Fire rips through row of Nazareth townhouses
Fire broke out at about 2 p.m. last Tuesday, March 13 in a townhouse at 40 N. Green St., Nazareth. It then spread to 38 and 36 N. Green St., part of the townhouse development owned by Orwig Property Management, and rented from them. They are a short distance from Moravian Hall Square. At the time the fire started at 40 N. Green St., Karla Dewey and her three year old son Cole were taking a nap upstairs, her husband Rich, was at work. The mother and her child were able to escape the home. However, their home and all the belongings were destroyed. Eight volunteer fire companies responded from Nazareth, Hecktown, Bath, Tatamy, and the townships of Bushkill, Upper Nazareth, Palmer and Plainfield. It took roughly 40 minutes and about 60 firefighters to extinguish the flames. While the townhouse at 40 N. Green St. was a complete loss, thanks to the efforts of the firefighters the other four townhouses attached to it were saved. The two closest to where the fire began did have water and smoke damage, causing the tenants to relocate. According to the Red Cross, there were two adults and their young child in 40 N. Green; one adult in 38 N. Green; an adult in 36 N. Green;
an adult in 34 N. Green, and and an adult and two children at 32 N. Green St. The Red Cross provided assistance with lodging, clothing, food, shoes and toiletry items for the Dewey family until Friday morning when they decided to stay with Family. The other families were also given food, clothing and toiletry items and are staying with family. The cause of the fire is undetermined, according to Vigilance Hose Co. #1 Chief Dan Keenhold, so it remains under investigation. Help for Family Meanwhile, Ben Miller of 181 Tewksbury Ct., Upper Nazareth Township has launched an online appeal for help from businesses and individuals for the family who lost everything. He is asking for gift cards from restaurants, grocery stores, and pharmacies, where the family can purchase clothes or toys for their child. If donating clothing for the child his measurements are 3T to 4T. Miller said individuals could consider donating a gift card to places like WalMart or Target, where the family can purchase anything they will need to rebuild their lives. He said it can be from $5 to however much they want to donate. Gift cards can either be dropped in Miller’s mailbox or mailed to him at the Continued on page 10
A standing room only audience was on hand at the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting this past Tuesday, March 15. They came in response to rumors that were floating around concerning the Rails to Trails plans for acquiring rights to land. At the beginning of the dialogue, Supervisor Keith Hantz read a letter from Rails to Trails president Mrs. Meg Schell, in which she said she could not attend because the committee was unprepared. Near the end of the debate that went back and forth between the board and the audience, Supervisor Dell Grove expressed disappoint-
ment at Mrs. Schell not being present to answer questions of concern. “I don’t buy it,” he said, and asked the residents to “be patient and determined,” adding, “When they (the R-T committee) come in, lift the rock and let the sun in, bear with us and come to the March 27 meeting of the Supervisors.” It was noted that the committee would be meeting on Wednesday, March 21, and they could attend then. Grove requested that the board send a letter to Meg Schell informing her that she should be at the March 27 meeting. It was unanimously approved. In an earlier discussion, Chairman Darryl Snover emphasized that Lehigh Town-
ship is not providing any funds to the committee for their project of putting in a trail. Hantz said the area included is between Quince Road and Wood Drive. The residents’ concern is that they don’t want land taken away from them, and Butternut Drive was also in question. The letter from Mrs. Schell said there has been a lot of misinformation circulated. Hantz said the board needs to look at the easements, but Snover said they don’t really matter, adding that the landowners should work together. “There are always challenges, and the Rails to Trails committee needs to come to some
kind of agreement with them. It’s Continued on page 13
Northampton children collect $6,513.27 for leukemia patients By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Col. John Siegfried Elementary School in Northampton had an assembly last Friday in which the final totals were announced in a collection of pennies and other change to benefit patients afflicted with leukemia. The 700 students gathered in the school gym and heard a report from teacher Gary Pierzga and members of the student council that $6,513.27 was raised in the “Pennies for Patients” drive. It set a new record, beating last year’s amount of $5,556.61. In all, over the four years the elementary students in Northampton have been raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, $19,363.29 has been collected. Collecting the most money was the second grade, $1,164.00, earning them a pizza party. Kindergarten was only $9.75 back, with $1,154.25. The most money donated was by Jacob Biery in Miss Allabach’s kindergarten classroom. Pamela Formica, campaign

manager for the L&L Society in Allentown, said Siegfried School ranks third among the 18 counties in eastern Pennsylvania for the amount collected. “It’s amazing!” she said. Across the U.S., there are 13,000 children suffering from leukemia. Pierzga thanked Linda Stepp and Lynn Galgool of KNBT Bank for counting all the pennies, dimes, quarters and other change. Making the announcement in front of the cheering boys and girls were Olivia Daniels and Devin Thomma of student council.
Pierzga thanked Chief of Police Ron Morey for carrying the big buckets of change to the bank with the help of Mayor Tom Reenock. He also thanked the PTA, teachers and staff. Included among the change were 100,604 pennies, an amount that would stretch 1.2 miles, Pierzga said. He told the boys and girls how far that would go through the streets of Northampton. School Principal Carrie Belano welcomed the students and everyone else to the program.

that involves moving people and goods on a daily basis. We are facing a $3.5 billion transportation crisis statewide, yet there is no plan in sight for a sustainable funding source for all the work that needs to be completed. Last summer, I introduced legislation (H.B. 1834) to set in motion the steps needed to create as many as 30,000 of the jobs, jobs, jobs that would result from this endeavor. Just recently in the House, we debated the existence of a community economic development program that has helped restore the crumbling infrastructure of buildings through the Commonwealth. Some form of the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) has been in place since 1986. It is a matching grant program, funded through government-issued bonds. It has helped to provide critical matching funds to rebuild public structures such as libraries, courthouses, medical facilities, educational institutions, urban business corridors, and even sports stadiums and arenas. Dozens of communities statewide have reaped the benefits of this program. However, legislation to reduce the amount of debt allowed for the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program was approved recently by the House. The proponents of the legislation have completely

With all the talk around the country about jobs, jobs, jobs, one has to wonder why so many public office holders or holder-wannabes are so determined to undermine any potential for job, job, job creation. In Pennsylvania, it has taken an odd turn. In spite of a year-old set of recommendations from his own transportation advisory commission, Gov. Corbett has yet to put forth any kind of plan to maintain or repair our state's crumbling infrastructure of roads, bridges, transit systems, and other critical avenues needed for an economy

ignored the fact that not all debt is bad debt; that, in fact, when government issues bonds for various projects, that money jumpstarts the economy, adding jobs, jobs, jobs and prolonging the life of the critical infrastructure needed to attract private industry to invest in our communities. Government cannot create jobs, jobs, jobs but it certainly can have an influence on those who do. If Pennsylvania is to be the businessfriendly destination that the governor and my colleagues claim they want, we need to do more, not less, to entice the private sector to invest its dollars and manpower in the Commonwealth. We need to take action on the four-bill (H.B. 2181, H.B. 2182, H.B. 2183, and H.B. 2184) package I introduced earlier this year – Made in PA – to retain, create, and stimulate jobs, jobs, jobs. Instead of cutting dollars to basic and higher education, the incubators of Pennsylvania's future workforce, we must consider more creative ways to invest those dollars, not eliminate them. We must provide additional incentives so that private industry is willing to take the entrepreneurial chances necessary to stimulate the imagination and that result in family-sustaining and rewarding jobs, jobs, jobs. It is time to act, act, act.

This Tuesday was the first day of spring, and it felt like it. As a matter of fact, most of winter this year had a springlike feel to it in the daytime. I see flowers are blooming, and noticed a forsythia bush at the back of the Lutheran church was budding, but haven’t seen any robins as yet. Spring is here! Don’t ya love it??!!! Soon we’ll see the youngsters out playing ball, and Moms pushing their babies around on strollers, and even lots of folks in shorts. . . . .Been watching March Madness on the tube, and some of those games are really good. ‘Course the best one was when Lehigh beat Duke. Too bad they couldn’t go further, but Lehigh will be big in the NCAA history books after that win, for sure. . . . .Big crowd again at the Lutherans’ fish supper. I hear there are fish suppers every Friday up at the Catholic church, too, so gotta get to that one before Lent is over. . . . Nice to read about Ray and Pat Groff putting more than 40 acres of their land under an easement so that it will stay good for Nature and enjoyable for us humans, so that the wildlife can live in peace without a lot of development taking over. Way to go, Ray and Pat! . . . . It wasn’t just dogs and cats that were blessed down at the UCC church on Sunday, I hear. A couple snakes, too, one real big of the kind that
was shown at a Cub Scout banquet a couple weeks ago. I hear the pastor didn’t mind. She even petted it. . . . Note to Ed Pany from Janet Scott in Ohio: He should go to the Governor Wolf historical society artifacts and look up a fifth grade reader donated by her mother, Mrs. Sylvanus Fehnel. She says you’d be amazed at the difficulty of the book. Her mother signed one of the covers on the book. . . . Less than a month to go till I.R.S. deadline day. The tax preparers are getting real busy these days. . . . From all we’re hearing about Phillies injuries, looks like some of the other players are gonna hafta step up if they want another division win this year. Utley and Howard are the biggest gaps to fill. Chuck Frantz and his group going down to Philly to see the Phils play on July 8th will see how they’re making out. . . . Tabitha S. is back from Peru and says she found the view of the rain forest and above it amazing. . . . Girl Scouts are winding down their cookie sales. Saw one stand set up along roadside just outta town the other day. . . . While we’re enjoying the warm weather, one thing we’re gonna need sooner or later is some rain, just not all at one time. I have some green beer left over from St. Patrick’s Day. Reckon I’ll take a sip of that now, and hope you have a nice weekend, gang!

There is a $5 donation at the door, with all proceeds going to the Lehigh Valley chapter of Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks funds biomedical research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for autism; raises public awareness about autism and its effects on individuals, families, and society; and brings hope to all who deal with the hardships of this disorder. We Rock joins the local chapter of Autism Speaks in their commitment to raise funds to support these goals. According
to Autism Speaks, autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S., affects an estimated 1 in 110 children, and costs the nation over $35 billion a year. For more information, visit We Rock on Facebook or www.autismspeaks.org. According to founder Matt Metal who blends his interests in local live music and supporting the community “We started We Rock after coming home from hosting a benefit show that helped out MDA,” explains Metal. “I thought, over all the years being associated in local music, how can we give back to the community just like this event? The staff at We Rock looks forward to helping the
community with our events. Maybe one day, events such as ours will make a difference and no child will have to go through this disease or no mother, daughter, sister, or friend will have to battle breast cancer.”

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Holistic Doctors and the Gut-Brain Connection As the term would seemingly apply, holistic doctors evaluate their patients from an overall perspective rather than compartmentalized evaluation. Increasingly, I see patients that tend to seek our office because they hear from others that we are holistic. For a long time, I assumed this branding was an honor. It is, yet over the years holistic has taken on a much simpler meaning. Nowadays I have come to understand that what patients mean by holistic is that they have a whole-list of problems they need to discuss!!!! Ok, I am making light of things but seriously, as the years go on I am seeing patients with multiple health concerns. So much so that I conclude each and every consultation by saying “Is there anything else about your health that I have not asked that you think I should know”. The most common answer is yes. For this reason, I carry two pens on me at all times……. The usual suspects of gastro-intestinal problems, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart disease, thyroid abnormalities and generalized ill health are plainly in epidemic proportion. Why is this? We all have questions that
need appropriate answers. From my natural perspective, whether the doctor is a chiropractor, osteopath, or medical physician, we all need to be whole-list-ic. A modern day Sherlock Holmes. One of the more interesting debacles that I see which is not talked about enough is the connection between the gut and the brain. Did you know that your gut has its own nervous system and works independent of the brain? It’s true. It is called the ENS or enteric nervous system. Much like the CNS or central nervous system, the ENS controls and coordinates everything “in the south.” This information is then relayed to the brain via the sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways. Amazing. Get this. Some ninety-five percent of all serotonin (think happy neurotransmitter), is made in the cells of the gut. In fact all the neurotransmitters that are made in the brain are made in the gut. The gut also has its own immune system. And you thought all it did was process food from the north and dispose of it in the south. I have come to understand that the relationship between what you eat and absorb has a huge impact on the way you think. In fact, I perceive
Amy Pysher’s Child Care and Early Learning Center
that this area of research and clinical application is the next frontier in treatment of autism, dementia, Alzheimer’s, anxiety, OCD, sleep disorders, panic, hyperactive, depression, schizophrenia, and non-specific brain disorders of all types. The easiest way for me to express the dire situation is by using the common protein gluten as an example. Found in grain products, gluten proteins could potentially find their way up into the brain and wreak havoc. So can the protein casein, found in dairy products. For some time now, researchers have been referring to Alzheimer’s as type three diabetes, a sugar overload problem. Does this all sound farfetched? Maybe, but you would be wise to take heed. Even if these broken down particles never got through to the brain itself, the mess it leaves the gut in is always communicated back up
THE HOME NEWS to the brain. Ever hear of nervous stomach caused by being stressed or upset? Well, how about the messed up gut giving you a nervous brain? Realistic and plausible from a whole-list type analysis. The possibility of the foods you consume messing up your brain is mind boggling I know. We will be discussing a lot more of this in the near future. Be well.

Game Commission and Pa. Fish & Boat Commission, and others will make reports. On Sunday, at the general session, the delegates will vote on issues that have come up, or resolutions that were introduced. One item that the PFSC president Chuck Lombaerde told them about in a letter this week will be considered. That is a change in the by-laws that would give member clubs more direct input into the issues at hand. They would have direct voting power at the state level instead of just at the county level. The change would allow each member club in good standing to have “individual voting” power. A club member may come to the conventions (in spring and fall) and vote on behalf of their club personally, or send a proxy with their county delegate to cast the vote for them. Attending from Northampton County will be Lee Marsh, Bill Halbfoerster, Norman Graver, Mike Topping, Justin Rousseau, and John Berry.
The Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs will have its spring convention this weekend, Friday through Sunday, March 23-25 in Scranton.

Fishing contest March 31, April 1
The annual Bath Area Fishing Committee kids fishing contest will be held the weekend of March 31 and April 1 in the borough. The contest takes place along the Monocacy Creek behind the committee building on Chestnut St. Hundreds of kids and their parents come out each year to participate. This year the contest will begin at 8 a.m. on March 31 when Mayor Donald Wunderler blows an air horn. The contest will continue for kids until 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 1. There is no fee to participate and kids are encouraged to catch fish, many will find tagged fish to win prizes. The committee hopes to stock 500 fish and many prize fish for this year’s contest. “We are in need of donations for this years contest,” said Pete Lalik. In addition to seeking monetary donations to purchase the fish and prizes, the committee is also looking for help each weekend during March to clean up the creek where the contest will take place. “Hurricane Irene devastated our area,” Lalik said “there are branches and brush all over.” The group is asking for anyone who can help with a chainsaw, rake or just to help pick up some garbage to stop by on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Volunteers can call Pete at 610-730-7673 or Ozzie 610-969-8730 before coming out or for more information.

Northampton Council disagrees With legislating smoking behavior
By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
When representatives of Tobacco Free Northeast and the Valley Youth House came to Borough Council with a nosmoking plan they didn’t expect to get the reception they did on Thursday night. Jeanne Fignar asked Council to enact an ordinance requiring all borough parks to be tobacco-free, saying that an ordinance against smoking would make children the winners. Ms. Fignar cited statistics supporting their request – like cigarette butts are the No. 1 litter in the USA and won’t decompose for 50 years; $5.2-billion is spent annually to treat smokers and their chronic problems, and downwind, second-hand smoke is harmful to non-smokers. She said with an ordinance they would provide ten signs, two of which would say, “This Is a Smoke-Free Park” and “Young Lungs at Play.”
Backing up her request were an employee of Valley Youth House and two students at Northampton High School, who encouraged the borough to put up the signs, feeling they would act to prevent people from smoking near children. But the stickler was, they would not give the signs at $10 each unless there is an ordinance. Councilman Ed Pany questioned where their funding comes from and was told that it’s part of a tobacco industry settlement. Councilman Robert Coleman told Ms. Fignar that government is getting too involved and taking all our rights away. “We’re turning into a Socialist country,” he said. Council president John Yurish said he had no problem with the signs, but doesn’t want an ordinance or resolution against smoking in the parks. Ms. Fignar responded that Council was protecting the

20% who smoke and not the 80% who don’t smoke. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr., a non-smoker, said, “If I want to smoke, it’s my choice” and was adamant about being told what to do. “Government regulations are a back door way of controlling us.” Councilwoman Sherry NeffMaikits said, “You can’t legislate moral behavior.” Councilman Robert McHale questioned why an ordinance is needed for signs to be put up. He said they don’t include any penalty or fine for violations when persons are seen smoking. Yurish agreed, saying, “It makes absolutely no sense.” Later, Council voted to make their own signs and place them near tot lots or at a day-care center. A resident had also offered to pay $100 for the signs. Other Matters • Council voted to raise the sewer tapping fee from $3,800 to $5,700. • A Walnutport company, Interstate Waste of the Lehigh Valley, was the winning bidder for removal of sewage sludge over a three-year period, amounting to $196,075 per year. It is taken to another county for disposal. • Boro Manager Gene Zarayko noted that the Northampton Area School District and architect for the new middle school will be meeting with the Planning Commission on April 11. He also announced that there will be a meeting with Allen Township concerning the sewage agreement that has been lingering for some time. • Mayor Tom Reenock said he

Lower Nazareth OKs liquor transfer, Hears about Muslim plans for center By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Lower Nazareth Township’s Board of Supervisors okayed the transfer of a liquor license, and heard plans for a cultural community center on Wednesday, March 14. Under state law with the Liquor Control Board, when a liquor license is granted there must be a hearing in townships. An attorney rep-
resenting RARE Hospital International explained about the transfer of the license to one of its affiliates, Longhorn Steak House, which will be located in the township. Alcohol is served at all Longhorn restaurants, one of RARE International’s many national chain restaurants. It was noted that anyone 30 years or under is carded. The supervisors approved the transfer.

Cultural Center In a discussion, which Township Manager Timm Tenges described as being “the cart before the horse,” Martin Gilchrist of Urban Research & Development Corp. spoke to the board about the proposed Lehigh Dialogue Center. It will be what is called a Cultural Community Center along Commerce Park Drive, in which there will be religious education and prayer in Islam. They also plan a hotel to go with the center in the long term. The one item that would not be allowed at present in zoning is a proposed cemetery. Gilchrist said it would be a small cemetery, and the developers would like it as an accessory use, but presently that could not be done in an Ag or LDR district. The board was told they rent a facility at Ave. A in Lehigh Valley Industrial Park at Airport Rd. There are 250 such Islamic cultural centers in the U.S. There is no Muslim cemetery in this area. Gilchrist and two others representing the proposal said there would be two buildings occupying between 15,000 and 18,000 sq. ft. of space. The cultural center would have Sunday school classes for children. Solicitor Gary Asteak questioned the men on their definition of a cultural center. This was an informal presentation, because plans have to go before the Lower Nazareth Township Planning Commission first. But it was noted by Tenges that they were given guidance regarding a cemetery. Clean-Up Day Tenges reported that CleanUp Day will be on Saturday, May 19. The township will be able to haul their own refuse at a cost of $1,680, much lower than formerly because of the purchase of a 2011 International truck from PennDOT and a 2012 GMC truck approved on Wednesday, both replacing older trucks. A container will be placed at the 90acre parcel of land the township owns at 4600 Newburg Rd. (across from Carpenter’s Church) so that residents can bring recycling items and even brush.“It will be a higher level of service,”Tenges said. Also planned for that land is a pre-engineered pole building that the supervisors approved on Wednesday. It will contain recycling and park maintenance equipment. Presently, that equipment was stored in two bays at the Hecktown Vol. Fire Co. Under a new state law, the level of purchases can be up to $18,000 before bidding is required, so this will be allowable without bids. The board voted to retire their $250,000 debt on the land, saving the township $25,000.
Other Matters • A Presidential Dr. developer questioned about sanitary sewer laterals at two lots on Christian Springs Rd. Tenges said he would be meeting with a DEP representative on Thursday about sewerage and didn’t know if the laterals could be put in on the properties. Tenges did say that the more sewer hook-ups that are allowed the better, for it will emable the township to recover some of the $90,000 that was spent on sewerage. • A time extension was granted for Colt’s Run to June 2012. • In reports, Hecktown Fire Co. had 21 emergencies and 24 incidents responded to in February, and the Hecktown Ambulance Corps had 45 calls. The next meeting will be on March 28 at 6:30 p.m.

Girl Scout troops Attend church Worship service
Members of four troops in Girl Scouting attended Sunday morning worship at Christ U.C.C. Church, Bath, on March 11, also marking the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouts. They were welcomed by the pastor, The Rev. Frances Merkel, and the president of Consistory, Mrs. Linda Hahn. After the presentation of colors, a troop leader, Tiffany Yob, read a story from an early edition of The Home News years ago in which all of the troops and their leaders at that time were listed. During the service, the Girl Scouts and Brownies recited the Girl Scout Law and Promise responsively with the congregation, as well as prayers for the scouts. These were the scouts and their leaders: Daisy Troop #8363, led by Marleah Loch – Kaila Dieter, Kyle Dorne, Abigail Fenon, Jessica Regalis, Haven Smith.

The Rev. Barry Mitchell Pastor, Emmanuel’s Lutheran Church
The Wisdom of Children “A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan, in which a man was beaten, robbed and left for dead. She described the situation in vivid detail so her students would catch the drama. Then she asked the class, ‘If you saw a person lying on the roadside all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?’ A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed silence: ‘I think I’d throw up.’” -Ray Kerley, “From the back pew” I love the above story because it speaks to a reality that many of us face. Some of the Bible’s stories are filled with a mixture of violence and gross detail. Several that come to mind: All of the relatives of a man who complains about God are swallowed up in an earthquake; A guest who came in the wrong wedding clothes is bound hand and foot, and thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth; A rich man writhing in the torment of Hades cries out to Father Abraham for a drop of water and is denied. Some of the Bible’s most powerful images are deliberately strong to evoke an equally strong response. Yet I often wonder how children (and many adults) react to these images. Is there a part of us that honestly reacts like the little girl in the story: “I think I’d throw up.”? Or have we become so complacent in hearing these stories read piously from the lectern or pulpit that they no longer elicit the necessary response? Maybe this is a part of what Jesus meant when he said that we would have to become like children to enter the Kingdom of God. Perhaps we would do well to re-read or re-tell the stories in a way that brings out our honest reaction, our disgust or anger or even fear. Quite likely, we would benefit from the honest reactions of children who are hearing the stories for the first time. May God give us the eyes and ears and honesty of the children, that we might enter again into the stories of the Kingdom and hear them anew. As Spring begins and Lent comes toward an end, we take a moment to thank God for Jesus’ love poured out for us on the cross and for the hearts and minds and love of children throughout the world.

THE HOME NEWS mile section. They just want to be recognized so they can seek grants, but they need the right to be on that one section of land. “We want to be good neighbors and do things the right way,” he said,“We’re not trying to take any property.” R-T is a 501 C-3 non-profit corporation, so they can recieve grants. Snover said if the township would own the property, the R-T people would be responsible for maintaining it, but the township would give them no funds. “Rails to Trails would need to come up with some amicable agreement with property owners. I am against eminent domain.” A member of the Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association is concerned because of the club’s lake and the ranges they have. He thought the government might be involved. Stover reiterated that R-T is a private group of volunteers. Another resident was concerned about a pipe and where Mrs. Miller’s son had an Eagle Scout project. When a storm caused flooding, the scout cleaned up debris with help and had a fund-raiser, Mrs. Miller said. After Grove’s initial statement, Snover said, “I’m in favor of the Rails to Trails concept. I’m not in favor of taking anyone’s property.” Leibenguth Excavating was discouraged from doing any grading work by Hantz, with no lease on hand. Supervisor Sandy Hopkins said that last October permission was given for an excavation clean-up of mud at the end of the trail. For the rest of the story, stay tuned after March 27.

Other Matters • Supervisor Miller brought up the issue early in the meeting about the Neighborhood Improvement Zone in Allentown, which allows the City of Allentown to take out-of-town workers’ earned income tax money for an ice hockey arena. She said she doesn’t know the amount due to Lehigh Township, but the money should go to the townships, boroughs and school districts in Northampton County, not the city, she said. An effort may be made to join Hanover Township in a legal challenge to the state act, which authorized the money staying in Allentown, possibly up to 30 years. Township Manager Alice Rehrig is also contacting the E.I.T. collector in this county about the issue. • The township will apply for FEMA money to repair flood damage on Willow Road. • The board approved a contract with Repiublic ITF for LED traffic lights at allow bid of $11,862. Although specs were the same for four bidders, there was a big difference with one coming in at $19,705. Mrs. Hopkins said the lights should give the township a big drop in their electric bill. • Also okayed: a resolution for a right-of-way in the Penn Walters subdivision and the purchase of a gang lawn mower. • At a March 6 special meeting, the supervisors voted to hire the Meyner Center to conduct interviews from within the Lehigh Township Police Department, as well as beyond, to determine who would be the best choice to succeed Chief Jeff Schuler when he retires May 24. The cost will start at $1,500, plus actual time spent, not to exceed $5,000. PA003267

and it’s up to them (the committee) to reach their ultimate goal.” Supervisor Cindy Miller said the board should tell them they want to look at their plans. “What trail? We haven’t seen a plan,” she said. One resident said there are a lot of blind roads that come out on the trail, making it dangerous, while Hantz said it is near a shooting range and the danger of bullets and/or arrows. It was noted R-T did ask the township for permission to do a survey, and it was granted. But Hantz said they can’t do any work on township property. Barry Shabbich, a member of the committee, was present and addressed some concerns. He said they are focusing on a half-
