Community Organizations 1937

Kate Gogel (center) with NAHS Guidance Counselor Kim Butryn and Principal Robert Steckel.

By KERI LINDENMUTH On Thursday, April 12, Post L Lehigh Valley of the Travelers Protective Association (TPA) honored sixteen area high school students who embody the spirit of community leadership and giving back. The young men and women recognized by the 127-year-old organization are active both in and out of the classroom. They are star students, athletes, and volunteers who have taken the time to not only give back to others, but who have also inspired their peers to follow their altruistic lead. “Tonight is about you,” said Pat Palencar, officer of the TPA’s

Altruism Program and director of the TPA’s Deaf and Near Deaf Trust Fund. Northampton Area High School senior Kate Gogel was among the students awarded by the TPA. Northampton Area High School guidance counselor Kim Butryn had nothing but praise for Gogel. Over the years she has worked with many students, she said, but very few who demonstrated the selflessness and humility of Gogel. “There has never been a task too small or too beneath her to Continued on page 3

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Peripheral Neuropathy If you currently suffer with peripheral neuropathy, you are already aware of the pain, dysfunction and lifestyle disruption that occurs. Even the name makes this condition sound painful. Initially the symptoms may be barely detectable, yet over time can get worse and lead to significant reduction of independence. Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a severe disorder of your nerves. While it is true that diabetes accounts for many cases, oftentimes, peripheral neuropathy is unable to be linked to a specific factor. With that being said, this condition can be caused by medications such as statin drugs or chemo therapy, exposure to poisons and toxic substances, vitamin deficiencies, trauma, compression of

What also appears to be a significant factor is the role poor circulation plays in the severity of this condition. This last one is a huge prob-

lem across the board. Peripheral neuropathy affects the legs, feet, arms and hands. Symptoms include: loss of balance, tingling, restless legs, numbness, burning, freezing, weakness and throbbing pain. Additionally, swelling, discoloration, fatigue and “heavy” feelings of limbs can occur. It can be common to experience extreme sensitivity to even light touch. I have patients who describe feeling like they are wearing socks when they clearly are not. To make matters worse, blood pressure abnormalities can occur and, of course, difficulty with sleep and routine activities of daily living further complicate this upsetting condition. Some present to my office with thinking that they may just have sciatica or pinched nerves. They could and often do. However, while compression of sensitive nerve tissue is always evaluated for in my practice, PN goes significantly beyond and such cases Continued on page 4

Sinkhole causes Headaches for East Allen family By KERI LINDENMUTH When Annemarie and David Jones purchased their property on Gwenmawr Road, part of the Tuskes Hanover Oaks development (formerly known as Valley View Estates), they had no idea that a sinkhole had once been on their property. “We worked very hard to build this home,” Mrs. Jones told the East Allen Board of Supervisors on April 11. After moving onto the property in summer 2017, however, the Jones family quickly realized something was not right. “We had no driveway, no grading, no lawn,” Mrs. Jones continued. “We did not know what was wrong with our yard.” Grass, she said, was not growing, and rain formed swamps on their two acre property. The house was not settling properly. Mrs. Jones estimates that her and her husband had called repairmen over to the home at least 70 times over the nine months they have lived there. The Jones family decided to investigate the issue. After going through files at the East Allen Township municipal building, they ran across a map of their development. This map showed nine sinkhole and depression sites around their neighborhood. Then, Mrs. Jones found a 2013 FEMA report that stated a sink-

hole was discovered on her property. The status of the sinkhole did not say “remediated.” “Tuskes led us to believe we were buying a property without elevated sand mounds or sinkholes,” Mrs. Jones told supervisors. While she and her husband were able to find proof of the sinkhole on their property, they are currently unable to find any proof that the sinkhole was remediated before they acquired the property. “We cannot seem to get any information,” said Mrs. Jones. “We need something to get homeowner’s insurance.” Township engineer James Milot assured them that the sinkhole was fixed. He says seven of the nine sinkholes and depressions were addressed. He told the Jones family that the sinkhole on their property, which a road currently goes through, was one of those remediated. However, a lack of paperwork means the Jones family is not quick to believe that the issue is resolved. “If you do not have the documentation, where is the proof?” asked David Jones. All of the issues facing their property are something “indicative of a sinkhole, not a remediated sinkhole.” “If it was remediated,” said

Mrs. Jones, “it was not done properly.” The Jones family asked supervisors to provide them with any documentation they have on their property’s sinkhole history, including proof of remediation and proof that the property was cleared to be built on. Supervisor Roger Unangst promised to supply the Jones family with all of the paperwork the township has available. “We have had run off and erosion,” said Mrs. Jones. “That by itself should not have been allowed by East Allen.”

require an advanced, multi-factorial, clinical type of approach. With all this being said, neuropathies are a challenge to treat. In the more advanced stages, I find that treatment is successful if even only 25 or 50 percent improvements are made. Remember, this condition is not only how you “feel” but also about being completely unable to live your life as you want too. With PN, even simple tasks are a burden. I recently observed a glaring example of how PN can disrupt the quality of life. I was travelling through Massachusetts recently and while stopped at a country diner, my wife and I saw a middle-aged gentleman painfully climb from his vehicle. Due to his poor balance and apparent weakness, he needed to cling to the door of his vehicle, and then shuffle down his hood, grabbed onto bushes until he finally got to the walkway rails to the front door and just about collapsed on the front counter as he ever-

so-slowly made his way into the restaurant. This gentleman’s legs were reddish/brown, swollen and significant varicose veins were protruding. My wife was upset to see it and candidly so was I. From my natural perspective, once appropriately evaluated with a thorough history, blood work, circulatory evaluation and sensory exam, peripheral neuropathy can be likely improved upon. I recommend and utilize various FDA approved devices such as near infra-red lasers and nerve regeneration devices, vibration therapy, circulation improving techniques, along with a proven metabolic program geared towards neuropathy. A side note needs to be made in that the Cancer Centers of America also use one of the techniques that I administer. This is a big topic and all the nuances cannot be addressed in a single discussion. Please know that PN can be serious and debilitating; however you do have choices and possible avenues to obtain relief and improve your quality of life. My best to you.

PennDOT Announces Traffic deaths At new low in 2017 Submitted by SEAN BROWN

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that traffic deaths in Pennsylvania reached a new low in 2017, dropping to 1,137, the lowest since record keeping began in 1928, and 51 less than 2016. “Pennsylvania has continued

www.HomeNewsPA.com

to defy national crash trends by steadily decreasing the number of deaths on our roadways,” PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards said. “Our biggest priority continues to be getting the public to their destinations safely through educational outreach, the latest innovations, effective enforcement and low-cost safety improvements.” While the number of highway deaths dropped in many types of crashes, there were significant decreases noted in impaired driver, pedestrian, and unrestrained fatalities. Fatalities in impaired driver crashes dropped from 341 in 2016 to 246 in 2017. Unrestrained fatalities also decreased from 408 in 2016 to 378 last year. There were 150 pedestrian deaths in crashes in 2017 compared to 172 in 2016. Aside from the year-to- year decline, longer-term trends also continue to decrease. For example, compared to 2013, there were 71 fewer total traffic deaths, 203 fewer deaths in crashes involving impaired drivers, and 47 fewer unrestrained deaths. There were some types of crashes, which saw fatality increases in 2017. There were 153 fatalities that occurred in crashes involving drivers aged 75 years or older, up from 132 in 2016. Also, fatalities in red-light running crashes increased to 35 from 28 in 2016. Finally, fatalities in work zone crashes increased from 16 to 19. The department also recently unveiled additional enhancements to its Pennsylvania Crash Information Tool (PCIT) website, www.dotcrashinfo.pa.gov which uses reportable crash data from law enforcement to assist in reviewing this data. Users can now select a geographic location using a map by using a drawing feature that helps select a specific geographic area, like a public neighborhood, school or other Continued on page 5

FedEx Ground plans for Summer ‘soft opening’ By KERI LINDENMUTH It was announced during the Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, April 10 that FedEx Ground is planning to start operations in its Willowbrook Road facility around late May and early June. Supervisors described the move as a “soft opening.” This time period will be dedicated to employee training. About 225 employees will be onsite, which is less than the current amount of tradesmen currently working on the property. This “soft opening” is on schedule with FedEx’s plans to obtain a certificate of occupancy and begin truck deliveries later this summer. FedEx hopes to commence full operations in September. However, some supervisors expressed concern about this fastmoving project. Supervisor Gary Behler did not believe roads are ready to handle such an influx of volume. “No trucks should be allowed until all road improvements are made,” he said. Improvements are slated for Race Street, Willowbrook Road, and Airport Road. These improvements must be finished by September. However, Behler said the increase in truck traffic from FedEx will make these improvements even harder to complete. Township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell, Jr. explained the agreement between FedEx and the township states FedEx can begin occupancy when the road

improvements “necessary” for its opening are complete. PennDOT also made this agreement. Treadwell warned that denying occupancy to FedEx because not all improvements have been made can land the township in legal trouble. “I do not want to see this township paying for the project if we deny occupancy,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “We would be paying for it in other ways,” countered Behler. Other Allen Township news: Also during the April 10 meeting, Christine Mildner of Barry Isett & Associates gave supervisors a presentation on MS4 requirements. The township is entering a new cycle of its MS4 Pollution Reduction Plan. The renewal application is due in September. Mildner explained that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection wants to make sure all townships know where waste is coming from, what is happening to it, and where it goes. Studies indicate that Allen Township has 108 tons of sediment it must reduce in its storm water systems. While the township has already started best management practices (or BMPs) with naturalized basins along Savage Road and other retention ponds, there is more it must do. Mildner says her team has identified township and county properties in drainage areas and is looking at ways BMPs and reduction plans can be implemented. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 24.

by CAROL RITTER

So you want to Be a speaker?

Did you ever have the urge to be a paid speaker? Did you notice I said the word paid? Do you have the confidence to stand up in front of an audience and deliver a high impact, meaningful speech to hundreds of people? Sound simple? Quite the contrary, it’s a long road but, once accomplished, very satisfying and an honorable career. Were you born a speaker or are you a highly trained speaker? Either way you have won half of the battle. In case you wondered, speakers are born to speak and can be trained. In my coaching business, I see speakers that have a gift, they can deliver, they can give an audience what they want and they understand their audience. Then, I see those who have a burning desire or a topic/message they would like to share. Regardless, here are ten simple steps to get the engine started on the road to speaking for a living:

1. Set goals you would like to achieve within the first year. (Two speeches per month, for example.)

2. Decide who will benefit from your speech and, even more, who will hire you.

3. Create a speaking brand,

logo, title, speech, and subject.

4. Begin to create “speaking tools” (one-page, post card, Facebook page, website, evaluation tool, sample contract). 5. Think about your speaking style. Are you inspirational, motivational, educational, issuespecific or something else?

6. Start speaking for free locally, speak, speak, speak, and

might be worth. Don’t forget to charge for expenses, travel, etc. In summary, I can say that in all my years of speaking, no client has ever asked me to pay for my expenses, but almost every client tries to get you to come down on your fee. Years ago, a speaking group in Rochester, N.Y. called me to speak at their annual convention. I was told that the speaker for the previous convention was terrible and they decided to hire a professional. They looked at my website and my video and thought I would be the perfect fit for their convention. The organizer told me the only problem was that they didn't have a budget for this, but that they would give me the biggest prime rib dinner I ever had. I thought to myself, ‘I can’t pay my mortgage with prime rib.’ Obviously, I gently turned down the meat telling him that I did all my volunteer work in my community and would not be able to speak at his convention. Prime rib or not, if you have a hankering or feel passionate about this business, go get ‘um, jump off the cliff, take a risk and get a big reward of spending your life speaking, training and most of all, helping people.

hone your skills.

7. Sign-up for continuing education, commit to life long learning, learn from successful speakers. 8. Once all this is accomplished, begin to network, look for speaking groups, the chamber, etc. When you introduce yourself, always mention you are a speaker.

9. Take care of people, send a thank you gift after someone hires you or a thank you note, encourage them to bring you back in two years.

10. Begin to charge fees, not too low and not too high, the market will determine what you

geographic area, so that the map displays the reportable crashes for the selected location. In addition, from 2013 to 2017, PennDOT has invested more than $395 million in Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds on 458 unique safety projects. During that same timeframe, another $50 million was invested in low-cost safety improvements at approximately 3,600 locations. Examples of low-cost safety countermeasures include centerline and edge-line rumble strips, and signing and pavement markings. PennDOT also invests about $20 million annually in federal grant funds for safety education and enforcement efforts statewide. More information on highway safety and PennDOT’s safety initiatives is available at www.penndot.gov/ safety.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip After a couple days of summertime heat, it turned cold again and with rain on Monday. It should be more like spring after that. That’s the kind of weather we’ve had for several months, up and down. . . .The Bath Area Fish Committee has their fingers crossed that it will be nice for the Monocacy Creek cleanup in town on the 21st of April, the stocking of trout on the 27th, and then the two-day contest for the kids on the 28th and 29th. They always do a great job and the creek banks are filled with kids and their family members. . . .I don’t want to hex the Phillies, but they’re doing really good right now and are in second place behind the Mets after a couple sweeps of Tampa Bay and Cincinnati, with some good hitting and pitching, following a disastrous first game. I hope they keep winning. . . Speaking of hits, the pie man from the Lutheran church took a hit the other day. He sat on the edge of his bed, fell asleep and landed on the floor. He hit with his head and has a black eye. It could have been worse. Ask Ye Ed, who fell a couple times and is handicapped. . . .I also hope I don’t hex the dart baseball teams from Bath. Both of them were in trophy position as of last week. That season is about over, just like league bowling. . . . The town hall is taking on a new look. Wonder if they’re gonna have an open house once

all the work is done in the remodeling from a former beer distributor . . .Dreams are funny. I had one the other night where I saw “The Home News” painted on a window in a city, and as I walked along I saw a small building where the owner said I could rent it for Elmira’s dress business. It’s not real, of course, but dreams are weird some times. They seem so strange. . . I got an “A” for effort in Elmira’s spring house cleaning. Now I can sit back and watch baseball more on TV. . . .Joe Abraham should be returning home from his Florida hiatus soon for the hearts club at the Legion. “Chow” Silfies is back. And the cussing jar should be used for a new member who could fill it with quarters . . . .Phillies game is on. Whoops! The Braves are tougher this year and won, 2-1. The Phillies didn’t lose ground though, as the Nationals rallied to beat the Mets, 8-6. See you next week.

Allen Township Planning Commission Addresses Recent PA House Bill By KERI LINDENMUTH

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently passed a bill that supersedes municipality regulations on tractor-trailer traffic, an act Planning Commission Chairman Eugene Clater called “unconscionable.” Board of Supervisors Chairman Larry Oberly brought the news to the planning commission’s attention at the commission’s April 16 meeting. The bill, called HB1699, was passed on April 11. There were 189 state representatives in favor of the bill and only one against. None of the elected officials from Northampton County were against the bill. The bill will next move to the state senate. If it passes, Oberly says it will basically eliminate any power local municipalities have to control truck traffic.

www.HomeNewsPA.com

“I encourage anyone in the area to contact your state senator,” Oberly said. Also on April 16, the planning commission approved a sewerplanning module for Willow Brook Farms. The farm will be moving its clubhouse to the Lbarn on the property, which will require a new in-ground sewage disposal to be built. This disposal system will be using a well system that will carry an estimated 1,700 gallons of sewage per day. Although the planning commission approved the planning module, they were unhappy that the Board of Supervisors allowed the plans to move forward without a SALDO review. “I would hope in the future… the supervisors use the planning board for the point it is intended for,” said Clater. Clater said that other commercial sites went through the planning commission. “This one should have also,” he added. Finally, the planning commission discussed amendments to the township’s land use and zoning map. Township engineer Robert Cox presented examples of other townships’ zoning maps. He recommended the township revise its zoning map so it is “simpler and easy to follow.” In order to achieve this, the commission made two recommendations for when it meets with the board of supervisors later this month. The first is that clusters be eliminated. The second is that the zoning map goes back to simply making zones agricultural and rural.

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Northampton Borough Council was presented the latest revision of the borough’s proposed rental inspection ordinance during its workshop meeting on Thursday, April 5. The ordinance is intended to establish regulations for landlords, requiring that they submit registration applications and follow licensing and inspection laws. Council unanimously voted to move forward with revisions of the ordinance and prepare it for public hearing. However, despite this vote, suggestions, councilmembers’ concerns, and ideas differed greatly, with some members strongly in support of the ordinance and others expressing it may cause more harm than good.

By Charles McIlhaney An ordinance enacted in 1922 in Bath states that the burial or internment of deceased persons within the limits of the Boro of Bath is prohibited except of the burial grounds known as Green Mount Cemetery. I wonder what circumstance prompted the enactment of that ordinance? But, as to Green Mount Cemetery, one spring in the early 1960s, “Spike” Repsher, the longtime care taker and grave-digger, was retiring. I was about fifteen years old and looking for a part-time job. My dad owned a small dump truck and I convinced him to take the position, at least until a more permanent candidate was found. He agreed as long as I was willing to do the digging; although he always helped anyway. It was a cold, dank, early spring day when we dug the first grave with assist from Lenwood “Boopy” Laubach. He was well acquainted with a pick, shovel and spadebar. On occasion, in the ensuing months, I had my teenage buddy Richard Berger also help with the digging. We held the job until the beginning of winter, when the cemetery Board of Directors decided to allow backhoe equipment on the grounds. As it turned out, we were the last ones to hand dig graves there. We didn’t mow the grass, but we were responsible for the removal of withered potted plants and weathered decorations from the gravesites. I always appreciated the old ornate stone carvings and headstones etched with names, dates and epitaphs. One very old small stone held the pensive words- “He lived. He cried. He smiled. He died.”

Lost in the Mountains – Part 1

Sangho Kim could not walk any farther. He had to admit a frightening fact: He was hopelessly lost. The Taebaek Mountain range of Korea was not the place the 23-year-old deacon wanted to be when night came. Wild boars and man-eating tigers still roamed freely among the rocks and trees. Sangho had gone to preach the gospel in the villages that dotted the area. Most of the people who lived there worshiped idols and spirits they believed resided in trees. After a month of traveling and preaching, Sangho asked some men in a village about the best way to travel back to his home. What Sangho did not know was that these men resented him for teaching their people contrary to their ancient religion. To retaliate against him, they deliberately sent him in the wrong direction. Sangho set off into the mountains, thinking he was taking a shortcut. For two hours he walked, climbing higher and higher without seeing any houses or people. To make matters worse, it started to rain. As night fell, the surroundings grew dark, but Sangho trudged on. By midnight he was deep in the forest. He could see nothing in the pitch-black darkness. The October winds were cold, and his wet body was shivering. Finally Sangho dropped to his knees. “Lord, I’m lost,” he prayed. “I’m soaked and freezing. I’m weary and sleepy, and I can’t walk another step. Please help me and protect me from the wild beasts. Please don’t let me die here.” With those words, he slumped against a tree and fell asleep. – Adapted from MARVELS & MIRACLES, used with permission.

When it comes to ware houses, Allen Township residents Wonder when enough is enough

By KERI LINDENMUTH In what has become a common scene in communities throughout the Lehigh Valley, between 50 and 100 residents came full force to protest the out in planned development of a new warehouse complex. Allen Township residents filled the Allen Township Fire Company on Tuesday, February 27 to voice their concern over the proposed Jaindl Watson Land Company warehouse development. This development, which will be built at Howertown

50 cents

and Seemsville Roads and 329, will consist of six Route ent warehouses, totaling differroughly 2.5 million square feet. Plans for the development were submitted to Allen Township in December 2016. The land of the proposed house complex is currently warefor warehouse use, leaving zoned visors’ hands legally tied. super“Every municipality has to provide for all different uses,” explained B. Lincoln Treadwell, township solicitor.

Submitted by JANIS KESTER The bedroom is the first place experts recommend starting with when you decide to declutter your home. Your bedroom is your sanctuary. Studies show that what you’re thinking when you start nodding off affects how you sleep, and your mood when you wake up. So if your last mental image is of a cluttered, chaotic room, you’re not setting the right mood for quality sleep. If you’re tripping over piles of clothes, shoes, purses, boxes, etc., it’s time to declutter. Or if magazines, books, DVD’s, paper products, etc. have gotten out of control, it’s time to declutter. And if you have your home office in your bedroom, and your desk is covered with file folders, post-it notes, opened and unopened mail, and other office supplies, it’s time Free Estimate for any door installation

Clothing

Almost everyone has too much clothing. I advise my clients to go through their entire closet, one hanger at a time. If you need to have it, and it fits, keep it. If it doesn’t fit, and really isn’t your style any longer, donate or take to a consignment shop. If an item is worn-out, toss it. Do the same with shoes, purses, scarves, belts, etc. After you sort through your closet, you will be amazed how much room you will have. But before you fill it up again, have an organizational system in place. (Hang all blouses together, skirts, dresses, colors, whatever system works for you.)

Having a home office is a very common feature in homes today. If you have your home office in your bedroom, you really should consider moving it to another space in your house. Your kitchen, guest room or living room is a better choice than having it in your bedroom. Your bedroom is your calm and peaceful haven. If you have no other space for your office, try to choose a place in your bedroom that is as far away from your bed as possible. If it can be put in an armoire, or even a spare closet, then you can close the doors at the end of the workday. If these options

are not available to you (as in my situation, yes, my office is in my bedroom) try to keep your desk/office in a corner, away from your bed. After you finished working for the day, clear your desk as much as possible. If you are able to physically close off your office, it will help promote peace of mind and a better night’s sleep.

Books/Magazines

Many people like to read in bed. And if you do, you probably have a pile of books and/or magazines somewhere in your bedroom. When you declutter, you need to find a specific place for your books and magazines that you want to keep. If you have a bookshelf, or even a shelf in your closet, store them until you are ready to toss, or donate. The ones you are currently reading, keep in a night stand drawer. The ones you no longer want, toss or donate to a charity or organization. Libraries, nursing and retirement homes, military troops, and women and family shelters are a few places that would appreciate the donation. (I always recommend donating. Recycling is a good thing.) If you need help getting motivated to start, please contact me for a free 30-minute consultation. **During the month of April, I am offering 1-hour free consultation/organizing appointment.
