Bath Boro Council Briefed on How Storm Emergency was Addressed

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Old-fashioned water pump along Main St. in Chapman Borough helped take care of some water needs during the hurricane power loss. Left over from the 1800’s, it is regularly maintained by the residents. – Home News photo

Chapman Residents Turn to Old Pump for Water During Storm

An 1800’s era water pump that sits atop a concrete slab along Main Street served as a water source for many Chapman Quarries residents this past week. For more than four days, from Monday night to Friday, they were without electrical power, all caused by the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy. So with no electricity, there’s no water either if relying on wells. The hand-cranked water pump along the 1400 block

of Main Street has water 60 ft. down. During the summer, residents pump the handle and withdraw water for their gardens. This time it was used to fill buckets so they could wash their hands or dishes or flush their toilets. Since it is regularly maintained, they hoped it would work during this emergency. It did. During emergencies such as last week’s hurricane, people have to improvise to survive. This is one way they did it, to make the going a little easier.

Moore Township Hires FT Officer By Alice Wanamaker The Home News

Moore Township Supervisors voted to approve the hiring of Jason Gianatiempo as a full time police officer for the township. Chief Gary West brought the request to the

Supervisors Monday night stating that hiring Gianatiempo would give 24/7 police coverage with two officers in the township. Gianatiempo has been employed as a part time officer in Continued on page 18

Borough Manager Tom Petrucci read a statement to Bath Borough Council and persons in the audience at Council’s meeting on Monday night what actions were taken before and after Hurricane Sandy came to this area and what effect the super storm had on everyone. Along with him were Emergency Management Coordinator Mark Saginario, Public Works crew leader Lou Nigrellli, and other borough personnel. On Friday, Oct. 26, storm basin inlets were checked

and leaves removed so water could flow inside. Saturday, Oct. 27 – Pipes were cleaned out at Keystone Park. Sunday, Oct. 28 – Saginario contacted the Bath ambulance corps, and George Wolf Elementary School was selected as a shelter. Monday, Oct. 29 – All facilities were checked; Fire Chief Ed Demchak reported that power lines were down at E. Main & Poplar Sts. The borough office lost power. Tuesday, Oct. 30 – Road crew inspected areas of the

borough and cleaned up all debris; facilities were intact. Greatest impact at this point was widespread power outage. Borough unable to update website, ceall phones not working. Petrucci contacted Met-Ed several times to check status of power restoration, with 1,200 residents affected. Saginario said he inspected the senior apartment buildings of John Daumer and Howard Jones Manor, and placed EMC phone number in their hallways. Borough opened shelter at Continued on page 8

Northampton Area School District Schedule Storm Make-up Days

By ALICE WANAMAKER The Home News

Northampton Area School District Superintendent Joseph Kovalchick earlier this week issued a statement to parents regarding instructional make-up days due to this past week’s inclement weather. The statement noted that the district will now be open for two days later this month that were previously scheduled as days off for students. In the statement Kovalchick noted that all district schools and offices will be open on Wednesday, November 21 and Monday, November 26 to make up for last weeks closings. November 21 was a scheduled in-service day for teachers and will be made up in June 2013. The revised schedule will require for three additional days to be made up at a later date. Kovalchick said in his statement that at this time, those days will not come over the winter

Letters from our Readers -

A True Emergency; No Info on Shelter, Then It Closed To the Editor: On Oct. 29, 2012, the Borough of Bath experienced a True Emergency. Were we ready? NO! Were we warned about the pending storm and the wrath it was going to bring? YES. Then why wasn’t the Bath emergency shelter up and running after the electricity went out? Why did the shelter open at 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night when people were in bed trying to stay warm? When no one showed up at the shelter, it was closed and did not re-open. I took my 94-year-old Mother-in-Law to the shelter on Wednesday morning to seek a warm place to sit. I was extremely disappointed to find out it was closed. I am sure if the people of Bath knew about the shelter, they would have used it. We need to get the public informed about the shelter before another emergency occurs. COME ON, PEOPLE! Emergency Preparedness means exactly that. BEING PREPARED! What can we do as a Borough to be ready for the next emergency? A 31-year resident of Bath, Imogene Kresge

(ED.: Northampton County advised the local EMC to direct people to the shelter at City Line Ave., Bethlehem, where supplies would be available to persons in distress.)

Food Collection On Saturday

Scouting for Food is the largest one-day food drive in the Boy Scouts of America. Started in Minsi Trails Council in 1986, Scouting for Food has collected more than 3.25 million pounds of food for area food banks. Each year, Scouts, leaders, and parents collect approximately 200,000 pounds of food. The Scouting for Food effort is important since many area food banks are experiencing significant food shortages this year. Nearly 40 percent of food bank donations go to help feed hungry children, so the Scout food drive is in large part about kids feeding kids. All local food donations stay in our local communities to help support area food pantries. Did you receive a Scouting for Food door hanger? Please place food in a bag along with your Scouting for food door hanger where it can be easily seen from the street by 8:00 a.m. on November 10, 2012. Scouts will begin food collection at 8:00 a.m. and finish by noon. Please have food out for pick-up by 8:00 a.m.

Why is it that we so often associate hot weather with high humidity? That’s because warm air holds more moisture than cold air and there is much more water vapor-either visible or invisible--in warm air. The difference is striking. At zero degrees Fahrenheit (30 inches on the barometer) a cubic foot of air will hold about a half grain of water vapor. (A grain is 1/7000 of a pound of water.) But if the temperature is 32 degrees, barely freezing, the same cubic foot of air will hold four times that amount. If the temperature is 70 degrees that same cubic foot of air will hold 16 times as much water vapor or about 8 grams. Therefore in warm weather the humidity is likely to be higher since the moisture capacity of the air is higher. Perspiration develops and since there’s so much moisture in the air, that air doesn’t absorb moisture as quickly as drier air. This also helps explain torrential rains in summer. The air can hold so much moisture that rain can be very heavy. An inch or more of rain might fall in an hour--as happens every summer from large thunderstorms.

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we would have a storm like what this hurricane dumped on us. And even though we’ve lost electricity so much, and are still out of it in some parts, it was nothing compared to how people along the Jersey coast and Staten Island, N.Y. are suffering. It will take years for all of them to recover from their lost homes, without places to go, no heat, and supplies that are lagging. Not even enough gas for the generators if they have them. Hurricane Katrina was terrible, and people there still haven’t fully recovered. But I think Hurricane Sandy was much worse, affecting more people. They need our prayers and money to the Red Cross, Salvation Army and others for the relief efforts. The destruction that the winds and water do is unbelievable. Nature rules and we are so powerless to prevent or stop it. There are so many stories out there of people who are trying to survive and are struggling. Everyone in the path of that hurricane has

suffered in one way or another. . . .For us, it’s strange how some sections didn’t lose power at all, right next to where others have been without it for days and now into a second week. No matter how many electric trucks are out there, there’s still so much to do with wires down, transformers blown, and trees that need to be cut up. . . . With the hurricane coming at a time just when the weather is turning colder and colder, it’s mind boggling to think of how they’ll make out down at the Jersey shore and around New York when snow and ice get here. Let’s hope that the predicted nor’easter that’s supposed to be here Tuesday or Wednesday doesn’t make things even worse. . . .Those who got power back here by the weekend most likely turned on their TV to watch their favorite football teams play on Sunday, just to get their minds off the storm for a while. Eagles fans hadta wait until Monday night. . . .Even the high school games were put

Grow Your Small Business - Guts By CAROL RITTER

I was sitting in a hotel lobby recently waiting to meet with one of my clients, checking my email and sipping on a warm cup of gingerbread coffee. The General Manager, Jim, was behind the desk and it seemed a few of his golfing buddies from the past had come to pay a short visit. “What happened to you.? What happened to your golf pro career?” The GM replied, “I’m still teaching golf, I do it every day.” His friend asked, “How do you do it managing two hotels?” “I teach every afternoon on my way home from work. I leave work at 2:00 and my swing is better than it’s ever been. I see retirement in two years and my wife and I are moving to Hawaii.” I really starting to pay attention, asking myself, “What’s this guy’s secret?” His buddies asked the same questions. He proudly boasted, “Twelve years ago I was the happiest guy in the world. Golf was my passion and I gave up a tiring career in hotel management and gave up a big salary to follow my dream. One day a gentleman signed up for lessons and we started to chat. He told me how he owns two hotels and needs a GM with a lot of experience, especially in handling people. When he came back for his fourth lesson he asked me what would it take to leave here and run my hotels. I can’t think of a thing, I love my job.” He then offered Jim an incredible salary with plenty of benefits. Jim called him the next morning and said NO THANKS, “I’m just loving golfing too much.” Two days later he brings his partner in to double team Jim. “Jim, really, there has to be something we can give you to get you to leave and work for us.” He told Jim to write it down on a piece of paper and meet for lunch tomorrow. So he did! Here’s what the note said Buy me a house - I accept the salary and benefits - I work from 7-2 so I can still teach golf and I will sign a two year contract. The partners said, “Congratulations Jim, see you

Monday morning at 7am.” Now that takes a lot of guts, a little bit of luck and over the top courage. Do you have guts and courage, both necessary as a business leader? Are you willing to ask for something that seems impossible to take your business to the next level? Are you able to identify lady luck when she plants her roots right in front of you? And, do you surround yourself with people who would encourage you to at least consider those gutsy decisions? Think about it.... Next time it could be you!!

Comment On Sports By Lance Dermont

FOOTBALL✷ ✷ ✷ One of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this year has to be the Philadelphia Eagles. Featuring stars such as Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson the Eagles have struggled to a 3-5 record so far this season. Much of the blame has to go to an injury-depleted offensive line missing such stal-

warts as Jason Peters and Jason Kelce. The defense has struggled as well and even the recent firing of offensive line coach turned defensive coordinator Juan Castillo has not turned things around. Particular players having poor years include former all-pros cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha and defensive end Jason Babin. With all of the team’s struggles it is looking more and more likely that this will be the final year for Eagles coach Andy Reid. If that is the case it will be an unfortunate end to what has been the most successful Eagles coaching career ever. Regretably, he was not able to win the Super Bowl, however.

Whitehall Crushes Northampton, 45-3

Northampton’s Konkrete Kids scored three points and that’s all they could muster as Whitehall ran rampant over them in a delayed game because of Hurricane Sandy, blowing away the black and orange, 45-3, in what is called the Cement Bowl. Tomorrow night (Friday), Northampton will host East Stroudsburg South in a game at 7 p.m. It’s their last home game. After that, they travel to Catasauqua on Nov. 22, the Turkey

Day game, at 10 a.m. Easton’s Red Rovers scored a convincing 35-14 victory over the Nazareth Blue Eagles on Monday night. It gave Easton a three-way share of the Lehigh Valley conference championship with Whitehall and Parkland. Held scoreless in the first half, Nazareth got a TD in a 1-yard run by Shabbar Bokhari in the third quarter and a 7-yard run by quarterback Parrish Simmons in the PA003267

American War Veterans at NCC

Off to War and Coming Home: Historical Perspectives on Military Veterans During and After Their Service, 1946-Present will be the theme of a year-long series of programs and activities at Northampton Community College (NCC), 2013 - 2014. The series is supported by a challenge grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and generous donors and in partnership with the Bethlehem Area Public Library, Bethlehem Area School District, Eastern Monroe Public Library, Historic Bethlehem Partnership, Monroe County Historical Society, and Stroudsburg Area High School. Dr. Michael J. McGovern, professor of history, will be the faculty coordinator. "The history of American war veterans during their service and upon reentry to civilian life parallels major issues in the nation and helped to define and shape the present. With World War II veterans dwindling in number, it is important that contemporary students have the opportunity to understand and appreciate the role of military veterans in providing the "primary source" of evidence about the tumultuous and transformative events of the twentieth and early twenty-first century," McGovern says. The series is a chapter in NCC's annual, yearlong humanities, multimedia explorations of important topics in American history. In 2011-2012, the NEH series explored The Meaning of Freedom on the 250th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. The theme for 2012-13 is The American Presidency. Events will be open to the public, free of charge. Further details will be available as events are scheduled. For more information visit www.northampton.edu.

Speedway to get a Book; Photos Wanted Although the Nazareth Speedway has been gone for over eight years, memories of that well loved track are going to be relived in a book from Arcadia Publishing. Tracy BergerCarmen of Bath (Moore Twp.) received approval from the proposal she submitted recently to write the book. Arcadia Publishing carries more than 8,000 local and regional history books including "Bath and Its Neighbors" written by Carol Bear-Heckman of Bath. "Images of Sports: Nazareth Speedway" will be on retailer bookshelves (Including Tracy's Cottage) in Spring 2013 for $21.99. Berger- Carmen is asking the community for their help in contributing pictures and/ or stories for the book. She is looking for anything relating to the track (dirt or asphalt) from pictures in the grandstands to the pits and beyond, any racing division or event. "We are going to try to cover racing and events that took place at Nazareth from 1910 to 2004", Berger- Carmen stated. The final chapter of the book will be the last checkered flag that was waved at Nazareth

in 2004. Berger- Carmen was a media freelance photographer then and some of her photographs will be featured there. If anyone in the community would be interested in contributing photos or stories (photos will be returned after scanning them) to be featured in this book, please contact Tracy Berger- Carmen at (610)5049387, PO Box 13, Bath PA 18014 or email tracyscottage@gmail. com. She has also set up a page on facebook featuring the book "Images of Sports: Nazareth Speedway" that you can "like" and photos that may be in the book will be added as they are collected.

Outdoors Final Courses Scheduled for HTE With small game seasons underway, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe said recently that the agency is scheduling more basic Hunter-Trapper Education (HTE) courses for November so all new hunters can complete this mandatory course to be eligible to participate in the upcoming fall hunting seasons. Becoming certified through a basic Hunter-Trapper Education course is mandatory for all first-time license buyers, regardless of age. “While we have been holding courses all summer, we have found that some people wait until autumn is officially here to begin making plans for the hunting seasons. To meet this need, we scheduled additional courses throughout the state, and they have been filling up fast. So now is the time to register for a course if you want to be eligible to hunt for the first time this season.” Roe noted that after the courses are completed in November, the agency won’t begin a new slate of HunterTrapper Education classes until early in 2013. To register for a course in your area, visit the Game Commission’s website (www. pgc.state.pa.us), clicking on the “Hunter Education Classes” icon in the center of the homepage and then clicking on either “Hunter-Trapper Education” or “Hunter-Trapper Education Independent Study.” With the support of thousands of volunteer instructors and organizations that host classes, HTE courses are being held throughout the state. There is no fee for the basic HTE course. Pre-registration is required and online registration is available for all courses offered by the agency. Taught by dedicated teams of trained volunteers, most HTE classes last at least 10 hours over two or more days, and participants must attend all instruction before taking the test at the end of the course. Youngsters must be at least 11 years old to receive HTE certification.

Exit 67 Off I-78 16 S. Main St. Rt. 412 Hellertown, PA 18055

Registrations also are being accepted for the independentstudy version of the basic HTE program, which is available for those 11 years of age or older. The independent study course requires students to attend a two- to three-hour class to be tested and certified. Prior to this classroom test, however, students must study the entire course content on their own, which takes about eight to 10 hours to complete. Study guides are available online from the registration page or, to request a print version of “Today’s Hunter & Trapper in Pennsylvania,” call the Hunter-Trapper Education Division (717-787-7015) to request a study guide be mailed to you. There is a $1.59 postage fee for mailed study guides. Since 1959, more than 1.8 million students have been

GWS at 11:00 p.m. Tuesday. Colonial Regional Police and fire department notified residents by loudspeakers. Tried to get cots for shelter from Red Cross, but told it would spread their resources too thin. Northampton County advised use of Bethlehem Red Cross shelter on City Line Ave. State of emergency was activated for Bath as well as in Pa., for any FEMA assistance that would be needed. Petrucci and Nigrelli found Met-Ed crew near Nazareth, checking status. By 4:15 p.m. Wednesday, 98% of borough residents had power. Barricades were put up where Met-Ed saw downed power lines, and by Nov. 2 East Main Street was re-opened. After that report, Saginario also commended the fire department and EMS for doing a great job. He said there was a lot of pre-planning, but admitted a need to do more for “next time.” Saginario said communication was the big problem, although he had close contact with the fire fighters. He said they need to do a better check list. “It was a big challenge, but we did pretty well,” he said. Council President Robert Fields commended the borough crew for cleaning up every street, and noted that power was out for about 48 hours. Fire Chief Demchak, in his report, said the fire company had eight calls for assistance in Moore Township. He thanked the school for allowing the shelter to open. Firefighters assisted the road crew with setting four-way stop signs with traffic lights disabled. Demchak said many people put generators in spaces where they didn’t belong. He advised: “Don’t put them in a garage, put them in well ventilated areas outside.” Carbon monoxide is odorless and it’s too late when fumes reach people. They die, as has been the case in other areas. Mayor Donald Wunderler

questioned what happened to the cots and blankets and other emergency equipment that once was stored on the top floor of the municipal building. Saginario said it wasn’t there since he has been the EMC. Drainage Problem • Clark Smith, E. Main St., asked for some remediation of his drainage problem that begins at a next door property formerly operated by the Snyder swimming pool supply store. The original plans were approved and a maintenance period expired in 2010. But Council said they will instruct Boro Engineer Ryan Christman to make an inspection and report back on what should be done, with some escrow money still available. BBCP Request • Linda Roth of the Bath Business & Community Partnership (BBCP) requested $10,300 for 2013 revitalization.

She reminded Council of all the BBCP accomplishments made in 2012. Grants that have been received were reimbursable because of the financial backing they had. Mary Kositz of BBCP said that 700 volunteer hours were given this year. She commended Sharon Davis, LVCC coordinator, for all the help she has given. Kositz said that six new businesses opened in Bath this year. They want to network with the business owners. “We want to bring them all together,” they said. Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman, a member of BBCP, said they are all volunteers and they do things with Council’s knowledge, everything for the borough.

Council thankful damage Not worse from hurricane

By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Kenneth Hall, emergency management coordinator, reported to Northampton Borough Council on Thursday night that the community survived the wrath of super storm Hurricane Sandy. Members of Council were thankful for the teamwork of local crews that dealt with its impact. Hall said crews were called out 12 to 20 times at the height of the storm and portions of the borough were without power for 22 to 24 hours. Some trees were knocked down by the fierce winds, several on borough property. But there was no real damage, and people cooperated by keeping off the roads. Council president John Yurish thanked all the borough employees and volunteers who helped in the storm, looking for potential

Councilman Robert McHale, also thanking the emergency crews who responded, said, “It could have been a lot worse.” Mayor Tom Reenock said people were reasonable and “glad we were there.” Councilmen Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. and Jr. added comments. Sr. noted,”We have one hell of a lot of good people in Northampton –– the fire department, girls in the office, road crew, police, ambulance service –– they know what to do.” He commended the leaders who use “reason and rationalize before implementing decisions.” Jr. said, “Hats off to all the crews.” Councilman Ed Pany, looking at Fire Chief Robert Sold-

It went really good.” Hall expressed concern about the second annual Delaware & Lehigh Heritage fund-raising marathon/ half marathon scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 4. With a utility pole leaning well over Laubach Ave., that section of the street has been closed. He said he would meet with the organizers to divert the expected 1,500 runners away from that section and on to 14th St. after they left Smith Lane and went north on Canal St. to Rt. 329 and then to Cementon, Walnutport, and into Palmerton. Trick or Treat Northampton went ahead with trick or treat night on Wednesday after the storm had passed. Council agreed it worked out very well. Said Mayor Reenock, “It was a family time,” McHale adding that a lot of parents were with the youngsters and they were safe. Borough manager Gene Zarayko said 390 kids came to his house. “Everybody worked together, people had their lights on, and it worked out very well.” Yurish had told Council that “phones were ringing off the wall” with people accusing him of putting lives at risk. But he said some of those calls came from Allen Township and other places where kids were coming into town. “I didn’t want to postpone it. “The kids had off

sented by the College's C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, the Comegys Bight Fellowship Program offers stipends to support summer internships at some of the nation's leading historical and cultural institutions. These paid internships annually provide a handful of students with high-level research experience on topics related to American history pre-1900. Over the summer, Weisenberger worked at the Maryland State Archives, further pursuing research he began at the Maryland Historical Society, studying AfricanAmerican Marylanders in the War of 1812. He also traveled to London with Maryland State Archivist Edward Papenfuse to delve into the British National Archives, seeking evidence of escaped slaves who joined the invading forces. Weisenberger presented his findings at a special program on campus on October 15th. Weisenberger majored in history and minored in political science. He graduated magna cum laude and with departmental honors, and was the recipient of the Arthur A. Knapp Memorial Prize in History and a Quill and Compass Scholarship. While at Washington College, Weisenberger was active in Phi Alpha Theta, the Men's Rugby Club, the Douglass Cater Society for Junior Fellows and was a tutor for the Writing Center. Founded in 1782 under the patronage of George Wash-

ington, Washington College is a private, independent college of liberal arts and sciences located in colonial Chestertown on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Hahn to host Veterans outreach

State Rep. Marcia Hahn (R-Northampton) is continuing her partnership with the Pennsylvania American Legion to make services available to local veterans on a monthly basis. The latest in a series of outreach meetings will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Hahn’s district office, located at 354 West Moorestown Road, Nazareth. Area veterans may seek assistance and information pertaining to specific benefits and programs at that time. “I am proud to partner

with the American Legion to ensure local veterans’ concerns are addressed,” Hahn said. “There is a large group of veterans in Lehigh Valley, and it is important to me to offer my office as a resource to the men and women who have so admirably served our country.” Frederick Smith, a service officer with the American Legion, will be in attendance that day to address any concerns veterans may have. Hahn is asking anyone interested in making an appointment to contact her office. To schedule an appointment or to discuss any other legislative issue, please call Hahn’s district office at (610) 746-2100 or her Harrisburg office at (717) 783-8573.

VETERANS DAY 2012 IN MEMORY AND HONOR… During the past year, we have had the privilege of serving the families of Veterans. We are honored to be of service to them in their time of need, just as their loved one was there in our time of need. On Veteran’s 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. Ruth I.

“One of the last things we heard was a large thud, and that was a day before the storm,” said Peggy Moser, president of Horner’s Cemetery Historical Society. Last, Saturday, Jeffrey Hugo and his crew from Walnutport, cut down the last two remaining dead trees inside the walls of Northampton County’s oldest cemetery (1745) on Rt. 329 in East Allen Township. Moser said, “We waited a long time to find the right person and the right time to do the job. We were looking for someone for four years who cared and was experienced enough to remove the trees that threatened a large group of tombstones. Time wise, there was a small window. We had to wait for the cornfield to be emptied and also remove the trees by the end of October.” When the work was scheduled, no one knew the area’s largest storm would hit soon after. Moser said, “We are very grateful to Mr. Hugo for saving some of the most fragile and valuable historic resources of Craig’s ScotchIrish Settlement (1728). If not for him, there would have been irreversible damage to the stones of the founders of Northampton County.” Craig’s Scotch-Irish Settlement was the first permanent community of Northampton County (1728). It reached and included the towns of Bath and Northampton. It also included land from Allen and East Allen Townships. The founders formed the first congregation in 1731, the first church in 1732, and the first cemetery in 1745. The location of the church and cemetery are centrally located in the settlement at 4955 Nor-Bath Blvd. Northampton, PA. Horner’s Cemetery represents the only reminder of such an important and influential group of people. There are 21 veterans from four wars, including the French & Indian War; something not common place to this area. The list of the veterans of the American Revolution include General Robert Brown, General John Ralston, and General Arthur Lattimore. Born here but not buried here was Brig. Gen. Thomas Craig. The founders of the towns of Bath and Northampton are buried here. James Ralston built Fort Ralston and laid out the town of Bath, Gen. Lattimore owned the first house in Bath, and Hugh Wilson made Wilson’s Blockhouse and was the first to build in the town of Northampton. Other notables include Jane Horner, first woman killed by Indians in Northampton County. George Palmer was the Surveyor General of PA and surveyor of the Penn family. Robert Gregg was on the first Grand Jury, and was one of the first three Commissioners of Northampton Co. PA. John Hays, Jr. was commissary of Purchases
