Towing Operators Question Lehigh Twsp. Police Chief By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Lehigh Township has five towing companies, and they were represented at the Aug. 28 meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors. They came, concerned that a change in policy could prove costly to their individual pocketbooks. The towing companies include Rick and Paul Leibenguth, M & R Motors, Cherryville Service Center, Amey’s Garage, and Erschen’s Ga-

rage. Under present policy, whenever there is an emergency in which vehicles need to be towed, there is a system that involves all five on a rotating basis. Their concerns were raised after newly hired Police Chief Scott Fogel came to an Aug. 14 meeting and included among his review of policies and procedures in the township of determining which towing service to contact in emergenContinued on page 8

Way to go Big N Band Kids Head Back to Class At Northampton Area By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The Northampton Big N Band topped off Labor Day weekend with a successful fundraiser car wash. More than 65 band members and parents volunteered more than 325 hours total of non-stop washing, serenading, selling baked goods, directing traffic and working together as a committed team! Thank you everyone who donated to our worthy cause for our Kids! Some of the band members took time out to play tunes.

INDEX:

With the summer vacations and the Labor Day holiday just passed, children throughout the Northampton Area School District returned to their classrooms on Tuesday morning. With joyous faces, they disembarked from their school buses at the elementary schools of George Wolf in Bath, Lehigh in Lehigh Township, Moore in Moore Town-

ship, and Colonel Siegfried and Franklin in Northampton Borough. Children who live nearest to the schools in the boroughs walked to classes. They were welcomed by teachers and administrators at all of the schools, ready to take on the 2012-13 term of studies. Students at the Northampton Area Middle School are still in their building at Northampton, but after this

ervation Board. In the past couple of years the township has spent a lot of money on preserving land in the township and for this I am thankful. But questions have arisen by residents about the type of land being preserved. It seems that land that is environmentally sensitive is being preserved and not farm land. When the question was brought up at a meeting by a resident the Solicitor for Moore Township informed those attending that meeting that the money could be used for farm land or qualified open space land. The properties that have been preserved in Moore Township are worthy of being saved because they are pristine. But some of the residents, including myself, feel that corn and soybean fields need to be protected more. WHY? Because they are more vulnerable to development by builders. With the existing S.A.L.D.O. (Subdivsion and Land Development Ordinance) and zoning it would be difficult for a builder to put housing on some of the properties that have been preserved. A builder does not buy fifty acres of land to put ten to twelve homes on it. He buys fifty acres hoping to put thirty to forty homes on it. I cannot and will not speak for the Board of Supervisors of Moore township, but I for one feel that the more farmland we save is the way to better serve the residents of Moore township. The members who serve on the E.A.C. should remember that they are an advisory council and that there more than one opinion on which properties should be preserved. Jeffery Ayers Moore Township

the Fence GabGab OverOver the Fence by Pete G. Ossip by Pete G. Ossip

The kids are all back in school and settled into their studies, not just readin’ writin’ and ‘rithmetic anymore, but all the other new technology that goes with today’s learning. Still, they are the basics, so if the youngsters do lots of reading and studying they’ll be learning a lot and have a successful life later on. Best wishes to all of them, and to the teachers, too!! . . . . The Great Allentown Fair ended on Monday. Seems to me we didn’t hear an awful lot about it this year, but it was always a big thing to walk the midway and see the shows they put on in the grandstand, along with judging all the flower, dairy and sewing exhibits. Things may have changed, but I hope folks who got over there enjoyed the whole fair. . . . Labor Day was quiet, the weather was so-so, not so great, with all the cloud cover and a sprinkle

here and there. Even if it may have spoiled a backyard picnic, folks had a chance to relax from work for a day with their families at home, with vacations over for another summer. . . .Those Phillies did okay until the last game with the Atlanta Braves, and that was a crusher! To be ahead 7-3 in the 9th inning and then to lose it on a home run. But you hafta give credit to Chipper Jones. He’s a real pro and he took care of things with a blast in the 9th. Ye Ed’s daughter, Gail, was at the game, and they were trading phone calls back and forth, when the Phillies were ahead and later when they lost. It was good to see the Phils bounce back and win at the Reds on Labor Day anyhow. . . I hear the state highway crews are gonna do some more milling of 512 down south of Bath this week, and maybe even finish that black-

topping job. Who knows? It’s been dragging on so long. . . . If you remember, last week I was thinking it was Lottie Roth, but come to think of it, I believe it was Jennie Roth that was a relative of George Creyer. . . .Elmira’s been nagging me to get a dog for the house, suggesting maybe a Poodle or a little Terrier. I’m leaning toward a Golden Retriever. Sure not a Brittany or a Labrador. They’re too excitable. I like a nice quiet dog that’s friendly, not one that jumps around and claws you. But we’ll see who wins out in that debate. . . . Republican convention is all over, and now it’s the Democrats’ turn. It’s gonna be a hot race for the presidency, so we’ll see who comes out on top. Some think it’s gonna be close in November. Others are thinking landslide one way or the other. Whatever, the main thing is that when the time comes for the election everybody gets out there and votes. Talk is cheap, voting is action. . . . So I’ll tune in to the TV this week, and hear what both sides are saying. . . . Have a great week, gang!

The Bath Farmers Market held their 2nd annual salsa competition last Friday. The contest, which encourages locals to use fresh ingredients to make their own recipe salsa, was a huge hit for the second year in a row. Both amateur and professional salsa makers, including Easton Salsa Company, came with great recipes. There were traditional garden salsas, including mild and hot as well as pear, peach, grilled corn and pepper and salsa verde. Lauren S. was crowned this year’s winner of the salsa competition. She won with a garden salsa made from her own homegrown fresh vegetables. The Bath Farmers Market will run until the end of September from 3-7 p.m. at Keystone Park. This week will feature chili peppers and the many uses for them. The Boy Continued on page 7

Know The Weather

When does fall arrive this year? Are there any fall weather signs which tell weather the coming winter will be severe? Fall arrives on the 22nd of September this year. From the 22nd until December 22, the days will continue to grow shorter and there will be more darkness than daylight every twenty-four hours. Nature provides a few clues to the winter ahead. Birds usually depart for the south with an uncanny knowledge of approaching cold weather. The caterpillar known as the Wooly Bear is a clue many believe in. If one will take a look at this caterpillar in the fall and note the width of his brown ban in the center, that will forecast the winter, it is said. A wide band means a mild winter. Others say animals tend to grow a thicker coat before a severe winter. See if you can prove one or more of these theories.

Weekend Forecast Northampton County

The Eastern PA Weather Authority is calling for a high of 85 today with variable cloudiness and a 30% chance of thunderstorms. We will see partly cloudy skies with a low of 68 tonight. Friday will be partly cloudy with a high of 84 and Saturday may bring some thunderstorms for the Northampton Street Fair. Otherwise, temperatures will be right around 80 degrees. Sunday will bring showers with a high of 78 degrees. The extended forecast is calling for rain most of the day on Monday with a high of 78.

A Long Flight Home: Back to America By Christine Zopf Home News Editorial Intern

On July 3, I woke up to find my room cleaner than the night before. My roommates, Rachel and Chloe, looked like zombies as they stumbled around the room getting their things together at the last minute. As a team we took our bedding to be washed, emptied our trash, and left the room almost as it was when we arrived. All was in place except the picture we had taken from my brother Philip's room for decoration. After gathering in the lobby, the GAPP students boarded a bus that would take us to

Munich's airport. We quickly went through security before waiting for our plane at the gate. Most of us sat in near silence, listening to music or just waiting patiently. The realization that we were really leaving happened when the plane was taking off. We made ourselves comfortable and switched seats so we could be close to our friends. I took a window seat. I wanted to see what the ground looked like from 30,000 feet. The plane ride home was almost two hours longer than the ride to Germany. This normally wouldn't have bothered me, but I had a throbbing mi-

graine and my compartment of the plane had four infant passengers. They cried for the entire eight hours, and no amount of Advil could alleviate my headache. It got to the point where when one baby would start to cry, I almost cried. The plane ride dragged out, and I tried to drown out the sound of infants screaming with movies and music. When our plane finally touched down in Newark, I was relieved. We made our way through customs, and out of all twenty-seven of us, my brother was the only one who needed his bags searched. Our bus was waiting out front to take us home, a short drive compared to the ones we had taken in Germany. Since I didn't have my phone, I used my friend Steph's phone to text my mom, telling her how long until we arrived in Northampton, and to bring Foxy, my dog, to the school when they picked us up. As the bus pulled up in front of the high school I looked around the parking lot, searching for my parent's car. It wasn't there. I can't say I was surprised, we arrived five minutes earlier than we expected, and my parents are the type of people to be right on time. When they did pull up, I saw my dog, with her head out the window, waiting for us. My family and I embraced, and the car ride home was full of questions about the trip. Although it was 3 a.m. German time, I wasn't as tired as I had expected to be. Over the next few days I tried to get back into the swing of American life. The biggest challenge I faced was readjusting to the time difference. By 5 p.m. I would be ready to go to bed, but I forced myself to stay awake. I also had to readjust to working. For three weeks, I hadn't taken a single order, but I quickly learned I hadn't forgotten anything while I was gone. After a few days I had completely readjusted to American life. It was as though I had never been gone. Looking back on my time in Germany, I believe I made the most of it. I took every opportunity and although at times I missed things about America, I never once felt overwhelmed by the German culture or language. If anything, I became caught up in it, and

embraced it as my own. The GAPP program has given me so much: fond memories, new friendships, and a more open mind to new things. One day I hope I make it back to Germany, whether it be a vacation or an extended stay as a resident. For as long as I live, I will always have a special place in my heart for the German family who took me in, and a small town called Gladenbach. So readers, our journey together has come to a close. I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have. Maybe I've even inspired you to take a tour of Germany yourself. If so, I wish you the best of luck and happy travels, and if not, well, maybe someday. So that's all for now and until we meet again, Auf Wiedersehen!

Konkrete Kids Taking on Defending Champ Nazareth Northampton Senior High School’s football team opened the 2012 season in a non-league game on Friday, defeating Stroudsburg, 20-14. Nick Cook completed six passes for 251 yards, two of them to Kyle George of 73 and 65 yards for touchdowns. Cook also rushed for one yard on the winning touchdown in the third quarter. Northampton scored a TD in each of the first three quarters. Also on Friday night, Nazareth easily defeated Pleasant Valley in their opener, 50-28. The Blue Eagles scored one touchdown in the first quarter, and racked up 20 points in both the second and third, and another 13 in the fourth for the victory. The touchdowns were by Jordan Gray (3, 26 and 24-yard runs); Anthony Gaetaniello on 46-yard and 30-yard passes from Parish Simmons; and Simmons, 2 and 10-yard runs.

son of Jan Graver from Graver Farmstead in Bath showed his four pigs and came home a winner. He won the Bred and Owned category with his pigs named Earl and Maxine. The judge was excellent and took the time with each 4-H’er to discuss the merits of each of their pigs. In the spring, the 4-H’er must go out and purchase a young pig to raise for the season. Hopefully, they use the knowledge gained from the previous year’s judge to select the market hog with the correct conformation. The winning hog was selected from Graver’s own piglets. That makes him a “bred-and owned” 4-H’er.

cies. That stirred up a hornet’s nest with the operators and they came out to the Aug. 28 meeting in force. First to comment at the Aug. 28 meeting was Rick Leibenguth, who feared that Chief Fogel may be planning to go outside the township for towing services. “This gentleREGISTERED

man wants to change everything around. Why? It could affect our livelihood.” Solicitor David Backenstore said his impression was that the towing be rotated. He said he realizes that their livelihood could be affected, and doesn’t believe that the Supervisors would change their policy. One of the operators noted that for the last six or seven years the towing has been on a rotating basis, with data set by the police department. He

said that the police might find out that the present system is working, and another person said his (the chief’s) concern “shouldn’t be on pricing.” “If there is any change in policy,” Backenstoe said, it would be done by the board, and chairman Darryl Snover added that “no change is planned.” Supervisor Cynthia Miller said, “The chief is looking at everything and just wanted to cite examples.” Fogel had also mentioned officer training

and changes regarding use of force at the Aug. 14 meeting. Supervisor Dell Grove said he remembers two bills – one $150 another $200. So he wants to look at the minutes. “Let’s not be upset,” he told the operators. Chief Fogel is planning on meeting with the towing operators and wants to attend the first meeting each month of the supervisors. It has been learned since the meeting that Chief Fogel

Sept. 6-12, 2012

Much Business on Docket at Nazareth Council’s Workshop By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News There were plenty of items for consideration and discussion at a workshop meeting of Nazareth Borough Council on Thursday. Items that would be voted on for action were brought to the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday. • A Main St. resident who is with the high school’s S.A.D.D. organization asked for permission to have a 5K run on Saturday, Oct. 13, beginning at Borough Park, with registration at 9 a.m. He said 150 persons are expected to participate. Oct. 13 is the same day as the Halloween parade, but Council was told the run would probably end at 10:30 or 11 a.m. The request will be brought up at a committee meeting on Sept. 17, according to Councilman Jack Herbst. As part of the Halloween event, it was noted that local Girl Scouts will be decorating local business places with scarecrows. • Secretary Paul Kokolus an-

nounced that a 2012 Economic Development grant for a storm water improvement project in the borough has been approved in an amount of $125,000. The project will be coordinated with Essroc and Holy Family. Nazareth will get $27,500 from Northampton County gaming grants to build a street to connect W. Prospect St. and G. W. Stoudt Blvd. • Councilman Larry Stoudt revealed that the skate park had been closed for two days because of a problem caused by scooters/bicyclists. To compound the problem, a car was used to ram into the skate park gate, so the skate park was closed a third day. He noted that crosswalk lights may be considered for the future at Broad & Belvidere, but they would cost up to $5,000. Stoudt said another thing to consider in the 2013 budget would be new parking meters. Council President Dan Chiavaroli said one possible change of the system would be using ki-

osks that could handle five meters. But Councilwoman Cindy Werner asked, “Are we here for the meter business, or are we doing it for the businesses?” Councilman Michael Kopach suggested getting rid of all the meters, and have police monitor parking, but Stoudt said everybody would be trying for parking spots. Nickel meters are a thing of the past and now take mostly quarters. In a final note, Stoudt reported that the Arts Commission is concerned about the high cost for heating in their building. He believes it is because of only two zones in the building and that it could be corrected by re-wiring. Doing that, along with other needs to regulate the heat, he estimated the cost at $2,500. • Councilman Frank Maurek said a notice would be going out to 32 property owners about sidewalks that should be taken care of. In addition, Code Enforcement Officer Dennis Huth sent a notice to a Seip Ave. property owner that renovations need to be finished soon. Maurek announced that a recycling day will be held on Sept. 22 at the Nazareth Intermediate School. Hoppes Tree Service of Bath had the low bid for trimming trees in the borough. Maurek said it is now Council who must be contacted whenever there is any planting or trimming of trees, so that the Shade Tree Commission may be disbanded. In a final item, Maurek said a flagpole is planned and the

Continued from page 10 police monument moved to the police building. • Councilman Carl Fischl asked whose responsibility it is to clean up a street after a traffic accident. It was done recently by neighbors and not the tow truck operator. It was discussed, but no consensus was reached. Fischl told Council that a new pickup truck for the fire department is being lettered. He also asked if it is possible to set up a fire truck fund as a rescue truck and pumper are getting old. Stoudt remarked that he tried in the past to have a vehicle fund and it was the first to be cut in budgets. Ms. Werner said a person’s life was saved in a fire because of a bucket truck, so equipment is important. • Herbst noted a request for a handicapped parking space at 30 E.

News Sermonette Rev. Debra K Hess

St. Thomas United Church of Christ, Bethlehem

Start of a New Year Though traditionally Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, as I write this, I am looking out my porch window with a view of my backyard, where I already see leaves changing color. I sigh deeply, already grieving the loss of this season, when I hear the meteorologist announce that our summer days are measured by later sunrise and earlier sunset times. All too soon, summer will be a scrapbook of memories. Moving forward, much can be said for September. Some of us are looking ahead to cooler days and brilliant fall landscapes. Children and youth, teachers and staff, have begun a new school year. At our church, we are preparing for a new church calendar year with a variety of activities and programs that will help to support and to shape the future of our ministries. So what makes this church year start any different from another? Nothing, really. On the edge of a change of season and a change of routine, people of all ages come to experience a sense of the living and still-speaking God. Young and old alike come to nurture their souls, in search of something to hold on to and be a part of something bigger than their own individual selves. Generation after generation has embraced all these reasons why we continue to populate our pews at the start of a new church year. The psalmist of Psalm 84 speaks of it as the experience of generations of church goers who, trusting in God, have “seen” God and has given strength that transforms them and their lives. As we journey through the seasons and the spaces and places they offer, we bring blessings and are enlivened and empowered by the hope of seeing God and experiencing God’s strength; through that comes both joy and blessing. But what happens when people can no longer travel to that beloved place of worship? How many of them still yearn for the “means of grace” to be in the house of God? The psalmist is aware of this because it is an acknowledgement of his own need for spiritual nurture, and the necessity for people to share together in worship. There are people who will not be coming back to worship this new church year for a variety of reasons beyond their control, i.e. declining health, moving into assisted living facilities, moving in with their families outside of our region. We do recognize, however, it never is the walls of the church that identify us with the church: that would be our own form of idolatry. Rather, the faithful of long ago, and us today, keep coming back to God because God is at the heart of everything we do. It is God who is the real source of life whatever our setting. No matter where people are when the new church year begins – a new place or space – they still yearn for the ‘means of grace’ to be in the house of God. They yearn for the sacraments and familiarity of hymns and prayers and corporate worship. Whether it is our own home or a new home in a new facility, we are told by the psalmist that even the sparrows and swallows find a place in the sacred places of the temple. They too, are looking for safety and security and a place to nest. God cares for the least of these as God cares for each one of us. In God’s unfolding plan for us, God continues to be at the heart of everything that we do. niversary will be in 2015 and a one-day parade might mark the event. . . .She also revealed receipt of $2,000 grant for the Arts Commission and said there are at last four homes planned to be open for a holiday house tour on Dec. 8, with more possible. • Councilman Kopach said new storm drains were put in at W. St. Elmo St. by Upper Nazareth Township, with Naza-

reth sharing the cost of $15,000, without the engineering fee. The highway superintendent said the drain cut the water runoff by half. Kopach noted a complaint by Oswald’s Jewelry store on Center St. about people congregating at the porch. Stoudt said a sign was moved from there to other locations. • Secretary Kokolus reminded Council about the Sept. 29 awards recognition banquet, and Councilman Rev. William Matz will preside.

School

Continued from page 1

Board meeting, the directors voted to table the community education program while it hires a new coordinator. Patricia Gaettaniello, who had headed the program for several years, resigned recently and it was accepted at this past Monday’s meeting. Classes in the past have included subjects like art, water aerobics, and jewelry, among others, but the program has been losing money, around $1,600, even though some 160 people who were enrolled paid between $30 and $70 to participate in the community education. If the school board approves a new program, classes could begin again in January, according to sources.

Other Matters • The proposed Master Concept Plan was tabled until the next meeting, with Township Manager Alice Rehrig noting that she had contacted three companies. • A waiver of the 35% requirement that players must be residents of the township was approved. That followed a request by the Northampton Booster Club. Supervisor Sandy Hopkins said she didn’t see anything wrong with Northampton using the ball field if other teams are not scheduled. The Recreation Board is looking at each case individually, and as long as there is no conflict, they went with the waiver. • Hanover Engineering was

used

accepted as sewage enforcement officer for the township. • Larry Turoczy of Lehigh Engineering was concerned about sewer and water under Act 537 regarding a property that the company has in which inquiries have been received for its commercial use. He said sewage modules were approved by DEP for their new office with regard to water and sewer. Now they must be approved under Act 537. Turoczy said he has contacted DEP, who noted that since 1998 they have to comply with Act 537. He said boundary maps would have to be revised in order to do this for the property at Lehigh & Rt. 145. Mrs. Miller encouraged that if the township wants commercial development in that area. Snover said he would prefer that township engineer Phillip Malitsch be present to discuss the situation at the next meeting on Sept. 11. He noted that he’s uncomfortable when anything has to be done in dealing with the state (DEP is a state agency). • An extension of time was granted for the minor subdivision of Leon and Sharon Liggitt until Dec. 31, 2012.
