East Allen joins NIZ suit By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
THEY’RE OFF! Runners and walkers are shown at the start of the second annual Revitalization 5K Run/Walk on Saturday. It began and ended at Bath Firefighters Park. Perfect weather conditions made it a fun time. The event benefited the Bath Borough Business Partnership revitalization program and the Bath 275th Anniversary. – Home News photos
Informed by their solicitor Joseph Leeson that the court has set a deadline of Monday, April 30, 2012 to join a lawsuit over the constitutionality of a Neighborhood Improvement Zone for the City of Allentown, East Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors on Thursday voted to join the action. Leeson said he hasn’t been able to find out what impact there would be on loss of earned income taxes to East Allen for township workers in the city’s 130-acre zone. He told the board that the only information he’s been able to gather has come on line, so he considered it hearsay. But what the supervisors heard was enough for them to make the decision they did. Atty. Leeson said as many as 460 municipalities could be affected by the state law, which gave Allentown its
NIZ, and it amounts to public funding for private construction. Every person who works in the buildings that are plannerd would have their earned income taxes taken for the ice hockey arena and corporate buildings planned around it at 7th & Hamilton Streets.
-----------------------“Without that we would need to tack on four mills of taxes.”
-Twsp. Mngr. Debbie Seiple
-----------------------
Negotiations are going on now to settle with Hanover and Bethlehem townships in Northampton County, and Leeson said the settlement would affect those who are a part of the suit. Township Manager Debbie Seiple said, “Nobody’s giving us any answers. They could pull in money for the next 30 years.” She said East Allen brings
in $560,000 to $600,000 annually in earned income taxes. “Without that we would need to tack on four mills of taxes.” She added, “They’re taking our money to take our people away from us,” (referring to the lower rentals for businesses in the corporate portion of the 130 acres). Supervisor Roger Unangst said, “I don’t like the precedent set, and I don’t like going into a lawsuit.” [He would later make the motion that moved the township into the legal action.] Mrs. Seiple said that in reality Allentown has been getting .35% EIT money since 2010 from people who work there. She noted that Hanover and Bethlehem townships didn’t vote last week on anything, and will not until after May 6. Leeson commented, “Allentown has really gone out Continued on page 9

A Lehigh Township man was killed Tuesday evening, April 24, when his 2002 Chevrolet pick-up truck left the roadway and slammed into a tree in a tributary stream of the Monocacy Creek in Bath. Kerry J. Queen, 20, of Blue Mountain Drive, Danielsville was pronounced dead at the scene by personnel from the Northampton County coroner’s office. The accident happened shortly after 6 p.m. along Race St. (Rt. 987) between Mill St. & Green St. at Keystone Park. Once a flowing stream, it is filled with trees and brush. Colonial Regional Police, Bath Firefighters and Ambulance responded. Traffic was detoured away from Race Street by fire police. The cause of the crash is under investigation by CRPD.

Opinion The End of Primary Season
By Joe Korba Finally, the protracted, endless GOP primary race is, for the most part, over. Sure, Ron Paul is pugnacious as ever and running as a strictconstitutionalist, libertarian insurgent. The good doctor from Texas doesn’t have a chance, mathematically or financially, at winning the GOP nomination. But, as always, Paul seems to enjoy using the political process to spread his message of laissez-faire economics, isolationist foreign policy and strong state’s rights. I’m sure he’ll continue needling Romney for his lack of conservative credentials throughout the race. The main event has been decided. It’s, almost certainly,
going to be the former Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney, versus incumbent democrat President Barack Obama. The real, no holds barred brawl is going to be between the conservative and liberal Super PACs. These political action committees became huge players in the electoral process after a 2010

Supreme Court Decision allowed people and corporations to funnel unlimited funds towards a candidate. The PACs are technically autonomous organizations, independent of the official campaign. As we’ve seen in the primary, PAC contributions have allowed the candidates to distance themselves from inflammatory attack ads and other rhetoric that would hurt them if it were officially endorsed. So, it’s sure to get ugly now that the nominee is chosen and the candidates are already beginning to define their narratives. With an ailing economy, unemployment still well above 8% in many places, and most Americans struggling to get by, they’ll attempt to polarize the electorate. Romney will be painted as a member of the 1%, an elitist who won’t tax millionaires at the expense of the middle class and working poor, creating a Dickensian class division. Obama is going to be cast as out of touch with the American people, stoking the fires of class division through his support of the Occupy movement and the divisive Affordable Healthcare Act. Not to mention the outrageous tacit implications about these candidates regarding their respective religious affiliations and national origins. In this election subjects that were once taboo are now part of the discourse, fair game for pundits and demagogues. In a time when the nation needs an uplifting, positive message the 2012 campaign will, most likely, be mired in negativity and divisive rhetoric. We, as citizens, have a responsibility to look beyond the petty and the sensationalized. We have to base our votes on truth and facts, look at the candidates’ voting records, what they have said and done, the content of their character. Form your own opinions, don’t let outside influence crystallize your important vote. We mustn’t fall victim to the cultural hegemony that the 24-hour news cycle promotes. The fundamental belief, politics aside, that most everyone wants what is best for their family, friends and neighbors is the ideal we need to base our votes upon.

It’s been a cool spring so far, but with the sun shining again over the weekend the weather was great for the 5K run/walk in Bath and the St. Luke’s Half Marathon on Sunday. Congrats to all the participants, and especially the winners. I didn’t hear who the top winners were, but they put a lotta effort into it, stretching their muscles and getting in condition before they even start out. They had a route that took ‘em on a big part of Bath, with stops for water, and folks in light color vests were there to protect them from traffic. The Bath ambulance crew was ready for anything, and the police did a fine job also. Hats off to the folks who organized the walk/run. They all did a great job!! Even the youngster in a stroller enjoyed it, as his Mom pushed him along. . . . Over in Allentown, the winner was Tyler McCandless, a
Moore Township native who now lives in Boulder, Colorado. I read in the paper, where his Mom, shouted “Go, Tyler!” like she did when he ran track for Northampton High School. His grandmother, Myrtle McCandless was no doubt cheering for him too. And his granddad, Ralph McCandless, was probably smiling down from Heaven for Tyler. . . . Just in case you’re wondering – the burn ban is still on. We had a soaking rain for a short time, but it wasn’t enough to call off the ban. So be careful, and don’t burn any trash, even if it’s in a barrel or outdoor fireplace. . . . It’s hard to believe that a fatal accident could happen right in town. But it did last week, when a pickup truck went straight ahead off a curve in Race Street, and down into that grove of trees growing alongside the park on Green Street. Our sympathies to the family
of the accident victim, a young man from up in Danielsville. . . . Congrats to young Jonathan Fehnel, who received his Eagle Scout badge at a court of honor Saturday afternoon up at Little Moore Church. It takes a lotta hard work to earn that rank, and he deserves a pat on his back!! I know Marie is really happy about it. . . . I hear Dale Miller from over at Ace Hardware will be getting the Good Scout Award early this Thursday morning at a Minsi Trails Council Cement Belt breakfast over at the BarnHouse. Hats off to Dale!! . . . . Looks like the dart ball teams from both St. John’s and Christ Church in town will be getting trophies at the annual awards dinner next week, if I read the standings right that were in the paper a couple weeks back. Their teams have been throwing darts a long, long time, as far back as 1954 or 1955 if I recollect rightly. . . .I hear ground will be broken soon for the gazebo that’s gonna be built over at the park. Maybe it would be best to have the gazebo and take down the

Dent Statement on Student Loan Rates
U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent (PA15) this week issued the follow-
ing statement after voting for legislation that will prevent student loan rates from doubling on July 1, 2012. “With our economy still in the process of recovering, it was imperative Congress develop a responsible strategy to keep student loan rates low. As a former board member of the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), I often spoke with recent college graduates about being on the verge of delinquency and approaching default on loan payments. Their stories were distressing and an increasing number of
May 3-9, 2012
young Americans are falling into similar situations. If Washington allowed rates to double in the midst of an economic downturn, far too many students would face greater difficulty in managing their debt after graduation. “Preventing the doubling of rates on July 1, 2012, was a goal shared by Republicans and Democrats. However, using a tax increase on American small businesses to finance the extension of current loan rates, as President Obama and Democratic leaders of the U.S. Senate have proposed, would be counterproductive. Increasing taxes on job creators would temper much-needed economic growth, limiting job opportunities for ambitious young Americans. Rather than embracing this illadvised approach, the House voted to extend the current 3.4% student loan rate for an additional year in a manner that will not impede job creation. Ultimately, the best way for Washington to help American students succeed is to foster a healthy economic climate in which graduates can pursue high-quality, sustainable careers.”

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
Over the Years
Dear Friends, Over the many years, I have had the pleasure and honor of reaching thousands of people. Whether through personal contact, telephone consultations, seminars, our Natural Perspectives™ news columns right here in the Home News, or our widely read Natural Perspectives™ e-letter, this relevant information is making a difference as I have always hoped it would. I am still amazed and stand in awe of the healing potential that exists within each and every one of us. Through the combination of chiropractic adjusting, natural remedies, and lifestyle modifications, dis-ease just doesn’t stand a chance! This month is a milestone for us as we celebrate the beginning of our ninth year in relationship with the Home News as we continue to write our Natural Perspectives™
column. In the early days, it was known as “Ask Dr. Clearie”. As the years went on we broadened our scope and the name changed to “To Your Health”. Delving much deeper into the intricacies of natural human health, the non-medical approaches to living a well-balanced life, and the holistic viewpoint has developed us to our name today, “Natural Perspectives™”. It is my hope that you take to heart the health information that I seek to convey. We want to help all the people we can. All these community outreach platforms that we utilize are a labor of love for me and my incredibly supportive staff. It takes an effort and consistency that not many see. I am thankful for those who believe in our cause as much as I do. I ask for only one thing in return and that is that you would pass this information to other individuals that

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ Fines and suspensions imposed on coaches of the New Orleans Saints (NFL) are not seen as adequate by many football fans. A coach who instructs players to intentionally injure opposing players is guilty of a serious crime--as in real life as well as sports. Instead of a suspension of
months or a year, coaches who are guilty of this crime should be banned from the game for life. That is probably the only way to prevent coaches in the future from taking a chance teaching the same tactic with promises not to reveal what the coach said. Permanent injuries in American football have long been excessive, with fans clapping as the perhaps permanently injured player is carted off the field. Until now these injuries were assumed to have been caused by the violent nature of the game. Now that it’s known coaches have been advocating intentional injuries to get good opposing players out of the game, penalties should be such that no coach will risk his career advocating intentional injuries to opposing players

Petersville R&G Club treats Dream Come True to fishing
The weather was perfect and the trout were biting. It was a wonderful day as the Petersville Rod & Gun Club held their second annual fishing event on Saturday, April 28.
Arranged by Paul Druckenmiller, Sr., with the help of many of the club members on the fish committee, everyone had lunch first and then spent the rest of the afternoon casting their lines in the club’s

lake and pulling in rainbow and tiger trout until each of the children had their limit of five trout. Last year, the group fished first, and then had lunch. The committee changed that, and it worked out better, feasting first on turkey barbecue, hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza, so they could spend more time fishing. “It’s great to see their smiling faces when they catch a fish,” Druckenmiller said. A total of 345 trout that ranged from 11 to 22 inches were stocked earlier in the week, and it didn’t take long until the trout were caught by the youngsters and then netted by club members. Druckenmiller estimated that there may have been as many as 800 trout in the waters, because quite a few were left over from a recent fishing contest, along with others that had been in the lake since last year. Power bait did the trick and all along the shoreline the Dream Come True kids were pulling them in and filling their stringers. Members brought their own fishing poles for the kids to use, and the bait was provided by the club. Trophies were awarded to all, something they could cherish, along with the memories of a great day of fishing.
Selina brought in a big trout, one of the 345 that were stocked.

Even if a lawsuit is settled, others could be entered.” Buildings have been torn down and the city hoped to get a bond issue to finance construction so the Philadelphia Phantoms could begin their hockey season in September 2013. The solicitor gave the board a choice: they could pass a resolution giving their moral support, or join the suit. Gov. Tom Corbett is expected to lend his voice in support of the law. Leeson gave the board a quote from Mark Twain: “No man’s property is safe while the legislature is in session.” Mrs. Seiple said she spoke to Rep. Marcia Hahn about the dilemma. Senator Pat Browne, who authored the NIZ bill, has an office in the East Allen Twsp. municipal building, and she said that may go. Other Matters • The board approved a low bid of $85,550 by Bi-State Construction Co., Inc. of

Easton to repair the Jacksonville Road bridge. Two other bids were for $173,055 and $139,785. Engineer Jim Birdsall said it will still be an old bridge after the work is done. With not a lot of funds available for the project, he said, “We’re doing the minimum.” Work will start after schools recess for summer vacation and end when schools reopen in September. • A letter from Norfolk Southern Railway indicated they will be doing work at the east end of Main St., Bath at Township Line Road. • It was noted that the Northampton County real estate assessment for Imperial Realty Property Group, LLC has been reduced from $1,522,200 to $1,207,980. • Three resolutions were passed concerning High Mark health insurance, with a fourth on the manager’s job description for security officer and privacy officer responsibilities that includes Mrs. Seiple and Rose Wedde as back-up. • It was emphasized that the no burning ban includes all of Northampton County,

She wanted seven persons and got John McDevitt, Roger Unangst, Chris Colitas, Donald Heiney and engineer Birdsall to join her, still needing a person from the fire company and ambulance corps. • In public comment, Joann Yurkonic said her property is adjacent to Keystone Rod & Gun Club, and she is concerned about the shooting range open at night. She noted 9:30 p.m., and it was believed the club can have shooting until 10 p.m. She said she talked with club president John Keglovits about the situation, but still asked the board what can be done about it. Leeson sad the township can’t do anything if there’s no ordinance violation. Otherwise, it would be a neighbor-to-neighbor problem. Ms. Yurkonic said a neighbor suggested taking decibel readings, but that is difficult with shotguns.

opposes. None of them were from Northampton County, however. • Township Manager Alice Rehrig reported that Hanover Engineering noted three kinds of pipes for road projects that will need DEP approval: hickory, chestnut, and ironwood. • The township will pay copay for the road crew personnel with CDL licenses, so that they get a card to carry even if not on the job and will have coverage. Workshop Questions Supervisor Cynthia Miller said with a light agenda at workshop meetings, she prepared a list of questions that the supervisors could consider in order to have a good working relationship in the township. At the same time, the few persons in the audience could provide their own ideas. These are the questions she listed: As a township, what should we keep doing? – Keep taxes as low as possible – Keep providing services / police – Find ways to improve the budget – Maintain rural environment of the township (a resident’s suggestion) What should we stop doing? – State push on unfunded mandates
– Make do What should we start doing? – Look through the code book to see what are business unfriendly / private property rights – Develop plans and implement them – Clean up eyesores – Improve technology with documents – Look for commercial development opportunities – Find corporate/individual sponsorships for parks – More funding opportunities – Supervisors work better together

Good Scout Award Presented to Dr. Lesky By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
The presentation of the Good Scout Award highlighted the fourth annual Slate Belt-Nazareth Friends of Scouting Breakfast on Friday morning in Kortz Hall of Moravian Hall Square. Receiving the award from the Forks of the Delaware District was Dr. Victor Lesky, Nazareth Area School District Superintendent of Schools, and a veteran educator of 37 years. Taking part in the presentation were associates of his, Dennis Riker and Michael Roth. Power point slides were shown of his life, growing up and displaying his intense interest in bringing good education to the students of
Nazareth Area. As each photo of Dr. Lesky was shown, they pointed out his many attributes, including that he is friendly, courteous, reverent, helpful, thrifty, loyal, cheerful, trustworthy, and many others, some of which were humorous in nature. He was called the “rock” within the school district. In accepting the award, Dr. Lesky noted that 85 to 92% of the students who graduate from Nazareth go on to higher learning. And in the popular “Scholastic Scrimmage” program, Nazareth beat Parkland. “Knowledge with character equals success,” he asserted. Dr. Lesky has been a long time supporter of the scouting programs in the Lehigh
Valley, and was chosen for the award for his outstanding community service. He also received special recognition in a citation from the Pa. House of Representatives, read to him by State Rep. Joseph Emrick. The breakfast program, attended by many business and community leaders , was opened as members of Boy Scout Troop #78, sponsored by St. John’s U.C.C. Church, recited the Scout Law. Committee chairman Jim Hunter introduced a Life Scout from Troop 74 at Bushkill United Methodist Church, Sam Miller who told the audience what scouting teaches and how it has influenced his life for the good. He cited an openness to learn, leadership responsibilities, the experience of camping and other outdoor activities, and trips that were made, in-

The 17-year-old scout is working on a flagpole project in Bushkill Township with others that will lead him to Eagle rank. Young Miller is in the high school orchestra and is a member of the National Honor Society. As an example that was noted, such is the character value of Eagle Scouts that when two persons apply for a job and one has received that high rank in scouting, he is the one chosen. Craig Poland, Scout Executive and CEO of Minsi Trails Council, BSA, reported that $9,000 was raised at the breakfast for the scouting program. He, too, asserted that scouting is relevant, and that character, leadership and achievement are the most important part of it. Poland reported that last year 45,000 hours of community service were performed by Eagle Scouts from
Minsi Trails Council. “Scouts have an impact on the community,” he said.

Parental Pampering The snow-covered field outside my office window this m“Parental Pampering” I asked a class of students to describe qualities their grandparents possessed. They mentioned, “loving,” “caring,” -- all words ending in “ing.” Then one student said, “Can you say, ‘spoiling?’” You sure can! Spoiling the grandchildren is one of the great blessings grandparents offer them. Ask any grandparent and they beam with joy and pride over their grandchildren, and state, with pride, how much they spoil them. This is the approach our heavenly father has toward us. He lavishes his love on us and calls us his children. (1 John 3:1). God doesn’t hold back his love. He loves the children, the one caught in a battle with addictions, the lame and the blind, the sick and the dying, the hungry and the hurting, the lost and the hopeless. What does God’s love look like? God gives us grace when we don’t deserve it. God’s love never fails us. God gives us full pay for only a partial day’s/lifetime’s efforts. God loves us while we are still sinners. God throws a party when we finally arrive home, well after our curfew, after we have squandered all his blessings. God loves us so much he sent his only son to live with us and die for us. God’s love gives you a hope and a future. God loves reveals divine parental pampering. Gotta love it! Walk in God’s favor and blessings today. Enjoy the Lord’s fellowship. Bask in God’s love. Be immersed in God’s grace. Realize the Lord watches over your coming and going, every moment of every day, for all the years of your life. Feel pampered today by the God who lavishes his love on you. $1,000 donation to Turning Point of Lehigh Valley. Elvin Berndt of Verizon Wireless presented the check on behalf of the HopeLine by Verizon program to John Toner, Development Director of Turning Point of Lehigh Valley at the St. John’s Lutheran Church of Farmersville in Easton.
Verizon Wireless also honored members of the St. John’s youth group with HopeLine Hero awards for their contributions to the HopeLine program. The youth group hosted a HopeLine collection drive as a part of their “Give Back to My Community” initiative and donated 600 phones to the program.

June 6, 1924 – April 26, 2012 Anthony E. “Tony” Wolfel, 87, formerly of Nazareth, died Thursday, April 26 in Reading. He was the husband of the late Matilda “Tillie” (Heidenwolf) Wolfel, who died Sept. 19, 2010. He worked at the former Dixie Cup in Easton for 39 years, and had served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. Born June 6, 1924 in Northampton, he was a son of the late Paul and Mary (Stanz) Wolfel. He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church, Nazareth, and a life member of both the Holy Family Club and the American Legion. He was a co-founder of the Holy Family Athletic Assn., and a
Holy Family Club Business League bowler. Surviving are two sons, James of Wyomissing and Glenn of Aurora, Colo.; a brother, Edward, of Denver, Colo.; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Preceding him in death were sisters Mary Grossbauer, Rose Wetzel, Anna Zwickl; brothers John, Paul, Joseph, Louis, Frank and Luke Wolfel. Services were held on Tuesday morning in the Reichel Funeral Home, Nazareth, followed by a Mass of Christian Burial in Holy Family Church, and interment in the Holy Family Cemetery, Nazareth. Donations may be made to Holy Family School, c/o the funeral home at 220 Washington Park, Nazareth, PA 18064.
Correction:
In the obituary of Hilda Steier of Nazareth, who died April 17, 2012, the name of her son, John Steier, was missed. In addition, the spelling of a sister’s name was incorrect. It should have been Tecla Grzybek, of Florida. The Home News regrets the error.

State of the Center Address
Dear friends and supporters of the Nazareth Center for the Arts, we are back! After being down for the month of April for renovations and improvements, we are ready to roll once again bringing the community a schedule of events that promises to be fun and exciting for all. With our new state of the art track lighting system in the concert hall / gallery, a relaxed ambiance and more professional look will set the mood for performances and exhibitions. As we continue to evolve as a community art center, arts education plays a key role on our agenda. Currently, we offer summer classes and workshops in both art and acting. Stay tuned as we plan to expand upon this list to offer more of a variety. Moving forward, our mission remains the same. To educate, inspire, and celebrate the visual and performing arts within the community. Please come on out and support the arts in your community by stopping in and enjoying the events we have planned for May. Information is the key to success. Visit our new and improved website at http:// www.nazaretharts.com for more detailed information on events and happenings at the center. Please contact us via email with any suggestions or comments.

Once a club schedules a junior hunt, it can submit the information for posting on the Game Commission’s online “Special Hunts” calendar, which enables those looking to participate in special hunts to locate and register on-line for an opportunity near them. Clubs that want to have their junior hunt advertised in the “Special Hunts” calendar should contact Samantha Pedder, Game Commission Outreach Coordinator, at sapedder@pa.gov, or at 717787-4250 (ext. 3327). “Real-time registration information of how many participants are signed up is one benefit to clubs having their event included in the ‘Special Hunts’ calendar, in addition to reaching more potential participants,” Pedder said.

THE HOME NEWS To bolster participation in the junior pheasant hunt, the Game Commission again plans to stock pheasants just prior to this special season. For the 2012 hunt, the agency will release 15,000 birds on lands open to public hunting. These areas will be identified in the 2012-2013 Pennsylvania Digest of Hunting and Trapping Regulations, as well as in future Game Commission news releases and on the agency’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us). Additionally, the Game Commission will provide, free of charge, a limited number of pheasants to those clubs that host a junior pheasant hunt. Applications must be received by July 22, and the only two stipulations to be eligible are that clubs must have registration open to the public and the hunt must be held on lands open to public hunting. To participate in these junior hunts, youngsters must be 12 to 16 years of age, and must have successfully completed a basic HunterTrapper Education course. As required by law, an adult must accompany the young hunters. Participating hunters do not need to purchase a junior hunting license to take part in the junior hunt, but all participants must comply with the mandatory fluorescent orange requirements established for the season. Based on previous surveys of junior pheasant hunt participants, about half of the juniors successfully bag game; a male relative had accompanied most of them; the majority of participants were between the ages of 12 and 14; and many of them intend to hunt again. The agency also received many positive com-

Area Agency on Aging honors Those who care For others The Advisory Council of the Northampton County Area Agency on Aging this Thursday, May 3 honored ten older adult residents, and one group, who have contributed their time and talents for the benefit of others in the community. The “Outstanding Seniors Awards” Program was held at the Wesley United Methodist Church, Bethlehem. Nancy Stott, Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council President, said that May has been designated as Older Americans Month since 1963. “The Area Agency on Aging, under the leadership of its’ Advisory Council, believes it is very fitting to recognize the older adults who have helped to make our community what it is today, and to provide an example for future generations to follow.” The Northampton County Area Agency on Aging is that part of County government which exists to maintain and enhance the independence and dignity of adults age sixty and over. John R. Mehler, Area Agency on Aging Administrator, noted, that at the ceremony, was initiated by the Area Agency on Aging in 2004, Short essays which highlight each person’s passion for helping others, whether by outreach, personal action, public service, or sharing of time and talents, were shared with the public as a means of recognizing the contributions of those being honored.

Jessica M. Aguirro, 29, of 255 Washington St., Phillipsburg, was taken into custody by Colonial Regional Police on Tuesday, April 24. At approximately 8:25 p.m., she attempted to steal $593.73 worth of groceries, clothing and household items from the Wal-Mart located at 3722 Easton-Nazareth Highway in the Northampton Crossings mall. She was charged with retail theft.
Bad Check Arrest Of Hanover Tp. Man
Colonial Regional Police charged Victor F. Berkey, 50, of 2625 Jacksonville Rd., Bethlehem with bad checks, theft by deception and receiving stolen property on April 26. He was arraigned in front of
District Judge James Narlesky, who set bail at $10,000 unsecured bail. In his report, Detective Gary Hammer said that police alleged that Berkey deposited a check into his KNBT account for $9,400 that was drawn from an account he had with Wells Fargo Bank. It was further alleged that Berkey obtained $7,455.36 from KNBT until the first check for $9,400 was returned to KNBT for insufficient funds.
Two Incidents Of D.U.I. Drivers
On April 14 at 2:44 a.m., Colonial Regional Police made a traffic stop on a gold Nissan Maxima for not having any tail lights. While officers spoke to the driver, identified as Robert White III, 34, of 7th St., Easton, the odor of alcohol was detected, as well as bloodshot eyes. White failed field sobriety tests and was taken
to the Bethlehem DUI Center for a legal blood draw. The reading was 0.11%. Charges were filed through DJ James Narlesky’s office. On April 15 at 2:34 a.m., a CRPD patrolman was monitoring traffic in the area of Rt. 512 and Rt. 22. The officer heard what sounded like a vehicle accident and saw a car’s headlights bounce as though the vehicle struck something. The car then sped off. The officer stopped it and then spoke to the driver, identified as Nathan Meixsell, 36, of Beth-Bath Pike, Bath. As the officer spoke to him, Meixsell said, “You got me, you got me.” When the officer asked him what he meant by that Meixsell replied, “I’m DUI. You got me.” Meixsell related that he struck the median strip in the middle of the road to turn around. The officer saw anti-freeze leaking from the underside of Meixsell’s car. The officer then smelled alcohol on the driver’s breath and saw his bloodshot, glassy eyes. Meixsell was unsteady on his feet when he got out of the car. He failed field sobriety tests and was taken to the Bethlehem DUI Center for further testing and a legal blood draw. His blood alcohol content was 0.26%, more than three time the legal limit. Charges were filed through DJ Narlesky’s office.

Rt. 248 Accident Injures Two Persons
On Wednesday, April 25, at approximately 4:23 p.m., Northampton County Emergency Communications Center received a call about a two-vehicle crash on Lehigh Drive (Rt. 248) between Cherryville and Pennsville. The caller reported one person trapped in a vehicle and it was on fire. Motorists who had stopped to render aid were able to remove Aaron Krause, 29, of Pennsville in Lehigh Township from his 1992 GMC 1500 pick-up truck. Other motorists were able to use extinguishers to put out the fire. Northampton County Emergency Communications Center dispatched Lehigh Township Police Dept., Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Dept., Northampton Regional EMS and PennStar medical helicopter. Preliminary investigation revealed a grey 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, driven by Tyrone Johnson, 27, of Northampton (Lehigh Township) was traveling west on Rt. 248, and his vehicle crossed the center line, striking Krause’s vehicle in the eastbound lane. Johnson had to be freed from his car by rescuers from the Lehigh Township Vol. Fire Co., using a Jaws of Life. Both Krause and Johnson were flown to St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill by the PennStar helicopter. The investigation is continuing. Anyone witnessing the crash is asked to contact Lehigh
Township Police Department at 610-760-8800. Traffic was detoured away from the accident scene until crews cleaned up the road and the injured men were given preliminary treatment by EMS personnel. Lehigh Township Police responded to another accident on Wednesday at 6:25 at Mountainview Dr. & Dogwood Rd. That also required closing Mountainview Dr. to traffic. Details were not available.
