Petfoods. Funds were raised throughout the day from registration fees, the bake sale, the ice cream sale, raffle ticket sales, the microchip and rabies shot clinic, and donation jars, which will go to the Northampton Police Department’s K-9 Unit at the following month’s borough meeting. Additionally, Paw Prints on the Canal thanks the following businesses for their donations and support: Ace Miller Supply Hardware, Annamaet Petfoods,
FASTSIGNS, Harhart’s Gulf Service Station, J’s Steaks & Subs, Konkrete Creamery, Lawn Science, Northampton Seafood Market, and Tanczos Beverages, as well as the individuals and vendors that donated raffle baskets and baked goods. Lynn stated that her favorite part of the event every year is, “Seeing everyone have a good time, knowing that everyone is there to support our cause for the K-9 unit, and especially the police who are a very important aspect of our community.”
With the event increasing in size every year, many volunteers will also be needed for next year’s event. Interested animal enthusiasts can email pawprintsonthecanal@yahoo.com and more information can be found on the Paw Prints on the Canal Facebook page. Team Paw Prints is thankful for everyone that participated in and attended the event and looks forward to next year’s turnout on Sunday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Canal Street in Northampton.

What’s a father to do? stay there. And the list of services they can provide is long. Whether I need someone who can clean my house, make good meals for me, run errands and get me to appointments…they do it all. At first I resisted, because I didn’t like the idea of having someone I didn’t know coming into my home. But I realized it was worth a try and probably the only choice I had if I didn’t want my kids to make me move.
I don’t know about you, but I want to stay in my house for as long as I can. It’s the place I’ve called “home” for over 50 years. And even though my children really want me to move to an apartment to be with other people my age, I want to stay right here at home for as long as possible. I know they’re tired of shoveling my snow, cutting my grass and taking care of repairs around my home. I realize they have their own families, so I can’t expect them to want to manage my home, in addition to managing their own homes. I also know they worry about my health. Am I eating properly? Am I taking my medications properly? And what would happen to me if I fell at home and nobody was there to help me. So, what’s a father to do?
My daughter suggested I get a “caregiver” from Senior Solutions. This is a Lehigh Valley not-for-profit business that provides professionals who work with you in your home so you can
Getting to choose my personal caregiver was important to me. First I met with someone from Senior Solutions who developed a plan and schedule for the things I needed help with. Then, I was introduced to one of their caregivers. In the beginning I only needed about 5 hours of help each week with things like cleaning the house, laundry, making meals, getting to medical appointments and doing errands that needed to be done. And then, when COVID-19 happened, I didn’t want to leave my home to do my own grocery shopping or to pick up my prescriptions at the pharmacy. These were things I know my children would have found a way to help me with, but not without sacrificing things in their work and family lives. I’ve come to trust my personal caregiver with my life. It is like having a personal helper to assist me with anything I need. And it’s the solution that is going to keep me safe and secure in the place I want to be...my own home. And the best part?
My children are relieved and don’t worry about me being at home anymore.

Home Improvement Battle of the BBQ: Smokers Versus Grills simplest and most convenient option for cooking outdoors, a gas grill is definitely the way to go. Small electric grills are also an option, but they’re not as popular. Back in the day charcoal grills used to be the only game in town, and there are still some people who swear by their charcoal grill. Why? Flavor, mostly. A charcoal grill uses ready-made hardwood lump charcoal or briquettes under the cooking grill for a heat source. This delivers more smoky flavor to food, but long startup time is one drawback. It can take a charcoal grill 30 minutes to get as hot as a gas grill gets in 30 seconds. It’s also much easier to control the heat on a gas grill versus a charcoal grill.
Pros and Cons of Different Smokers

Familyhandyman.com You like the idea of cooking outdoors, but should you use a grill or a smoker? The differences come down to more than just taste.
Grill vs. Smoker: What’s the Difference?
Wave goodbye to Clutter. JUNKLUGGERS.COM | 1-800-584-5865
Grills are mostly about heat, and smokers are mostly about flavor-enhancing wood smoke. We say “mostly” because grilling food does involve some smoke, and smokers do generate heat.
It’s all a matter of emphasis, the design of the grill, or the smoker you choose and the way you use it.
Pros and Cons of Different Grills
The most popular kind of grill uses propane or natural gas for a heat source, providing fast cooking with no need to start a fire the old-fashioned way. Turn on the gas, hit the igniter button and you’ve got lots of heat right away. If you’re interested in the

If you’re a connoisseur looking for the ultimate in taste, a smoker is probably for you. Food takes longer to prepare in a smoker than on a grill because smoking temperatures are always lower than grilling temperatures, allowing more time for the smoke flavor to penetrate the food. As with grills, there are simpler smokers and more skilldemanding options. One of the simplest smokers to operate uses ready-made wood pellets. Fill the hopper with the pellet of choice (hickory, maple, applewood or mesquite, among others), hit the ON button and let the machine handle the process. At the other end of the convenience spectrum are charcoal smokers. These use the same kind of fuel that charcoal grills burn, but the distance between the combustion and food is greater, allowing for that all-important increased smoking time and lower cooking temperatures. Smoking food has been around since before recorded history. The truly traditional approach involves burning wood that gets piped into a small building where food is hung or placed on racks. The modern equivalent is gas- or electric-fired smoker cabinets that use real wood or purchased wood chips. The heat burns the wood, making smoke that flavors your food. The best electric wood smokers are easy to control and operate pretty much on autopilot. Continued on page 15
