Supervisor seat; write-in vote Yields new Bath councilman

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

ROWS OF CANNED GOODS were lined up in the vestibule of Christ UCC Church in Bath last week as the congregation brought in items for the Bath Food Bank. They wanted to have 1,111 by Nov. 11, but excelled that with over 1,300 cans. The Scouting for Food drive was also successful in the Bath area, as people contributed a total of 3,700 pounds. Also noteworthy: Loaves & Fishes, the food kitchen at Christ Church, served 53 men, women and children a free meal on Saturday – turkey and all the trimmings.

Stoffa scolds Allen Twp. board for lack of Info on open space tax

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Northampton County Executive John Stoffa said the Allen Township Board of Supervisors could have done a better job of informing the public about open space before last Tuesday’s election referendum on the proposal to increase earned income taxes by a quarter of one percent (0.25%) for that purpose.

The referendum went down to defeat by a count of 332 “no” to 258 “yes”. Stoffa said it was also sad that only 593 people out of 3,061 possible voted in the township.

Stoffa asked the supervisors if they will try again to pass the earned income tax so open space farmlands and environmentally sensitive areas can be saved from development.

The board agreed to do so.

Metro Leshak said he doesn’t know enough about what open space means, when the board said they had fliers out about it. With tongue in cheek, he said, “The only open space I know is between their ears.”

Fire Co. Funding Allen Township Fire Co. Fire Chief Nick Lalik questioned the board about provisions in the agreement between the township and the fire company. It includes an allocation of $80,000, which he said is a cut of some $56,000. On fuel and other needs, the township will continue paying for that.

The township will also continue to maintain the parking lots with snow removal in the wintertime, after they have cleared major township Continued on page 16

Incumbent Maynard Campbell, who has been serving as chairman of the Moore Township Board of Supervisors, lost his bid for re-election in last Tuesday’s municipal election. David Tashner, Sr. received the most votes, 674, and Campbell was second with 508. A third candidate, former supervisor Rodney Jarinko, trailed with 291 votes. Only one seat was up for election.

While voting started out light, the electorate came out rather strongly the rest of the warm and sunny day.

Townships In East Allen Township, with two six-year terms at stake, Madelyn “Maggie” Kemp received the most votes as she cross-filed, netting 492 votes, while incumbent supervisors chairman

Christopher Colitas received 325 votes. They beat Gregory Kuhn, who had only 106 votes.

Bruce Frack and Alfred Pierce were unopposed for re-election as supervisors in Allen Township, but the question of having a quarter of one percent earned income tax to support the open space program failed by a vote of 332 to 258.

In Lehigh Township, Supervisor Dell Grove won re-election with 744 votes, but was second to Cindy Miller, who had 977. Two six-year seats were in the election. Richard C. Rehrig lost with 615 votes.

Two seats were up in Bushkill Township as well, and veteran supervisor Clifford Bonney polled 717 votes, with Julianne Bender second at 601. David Brewer was third with just 368 votes.

In Lower Nazareth Township, incumbent Eric Nagle

was a winner, as was newcomer Gerald Green. They were alone on the ballot.

Upper Nazareth Township winners were Scott Sylvainus and Willard Mohn for sixyear seats and James Augustine for two years as supervisors.

Boroughs In borough voting, Bath Councilmen Jennifer George, Robert Fields and Mark Saginario won re-election. But there was a surprise among all the write-in votes for a fourth Council seat. There were 97 write-in votes cast by Bath voters. Three names received the most votes: Kathryn Roberts, 39; and Joseph Linsenmann and Michelle Ehrgott, each 22. Linsenmann has been serving on Council and was seeking re-election.

Masons donate $500 to BBCP for park

Last Thursday evening November 11 the F.&A.M. of Bath Manoquesy Lodge #413, in an ongoing effort to partner with the local community and foster mutually beneficial relationships, made a check donation to the Bath Business & Community Partnership. The lodge raised over $2,500 at a recent golf tourna-

ment and wanted to help the local community organization rebuild the pavilion that was destroyed during heavy flooding following Hurricane Irene. The money will go towards rebuilding the pavilion at Keystone Park which is used for most events held by the BBCP including the annual 5K held in the spring and

the Bath Farmers Market held at Keystone park during the summer months.

Manoquesy Lodge is one of seven lodges in the 50th Masonic District. The lodge is located at 221 Penn Street in Bath where they hold meetings, plan events and bring in new members.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner it is time to start thinking about pumpkin pie, a house full of family and the season of gifts. It is no secret that the economy is at a stand still and some places are worse off than a year ago, many folks are unable to give big-ticket items, even to their children. I recently came across an email forwarded to me from a friend and local business manager. Normally, forwarded emails like this one don’t stand a chance against my delete button, but I am glad I took the time to read this one. The email was about the current state of our economy and how we can help make a BIG impact with small changes in our local community. As I begin my Christmas shopping I am taking to heart the message of this email and I plan to carry it with me every day hereafter.

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition “As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods-merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor.

This year will be different.

This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

“It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?

“Everyone, yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?

“Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Crime: Now & 1935

An execution in Georgia recently was carried out after widespread calls for a new trial, clemency or a life sentence. The death sentence was reconsidered by an appeals court, which refused to commute the sentence. The execution, which has been eliminated in many states, was carried out.

The most famous American execution after an appeals court ruling upholding the death sentence for murder in U.S. history was this month in 1935. It was October headlines all over the world.

The execution was of Bruno Hauptmann, convicted of kidnapping and killing Charles Lindbergh’s tiny son--in New Jersey. Lindbergh, the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic, was the most popular man in the nation.

Oddly, when the death sentence was confirmed, the Lindberghs were harried and tormented and their other young son threatened. So much so that Lindbergh decided to move to England, which he did for the safety of his family. Crime in the U.S. in 1935 was more prevalent than in Europe, as it is today.

Letters from our Readers Cites Inadequacy of Senate Legislation To Gov. Tom Corbett: I am writing you as a constituent, a taxpayer, a voter, and most importantly as a First Responder to let you know that I do NOT support S.B. 866 and believe that it is inadequate for ALL of Pennsylvania’s Fire and EMS agencies!

I believe strongly that the $40 million in funding proposed in H.B. 955 would go much further in terms of our ability to meet the continually increasing costs of Operational Readiness; Vehicle and Facility Maintenance and the need to provide continual training. While I know that it represents a $15 million increase over the $25 million in S.B. 866, I am also aware that the amount pales in comparison to the tax savings enjoyed

by ALL of Pennsylvania’s residents from Fire and EMS agencies!!!

I am also very aware that while the original grant program funding represented nearly 11% of total gaming revenues, H.B. 955 at $40M would represent ONLY 6% of today’s gaming revenues!

Further, I believe that this grant should be available to

ALL Pa. Fire and EMS agencies with Primary Response responsibilities in the Commonwealth. Finally, I support a four-year extension of this program.

I hope that you consider all that we do for your constituents as well as my opinions as you consider S.B. 866!

ate getting their car detailed?

Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.

“Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking down the Benjamines on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.

“There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.

“How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?

“Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.

“My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.

“OK, you were looking for something more personal.

Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

“Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre.

“Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

“Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lightss for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of lights about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or

babysitter a nice BIG tip.

“You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams.

And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine.

“THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.”

It’s been kinda nice, weatherwise, around here. The only storm has been out at Penn State, where the university president, head football coach Joe Paterno, and some other top execs have been let go following a sex abuse scandal. It’s too bad that things like that happen, and when it hits a big school like Penn State it’s a worldwide event.

The grand jury had a big report and the school’s trustees wasted no time getting rid of people they thought were attached to the issue, mostly for not reporting it to the cops. Live and learn, I reckon. I wonder what the Penn State alum from around these parts think of the situation?? Everybody has different opinions . . . . Halloween is just past, and Thanksgiving is next Thursday, and already we’re seeing commercials for Christmas gifts and hearing Christmas music on the radio. Nothing like rushing the seasons. Reckon the merchants are glad to see folks getting into the Christmas spirit so they can look forward to lots of sales. . . . The sidewalk and grounds down

by Monocacy Creek Park are still too filled, so I hear the lighting ceremony will be held at the town hall up on

Penn & Washington Sts. next sunday night. The Lions usually decorate the tree a day earlier. Marvin Werkheiser usually heads up that crew and is hoping the weather isn’t as cold as last year. . . . I hear the Boy Scouts collected a boatload of canned goods in their Scouting for Food drive over the weekend. Glad to hear that, ‘cause the way folks are out of work and short on the purse strings these days, the food bank needs all the help it can get to feed the needy. . . .Sorry to hear about two Holiday Hill residents passing away over the weekend – Margaret Pammer and Janet Klusko. My sympathies to their families. . . . Nazareth High School’s football team will have a battle on their hands this Friday, I hear, when they play Parkland again, but I think they’re up to the challenge. Good luck, Blue Eagles ! ! . . . .And lest we forget, good luck to our Konkrete Kids, too, when they play Catty on Thanksgiving morning ! ! . . .

Nothing will help those hapless Philly Eagles. I’m ready for baseball . . . . Estelle Stein is letting everybody know she has a dentist’s office with that big banner flapping in the breeze . . . . Charlie and Joann Billings enjoyed a few days at

Deer damages Told to gardeners

John Drabik was the speaker for the November Moorestown Garden Club meeting.

He said that the 1.3 million deer in Pennsylvania are the cause of lots of damage to crops and forests. And, to the home garden. Some of the ways to deter them from lunching on your plants is to string up aluminum pie plates (they don’t like the shine). You may also tie string through a box of Irish Spring soap and hang it on a tree.

During the program and meeting, Marylyn Gockeler was busy judging specimens and arrangements. Winners of the flower, gourds and vegetable specimens were Joan Boccabella, Jan Charney, Claire Cook, John Cook, Lois Frye, Linda Kortz, Marty Krautwald, Marianne Lesher and Evanne Maher. “Button Up Your Overcoat” arrangement winners were Joan Boccabella, Jan Charney, Lois Frey and Marianne Lesher.

The winner in the “Autumn Wreath” competition was Evanne Maher.

This is the fifth in a series about the Gov. Wolf Historical Society’s annual Christmas House Tour.

Framed by mature horse chestnut trees, the Daniel Kleckner house sits amid three acres overlooking a winding stream. The semi-circular datestone in the west eave is inscribed “Daniel Kleckner 1823”. The home’s center hall construction and use of narrow floorboards on the first floor (now covered with oak) are an indication of Daniel’s wealth and prestige. To the west of the native limestone house, lie the barn, pigsty and wagon shed.

We purchased the property twenty years ago. To the right of the center hall is the large living room, which was created by combining two small rooms and removing the back stairs. Its focal point is a large fireplace, complemented by a family antiques and newer kitchen, powder room, laundry and garage addition. The family room leads to the rear patio, yard and gardens. This room had been the original kitchen in the house. The walk-in fireplace was downsized to include a terracotta tile hearth, stone-faced and marble mantel. The dining room has an unusual Hoosier cabinet with amber stained glass and black and white porcelain top. The kitchen uses an exterior stone wall and accents it with stenciling.

The upstairs still retains its “cross and Bible” six-panel doors, Dutch locks and wide pine floors. The “Kleckner” bedroom has a high-back bed, dressers and washstand with white marble tops and tear-

drop pulls.

The first and second floors will be open for the tour including three bedrooms and office on the second floor. Our future plans include new windows and kitchen.

I am proud to say Mr. Kaboly and Tim’s wife of 28 years, the former Sandra Leiby, were fine former students of this writer at Northampton High School.

The plant is closely monitored by State Environmental Agencies and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. The voluminous reports fill an entire room. Mr. Stoudt has seen the old wet process plant replaced by an efficient modern plant.

He reflects, “the raw materials are the same but the process has been streamlined making the plant safe, clean and efficient. The computer has become an integral part of our operations making our reports easier to prepare.”

Tim is a friendly gentleman

who is a dedicated cement worker; he enjoys working with fellow employees. He said, “I enjoy the challenges of my job and appreciate the income that has provided a good living for my family.”

HORNER CEMETERY

The recent scare over contaminated cantaloupe made many Americans substitute other fruit--for a time. Second choice for many was watermelon slices. They are also highly rated in nutrition news letters. Oranges rank No. 1 in that listing.

By ED PANY Curator, Atlas Cement Memorial Museum In this continuing series, I am telling the story of the first settlement in Northampton County. The Jane Horner Cemetery 1745 was one of the centers of the 1728 ScotchIrish-Craig settlement. The historic Cemetery is located in East Allen Township. The Cemetery is the final resting place for many residents who participated in the Revolutionary War. One of the families who contributed to our struggle for independence was the Ralston family. Jane Ralston would marry Rev. John Rosbrugh, pastor of the Presbyterian Congregation at the Craig Settlement, a pious gentleman who would be called the “Chaplin of the Revolution.”

At the request of Gen. George Washington and Col. John Siegfried, Northampton’s (then Allen Township) most famous revolutionary soldier, Rev. Rosbrugh read a letter calling on his congregation to enlist in the Continental Army saying he would accompany them as their Chaplain. The men insisted that he come along as their Captain, not as their Chaplain.

He accepted this provision and returned to tell his wife.

His wife’s brother, Gen. Robert Brown was at this time a British prisoner of war. The Congregation gathered to

DaviD H. Warner, DPM, FaCFaS 198 S. Green St., Nazareth 610-759-4555

Specializing in Diabetic Footcare & Wound Care, Heel Pain

“see the boys off”, and the men marched to Philadelphia arriving on December 24, 1776.

There Rosbrugh was relieved of his command and made Chaplain of the Third Battalion, Northampton Militia. Our first soldiers crossed the Delaware River. General Washington, outnumbered, performed a magnificent military feat out-flanking British and Hessian troops and capturing Trenton. It was a smashing victory for the young army.

Chaplain Rosbrugh, being among the last contingent going into Trenton ahead of the British, and not being wise in military maneuvers, he lingered behind to eat supper. A Hessian patrol surprised Rev. Rosbrugh who attempted to escape, seeking refuge in a grove. He was captured, and the young pastor became a prisoner of war, but the Hessians bayoneted “the rebel parson”to death while he knelt at the foot of a tree pleading for his life and praying for his enemy. There were seventeen thrusts and a broken off bayonet in his body. His body was found by his men, wrapped in a cloak and buried.

For a long time his final resting place was unknown; later he was re-interred in the church yard of the First Presbyterian Church in Trenton.

The young pastor who came to settlement in 1769 and married Jane Ralston has been forgotten, a man who died dreaming that one day the colonies would emerge as a new nation of freed men. Rev. RosContinued on page 13

NORTHAMPTON AREA NORTHAMPTON BORO – ALLEN TWSP. – LEHIGH TWSP. Immigrant’s family started Successful Ace Hardware

By ED PANY

I attended the annual employee awards meeting of Miller’s Ace Hardware Store, a popular Allen Township business. The store’s origin is an interesting story of an immigrant family whose work ethic and vision created a successful business.

I called my friend, Mr. Paul Kozero whose family laid the roots for the business; naturally I incessantly questioned Paul about his family’s history. The family roots are in Galicia, once part of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, today the country of Poland.

His Grandfather, father Anthony and Uncle John came to America as most immigrants in search of opportunity.

Their first encounter was with representatives from our cement companies who were in dire need of hard working employees. They were hired by the Atlas Portland Cement Co. where hundreds of horses

and thousands of employees produced the Magic Powder.

Paul’s father and uncle, after a number of years at the plant, decided to pursue their own business; they purchased some basic equipment and became self taught steeple jacks and roofers. They painted industrial stacks (not many left in the area) and worked on church steeples and roofs, scaling heights being an every day venture. During their work experience, they associated with many roofers and craftsmen.

Anthony decided a store catering to roofers and painters in Northampton would fill a void so Tony and son Paul, a Lehigh University graduate, opened their first store on Main St. in Northampton.

Paul recalls, “My father had a friendly personality and soon roofing supplies and Glidden Paint sales were being well received by our customers.”

With a touch of humor Paul

said, “we had a small warehouse to the rear of the store, the smallest warehouse with a forklift in Pennsylvania.”

They advertised for some part time employees, but did not receive many applicants.

One young man who applied was Dale Miller, the amiable gentleman who is the current owner of Ace Hardware in Allen Township under the guidance of the Kozero’s; Dale started his business career in their Main Street store.

The business was very successful, the warehouse couldn’t stock an adequate inventory so they constructed a warehouse on Lincoln Ave. in 1972. The structure was later the first home of the Northampton Medical Center. Paul recalls, “with our store and warehouse at different locations, we decided to consolidate the business and purchased property on Weaversville Road. The process was lengthy in obtaining approvals; finally the new store/warehouse combination was completed. Another significant event occurred at the new Ace Store in 1978. With a handshake, no Philadelphia lawyers, Dale Miller gained a partnership with Paul Kozero, his friend and long time employer.”

This writer has been a customer at the three Kozero, Kozero-Miller-Miller Supply Ace Hardware stores. Three of the original Weaversville store employees are Beverly Bowers, Joanne Koehler and Tim Snyder. The Weaversville store was crammed with hardware items, so many you might have to hang them from the ceiling. As a result Paul and Dale procured land at the present Route 329 location. Ironically, the site was the former Odenwelder Farm.

The Farm was purchased by the Universal Atlas Cement

MILLER SUPPLY ACE HARDWARE Co. where Paul’s grandfather, father and uncle were employed many years ago. The Farm was purchased for the cement rock deposits, but the Company never expanded their operations, closing in 1982.

The construction was a massive project for Paul and Dale with numerous permits and approvals. The opening of the new Ace Store finally made the store a reality,

ready to serve their many satisfied customers. Paul ended his stewardship of the store when Dale and Barbara Miller, fine folks, purchased the store in 1994. With the Millers and friendly staff, the store continues to serve their customers with good products and a smile.

Tree lighting ceremony At covered bridge The Kreidersville Covered Bridge Association will hold its annual tree lighting ceremony on the grounds surrounding the Kreidersville Covered Bridge on Saturday, Dec. 10, between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.

So what’s the big deal, right? How is this tree lighting any different from all others in the Lehigh Valley? This is how: (1) It's held at the historic and beautiful covered bridge, the last in Northamp-

ton County.

(2) Santa arrives on an Allen Township Fire Co. fire truck and emerges from the the 172-year old KCB bridge to greet the kids, and (3) We hold a BONFIRE! The bonfire is a big hit probably because they are rarely held these days. But bonfires are ancient rituals which really seem to engage our crowd in a warming and stimulating communal experience.

Rev. Edwin V. Schwartz Immaculate Conception Allentown

Oil of Gladness (Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour) (Matthew 25:13) With these words from the parable of the ten bridesmaids, Jesus asked his followers to ponder his return. Are we like the five bridesmaids who took flasks of oil for their lamps in preparation for the great wedding feast? Or are we like the five foolish bridesmaids who took no oil with them and consequently were refused entry? The parable of the wise and foolish virgins is aimed at challenging our apathetic attitude about the need for immediate preparation.

The parable of the wise and foolish virgins is not just one more example of a scare tactic aimed to whip us into shape.

Many Christians today have a mature faith life that is not built on the foundations of fear and guilt. Yet all of us can easily fall into a mood of moderate apathy when it comes to questions about the final end or the second coming of Christ.

Do not let the interesting details of the parable distract you. Underneath the images and customs of wedding practices in first-century Palestinian culture lies a very important and serious teaching. When the Parousia happens it will be too late to make preparations. That moment will be a time of judgment and we will either be prepared or unprepared.

The wise person, will be prepared because wisdom guides one to always be prepared. In the parable these are the wise virgins. The foolish virgins, on the other hand, were ill prepared and were forced to pay the price of exclusion from the wedding feast.

Scripture encourages us not to be worried or concerned about the end of time. If we stand in our beliefs that we have been baptized into Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can be full of hope. We can comfort one another with the truth that God wants to raise us all with Christ so that we will always be with the Lord.

When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist, we can ask God to give us great expectation and a vibrant hope in his return.

As we proclaim Jesus’ death until his return in glory, we can ask the Holy Spirit to fill us with his presence, with the “oil of gladness” as we eagerly await the resurrection – the wedding feast of Jesus and his church. Before the altar, we can join the psalmist in singing, “O God, you are my god, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you… Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; I will life up my hands and call on your name” (Psalm 63:1,3-4). for the tree lighting, pretty white lights twinkle while the crowd sings "O Christmas Tree". Simple and tasteful. Northampton Area High School choral groups perform at the gazebo, which is always a highlight, and there are other musical acts, including saxophone duo Sammy “Sax” Leon and Danny Pany, to entertain. There is a little group carol-

ing; singing is optional but people seem comfortable enough to sing along with the other non-musicals in the crowd! Free hot chocolate and cookies are dispensed.

A CRAYOLA basket raffle and the sale of KCB merchandise are the "fund-raising" parts of the event but the rest of the festivities are all free to the public. It's a very low-key yet memorable event.

Governor signs Ban on texting While driving in PA

Governor Tom Corbett signed legislation that bans texting while driving on Pennsylvania roads last week.

The new law, which makes texting while driving a primary offense carrying as $50 fine, takes effect in less than 120 calendar days from today.

“Senate Bill 314 aims to put a halt to texting from behind the wheel and is intended to save lives,” Gov. Corbett said.

“No text message is worth a human life. The message of this legislation is drive now and text later.”

The new law specifies: • Prohibits as a primary offense all drivers from using an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write a textbased message.

• Defines an ICWD as a wireless phone, personal digital assistant, smart phone, portable or mobile computer or similar devices that can be used for texting, instant messaging, e-mailing or browsing the Internet.

• Defines a text-based message as a text message, instant message, e-mail or other written communication composed or received on an IWCD. • Makes clear that this law supersedes and preempts any local ordinances restricting the use of interactive wireless devices by drivers.

In 2010, there were almost 14,000 crashes in Pennsylvania where distracted driving played a role, with nearly 1,100 of those crashes involving a handheld cellular phone.

“We’ve said it in the past, but today, we are making it law: if you have an urgent need to text, you must pull over and park. If it’s not important enough to stop your car, then it’s certainly not important enough to risk a life,” said Gov. Corbett.

Bible Verse

"Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself."

1. Who made the above statement?

2. To whom was he speaking?

Answers: 1. Jesus.

2. The people in his hometown of Nazareth.

WILLIAM WALTERS AND JANET ZERNHELT

Heroic neighbor feted Posthumously by Kiwanis Steve Zernhelt’s widow and 15 family members from Northampton assembled on Sat., November 5, with fourty-eight Pennsylvania Kiwanians from Eastern and Northeastern, PA for the Region 6 annual fall meeting held at the Monroe Career Institute of Technology. This was not your normal Kiwanis Regional Meeting but rather a solemn and yet celebratory event to honor the memory of Steve Zernhelt who on June 26, 2010 was murdered along with three of his next-door neighbors. Steve’s widow and family were at the event to receive the Kiwanis International Foundation’s Robert P. Connelly Medal of Heroism award. The award is presented to those individuals who go above and beyond the normal call of duty and who risk physical harm or death

to save the life of another human being. And that defined Steve Zernhelt. Always ready to help anyone who on that fateful day when he heard screams from the house nextdoor, knowing that there is a family living there with children immediately he sprang into action and ran into the house only to be the fourth victim murdered by parolee Michael Ballard.

As a result of Steve’s actions, William Walters of the Kiwanis Club of Easton nominated him posthumously for the International award. As the event began Walters showed a five-minute video about the history of the Kiwanis International Foundation’s Robert P. Connelly Medal of Heroism award which was first presented in 1967 to honor Robert P. Connelly, himself a Kiwanian who had died while

trying to save a young woman who had fallen in front of a speeding train in the Chicago area. Both lost their lives and Kiwanis created the award.

By his unselfish action, Steve put tremendous and dramatic meaning into the phrase “personal involvement,” which is so much a part of Kiwanis philosophy.

Steve Zernhelt was the epitome of all that Kiwanis strives to be. Since 1967, from Japan to Thailand to England to the USA, the Kiwanis International Foundation has honored more than 630 individuals who, like Connelly and Zernhelt, risked or gave their lives to save another. Only 12 of the awards have been presented to Pennsylvania residents and the only other Lehigh Valley award was presented in 2004 to Damion Smith who saved two young children from a burning car.

Nazareth Borough’s votes for Council were too close to call , as incumbent Larry Stoudt, who is vice president, trailed Thomas Heckman, 110 to 112, with Carl Fischl winning in the second ward.

In Northampton, the winners were Keith Piescienski and John Yurish in the first and second wards, and Ed Pany went back to Council in the third ward, and Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr., returned to Council in the fourth ward, and joins his son, Anthony Jr., on Council. Councilman Joe Leitgeb, Jr. had lost in the May primary and Pany replaces Mike Bernini.

School Boards School directors were also up for election on the ballot.

The Pilgrims had few choices of foods when they sailed to America on the Mayflower. There was salted beef, pork, fish and hardtack, a dry biscuit. It is thought that they had dried peas, beans, cheese and some butter, too. They had some fresh water when they started out, but it didn't take long for it to spoil.

In addition to increasing the current municipal bid threshold, Act 84 will require townships to seek telephone quotes for purchases and contracts between $10,000 and $18,500. Any purchase a township makes that costs less than $10,000 will not be subject to the state’s bidding and advertising requirements. Also, the minimum

Manoquesy Lodge #413 F.&A.M. of Bath recently held a golf tournament at Whitetail Golf Club in Bath. Fifty-six golfers came out and 39 local business donated money for hole sponsorship.

The lodge was able to raise $2,500 which will be donated to some of the Masonic charities and a portion will also be donated to the Bath Business & Community Partnership to help with improvements to borough parks.

The lodge also ran a fundraiser from January through June for Animals in Distress in Coopersburg. The organization was open in the evenings to collect donated items as well as cash donations for the sanctuary. The sanctuary is a no-kill animal shelter that provides a warm home and safe environment for animals as well as medical care.

Legislation Continued from page 13

Tom Corbett.

Act 84 of 2011, effective January 1, will increase the minimum dollar amount that requires townships to advertise and seek bids for purchases and contracts. By upping the current threshold from $10,000 to $18,500, the law means that fewer local purchases will fall under the state’s cumbersome and bureaucratic bidding procedures. It will also mean that more local tax dollars will be invested where they would do the most good: in local services and projects.

“PSATS applauds the governor’s swift action in signing this legislation,” PSATS Executive Director David M. Sanko says. “For more than a decade, the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors has been urging lawmakers to pass commonsense legislation that would save municipalities statewide hundreds of thousands of tax dollars a year – money that could be put to better use in Pennsylvania’s communities.

“The last time the bidding provisions were amended was in 1990, and they have been frozen in time since then, not allowing for inflation and thus eroding the

bid amounts will be adjusted annually based on changes in the Consumer Price Index.

The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors represents Pennsylvania’s 1,455 townships of the second class and for the past 90 years has been committed to preserving and strengthening township government and securing greater visibility and involvement for townships in the state and federal political arenas. Townships of the second class represent more residents — 5.5 million Pennsylvanians — than any other type of political subdivision in the commonwealth.

roads of snow and ice. If the fire company would disband, their equipment would revert to the township.

Lalik was told the agreement was made at this time so they can have the figures on hand for their 2012 budget.

The fire chief reported that bids were received for a new fire truck, replacing a unit that is 20 years old. The low bid was $456,000. In answer to Supervisor Bruce Frack, Lalik said they have another unit that will be 20 years old.

They have a five-year separation between replacements.

Lalik also said they will need to pay about $200,000 for new air pack bottles, which cost $900 each.

There are 69 active, certified volunteers in the fire company, Lalik told Supervisor Michelle Drzeweicki.

The fire report for October showed: 142-1/4 man-hours for alarms; 87 hours; 28 alarms (2 airport alerts, 1 assist to ambulance, 6 auto accidents, 1 automatic fire alarm, 3 dwelling fires, 1 indoor odor investigation, 1 special assignment, 3 structure fires, 1 tree across road, 6 trees down, 2 trees on wires, 1 wire/pole fire). To-

tal fire damage amounted to $603,701. Chief Lalik’s report itemized each and every call the fire company received.

Sewage Service Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell reported on a letter he received from Catasauqua Borough, responding to a letter from Allen Twsp. Manager Ilene Eckhart in which she asked whether Catasauqua would consider entering into an agreement with the township to provide sewer service to the southern area of the township.

Atty. Jeffrey Dimmich said the borough is interested in exploring the proposition, but they would only sell sewage capacity and that Allen Township would have to own and operate its own lines within the municipality.

Once figures are provided by the township on capacity needed and reserved, average daily and monthly flows, the annual flow, and the peak capacity, they could go into further negotiations if the plant engineer is sure the borough has enough capacity to provide the service.

Allen Twsp. and Northampton Borough have been at odds about their sewage service, and on Thursday further discussed the litigation at an executive session.

Other Matters • The board agreed to do crack sealing for the Northampton Area School District, for a total of no more than four hours, at the insistence of Supervisor William Holmes. The school district will provide the materials.

• A request by the Kreidersville Covered Bridge Association to get permission for a bonfire was approved. It will be part of a pre-Christmas program, in which Santa Claus will come for a visit with local youngsters. At the bridge.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, Nov. 22 at 7 p.m.
