aged in a 2005 fire, has been completed renovated over the past couple years by the Caizzo brothers. The renovation included several on site apartments. “It’s the era of corner bars and friendly atmospheres,” Joe said. “People want local watering holes and that is what we’re offering.”

Joe and Angelo Caizzo are well versed in the restaurant business, their family own and operate both Campus Pizza in Bethlehem and Anna Bellas on Rt. 512. Joe recalls

Joe & Angelo Ciazzo will open Red Wolf Bar & Grille this Friday, at the historic Bath Hotel. working for their ‘Pop’ in the restaurants, which also helped to inspire the name of their new venture in Bath.

Lehigh supervisors to appeal Lehigh Twp. home fire Solar verdict in Supreme Court Claims life of resident

Only a shell of this Lehigh Twsp. home at 443 Washington Dr. was left after the late Wednesday night fire in which the owner died.

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Harley A. Henning, 65, of 443 Washington Dr., Lehigh Township died this past Wednesday night, April 24 when fire gutted his two-story home.

Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Co. firefighters, led by Chief Richard Hildebrand, were called out at 10:55 p.m., when a neighbor spotted flames under the doorway of Henning’s home. When they arrived, the fire was raging so much that they were unable to attempt any rescue.

Henning’s body was recovered at about 1 a.m. Thursday morning. Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek said he apparently died of smoke inhalation, but the exact manner wouldn’t be disclosed until after an investigation by Lehigh Twsp. Fire Marshal Roger Spadt, State Police Fire Marshal Michael Booke, township police and Lysek. The victim had been sleeping on the second floor, which collapsed on to the first floor from the inferno.

companies also responded to the blaze at the site southeast of Walnutport, and their efforts were further hampered by venting propane gas tanks and large amounts of firewood and shipping pallets on the enclosed porch. In addition, electrical power lines had melted and were live along the ground next to the house. PPL electrical crews were called to shut off power.

Firefighters had water from a municipal fire hydrant, and were able to keep the blaze from spreading on a windy night, although it did cause some heat damage to a nearby home. The fire was declared under control by about 5:30 a.m. Thursday.

The Henning home was along a single lane dirt road off Washington Drive. A large number of vehicles and other items were at the location.

A memorial service for Henning was held last night (Wednesday) in the Schaeffer Funeral Home, Lehighton, which had charge of arrangements.

The long-standing controversial issue regarding the Northampton Area School District’s plans to have a 7000-panel, four-acre solar array at Lehigh Elementary School took another twist this past Tuesday, April 23.

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors voted to appoint special counsel to make an appeal before the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, seeking to reverse a recent decision by the Commonwealth Court that would allow the project to go through.

The lower court decision upset an earlier decision in Northampton County‘s Court of Common Pleas that upheld the township zoning hearing board’s findings that said the school district failed to offer any evidence that other school districts are using solar arrays to provide electricity to their schools, and that the township’s zoning ordinance “plainly allows solar energy units as an accessory use provided they meet size and setback requirements.”

Northampton County Judge Michael Koury, Jr. said it was unnecessary for the zoning

board to examine whether other schools have built energy fields to decide whether they are customarily incidental.

The supervisors’ vote to launch still another appeal

came following a 35-minute executive session. Solicitor David Backenstoe went through all the details, beginning when the Northampton Area School Continued on page 13

To Mom, With Love: Mother’s Day Gift Guide

She has packed your lunches, kissed your boo-boo's and hugged you tight. Mom has a knack for knowing just what you need to make life all better.

Now its time to say 'thank you' with a little love for mom. Here is list of what moms are giving —and hoping to get—this year.

For the traditional mom: Whether she relishes a new

book, long baths or champagne brunches, she deserves it all.

Give her a reason to schedule some "me time" with a home spa treatment. Or if she likes to share with friends, indulge in a Champagne Treats Basket from Shari's Berries (www.berries.com).

For the contemporary mom: Whether it's your sister, daughter wife or mother, the contemporary mom maintains a stylish home and makes strollers look fashionable. Brighten up her office or desk with a Mother and

Child Orchid Garden (www. proflowers.com). If you're brave, consider a pair of Stud Earrings.

For the gourmet mom: The gourmet mom tends to throw the best dinners, perhaps a result of restaurant experience or just a deep-rooted love of good cooking. If she has a sweet tooth, Shari's Berries delivers handmade Mother's Day chocolateycovered strawberries and Cake Pops. For the potluck regulars, customize a glazed Stoneware Casserole dish with a nickname

or favorite phrase at Personal Creations (www.personalcreations.com).

For the entertaining mom: If it's possible to have a monopoly on holiday parties, leave it to the entertainers. Surprise her with a lavish token of love, like a box of gourmet dipped berries one day, followed by two dozen rainbow roses the next. New Personal Creations picture frames allow for collage cut-outs reading anything from "I Love Mom" to "Family."

Gab Over the Fence

by Pete G. Ossip What a beautiful weekend weather-wise we had.

It’s raining today as I write this, but that’s April, so it’s to be expected. May 1st is on Wednesday, so maybe it will get warmer and stay that way. Sure is good to see all the green leaves and the beautiful flowers. That’s what makes spring so special. . . .What a tremendous sight it was on Sunday to see how many runners there were in the St. Luke’s Half Marathon.

Hadta be thousands! It was good that they remembered all the people who were injured or killed in the Boston Marathon. I don’t think there will be that many runners when the Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) has their race/walk next Saturday May 11 in Bath, but it would be nice to have a hundred or more. I think they had an application to get into the race in last week’s paper.

Moms, if you want to push your baby in a stroller. That’s all right, too. Tracy did it By the way, the BBCP will also be starting their farm market pretty soon. Let’s hope the warmer weather stays with us by then. . . . That was some fire last week when a car burned up down by the railroad tracks. You could see the black smoke from a long way off, and folks wondered what it was. . . . Nice to see that the John Kostenbaders have put their farm land into preservation just like their neighbors, the Ray Groffs, up in Moore Township. It’s

a good way of slowing down all the housing developments that pop up here and there in the rural areas. . . . Latest word is that it’s the air compressor that has caused the big problem with the UCC church organ, so Sharon Schrantz will be using the piano for a while at least. Reckon age caught up with the organ, but it has been the sound of some great music over the years. . . .The late Alex Dettmer would have liked this. Bath had a Chamber of Commerce once that went away, but now Bath has seats on two organizations – LeBEAM (Lehigh, Bath, East Allen, and Moore) and the Nazareth-Bath Chamber of Commerce. We are getting more businesses in town, and I’m glad about that. There’s room for lots more! . . . . Congrats to the St. Paul’s team from Northampton for winning the dart baseball championship again! If I looked at the standings rightly, St. John’s from Bath will also be getting a trophy at the May 15th banquet. . . .Lehigh Valley has been getting on national TV a few times this year – Jeopardy, Millionaire, and now 20/20 – some good, some bad. . . .

Best of luck to the Northampton Area School District, now that the middle school project has finally gotten underway. . . .Elmira wants wall-to-wall carpet in the house. Reckon I’ll go along with that. Better than beating throw rugs all the time. Gotta catch up on my z-z-z-z’s for now. See ya next week!

Postal Carriers say Stamp Out Hunger!

Local members of the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 11, 2013, by collecting non-perishable food donations from their regular postal routes and delivering them to Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania for distribution to agencies serving area families in need in six counties. Letter Carriers will be aided by volunteers from Teamsters Local #773, the Rutgers Alumni Club of the Lehigh Valley, and the Northampton County Probation Department for this one day food drive event, the largest in the nation.

To participate in Stamp Out Hunger, postal customers should leave their factory-sealed, nonperishable food items in a visible place by their mailboxes before their regular delivery on Saturday, May 11th. Donations should be in a sturdy, clearly marked bag so Letter Carriers know to collect it. Truck drivers from the Postal Service and Teamsters Local #773 will then make a special delivery of the donations to Second Harvest Food Bank or one of its local member agencies, where it will be inspected and sorted for distribution to where it is so des-

perately needed.

Items most needed by Second Harvest include cereal, peanut butter, pasta, rice, tuna, and canned soup, fruits, or vegetables. Non-food items such as diapers and personal care items like shampoo, toothpaste, and deodorant can also be donated.

For safety reasons, non-glass containers are preferred.

In the week before the food drive, postal customers should receive a post card or specially marked paper bag announcing their area’s participation. If residents are unsure whether or not their Letter Carrier is participat-

May 2-8, 2013 3 ing, they should contact their local Post Office.

Last year, Letter Carriers delivered more than 370,000 pounds of food to Second Harvest and its member agencies breaking the previous year’s record collection. Donations provide a critical boost for Second Harvest in the summer months, a time when supplies are low and school breakfast and lunch programs are not available for area youth.

guess of many baseball writers and telecasters is that Texas will come on and by season’s end lead the American League West again.

As for Atlanta, the Braves can. look for strong competition within their division from Washington, which some pick to win not only the National East but the National League pennant. Colorado’s surprisingly strong start in the National West also impressed baseball fans; the Rockies won ten of their first fourteen games, the best record in the Majors after the super starts of Atlanta and Oakland.

But of all Major League teams, the best start in the first weeks was that of the Braves, comfortably on top of Washington, New York, Philadelphia and Miami after just weeks of play.

BASEBALL✷ ✷ ✷ One of the surprises of the young Major League baseball season is the starting win streak of the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta has long been a contender almost every year in the National League East but never has started the season with two weeks of play at 12-2 in the standings.

The other Major League team which had a 12-4 start was Oakland, a surprise like Atlanta. The

‘Iron Man’ Standing guard In Danielsville

By Joe Korba

If you’ve driven through Danielsville on Mountain View Drive you might have noticed a large, steel, robotlooking fellow standing watch across from the Danielsville Post Office. You probably recognize the stainless steel suit as the first manifestation of the Marvel Superhero Iron Man (the one who fought his way out of the kidnapper’s cave in the first film, and made his debut appearance in Jack Kirby’s Tales of Suspense #39, way back in 1963). The man behind the superhero suit isn’t international playboy billionaire Tony Stark, but rather Danielsville sculptor and artist Charlie Applegate.

Mr. Applegate has been working in various mediums for decades, including woodcarving, painting, and sculpture. His home and property are a testament to his hobby and passion for the arts. Accompanying Iron Man in his front yard is an abstract stainless steel horse sculpture, but most of Mr. Applegate’s work is more realistic and detailoriented. He has numerous nature-themed works including an exhaustively rendered eagle snatching a fish from a pond and even some sculptures of dinosaurs and an immaculate wooden statue based on the fantasy cryptid, a fire-breathing dragon.

The story behind the Iron Man suit is decidedly more common than the genesis in the comic book series. Mr. Applegate didn’t need to escape captors who were holding him hostage in the caves of Afghanistan, but was commissioned to create the suit for Joe’s Used Auto Parts in New Ringgold. “A woman called me up and asked me if I could build an Iron Man,” Mr. Applegate recalls.

It took Mr. Applegate over ten months, working on weekends, to complete the project.

Applegate’s Iron Man stands over six feet tall and weighs an estimated 300lbs. It’s truly an impressive work to behold and will be displayed in Danielsville for a few more weeks before being transported to it’s permanent home in New Ringgold.

Area Legislators Support Rights of Sportsmen & Women

Members of the Northampton County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs feel fortunate that they have the backing of two members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives when it comes to issues in outdoor sports.

Both Reps. Marcia Hahn and Julie Harhart have watched very closely when bills come up in the Legislature that may affect the rights of sportsmen when it comes to hunting, fishing, and firearms.

They’ve been with the House Game and Fisheries Committee and have supported the sportsmen and women very rigorously.

This past week we received a Sportsmen’s Newsletter from Rep. Harhart that covered a magnitude of things of interest to all of us, namely: Protecting Our Second Amendment Rights; a New Law That Gets Tough on Poachers; the Spring Gobbler Season; Permits Required to Use State Game Lands Rooting Ranges; Boating Legally in Pennsylvania; Fish for Free Days; reports on the bear and deer harvests of the past seasons; and the seasons and bag limits of the Pa. Game Commission for 2013.

Rep. Hahn also keeps the sportsmen informed and works with them when issues come up. She has had information sessions on Sunday hunting and other issues, and an aide usually attends meetings of the Federation to answer any questions that may arise.

MEMORY PROBLEMS – IS IT ALZHEIMER’S?

By FRANK DeROSA

The statistics say more than

5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease or less than 2% of all Americans. This fact amazes me as it is hard for me to imagine anyone who is read-

ing this that has not had a relative or friend that was affected by this disease. There are two known risk factors for developing the disease and they are age and genetics. However there are numerous studies out there suggesting that high cholesterol and hypertension may also contribute to the disease development, while things like green tea and extra virgin olive oil may help protect one’s body from developing it. At this point, none of this is certain, but what is certain is that early detection is a key. It not only allows the disease to be slowed in some but it also allows an individual to prepare and plan for what may become a very debilitating outcome.

In lay terms if you make a bad decision once in a while, you occasionally miss a monthly payment, you forget which day it is but remember later, you sometimes forget which word to use or you lose things from time to time you probably just have typical age-related changes. However, if you have generally poor judgment and decision making, you are unable to manage a budget, you lose track of the date or season, you have difficulty carrying on a conversation, or you misplace things and are unable to retrace the steps to find them you may have signs of Alzheimer’s/dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association has a lot of literature and information that describes the signs much better than I, so contact them or your doctor if you have concerns about yourself or someone you know. Please remember early detection is a key and hopefully someday soon a cure will be found.

103 Lehigh Elementary students Graduate in D.A.R.E. program

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Graduation ceremonies were held this past Wednesday for 103 sixth grade students who completed 12 weeks of D.A.R.E. education in Lehigh Elementary School. It was led

by Lehigh Twsp. Police Sgt. Michael P. McGonigle.

In remarks to the audience that filled the all-purpose room of the school for the 13th annual graduation, Sgt. McGonigle explained that the

program taught the children that the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs can often lead to violence. While they have freedom of rights, with that comes accountability and responsibility. He told the parents that the worse part of his job as a policeman is having to tell parents that their child is not coming home after an accident. He said it often starts with a peer challenge, “Watch this!”

In a program note, he said that when the students enter

A Razor Sharp Idea!!

Knocking your razor to the floor of your shower or tub and possibly stepping on it is something we should all try to avoid. Keep your razor from falling with this simple holder. Cut a 3” length of 1” PVC pipe with a handsaw. Cut two 1/8” wide notches in the pipe. Strap the pipe to your wire shower caddy with two plastic tie straps hooked in the notches.

Drop the razor into the pipe; the blade will catch on the edges of the pipe, keeping the razor off the floor.

middle school next year it will be both exciting and challenging, a time when they seek peer approval. Above all, they should never use drugs, and he advised the parents to be more involved with their children and to know who their friends are.

Chief of Police Scott Fogel commended the sergeant and said that he has done a phenomenal job in D.A.R.E. and it will make a difference. To the

students, he said, ”You will have to make a lot of decisions.

It is huge in how you live your life.”

Before announcing the top four students who wrote essays about what they learned, Jamie Busolits, regional president of Susquehanna Bank, thanked the township supervisors, police officers, and teachers. He urged the students to think and make right decisions.

Reading their essays were winners Cameron Giancaterino, Mason Taschler, Bailey Storm, and Abigail Piotrowski.

They received $25 gift cards and stuffed lions for their efforts.

The guest speaker for the program was David Crouse, Deputy Lehigh County Coroner. Noting that he deals with nothing but death – “You only have one life” – he told three stories of life-changing events.

One was a 16-year-old youth who got his driver’s license and on an errand for his mother lost control of his car and hit a tree, killing him.

Second was a 17-year-old boy who had friends in his car and they had beer. He ran a red light, his car hit another and two people were killed. The driver was sentenced to 7-14 years in prison because of DUI. The third incident involved one of Crouse’s neighbors, a 12-year-old bicycle rider.

Friends asked him to smoke marijuana. He finally consented, jumped off a wall with his bike, and was paralyzed for life, a prisoner within his own body.

After his talk, the students all received their D.A.R.E. graduation certificates from Sgt. McGonigle, 6th grade teacher

Nazareth Community Swimming Pool

Pool closing big Topic for Council

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Nazareth Borough Council chambers are expected to be packed with disappointed residents tonight when Council has its monthly workshop meeting. The reason? The planned closing of the community swimming pool, for an assortment of reasons, this summer and possibly until the year 2015.

The announcement was made two weeks ago by Council President Dan Chiavaroli when it was learned that a filtration system planned to replace one that had failed because of old age

could not be used. It did not fit, and if it did would possibly have destroyed the pipe system because of intense pressure.

The 18,000 sq. ft. pool was built in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.).

An architectural firm that the borough hired has said that the pool is too old and has outlived its usefulness.

A representative of Wallover Architects from Lancaster will provide a power point slide presentation at tonight’s 7 p.m. meeting further explaining the dilemma.

Ted Wallover, the firm’s own-

er, said the pool should be replaced entirely, and if so that could take two years.

Council will have options to discuss, including repair or replacement of the pool, all of which could cost many thousands of dollars.

Cement Worker Of Month

James Keefer Keystone Cement Company, Bath

By ED PANY

Mr. James Keefer was reared in Bath, one of 11 children, graduating from Northampton High School in 1972. He recalls, “I was in the construction class at Bethlehem VoTech. We built a home from the foundation to completion, learning all the aspects of construction under the excellent supervision of our instructors, Angelo Deanglis and Bob Keifer.”

“The course taught me skills I have used on my job and in constructing my own home.” Jim applied this training in working on stores at the Lehigh Valley and Westgate Malls, and the Easton 25th Street Shopping Center.

A lull in construction resulted in Jim being hired as a temporary summer employee at Keystone Cement in 1982.

His father Bertine was a 39year veteran at the plant.

He started as a laborer, but soon progressed into the maintenance department as a repairman apprentice. Old timers Richard Hartzell, Richard Funk and Bill Drauch shared their valuable experiences with him. This enabled Jim to qualify as a first class repairman. A very talented employee, his next position was versatile, working as a carpenter, welder and millwright.

In 1992, he moved to the electrical department. Presently, he is the shop millwright, utilizing a myriad of equipment from lathe to drill press. He said, “I fabricate parts needed in various sections at the plant from coal mills to clinker mills. I enjoy operating all the shop equipment and working on a variety of projects. There is great satisfaction when we safely complete a job.”

The shop is supervised by Mark Dlugos and Rodger Derr. The team holds weekly safety meetings updating the employees on any safety issues. Their objective is to see that the plant operates in a safe and efficient manner.

Mr. Keefer said,“I work with a group of great co-workers who exhibit both a sense of pride and community. Recently, Jim and fellow employees spent 32 hours at the plant during mega storm Sandy monitoring all the equipment.

The family has some interesting canine friends, a Great Dane, Leonberger and Swiss Burnese Mountain dog. They also have been active with the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue group.

Mr. Keefer feels cement has a bright future, as there are

Pastor’s Pastor’s Comments Comments

numerous projects needed to improve America from replacing old highways to new waste water plants. Jim is a friendly and amiable gentleman who is following in the foot steps of his father at the plant, a dedicated cement worker.

He is married to the former Doris Smale. Jim is proud of son Paul and daughter Holly.

The family especially enjoys camping. The friendly couple resides in Moore township. I congratulate Mr. Keefer on his 30 years of continuing service at Keystone and hope all my friends at the Plant will benefit from a growing economy which will stimulate our historic cement industry.

Church celebrates 50 years of Hand Bell choir ministry The premiere of a brand new hand bell composition

by L. Rick Hilborn for five octave hand bell choir, trumpets, timpani and organ will highlight worship services at St. John’s UCC Church, 183 S. Broad Street, Nazareth on Sunday, May 5. “Celebratory Fanfare” commemorates the church’s fifty years of hand bell choir ministry. Mr. Hilborn is an Assistant Director at the church and also the Director of St. John’s Ringers, who will perform the piece for the first time in worship services at 8:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. An added treat will be performances by former hand bell members in a Reunion Hand Bell Choir under the direction of the founding bell director, past Minister of Music Floyd Schlegel and music assistant Evelyn Kilpatrick.

St. John’s first hand bell choir was formed in March 1963, with thirteen ringers playing three octaves of bells.

Today the church boasts five hand bell choirs, involving over fifty ringers playing two sets of five octave hand bells and a set of three octave hand chimes. In addition to Mr. Hilborn, Cassandra Barnett also directs four of the hand bell choirs, several of which regularly travel into the community to supply music for other churches’ worship services

News Sermonette Ernie Seigfried

Christ UCC Littlemoore, Danielsville

When Life’s A Mess As the congregation and I were preparing for Easter worship and the celebration of the Lord’s resurrection, my thoughts ran to the number of times that my own life has been renewed by my Gracious Lord.

Then in the midst of those thoughts, my mind turned back to something I experienced last summer.

On that particular day, I was standing in a friend’s yard looking at a horrible mess. He was having an in-ground pool installed and his family was so excited thinking of the great times and fun ahead. But, that was not what I was looking at that day. The contractor had just finished digging the large hole in the lawn which at some point would be a beautiful pool. Now there were large piles of soil surrounding the hole. To make the scene even worse, heavy rain had been falling for two days and was converting those piles of ground into slithering mud and the mud water was running into the big hole.

It’s difficult to even imagine anything beautiful and useful when everything seems to be going wrong with the plan. The contractor’s encouraging words were doing nothing to stop the rain or the mud water. It was truly a mess.

But, things were about to change. Over the next several days, a warm sun quickly dried the ground piles and the muddy water was pumped from the unfinished swimming pool. Work resumed bringing renewed excitement and hope to the family.

If we think about it, our life might at times seem similar to my friend’s pool project. Life doesn’t always go as planned; life’s mud ruins things. It seems as though life will never again return to normal. Unexpected illness, an accident, loss of employment, marital difficulties; any of these and others can ruin our plans. Oh, when life is going along as planned, we all tend to put Christ on the back burner. Then when life seems to be too much to handle, we remember to turn to Christ.

Jesus knows our problems and pains. Remember, he’s walked the same steps. At the height of his agony and suffering, even Jesus cried out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me”? Of course, God had not left Jesus and he never leaves us, even in our most trying times. That’s a promise we can trust. That’s a plan nothing can ruin. Praise be to God! and to give concerts at area retirement communities and venues such as Christkindlmarkt.

District entered into an agreement with MetroTek to construct the array. When the issue came to Zoning Officer Laura Harrier, she believed it was not an accessory use, but a secondary principal use. Two hearings were held and the zoning board made a decision that neither party was correct. Under the zoning ordinance the zoning board said that solar energy shall be permitted in any zone, but to be an accessory use is subordinate and turned down MetroTek. The Kunkletown company filed an appeal and Commonwealth Court agreed, finding that solar energy shall be permitted in any zone.

Backenstoe said the zoning board can’t appeal the court decision, only the board of supervisors. An appeal of right could be done before the Supreme Court.

After Backensoes’ comments, Supervisors Chairman Darryl Snover made the motion to hire counsel. Though expected to cost $1,000 for an appeal, as one resident put it, it gives the township “a fighting chance” to win their argument. Backenstoe said they believe that MetroTek won’t sell energy to anyone other than for Lehigh Elementary School, but if MetroTek and the school district go forward with the project based on the Commonwealth Court decision, they would proceed at their own risk, and lose everything if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the township.

Snover said he had a dozen phone calls from people who said they felt the board should appeal.

Supervisor Cynthia Miller thanked the residents who called. She hoped that the residents go to the school board. “I don’t think it was right that the pressure was put on the municipality,” she said.

Supervisor Dell Grove remarked that Facebook is an organization of people who can put pressure on the school Continued on page 15

Crack-sealing initiative helps to Preserve borough of Bath roads

In April of this year thepublic works crew, at the direction of the Borough Council of the Borough of Bath and Mayor, applied crack-sealing material on numerous roads already rated in good condition in order to slow down the asphalt aging process. From the moment an asphalt road is paved, the road shortly thereafter begins to deteriorate due to the many forces at work against it, including freeze and thaw cycles, excessive moisture, oxidation from the sun, and heavy vehicle traffic.

Cracks in the road allow the water to infiltrate the subbase layers of asphalt and stone beneath the surface– eventually causing instances

of spalling, rutting, deep cracking and potholes. Filling and sealing cracks in the road surface is a cost-effective method of preserving roads that are still in good condition.

The Borough used a special blend of crack-sealing material approved by PennDOT to withstand temperatures as low as 20° below Fahrenheit; the material is also approved as a State Liquid Fuels-eligible expenditure.

The cost difference between maintaining a road rated in good condition versus the cost to reconstruct a road rated in poor condition can be as high as 3,500 percentsaving thousands of dollars thanks to this preventative maintenance.

Drug Drop Box A prescription drug drop box was on display at the meeting, and Police Chief Scott Fogel announced that Bechtel’s Pharmacy had donated $500 toward its purchase. The audience applauded as the supervisors thanked Jack Bechtel and the pharmacy. Chief Fogel said that the community can deposit their unwanted prescription medications in the box, no questions asked. It will be located in the police station lobby for drop-off access Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The police department also participated in the National Drug Take Back program this past Saturday at the Lehigh Twsp. Vol. Fire Dept. in Cherryville when residents dropped off their unwanted or expired prescription drugs. Chief Fogel told the board on Tuesday that prescription drugs are often being abused by children 12 to 17 years of age. Chief Fogel also reported a break-in burglary that occurred on April 17. Police have a sketch shown on a link of Facebook of a suspect who is white, 5 ft. 10 in. tall, and about 25 years of age. He urged residents to keep on the look-out for anything suspicious, and to call police if they do. If there is a break-in and you’re home, protect yourself first.

• Township Manager Alice Rehrig announced the resignation of Rhonda Wenner from the recreation board.

• Final plan approval was given the lot line adjustment for David H. Jones and Agape Faith Ministries. The board also approved a sewage planning module for another person.

tence and tradition of excellence of the Pa. State Police, 94 enlisted members offered their lives in the call of duty.

The Troop M Bethlehem Memorial Day celebration, in part, was dedicated to those members who have made them ultimate sacrifice.

Troop M Bethlehem headquarters, located at the intersection of Airport Road and Rt. 22, celebrated this historic event with a formal ceremony.

It included the recognition of the Area Trooper of the Year, the Troop M Trooper of the Year, and the Troop M leaders in DUI and DRB arrests in 2012.

Keeping with tradition several other troop commander’s letters of commendation were issued to personnel assigned to Troop M. Memorial remarks were given by the Troop M Commanding Officer Captain William A. Teper, Jr., followed by a reading of the names of the 94 enlisted members who have perished in the line of duty. The Troop M chaplain offered a prayer of remembrance for those lost.

The Extra Rule

Do something every day to make other people happy, even if it’s only to let them alone.
