Masons welcome Washington At their 143rd annual banquet

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Manoquesy Lodge #413, Free & Accepted Masons in Bath, celebrated their 143rd annual banquet on Friday night at the BarnHouse Village in East Allen Township.

The evening featured a memorial service for four members who died this past year; a review of the many public accomplishments by the lodge, and a visit and speech

by General George Washington, the nation’s first president.

Remembered in a ceremony with candles were the late William F. Rothrock, Charles H. Beynon, Grant W. Roth, and Paul D. Kellow.

Worshipful Master Peter A. Gigliotti listed numerous things the lodge has done this year in his administration, including: a blood drive in which 28 units were collected saving 84 lives; the C.H.I.P. identification program for day care pupils; hoagie sales; a lodge picnic; basket bingo; golf tournament; a bus trip to the Grand Lodge in Philadelphia; helping Animals in Distress, and having Francis Scott Key at a meeting.

Profits made in the fundraisers, Gigliotti said, will be split between the Scottish Rite Learning Center and the

“Masons, through these projects,” Gigliotti said, “Have helped a lot of people.”

General Washington, portrayed by an actor from Philadelphia who has appeared at the White House, and many other national events, told of his life and the historical events in which he was a part.

He noted that for 150 years this nation and its colonists governed themselves, but 11 years after Washington was born Britain’s king tried to strip the colonists of all their money and possessions. They resisted, and eventually there was the Boston massacre and tea party, and the Revolutionary War. Although starting out as a surveyor, Washington eventually went into the army as a young man and was raised through the ranks until he became commander-in-chief.

“We are the only country in the world,” he said, “not under control of a king or dictatorial monarch,” adding, “We can accomplish anything so long as we set Continued on page 12

Bath Borough Council had an extraordinary amount of business on their docket at Monday night’s monthly meeting. It included plans for a senior citizen development at Bath View Condominiums; a record of accomplishments by the Bath Business & Community Partnership, and problems to a homeowner that may involve a nearby development’s retention basin.

Linda Roth and Mary Kositz of the BBCP noted 960 volunteer hours spent activities on such as the revitalization 5K run, farmers market, the duck race, and a candy sale in 2011. But while they’ve received $639 from fund-raisers, and LV EDC and Chamber grants, the organization

needs additional support from the borough.

Among their objectives: a fully funded Bath business directory, phase one of Keystone Park improvements, and to seek and obtain grant funding for projects that will help strengthen the local economy as well as draw attention to exiting businesses and marketing the community for new businesses.

They are planning events similar to 2011, one of which is the Nov. 27 Christmas tree lighting ceremony, and hopefully the Bath Community Day that this year was cancelled because of wet grounds from heavy rains.

Their total projected commitment for 2012 is $30,450.

BBCP’s 5-K run on April 28, 2012 was approved.

Senior Housing

Chris Gigliotti, Bi-County Housing Coordinator of the Community Action Committee of Lehigh Valley, brought a proposal for senior housing at Bath View Apartments in a county partnership. The developer explained what their firm has done for 35 years, and would manage the property. Intended are apartments for 55 and older persons in 42 apartments that would have a smaller footprint than the present Bath View Condominiums.

The men noted all the facilities that would be available for the seniors, including a physician’s office, beauty parlor and community room.

Prices noted would be affordable, but Councilman Joseph

Linsenmann encouraged havContinued on page 7

Moore Twsp. continues Its farms commitment

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors this past Tuesday approved a $700,000 commitment for the 2012 farmland preservation program. Another $891,000 left from this year will go to new farms that are being appraised now, keeping them from being developed.

Two farms were picked up by the county. Chairman Glenn Shoemaker of the farmlands preservation committee said he believes the program will be the same in 2012 as it has been in 2011.

Agriculture security was approved for the properties of Edward and Margaret Weinhofer and Wilson and Barbara Gum. Secretary-treasurer Richard Gable had wanted the commitment at only $500,000 and was the only dissenting vote, as Supervisors Maynard Campbell and Louis Cacciola went with the $700,000.

Shoemaker said there are two uses for earned income tax money, noting, “It’s impossible to lose the money if you commit to the county.”

Moore Township is the quickest in replenishing E.I.T. money, he said. $1,355,000 has been spent to save three farms from development, at $5,000 an acre.

Other townships such as Plainfield and Upper Mt. Bethel have committed

$1-million. Allen Township, at this Tuesday’s election, asked voters to approve a quarter of one percent earned income tax for open space.

Edwin Keller said now is a good time to get money matched.

Bridge Replacement Representatives of PennDOT explained to the board and audience about plans to replace the superstructure of the S. Hoch Road bridge. Work will last from June to August of 2012 and a detour will take motorists east on Mountainview Dr.,

north on Delps Rd., and west on Scenic Drive.

In answer to a question

by Gordon Derhammer, a PennDOT spokesman said that the flood plain is south of the bridge. He was concerned about flooding.

Other Matters • Preliminary site plan approval was given to lot five of the 512 Industrial Park for Lee Goldstein. He was concerned about the roadway in the commercial development, but the board said it has been Continued on page 13

The BBCP will be putting together a 2012 Guide to Historic Bath and Surrounding Areas this fall. We are inviting shops, businesses, services, physicians, food services, churches and museums all to be a part of this brochure. It will be an 11” X 17” folded brochure which will include pertinent information about your business or enterprise plus a 2012 calendar of events. With the Bath 275th Anniversary on the horizon what better time to showcase all that Bath and its surrounding areas have to offer. We plan to print and distribute 7,500 brochures.

What will you have to pay to be in this 12-panel brochure? Nothing, because we applied for and were awarded a grant this year by the Main Street Lehigh Valley Founda-

tion, Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. All the artwork for the brochure has been donated and the BBCP will donate their time to put the brochure together.

Opinion

By Bud Cole I urge all residents of Northampton County that are interested in farmlands, forests, lakes, open lands, parks, streams and wildlife habitats to contact the Northampton County Council members imploring them to support the full funding (3.7 million dollars) to continue the important work of the open space program.

The Northampton County Council members are currently looking at the 2012 budget. The proposed budget includes funds to continue the open space program, making it possible to protect many areas of Northampton County from urban sprawl and fast moving development. These funds will help preserve open land for future generations.

In the battle to balance a county budget, these open space funds could be cut, as they were in last year’s budget. Northampton County’s open space program is in serious jeopardy. The open space funding combines three separate entities: 1. original farmland; 2. County/Municipal parks; 3. natural sensitive areas such as wetland. Seven townships worked diligently to pass ballot referendums and ordinances to impose an earned income tax to be used exclusively for purchasing land and/or purchasing conservation easements to protect the land. These referendums were all passed by a majority of the voters.

Open space has different meanings to different people.

To some it may mean additional athletic fields and recreational areas. To others it may mean farmland or woodlands.

Why should we preserve open space? Woodlands,

HANKSGIVING

for example, provide much needed shared, air quality (Absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen), passive recreation, wildlife habitat and pure aesthetics not to mention aiding in the absorption of excessive precipitation and surface water quality. Trees and shrubs near stream banks help to prevent erosion.

Northampton County is ecologically important by reason of its strategic location in both the Delaware and Lehigh River watershed.

Water resources for millions of Pennsylvanians depend on our commitment to preserve and conserve the integrity and the ability of the landscape to absorb and filter water from precipitation, runoff and human use. It is in everyone’s best and future interest to insure that Northampton County not fall prey to ill planned overdevelopment resulting in the loss of critical habitats, that while often unseen and underappreciated, perform very important services; the natural production of an ample, clean and quality water resource.

Although development is necessary to our economy, it is time for intelligent planning for the future. The impervious surfaces presently

occupied by houses, driveways, roads, warehouses and malls with their large parking lot produce major runoff, which adds to local flooding and the eroding of our stream and river banks.

Precipitation in the Lehigh Valley is more than 23 inches above normal this year.

Flooding increases in direct proportion to the loss of natural surceases where water is able to naturally soak into the ground.

I grew up in a rural area of Whitehall Twsp. near the 7th St. Pike. My paper route crisscrossed that highway, which is now called MacArthur Rd. The horse farms where I walked to feed the horses and the local orchards that once produced delicious fruits for the Lehigh Valley residents are covered by the MacArthur Rd. malls.

Another location along present day MacArthur Rd. was home to one of the Lehigh Valley Dairy Company’s farms. The open farmland was covered by meadows where the dairy cows grazed on grasses and other natural foods. These dairy cows were housed in neat barns at the end of a long lane. This particular farm was along a dirt road that dead ended at a rural home where the family Continued on page 13

After last week’s snow storm that caused so much problems with power outtages, the weather’s been real nice. Lots of sunshine, warm in the day, but cool at night. I’d take that all year.

But I reckon that’s what we like about living around here, variety. Don’t think I’d like it hot all year, or humid most of the time. You need something in between. Now we’ll hafta trust that wooly bear caterpillar and see if we have a so-so winter. Not like one gal said the other day, figuring the amount of snow falls we’re gonna get on account of the day we got the first one – the 29th! . . . . Weather couldn’t have been any nicer than it was on Tuesday for election day. . . .The frost hasn’t hit too hard yet, and we’re seeing lots of nice mums around town. . . . I hear Billy Uhrich was in town for a memorial for his Mom, Dolly. Doesn’t he live out near Pittsburgh?

Anyhow, it was good to hear he was here. Also heard that Brian Rehrig was here from Massachusetts on a visit to his Mom and Dad, Marge and Carl. . . Stanley Dech is in Moravian Village, I hear, getting some treatment to make him feel better from ills that have been lingering on. I sure hope he gets well soon.

Right, Marie? The Legion hearts gang misses him. . . .

Bushkill Methodist Church had a chicken corn soup sale the other day, and I was surprised to see that they have a new church, just a bit up the road from where they used to be. Then the Chapman Methodists had a chicken and biscuit supper the same day that was a good one, too. Pastor Klingborg must do a lot of juggling, or maybe he’s been a waiter in the past, ‘cause he sure knew how to handle those big trays of pies without spilling any. . . . Congrats to the Nazareth High football team for winning the Lehigh Valley championship. They’ve

been having a great season so far, so let’s hope they keep it up and keep winning in the playoffs. Northampton has suffered this year, but maybe they can beat Catty on Thanksgiving Day, and it’ll make things all right. . . . Can’t help but wonder how they’re gonna have a Christmas tree lighting ceremony down at the park on the 27th of this month when the tree is surrounded by all sorts of construction equipment, dirt, and concrete for that streetscape project. We’ll see what happens in the next couple weeks, I reckon. . . . Standard Time was welcome on Sunday when we got an extra hour of sleep. It gets dark real early, but after December that will change a couple minutes a day. . . .The borough had its leaf collection truck out the other day. Just a couple more weeks and they should all be down. . . . Ye Ed tells me he’s looking for deer photos to put in the paper and in a booklet for the February whitetail deer classic. Send ‘em to him. . . . Gotta help Elmira with some window cleaning while it’s warm enough. See ya!!

A.C.S. and Road to Recovery

To the Editor: The American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program provides free rides to cancer patients who have no way of getting to their potential lifesaving treatments. We have very dedicated drivers in the Lehigh Valley who give their time and the use of their vehicles to transport patients. We are extremely grateful to them.

As coordinator of the program in the Lehigh Valley, I have seen an ever-increasing number of rides we cannot fulfill. I believe one of the main reasons is the price of gas. Also, some of our drivers are ill and others who were unemployed, now have jobs. All of these impact

our ability to transport cancer patients.

As more patients need rides, we need more drivers. We drive Monday through Friday in the mornings and afternoons. Use your own vehicle or either of the two American Cancer Society vehicles. I have created a user-friendly e-mail system in which drivers can select the drives they want to take. For those who do not use a computer, I am happy to call you. Drive as much or as little as you like, but please consider driving!

I am a cancer survivor and know how important it is to get to much-needed treatment. I am 100% committed to our Road to Recovery program and absolutely love my “job” as coordinator (I am a volunteer too). Our drivers are the best!

Please consider joining our great team of drivers. I know the cancer patients in the Lehigh Valley will be very grateful for your help.

230,000 pounds of food for local food banks. That’s enough food to feed over 8,000 people for a week.

“With the approach of the holiday season, this is the time of year when local food banks often have shortages,” said Craig Poland, Scout Executive and CEO, Minsi Trails Council, BSA. “It’s a great learning experience for Scouts to help serve our local communities and help fill area food banks for the holidays.”

Kathy Craine, television personality with WFMZ-TV 69, is the Scouting for Food chairperson again this year.

“Scouting For Food makes a tremendous positive impact on our local communities,” Kathy Craine commented.

“Since nearly 40 percent of food bank donations go to feed children, Scouting For Food is really about kids helping to feed kids. It’s heartwarming and important for our communities.”

This is the largest of many major service projects that the Boy Scouts conduct each year. Nearly, 6,000 local Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and volunteers typically participate in the food drive along with many area businesses.

Suffering is a part of being human isn’t it? We may not understand why or welcome it, yet it is a reality we face as mortal beings. Whether physical, mental, or emotional no one is immune. At least I have not yet met anyone who is.

Being called to care for individuals I am aware of numerous situations and personal struggles that my patients are going through. These health adversities range from mild presentations up to the most severe and life threatening.

Truly upsetting in many cases to see people you know and care for suffer and having to wrestle with the situation they find themselves in. Perhaps it isn’t even them that are ailing as it may be a loved one.

What is truly amazing is the personal growth and maturity that often times accompanies the dark periods in our lives. I do not mean to suggest that anyone, self included, looks at ailments of any magnitude as a good opportunity to test stamina or develop character. No clearminded individual would.

Far from it, yet experience does show us that these dark and upsetting times, these trials, can in fact set the stage for personal growth and new perspectives that could be developed no other way. If you have been through such an ordeal yourself then I gather you understand. It appears that life is lived moving forward yet understood by looking backwards!

We must examine the facts and understand that these human experiences do change us altogether.

Combined life experiences, you may assert, bring forth many changes on the inside.

My hope and prayer is that somehow and in some way it changes us for the better and does not leave us bitter.

Understand that I have, we all have, seen much heartache yet we have also experienced great joy haven’t we? Can one occur without the other?

Just this week I spoke with a man who recently lost his wife of sixty years. The pain and anguish is unbearable.

I sat in silence as he spoke of her with starry-eyed love and admiration. Leaning on memories that went back six decades, a lifetime. The pain in this and situations like this is palpable. Hangs in the air.

Stifling.

If you currently find yourself in the middle of suffering; if you find your health being affected; if you are frustrated, anxious, depressed, and downright hopeless, I want you to find comfort in knowing that all seasons come and go. The tough part is the waiting. Waiting for healing.

Waiting for restoration. In this context, waiting is an action verb. Waiting becomes itself, an activity. Most of the

Valley area. In addition to the Society’s 3 building and all they have to offer, we are delighted to have open for you the Siegfried Log Cabin in Bath, the first floor of the Joseph Steckel House, also in Bath, and St. Peters United Church of Christ in E. Allen Township.

Tickets will go on sale this Saturday, Nov. 12 thru Dec. 2, the closing time of each location. Advance price is $17, available at Bath Drug,, Country Capers, Curt’s Cyclery, Miller Ace Hardware and Steckel House Antiques. On Saturday, Dec. 3, tickets will be on sale at 10 a.m. at the Wolf Academy for $20.

The Wolf Academy is located at the Gov. Wolf Historical Society, 6600 Jacksonville Rd., Bath. All proceeds benefit the Society’s restoration of its buildings.

The sketch and article features this week’s house ~ It was the dead of winter and everything was covered with snow when we first looked at the farm. We moved into the house in the spring of 1970, just days before the Easter snowstorm.

The seventeen acre property was comprised of the farmhouse, barn, wash shed, smokehouse and outbuildings for chickens and sheep. All that remains of the original buildings is the farmhouse and the barn. Over the past several years, there have been four additions to the house. It sets on a stone foundation with log walls under clapboard and aluminum siding. Along the south side of the property is a stream, with a contained spring in the basement. To restore the original farmhouse appearance, a stone façade was added to the front of the home in 2008. The original L-shaped front porch was removed to build an office. In

the benchmark, and in doing so also scored three touchdowns.

Nazareth scored in the first three quarters, two TD’s in the first, three in the second, and two more in the third. It wasn’t until the third and fourth quarters that Northampton was able to get on the scoreboard – a 68yard pass from Patrick Cook to Zachary Holubowski and a five-yard run by Sheldon Reed.

Turnovers are costly in any football game, and Northampton had four on the night. One of them was a blocked punt, which Nazareth’s Alex Toomies scooped up in the end zone for a touchdown.

As they won the LVC title, the fans joined in singing the tune that came over the public address system, “We Are the Champions.”

Northampton’s next opponent will be Catasauqua on Thanksgiving Day. Their seasonal record, 2-7 LVC and 2-8 overall.

Blue Eagles trounce Kids To win LVC championship Nazareth High School’s Blue Eagles football team is the 2011 champion of the Lehigh Valley Conference. They did it with a convincing 49-13 victory over Northampton’s Konkrete Kids on Friday night in Andrew Leh Stadium.

There is a bit of irony in that, for Nazareth’s coach is a Northampton graduate, Rob Melosky.

But that aside, Nazareth finished the LVC season with an 8-1 record in the conference and 9-1 overall. They will be the No. 1 seed in the district’s 2-4-22 Class 4A sub-regional tournament, which opens this Friday. They have home field advantage throughout the

playoffs and will first take on the No. 8 seed.

The Blue Eagles have put on a team effort throughout the season, and have put on several late rallies to win games. Quarterback Dan Harding has been a star in most of those contests, but of late freshman Jordan Gray has taken on that role. The ninth grade student accomplished a big milestone on Friday, racking up over 1,000 yards rushing, a school record. Among the runs he had were 15 and 38 in the first quarter, 20 in the second, and altogether 120 for the night.

He had needed 91 to reach

BATH AREA BATH BORO – EAST ALLEN TWSP. – MOORE TWSP. – CHAPMAN BORO Bath Council

Continued from page 1 ing apartments for people with higher income, which would generate more revenue for the borough. Councilman John Kearns said, however, that senior citizens would be more likely to spend money locally than younger people.

Home Gets Water

Brian Rehrig reported storm water damage possibly from the retention pond at Park Ridge, which is 40 ft. above the basement of Carl and Marjorie Rehrig, his parents. Pipes were installed under the basement to carry off water in 2001. The Rehrigs feel the basin is not holding the water the way it should, and that there may be infiltration.

The basin has a clay lining. The biggest problem has occurred in the last four years, as water comes alongside their home. A hydraulic conductivity test may be done with four holes. Linsenmann said he will take photos after the next big rainstorm. The Rehrigs will spend their own

money to alleviate the problems.

Other Matters

• Barry Fenstermaker asked Council to consider the 275th anniversary in their 2012 budget. He said the people in Bath are not supporting them. A mummers group from Philadelphia, planned for the anniversary parade, will cost $2,000, and fireworks are planned. The committee was complimented for all their hard work.

• Representatives from Keystone Consulting Engineers and Barry Isette & Associates were present to answer questions as Council is seeking an engineer.

In answer to Councilwoman Jennifer George about the present municipal building, Al Kortze said options are presented on use of a quality building or building anew. There are lots of variables, he said, in seeing what the needs are. Asked about their experience with an historical architectural review board, preservation or restoration, Kortze said renovate to a building’s historic beginning. Councilman Mark Saginario asked

about grants. Both Kortze and a co-worker said they have gotten energy grants, and people in their company specialize in different areas. Harry Garmen of Isette said they have a forensics group for repairs from water damage, and provide full service in land and development.

The company writes grants and explores possibilities.

• Council President Robert Fields announced that former borough manager Richard Klotz will not return from his recent stroke. Gerald Gasda, now serving, will stay on until April.

• Linsenmann reported a site plan for a gazebo at Keystone Park. The pavilion, moved by the recent flood, may be torn down and removed. Grant funds are being sought to do the work.

Council was told that a Masonic lodge in Bath is expected to provide half of their fund-raising profits toward the pavilion repairs. Fields said it would be welcomed.

• Council voted to pay $28,987 to Grace Industries for work done on the W. Main St. streetscape. In regard to that project, Gasda said the contractor expects work to be done enough by Thanksgiving Day so that the Nov. 27 Christmas tree lighting ceremony can take place.

• Councilwoman Carol BearHeckman reported that people are putting garbage in their recycling containers. It should only be in garbage receptacles, and no earlier than the night before it is collected.

• Councilman Saginario was appointed liaison to PEMA for damages from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee. Gasda said that FEMA hasn’t met the threshold of dollars in damage reports to qualify the county for funding as yet.

• Council failed to get a second in a motion to support the state’s Growing Greener program, citing the fact that it is tax dollars.

• Certificates of appropriateness following H.A.R.B. review were approved for 109 W. Main St. and 110 E. Main St. • By a 4-3 vote, Council decided to have a microphone system to help people hear better at public meetings.

• Completion of units and improvements at Bath View condos was discussed, including sidewalks that start at CNB Bank.

Only 18 of the 42 apartments have been sold.

• A waiver of fees for collecting solid waste and recycling, at a residential rate since For-

tunato’s Pizza has closed, was granted for Rosa Triscari at two rental units.

• Councilwoman Heckman noted several items: H.A.R.B. will have a report on the historic district by next Council meeting.

She attended a community preservation workshop, in which a study showed that housing prices in historic districts are more steady, with an up to 35% increase in value. BBCP has begun work on the grant-funded “2012 Guide to Historic Bath and Surrounding Areas,” an 11”x17” brochure which will provide information on local business, list events, and showcase Bath’s 275th anniversary in 2012. 7,500 will be distributed. She also noted that Jennifer George was given the Distinguished Service to the Community Award at NCC, and that her restaurant was featured in the LV Style magazine with its 38 food favorites article.

On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to those who served our country in the name of Freedom, the same Freedom that allows us to serve them.

Our prayers are with all the Veterans, their families, and with the brave men and women serving our country today. We also wish to thank those from our area’s veteran service groups who volunteer their time in honor guards and firing squads bestowing the greatest honor for their deceased comrades.

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP.

Council listens to Rodite On reasoning for a COG

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Consultant Victor Rodite put on a power point program Thursday night on reasons why a council of governments might be a good move for the boroughs of Northampton and North Catasauqua and the township of Allen.

Members of Northampton Borough Council listened politely, but from all appearances they aren’t yet ready to go with that concept.

The slides and the oratory that went with it listed four reasons why a C.O.G. would serve well: Emergency management; solid waste collection services, regional parks, recreation, and a senior center; and joint code enforcement.

While he said he didn’t want to seem “pushy,” Rodite said a C.O.G. would offer an opportunity for savings, intergovernmental agreements are good, and the municipal officials could socialize more each month.

Borough Manager Gene Zarayko, noting that Northampton is on the western end of the county and is often ignored, asked why not include Coplay, Whitehall, and Lehigh Township. He said Northampton already belongs to the Mid-Eastern Counties Association of Boroughs, and other organizations as they look for savings.

The only councilman to offer

comment was Robert McHale, who said,“It’s food for thought, and I see some benefits.”

Other than that, Council went on with its routine business.

• A Canal St. homeowner complained that when the Delaware & Lehigh Heritage half marathon was held, the starting point was in front of his home, and many of the participants littered, changed diapers, and even urinated.

He offered photos to prove his point that the starting point should be moved, either to the park or at the Hungarian Hall.

There were 475 runners from 13 different states in the Oct. 22 marathon..

• The director of Wonder Kids complained of neighbors’ trash cans on their property along Lincoln Avenue.

• A Keglovits Lane resident asked that recycling literature be updated, as well as on the borough’s website.

• Two resolutions were approved, authorizing LeRoy Brobst to execute any and all documents in seeking funding for damages caused by Hurricane Irene or Tropical Storm Lee. • Council approved permanent status for policeman Robert Frantz. Also okayed was permission for patrolman Ryan Grube to attend a two-day training course on three kinds of weapons at the Guthsville Rod & Gun Club in

Store Hours Mon.-Fri. 7-7 Sat. 7-4

December. All the police officers have now qualified with their new weapons, according to the police chief.

• Efforts will be made to sell a 1995 Ford F-350 truck, an assortment of bicycles, and used office equipment at a municipal auction in Coplay on Dec. 3.

• The borough’s King St. Recycling Center is open Wednesdays from 2-5 p.m. and Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, to accept brush, shrubs, leaves, clean fill and tires.

• McHale reported that 11 building permits were issued and three commercial inspections made in October.

• Councilman Joseph Leitgeb reported that the public works crew is sealing curb lines on streets that were paved; they removed deteriorated concrete from Main St. near Cedar Allen and replaced it with new concrete; and potholes are being patched.

• Councilman Robert Coleman said when Veterans Day is observed, remember that freedom doesn’t come cheap.

• Zarayko said the borough was very fortunate that they didn’t have a power loss, even though trees fell in the recent snow storm. . . He also noted that rose bushes were planted in the borough. . . .Street sweeping is on Tuesdays from 8 to 10 and cars must be moved or owners will be fined. . . .Money is available for the remodeling or improvement of homes, with payback at low interest, with applications being accepted.

• The borough office will be closed for Veterans Day on

• Tree offers are still being accepted for the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony on Sunday, Nov. 27 at 5:30 p.m. The location is Main St. & Laubach Ave. The L.V. Italian American Band will play music and Santa Claus is expected to arrive between 6:00 and 6:15 p.m.

Lehigh Township Pondering posts In figuring taxes At their recent meeting, members of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors discussed road crew and police positions as they look ahead to having a budget ready for 2012. If additions to both departments are made,

it could mean a real estate tax increase.

The road crew has seven employees and there is a vacancy, but if they remain at seven it could mean additional money for road work.

One police officer is retiring, so that there are 11 full-time officers in the department. To hire a full-time replacement could mean additional tax money is needed.

Chief Jeffrey Schuler reportedly frowns on having parttimers since they also may work at other departments at the same time, and there is the police union contract to consider.

The present tax rate is 4.68 mills. Since the next township meeting would be on Nov. 8, election day, it has been changed to Monday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.

Pastor Jamie Possinger Hope Lutheran, Cherryville

Lest we forget….

How many wars are you able to remember that happened in your lifetime? Personally, I can remember four –none in which I was a participant. This Friday, November 11th, we will recognize America’s veterans. For some men and women this week brings back memories of wars fought, injuries suffered and comrades lost in battle. And it may also bring back fond memories of friendships cemented, countries visited and possibly even marriage vows exchanged. Whatever memories it may recall for you, as a nation we pause to remember those men and woman who have served our country in the military services.

The Bible is no stranger to war and conflict. Story after story is recorded in the Old Testament of God’s people being involved in fighting – for land, for religious freedom, for survival. Sometimes God’s people were victorious and sometimes they were defeated. However God’s people fared, the message of the Bible is clear…..God’s will for the world God created is peace – not war and conflict. Isaiah 2:4 reads: “He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”

(NIV) Psalm 34:14 says: “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” (NIV) and Matthew 5:9 reads: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” (NIV) This week as we remember those veterans who served our country faithfully I hope we also remember the endless wars that never ended war, the promised peace that was seldom peaceful, the dreams which were crushed and the hopes that were shattered. This week as we confirm the good that was bravely done by our veterans, may we be conscious of the evil that still exists. May we hold in our vision the bright glow of God’s hope for a peaceful world so that we can see more clearly the work yet to be done and do it. This week as we celebrate veterans help us to remember that they fought for peace. Lest we forget…..

Emmanuel: Ken Kobler, 5 for 12 with two home runs; Jim Hill, 4 for 12; Jim Rice, also 4 for 12 with a homer; and Jeff Fritz and Matt Toman, solo homers.

• Time extensions to October 2012 were granted Manors at Moore and Scenic View Three.

Opinion Continued from page 2

operated a small potato chip factory. A long steep grade near the end of the dead-end lane was the location of our favorite hill for sleigh riding.

We hiked the mile or so to the hill every time we had enough snowfall.

Today, the dead-end dirt road is a major paved road

connecting MacArthur Rd. and Mauch Chunk Rd. Both sides of the present day asphalt road are lined with townhouses and single homes. The farmland is covered by a mall and an enormous parking lot. These extensive impervious surfaces add major runoff and increase flooding of the Jordan Creek.

I don’t want to see the same massive urban sprawl spread across Northampton County.

I am hopeful that Northampton County residents will take the time to contact the county council members and urge them to vote for the full funding of the open space program as proposed by Northampton County Executive John Stoffa. Please contact the council member with your concerns by emailing Frank Flisser, FFLISSER@NORTHAMPTONCOUNTY.ORG.

Local Kids Continued from page 4

in the Northampton school district have a wonderful holiday through the generous donations of individuals and local businesses. Last Christmas we added a new project. We operated a Christmas store for young clients of the Northampton Food Bank. Each child was able to pick out a gift for every member of their family at no charge. In addition to gifts for children we are looking for small gifts for adults and siblings. Our goal each year is to surpass the number of smiles we’re able to help supply … won’t you please help us?

We will arrange for the purchase, wrapping and delivery of gifts for kids in our community.

Troop 43 took 1st place in the Troop Olympics, and won the clean campsite award for 4 days.

Tucker Allison and Bill Kukor earned the Mile swim award and Nate Decker completed the 2 mile swim. Alan and Leslie Behler completed Scoutmaster Specific training and outdoor training, and Bill Kukor earned the scoutmaster Merit Badge for year 1 and Russ Shaffer for year 8.

Two special presentations were also given out that night; the first was a gift of thanks to Geri Light, who has stepped down after 5 tremendous years of service as the troop treasurer. For her dedication, she was presented from the Troop Committee, a beautiful mum and a bath and hand towel set with the Troop Logo, Geri’s name and the “Treasurer for Life” embroidered on them. Geri will be greatly missed and the Troop Committee wishes her well and thanks her for all of her hard work and dedication.

The second presentation was one that was about 50 years late in being presented. Back in November 1961, when he was a Cub Scout, in Pack 43, and his mother was a Cub Den Leader, Mrs. Betty Haldaman found her young infant daughter not breathing and unresponsive, she carried her downstairs where, her son, Kenneth Haldaman Jr. performed rescue breathing and CPR on his little sister Teresa, until help could arrive. For his action, he was awarded an award of merit from the Boy Scouts of America, Bethlehem Council, back before it became Minsi Trails Council.

Committee Chairman Brian D. Radcliffe and Scoutmaster Russ Shaffer with retiring “Treasurer for Life” Geri Light.

The award somehow was misplaced and buried in the storage area for all these years, and was finally presented to him, with his mother Betty there to watch, in front of the troop and their families. After receiving his award, with tears in his eyes, Mr. Haldaman told the scouts “Yes this did really happen, and the things you learn in scouting, are not to be taken for granted,

that they are skills that will be with you, and used for the rest of your life.” The award was presented by Scoutmaster Russ Shaffer, and Troop Committee Chairman, Brian Radcliffe, who proudly announced that this award meant a little more because he was presenting it to family. Unfortunately his sister Theresa was not able to attend, she lives in Greenville Florida.
