Under threat of bringing a formal complaint against the Borough of Bath for cracking down on a sign he has at his business, Council on Monday voted to have the Planning Commission re-write the ordinance and suspend fines for any violations until that is done. Josh Marsh of Old Forge Drive, owner of Good Eats on S. Walnut St., complained about the sign he has to take down, saying it has increased his business by 20%. He noted other businesses that have banners and cardboard signs in the borough. Council President Robert Fields said the lack of parking and Council’s troubling law about signs drives businesses away, and feels the ordinance should be re-written. Councilman Mark Saginario agreed with him and said violations should be suspended for a period of time. Councilwoman Jennifer George said Marsh was not singled out, and four notices were sent, adding that under the law banners can be displayed for a two-week period at a fee of $35. She said signs are just part of the effort to clean up the borough, and this includes sidewalks and tall grass. When Marsh and Ms. George got into heated debate, Councilman Joe Lin-
Lehigh Township Woman drowns In Lehigh River
Pamela J. Boyko, 53, of Walnutport, Lehigh Township died Sunday, May 29 in Whitehall Township. She was the companion of Andrew F. Rushatz. She had drowned when her canoe capsized in the high waters of the Lehigh River after she had tried to find two family dogs that had strayed. According to Ray Bednarchik, Southeast Region Manager of the Pa. Fish & Boat Commission, her body was found eight miles downstream from where the canoe was found. Ms. Boyko was formerly employed as a bartender and cook for The Shack at Slatington and as a clerical worker for the Kuhnsville IRS office. She was a 1976 graduate of Parkland High School. Born on May 15, 1958 in Anaheim, Calif., she was a Continued on page 12
senmann told Marsh to get off other points of contention he had with related businesses and a dispute with Ms. George. “We’re talking about the merits of this ordinance.” “A banner is a banner and all should be treated alike,” Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman said. Borough Manager Richard Klotz said that Keller Engineering enforces the ordinances, not Council, and added that signs at two other businesses are legal under the law. Marsh said he doesn’t want to take the sandwich board down because his place is barely visible when coming into Bath. Councilman John Kearns asked, “How many signs or banners can we allow until we say there are too many? Is the sign ordinance we have okay, or should it be modified? We’re trying to work
out a middle of the road.” He personally doesn’t want big signs or banners that cover every window so you can’t see out. A month ago the borough started enforcing the ordinance, but in agreement with Fields, Kearns moved to have the planning committee rewrite the ordinance and suspend violations until that is done. Ms. Heckman said Council should be addressing the issue and it was on their agenda. Klotz said he made courtesy visits to ask the businesses to take banners down, and not the zoning enforcement officer. The ordinance as written now, Ms. Heckman said, lists maximum sizes of signs, sets permit fees. “It’s all spelled out. It’s very specific,” she said. Linsenmann said it could Continued on page 13

The Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board on Wednesday, May 31 granted special exception to MetroTek, allowing the Kunkletown company to build 4,700 solar energy panels adjacent to the Moore Elementary School. However, the ZHB denied the Northampton Area School District’s request to

Housing Help
Latest figures indicate the large number of homes for sale, with prices continuing to decline, is the most depressing feature of the economic slowdown. That has made some favor federal action to reduce the number of unsold homes, perhaps by acquiring homes and offering them for sale on special mortgage terms. Banks and mortgage firms would probably oppose such a program; the answer might be finding some way to aid traditional lenders in speeding home sales. How such a program could work is a difficult question. What is obvious is that if the million plus homes stuck in mortgage problems preventing sales could be, somehow, made saleable on attractive terms--a federal program making this possible-this anti-recession action might prove highly effective.

Opinion Sleepwalking Through the Valley of Financial Calamity
By Lee Wishing A financial bomb dropped on Friday, but it seemed like nobody noticed. Recovering from the news, I attended a high school graduation party on Saturday and took a walk through the graduate’s quintessential middle-class neighborhood. With a bright blue sky and the green hills of a neighboring horse farm providing a panoramic backdrop, I strolled past American flags flying from stately brick homes, lush manicured lawns accented by picket fences, and late-model cars parked neatly in driveways bearing university stickers. I should have felt upbeat but I couldn’t shake the ominous news that China’s U.S. Treasury bill holdings dropped by 97 percent. As life continues in an eerily peaceful manner, this was another signal that America is in serious financial trouble. Why did I let this news get the best of me on what should have been a joyful day? Watching the happy collegebound graduate and my four children, I wondered about the world they will inherit knowing that their elders have failed them as financial stewards of their country. It appears certain that America will default on her obligations (e.g., debt, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc.) and the recent news about China is another flashing warning sign that this is likely to be true. Although I felt strangely self-isolated at the party, I knew there are others across the country who felt the same way about the nation’s finances. For example, CNBC reported on Thursday that wage pessimism is the highest it’s been in 25 years. A recent internal survey by the investment firm UBS revealed that its wealthiest clients are far more concerned about America’s debt than they are about their own portfolios. In March, The Wall Street Jour-
nal reported that the world’s largest bond fund, Pimco’s Total Return Fund, dumped all of its U.S. Treasury holdings, and Stansberry’s Investment Advisory reported in May that the fund is selling Treasurys short (i.e., making a bet that U.S. Treasury bonds will depreciate in value). And one of the world’s greatest currency traders, Stanley Druckenmiller, recently recommended that Congress allow the Treasury to technically default on its obligations. In short, America is in big trouble and a lot of people know it. Yet, we sleepwalk through the valley of financial calamity as Congress duels over paltry solutions, and the Federal Reserve floods our collapsing economic veins with monetary morphine dulling our reaction to calamitous financial news . . . while another high school class graduates. Our children will pay the price of our addiction unless we rip the IV tube from our arms, shed our selfishness, and get busy correcting our prodigal ways.

Of Hydrogen Bondage—Why we owe it ALL to water
By Louise Bugbee Life evolved in water. We are about 60% water. NASA missions are ever seeking signs of water on other planets and the moons that orbit them. In many parts of the world, inadequate water supply is the critical social, political and economic issue. What is it about this liquid that makes it so special? The answer, in two words, is hydrogen bonding. The chemical composition of water is H2O, a molecule made of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. Hydrogen bonds occur when hydrogen atoms of one molecule are attracted to the oxygen atom of another molecule. They give water many properties that Continued on page 13
Letters from our Readers Eating Meat and Children Hunting To the Editor: To the person that made the comment about the seven-year-old girl that shot her first turkey, you said that the father and grandfather
should be ashamed of themselves for taking her and her little sister to kill one of God’s creatures. Well, I believe children should be taught to be self sufficient, as were the children hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Perhaps you should listen to this quote; “He who is without sin cast the first stone”. Maybe when you sit down tonight for dinner in front of your chicken leg, pork chop or steak you could pray for the butcher or store that slaughtered one of God’s creatures as well. In case you didn’t notice the article was for the spring youth turkey hunt that means it is for children. Well, I’m quite proud of my niece. Good job Lily, aunt Debbie is proud of you! (P.S. At the Last Supper they ate Lamb.) Debbie Miller Bath, PA

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip
Every year the Flag Day service at Christ Church in Bath seems to get better. What a great choir they had and Ed Pany is a terrific historian who really knows his stuff. If you weren’t a student of his (and who wasn’t?), then you know the stories he writes about local cement workers and looking back on history around here. The church was packed. Hats off and a big salute to all who had a part of it!. . . . Lehigh Township has had its share of tragedies. This past week, a school bus driver who was killed in an accident and a lady who drowned in the river, two people murdered a year or so ago, and now I hear of another attempt. For the victims goes our sympathies. . . . Graduating seniors from Northampton High School, who are receiving scholarships and other honors, will be toasted at a banquet this Wednesday. They’re all looking to graduation night down at Stabler on Friday. The parents just hafta worry about Friday night rush hour traffic. . . . Ye Ed tells me he hears gripes once in a while when folks in town haven’t had
some events covered in the paper. Reckon he can’t know about ‘em till somebody calls or drops him a line ahead of time. Make it to his attention, whether it’s postal mail or socalled e-mail. . . . Hats off to Willard Stratz and his fellow Lions for having another big soccer game over Nazareth way on Sunday. The team players looked mighty sharp in their gold or blue uniforms, and they had a great time, all for a good cause. . . .Gas now $3.67. Wow! We’re getting there. . . .Baseball fans are real excited about the Lehigh Valley IronPigs this year ‘cause Ryne Sandberg has made them into a winning team. They’re filling the stands at a much lower price than traveling down to Citizens Bank Park, even though the parent Phillies are doing pretty good with all that pitching. . . . Wonder if they’ll be selling strawberries down at the farmers market? They usually show up strong in June. Elmira makes some mighty fine strawberry shortcakes. I can taste them already. . . .

Speaker traces Pa. German dialect Back to Bath Edward Quinter, an instructor in the Pennsylvania German dialect at Kutztown University, will give a presentation in the dialect at the Pennsylvania German Friends meeting at 7 pm on Thursday, June 16. Quinter will discuss his experiences as a Fulbright Scholar in Switzerland. The public is invited to this free meeting at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church, 1933 Hanover Avenue, Allentown. Quinter’s interest in the dialect began when he heard it as a young boy at his maternal grandparent’s home in Bath. Elmo and Alice Frey spoke it frequently with family and friends that visited with them. The dialect is also similar to the Alemannic which he heard during his year as an exchange student in Switzerland several years later. In addition to teaching the dialect at KU and writing articles in the dialect, he also translates old German Script writings, drawing on his formal college training and experiences as a Standard German teacher at Parkland High School. The Pennsylvania German Friends organization meets the third Thursday of the month at the church. Parking is available in the lot across Tacoma Street; use ground floor “Office” entrance.

The games featured graduating senior boys and girls from the Lehigh Valley Conference vs. the Colonial League and Mountain Valley Conference. While overcast earlier in the day, it turned into a bright and sunny afternoon for all the players, making the conditions ideal not only for them, but also members of their families and friends sitting in the stadium bleachers.

After two months of play two teams which had impressed fans in the American League are the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox. The Indians are more of a surprise than the Red Sox-
team winning over the combination of Lehigh Valley – Mountain Valley by a score of 2-1. Most Valuable Players in the game from LVC-Mtn. Valley were Morgan O’Brien of Parkland High School on offense and Shayna King of Easton High School on defense. Colonial MVPs were Quanie Lightner of Saucon Valley and Karleigh Blum of Southern Lehigh. Scholarship winners from the girls teams were Maureen Brennan of Pocono Mountain East; Kayla Dorney of Pleasant Valley, and Lauren Fischer of Salisbury. LVC/MVC-Colonial Boys 2-2 Tie Following that contest, the boys game was played, and it ended in a 2-2 tie as Lehigh Valley played vs. Mountain Valley and Colonial. Lehigh Valley MVPs were Braden Drexler of Nazareth High School on offense and Luke
-who were expected to be strong. In the last week in May the Indians at times already led their division by as much as 7 games! At the same time, in the National League, the Florida Marlins were only two games behind the leading Philadelphia Phillies, with a won-loss record comparable to that of the world champion San Francisco Giants. The other National League power is, thus far, the St. Louis Cardinals. Atlanta, without Bobby Cox, has also been impressive--as the Braves had been for so many years in the Bobby Cox era.

Flag Day commemorated At Christ UCC Church, Bath
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
“When our forefathers came to America, they didn’t have a flag – they had a vision for liberty, justice, freedom and faith in God – they are part of our American heritage,” Edward Pany, a noted area historian and retired teacher, told a capacity audience at Christ U.C.C. Church, Bath, on Sunday night. His talk, along with the superb sounds of a 33-voice mixed chorus and other singing, and the history of 14 flags highlighted the fifth annual observance of Flag Day in the Bath church.
Pany, who is curator of the Atlas Cement Memorial Museum in Northampton, began his remarks by naming the veterans who died this past year, and in the course of his address, mentioned others from this area who have sacrified their lives in the armed forces in the cause of freedom. “The Northampton Militia carved their part in history,” Pany said, as they inflicted a stunning defeat on the British and Hessians in the Revolutionary War. He then went on to tell of the War of 1812, when the British burned Washington, and the bloodi-

In that war, that was carried on in Europe as D-Day came on June 6, our troops fought and died.

Jane Horner Cemetery In this second column, I’m standing in the Jane Horner Cemetery north of Route #329 in East Allen Township with fellow historian Larry Oberly, and Peggy Moser, who is leading a group of volunteers working to restore the 1745 cemetery. The cemetery is the final resting place for our county’s first settlers many who served in the Revolutionary War. The settlers were Scotch-Irish and settled here because of the fertile soil and bountiful wild life. Tradition tells us when they first arrived they came in contact with the Leni Lenape Indians, and asked for a drink of water. A friendly Indian squaw said, “Give me your gourd and I will fetch you some. She returned with sparkling spring water from a fine spring. The spring was located to the rear of the old Weaversville Hotel, today’s Jessica’s Tea Room. The spring became known as Franklin’s Spring for the famous Pennsylvanian who with his daughter Sally stayed at the hotel when he was in charge of our postal system. Franklin improved mail delivery from once a month to once every two weeks. We may have to call on the brilliant man to return again to reorganize our present postal system! The spring house behind the hotel was rebuilt by the hotel’s former owner, Elwood
“Woody” Kleppinger but the spring is no longer in use. The settlement soon included a grist mill, tannery, blacksmith and a Presbyterian church. There have been three churches on the old settlement site. The first was a sturdy log structure on the south side of the Northampton-Bath Highway dating back to 1731. My good friend Betty Schaffer who resides at the former church site, recalls finding some of the logs when they constructed their home there after World War II. A second log church was built north of the highway in 1772, a few steps from the Jane Horner Cemetery. The present church, God’s Missionary Church, was constructed of stone. It formerly was the third Presbyterian House of worship on the site. To preserve the stone, wooden siding was applied to preserve the stone. The last Presbyterian service held in the church was in 1922. Religious services continue today in the historic structure nourishing souls as the site has for 280 years. Quite remarkable. The road serving the settlement was called “Kings Highway”, the present Weaversville Road. It connected the frontier with Philadelphia. The road was crude indeed, a cut through the woods barely wide enough for a small Continued on page 16

War memorial work praised At Northampton Boro Council By BILL HALBFOIERSTER The Home News
Fire Chief Robert Solderich showed members of Northampton Borough Council a view of the War Memorial on Thursday night. It was photographed earlier in the day from atop the aerial ladder of the borough’s newest fire truck. He presented the photo to Mayor Thomas Reenock, who spearheaded the effort to do all the brickwork and making the memorial such a fitting place for remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives in the cause of freedom. Solderich was a driving force behind the work, along with a number of volunteers. Members of Council were highly complimentary of the memorial at the meeting, and said the public was as well. Councilman Michael Bernini suggested there should be handicapped parking to make it easier to view the memorial. Council did approve one parking zone, with a 30-minute time limit from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and said they may add another later. Councilman Joseph Leitgeb said the memorial should be protected for years, calling it “hallowed ground”, and was alarmed at hearing there were skateboarders and bicyclists using the brick base for their activity. Signs have been posted about defacing the
property, and police will issue one warning to violators, with any subsequent violation bringing a $500 fine. Mayor Reenock told Council the project couldn’t have happened without their help, Borough Manager Gene Zarayko, the people who donated, equipment provided, and time given, calling it a “borough family project.” Approximately $15,000 to $20,000 was spent to date, and it could have cost many more thousands if not for the volunteer help. Two large donations were acknowledged, $1,500 from the Northampton Exchange Club and $5,000 from Eric Kocher, who returned to Afghanistan on Sunday for his sixth time. The Mayor said about 130 more bricks can be put in, and thanked the people “who opened up their eyes and hearts.” Other Matters • Samuel Campbell, a senior at Northampton High School, asked for use of the park so the class could have a campout in honor of fellow classmate, Samuel Silfies, who was seriously injured, is in a coma, and has been on life support. While he had hoped to have an overnight campout June 6 into June 7, Council said they could only allow it for Monday afternoon until the 10 p.m. curfew.

LVPC official backs up residents’ Appeal of East Allen Twsp. decision
Olev Taramae, chief of planning for the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, testified before the East Allen Township Zoning Hearing Board last week, as part of an appeal by several local residents to thwart the decision several weeks ago by the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors to allow the Northampton Area School District a conditional use in an agricultural zone. NASD hopes to eventually build a new middle school on a 90-acre tract of land at Seemsville Rd. & Nor-Bath Blvd. (Rt. 329). The residents who have appealed that decision – most notably Madelyn “Maggie” Kemp (a former school board member and presently running for township supervisor), her mother, Myrtle Schwartz, and Peggy Moser – have cited the dangers of having a school in that area
because of heavy traffic. Taramae testified that the proposed school would not fit into the township’s comprehensive plan, amplifying what the LVPC had said in an earlier review letter. NASD Supt. Joseph Kovalchik testified that that the land zoned agricultural was purchased years ago under the impression that it was appropriate for a school. The school district has been moving forward with its plans to replace the seriously deteriorated present three-pod middle school in Northampton with a new school rather than renovate. The East Allen ZHB hearing will continue on June 21. This latest regulalry scheduled hearing had been rescheduled after an earlier one was suspended because the stenographer failed to appear to take down commentary.

Council votes 9-0 to disband police Department, clearing way to CRPD Mayor Fred Daugherty is for it, the late Mayor Elmo Frey wasn't. But on Monday, Nazareth Borough Council voted unanimously, 9-0, to disband the present police department and eventually to merge with the Colonial Regional Police Department. Although residents and the present police chief, Thomas Trachta, have doubts about the merger’s effectiveness in police coverage, Daugherty
and Council felt it’s the way to go, especially with spiraling costs just to keep the present three full time and eight part time officer police force. Last month, CRPD Chief Roy Seiple put on a power point presentation at a Council workshop meeting, fully explaining what their department does and how effective it can be and is in dealing with matters of crime. Apparently, it convinced Council, al-
though they did not say so in public at the time. Council President Daniel Chiavaroli believes the Nazareth officers will be integrated into the present 24 officer CRPD. With the Nazareth department being disbanded, negotiations will begin now with CRPD as Nazareth works with current contracts and moves forward to have CRPD provide service by 2012.
Nazareth Rotary Club Honors “Barony of the Rose”
honor graduate of the class of 2011. He, too, plans to study at Moravian College in Bethlehem. (Additional details on the graduation if available, will be published next week.)
Nazareth Rotary Club celebrates community history with its annual rose sale on Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11, in the greater Nazareth area. Rotarians and members of the Nazareth Area Intermediate and High School Interact Clubs will be at locations throughout the Nazareth area selling commemorative roses in honor of the historic “payment day.” Originally, Nazareth was a tract of 5,000 acres owned by William Penn’s family. The feudal tax on this land was one red rose, payable on June 24. This tradition led to Nazareth’s Colonial name of “The Barony of the Rose.”
The historic rose presentation will be re-enacted at noon on Saturday, June 11, at the Whitefield House in Nazareth, located at 214 E. Center St., as part of the annual Arts & Crafts Festival. The long-stemmed roses sell for $3.50 each and will be available at Center Square in Nazareth and other locations around the area. Sale times are Friday, June 10 from 3-6 pm. and Saturday, June 11 from 8:00 am. - 1:00 pm. Proceeds from the sale will benefit Nazareth community projects. Roses are being provided by Nazareth Floral Designs.

THE HOME NEWS
June 9-15, 2011
“…and lead us not into temptation…” On the Global Day of Prayer calendar June 9, 2011 is set for reflection upon this petition of the Lord’s Prayer, coupled with the thought: “…for Christians to be filled with such love and zeal to please God that they are unmoved by enticements of materialism and sexual perversity…” Perhaps there are only a few who would question the intent of such a prayer. Even so, it bodes well for us to give some time to this thought. Recently a teenager lamented the fact that he/she only had a 3G phone and not the more powerful 4G model. An adult thought that a larger mower would enable a more rapid cutting of the yard, even though the current, still working model was a “blessing” when it was new. A couple put off their wedding because they lacked the funds to “do it right.” A church ripped out the current, functional, sound system to install the latest in digital technology…asking for special donations while mission giving dropped off. Materialism runs rampant in the world and, unfortunately, among God’s people. And in the matter of sexual perversion…every day there are headlines Temptation is our ever-present companion. It often takes subtle forms that can easily slip below even the most diligent Christian radar. Justifications for our surrender to everyday temptations come in so many shapes and sizes it is impossible to catalogue them all. Perhaps that is a fundamental reason daily prayer and reflection is so crucial to our journey through the wilderness of this broken world. When the Lord’s Prayer is offered in worship…do we simply recite the words, giving little thought to their meaning and implications; and, what of the other 6 days of the week? Is a weekly faith shot in the arm sufficient to fight temptation—like a monthly allergy shot—or do we need more? If we ask God to …lead us not into temptation… shouldn’t we be in regular, daily communication with him…so that we can be led each step of our journey? I don’t have your answer to these questions…but I have my own…yes! I need daily communion with my Lord so that life’s temptations don’t overwhelm me. Amen.

take about six months until the Planning Commission works out the process. They meet on the third Thursday of the month, with the next meeting on June 20. Other Matters • Fields commented that three municipalities to the north of Bath got casino funds and Bath didn’t apply to get any money. Klotz will check into this. • Councilman Mike Reph spoke about a possible band shell in the borough, and Ms. George and Ms. Heckman said the Bath Borough Business & Community Partnership (BBBCP) did put in a picnic table and grill at Keystone Park, and there could be a band shell or gazebo there. A health inspector recently said the farmers market needs to have a hot water station under health regulations. The market is on the east end of the park, while a pavilion is at the west end. It has a rest room, but BBBCP chose to have the market at the park facing Race St. for better visibility to motorists. The committee was given permission to look into making improvements, since they have applied for a grant. • Ms. Heckman showed an historic guide for Nazareth and said BBBCP wants to prepare one for Bath, changing it every year, listing events and having a listing of historic points of interest, businesses and parks in the borough for visitors to see. Because 2012 will be Bath’s 275th anniversary, they would like to develop the brochure before January. She said it would tell visitors “who we are and what we are.” • In his report, Klotz said business licenses were mailed out on June 1. . . .Vegetation is being monitored, and attention is placed on sidewalks where weeds gather at curbs. • Council approved a contract with McTish, Kunkel & Associates to provide inspection services for the Monocacy Park and Streetscape Phase II project based upon actual hours worked, plus authorized expenses, not to exceed a basis of $35,658. Other items Fields noted: Speeding is a problem on Christmas Ave. as cars come out of Carl Rehrig Park and the Park Ridge development. . . .Colonial Regional Police are still discussing points that Nazareth is considering for a possible merger with CRPD. . . .Legion Post 470 visited cemeteries on Memorial Day. Ms. George complained about jake brakes and a bump that makes noise on Rt. 512; Ms. Heckman said extra long PA003267

PUblic notice-Legal NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ENACT ORDINANCE NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 14, 2011 at 7 p.m., at 4714 Indian Trail Road, Pennsylvania, Board of Supervisors of Allen Township intends to enact an ordinance, of which this Notice is a summary: AN ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ALLEN, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, RE-ENACTING, RESTATING AND AMENDING THE ALLEN TOWNSHIP EARNED INCOME TAX ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH CONFORMITY WITH THE LOCAL TAX ENABLING ACT AS AMENDED BY ACT 32 OF JULY 2, 2008; LEVYING A TAX ON EARNED INCOME AND NET PROFITS; REQUIRING TAX RETURNS; REQUIRING EMPLOYERS TO WITHHOLD AND REMIT TAX; PROVIDING FOR INTEREST, PENALTIES, COSTS AND FINES FOR VIOLATION AND NON-PAYMENT OF TAX; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, PURPOSE/ REPEAL, CONSTRUCTION AND EFFECTIVE DATE, AND RELATED PROVISIONS. The proposed Ordinance is being enacted, and notice is being given, pursuant to the Local Tax Enabling Act, 53 P.S. § 6924.101, et. seq. The Ordinance restates and amends in its entirety the Township’s currently existing Earned Income Tax Ordinance, dated December 31, 1991, in order to conform to the provisions of the Local Tax Enabling Act, 53 P.S. § 6924.101, et. seq., as amended and restated by Act 32 of 2008, and to do so within the time frame required by Act 32. The proposed Ordinance imposes a tax of one percent (1%) on the earned income and net profits of residents of the Township and a tax of one percent (1%) on the earned income and net profits of non-residents derived from work or other activity in the Township. The tax is in addition to any earned income tax levied by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the School District in which the Township is located. The tax is imposed for general revenue purposes, including general operating revenue for the Township. The Ordinance will be effective January 1, 2012 and continues the tax previously imposed, and at the same rate. The nature of the tax is substantially the same as the earned income tax currently levied, subject to the changes required by Act 32. The Ordinance shall apply to earned income and net profits earned or received by a taxpayer during calendar year 2012 and each year thereafter without annual re-enactment unless the rate of tax is subsequently changed. The estimated revenue generated by the tax for the 2012 calendar year is $530,000. A copy of the full text of the proposed Ordinance may be obtained at the Municipal Office of the Allen Township/Borough

GARY PIERZGA wears the D.A.R.E. Medal presented to him by Police Chief Ron Morey during Siegfried School ceremonies on Thursday.
The cafeteria of Siegfried Elementary School in Northampton was filled on Thursday, June 2 for the graduation of sixth grade D.A.R.E. students – 122 boys and girls in five periods, along with their parents, grandparents and siblings. Gary Pierzga, who along with others before him has been involved with Drug Abuse Resistance Education for about a dozen years, spoke to the audience about what D.A.R.E. means and how their instructor, Police Chief Ronald Morey, has helped them make right decisions. Morey then spoke to the parents, telling them that they can be proud of their children. The students, who had sat on the cafeteria floor in five rows, then stood up, faced their parents and grandparents, and were soundly applauded. The police chief said he hopes he got them ready for the “round” (middle) school. Chief Morey presented a D.A.R.E. medal for Pierzga to wear, honoring him for the years he has devoted to the program. Northampton Mayor Tom Reenock credited Morey, Pierzga, the principal and the teachers for a team effort. He asked that the students take what they learned when they go on vacation this summer. “Have a good summer and behave,” he declared. Judge Speaks Commonwealth Judge Emil Giordano took time off from the bench to address the students and the audience, telling them that he considers parenting a vitally important part of life. With two children himself, he cited a friend with a 14-year-old who got into trouble with other youths that included smoking marijuana and even a gun when there was a drug dealer involved. Giordano warned, “Heroin is out there. If kids get it in their system, God help them.” Saying smoking and drinking are a “big deal”, the judge told the parents, “Know
where your kids are and who they are with.” Sadly, he said, he sees marijuana butts lying on the roadside as he jogs daily near his home in Hanover Township. To the youngsters, he said, “It’s okay not to be cool, it’s okay to point out someone who may be smoking marijuana on the school bus.” Essay Winners Stuffed lions were given to the students writing the first, second and third best essays about what they learned during their weeks of instruction on how harmful to one’s life smoking, alcohol and drugs can be. The following were the five first place winners: Rachel Stoll, period three; Vincent Rossi, period four; Logan Buskarits, period five; Cori Schiffert, period six, and Richard Gregory, period seven..

The Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce (NACC), partners of the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, will announce the “2011 Business of the Year” at its 3rd annual NACC Iron Pigs Night on Wednesday, June 22. Tony Pristash, NACC President, will present the award to Miller Supply Ace Hardware, selected for outstanding spirit and commitment in contributing to the success and growth of the Chamber, the business community, and the Northampton area. Dale Miller started the business with Paul Kozero back in 1975 as a painting and roofing business on Main Street in Northampton. The business moved to Weaversville in October 1977. Ties with the Ace Hardware franchise took place in 1980 and the business prospered with more and more customers, most of them loyal patrons over two decades. In June of 2000, Owner Dale Miller moved his store from Weaversville Road to Route 329 & Savage Road. As the business grew, the challenge was to keep the “small store” feel in the 23,800 square foot facility. Miller and his staff do just that by offering “good down home” customer service. “It’s nothing special, we are just doing our everyday job and trying to do it well” says Miller. They aim to be customer-friendly

wagon. The road was used by Moravian missionaries and the Militia during the French & Indian and Revolutionary Wars. One of the most important structures was a grist mill. The first mill to be constructed was the Hays Grist Mill built on the banks of the Catasauqua Creek. The first mill was constructed with logs in 1730, to be replaced by stone in later years. The mill was constantly busy grinding the staple of survival, flour and the mill operated with renewable power, water. Slowly the giant water wheel propelled ancient wooden gears and stones producing flour, the mills being one of the earliest industries in Colonial America. All remains of the mill are gone, not a trace to be found. Few people remain who saw the mill’s last days. The late Harold Yohn of Weaversille recalled when the stone mill walls were demolished and the material was utilized in road projects. Today the meadow is quiet and the farmers’ wagons filled with grain have been lost in time.
