Northampton County students Recognized at TPA’s Annual Altruism Banquet
By KERI LINDENMUTH Several Northampton County high school seniors were honored for their academic success and dedication to community service at the TPA Post L Lehigh Valley’s annual Altruism Awards Banquet on Thursday, April 14. The awards banquet gives principals and counselors from local high schools the opportunity
to recognize students who have demonstrated altruism both in and out of the classroom. The students in attendance included stellar athletes who volunteer with special needs children, standout academics who raise money for low-income neighbors, and aspiring leaders breaking down barriers for future students. “Tonight is about you,” Patricia
a less expensive option than rebuilding. Milot will continue to explore options, but all supervisors voiced their support for the less costly renovation. In other news, the township awarded a bid for road work totaling $1 million. This amount is over the initial estimate of $990,000. However, the township has extra funding available thanks to the American Rescue Plan. During the meeting, supervisors also released a bond for traffic signal improvements for $6,226.90. This is for the signal at the intersection of Airport, Snowdrift, and Hanover Roads, which was repaired following damage from tractor-trailers.

East Allen Township Reviews Jacksonville Bridge improvements By KERI LINDENMUTH A month after asking township engineer James Milot to explore replacement options for Jacksonville Bridge, East Allen Township supervisors were presented with several paths forward during their meeting on April 13. Corrosion of the existing structure is the township’s biggest concern. Milot offered two suggestions. The first is to replace each individual arch of the bridge. However, Milot admitted that this work could be costly. The second option involves using a slide to seal the damaged arches together, preventing future corrosion and improving the structure's functionality and longevity. This move, he added, would be

Milot said the signal is operating as designed. He also submitted a request to PennDOT to remove the pedestrian push buttons at the intersection, as they are not needed. That request is pending. Finally, supervisors are preparing for the 2022 PSATS annual conference, running from April 24 to April 27 in Hershey. During this conference, supervisors from municipalities across the state come together to discuss common causes they can rally around and lobby for. Supervisor Don Heiney will represent the township and vote on its behalf. All resolutions Heiney will vote on, said township solicitor Joseph Continued on page 3
In this third column, Larry Oberly and this writer are reading letters written by Capt. Theodore Howell, Company D, 153rd Pennsylvania Regiment. These letters were given to us by Mr. Aaron Schisler, of the Schisler Funeral Home. He writes: “Nov. 10, 1862, Haymarket, Va. Dear Mary, We are still advancing, marched 14 miles. A grand sight, 10,000 men in motion at Haymarket, Va., burned a few days ago. Don’t know how long we will stay. Jeff Bartholomew killed, found bull weighing 300 pounds, so company has enough beef for one day. Boys sharing hogs, chickens and sheep from enemy farms. Looks like a fine county. Rebels, not far off. Have to keep eyes open.
My love to you all. Your husband, Theo H. Howell” (Haymarket, Va., was seized by Union troops in November 1862.) In May, the Union army would fight two large battles at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, Va. They were Union victories, but Gen. Robert E. Lee thought he would surprise Union armies by marching north. Soon, Company D of the 153rd Regiment was marching to meet the Confederates at the Continued on page 2

Sassy Massey Smiles Foundation. Trunzo was also recently honored for her academic achievements by the Daughters of the American Revolution. A repeated member of the school’s honor roll, Trunzo also finds the time to stay active on the tennis court, leading her team to several wins throughout the season. Northampton’s Milnes is an AP student and boys volleyball player who recently acquired his EMT certification. Helping those around him is a lifelong passion, something he looks forward to continuing as he studies nursing at Bloomsburg University following graduation. Notre Dame’s Wehr is an Eagle Scout who completed his scouting project with the Red Cross and Allentown Fire Department, raising money to donate and install smoke detectors in lowincome housing. He also volunteered his time to help families plan out escape routes in the case of fires. This project, said Cheryl Fenton, director of operations at Notre Dame, was something Wehr humbly kept to himself, even though he was actively saving lives. “I am so impressed,” she said. “You don’t always see a Jacob coming your way.” For the TPA members present at the banquet, the evening was reassurance that the organization’s dedication to volunteerism, altruism, and community will live on in the actions of future generations. As member Cathy Stephens said with a smile, the event “gives her hope.” The TPA, or Travelers Protective Association, is a 129-year-old national nonprofit organization. Over the years, the organization has led the charge for societal

changes that protect the health, safety, and wellbeing of children, including white lines on highways, compulsory vehicle inspections, DNA collection kits, and CHAD stickers to help identify children in motor vehicle accidents. “This is a really good organization,” said Palencar. The organization doesn’t only advocate for national change but also local change. One of TPA Post L’s main focuses is supporting deaf and hearing-impaired children through scholarship programs. In 2022, three William Allen High School students received the organization’s generous scholarship. To learn more, visit https:// www.tpahq.org/.

town of Gettysburg, Pa. Capt. Howell and his company fought here July 1-3. The cost was high - 51,000 casualties. The 153rd fought with courage, and Capt. Howell was wounded in the action - twice, in the hip and in the arm. The Pennsylvania monument on the battlefield recognizes Capt. Howell, his company and Pennsylvania soldiers who fought there. Capt. Howell was treated at a military hospital in Washington, D.C. He writes: “Washington, D.C., July 13, 1863 Dearest, I take this opportunity to write you a few lines to let you know I am getting strong and am able to get around fine. Am very glad of it and I am tired of being about in hospitals and hope will never

have occasion to see another inside of a hospital as long as I am in service. The doctors are lazy to do anything for a person. I was in the seminary hospital for 10 days and they charged me $9 board and let me take care of myself. I left today to spend a day in Washington and tomorrow will go back to my company where I think I will be better taken care of than anywhere else, excepting home, which I don’t expect to see until my nine months are up. Washington is quite lively and a good-looking city, with some very handsome buildings, but they know how to charge at hotels for board. I guess it is the dearest place to be for anyone in the north. I send you and children my love. Also, my respects to all my friends. Your affectionately, Theo H. Howell” The soldier returned to his Lincoln Avenue home. In later years, officials of a new company, Atlas Portland Cement Company, came to his home and offered to purchase hundreds of acres the family owned around their grist mill. Howell sold the land, and the largest Portland Cement complex was constructed on the site. Howell, in the contract, required the company preserve the old Wilson Block House, which was constructed in 1756. They agreed, and the borough symbol was preserved for future generations. The old soldier passed into history March 6, 1918, at age 93, and was buried with honors at Greenwood Cemetery, Allen Township. In two weeks, we will complete the Howell story with photographs.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Neuropathy Home Care by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
I have been discussing peripheral neuropathy a lot over the past few years. I have been doing so because this extremely devastating chronic disease affects so many. Perhaps my desire to help those with PN is because I saw firsthand the loss of independence and inability for self-care that can occur. Last month, I discussed this condition with a seasoned nurse. Someone she knows suffers mercilessly with end stage neuropathy and body wide-multi system involvement. Take that to mean a person who has degradation of health over many years, if not decades. All avenues have been pretty much exhausted. Heartbreaking. This caregiver is aware of our treatment modalities and approach. She stated that the person in question has significant wounds, lesions, and sensory deficits of her feet and that providing care would be extremely challenging on many fronts. In fact,

this individual would not even be able to come into my office for care as she is now homebound. I have heard this many times before. Many years ago, my mother started with neuropathy. Seemingly overnight she lost feelings in her lower legs. Her balance was disrupted, and walking became a challenge. Her feet were burning, and she would wake screaming during the night. There is a lot more I could say on the matter, yet for the sake of brevity we both agreed that if she was to stay on this path the situation would become dire. I will share that based upon this specific experience I was able to develop an at-home, effective protocol so that my mother could simply perform the treatments from the comfort of her own home. I guess you could say that I did kind of experiment on my mother, yet because all other treatment options were exhausted, she had nothing to lose. As I write this week’s column, my mother’s condition has dramatically improved. So much so that just this morning I brought her to her weekly senior exercise class. Simply amazing. As of now my mother is on an effective home maintenance neuropathy program. She is, of course, consistent and enjoying the benefits with what I have asked her to do. Three times per week she utilizes her home equipment which includes a circulation enhancing device, a nerve rebuilder and vibration therapy unit. In addition, I do have her applying a topical “neuro-cream” to her feet. I would like to brag that I am now her favorite son…
When we speak on the matter, my mother keeps asking me if everyone knows about all this. I tell her no, but they are finding out sure enough. She is in disbelief no one else has a home program like this. Candidly, I am surprised myself. While each person presents differently and no outcome is guaranteed, rest assured, taking better care of your body will always yield benefits, large or small. This week’s article is not meant to sound self-serving. The real issue isn’t about any program whether in the office, at home or otherwise. The real issue is you doing your best to pursue a life of vitality, longevity and independence as long as each of us are able. Conversation to be continued. “Natural Perspectives” is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations.

Moore Township resident will help Bath Borough Clean-up day will be Ukrainian refugees on international tour April 30 By CATHERINE STROH
The Borough of Bath’s first clean-up day of the year will be on Saturday, April 30 beginning at 5 a.m. The borough’s sanitation company, Waste Management, will be collecting yard waste and white goods. Borough residents are advised to put items on the sidewalks the night before. Yard waste items include shrubs, small branches, leaves, grass, weeds and trimmings. All yard waste must be placed in biodegradable bags, a sturdy container, or bundled. Bundles cannot exceed 3 feet in length or 14 inches in diameter. A maximum of four containers, bags or bundles will be accepted. Yard waste in plastic bags will not be collected. The following items will not be picked up: Stumps, logs, plastic bags, plant pots, rocks, food waste, gardening gloves or root balls. The borough stresses that residents place their yard waste items at the curb the night before the clean-up collection. All white goods/appliances/metal items must be free of all fluids. If items contain a refrigerant, the Freon must be removed by a certified technician and a sticker must be included on the unit. No items will be collected unless they have a sticker. Tires, liquids, fuels, or household hazardous waste items are not acceptable for collection. A second clean-up day will be held in the Borough of Bath on Saturday, October 22.

submitted by DIANE CORTAZZO Diane Cortazzo of Moore Township has nine international tours planned for the next two years, but the Passion Play tour next month just became more special. This tour, consisting of 32 travelers, will begin in Budapest, continue through Austria and Germany, and will end with the beautiful Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany. While planning the trip, Russia invaded Ukraine, changing the lives of so many Ukrainians and other Europeans. Hungary, the first stop on the tour, is one of the bordering countries helping with Ukrainian refugees, so Diane began contacting people in Hungary to see what kind of assistance the group might be able to contribute. The main refugee aid organizations in Budapest are now combining their efforts in an event hall in Budapest which has become the main welcome hub for Ukrainian refugees. Diane’s travel group will be helping in two ways as they begin their tour in Budapest. There is an organization called Hotelhero that is making and delivering sandwiches for the refugees and the workers at the refugee hall. Volunteers from the group will be making between 200-300 sandwiches on the day they arrive to help this effort. The group is also looking for donations to help pay for the ingredients for the sandwiches and to make donations directly to the Hungarian Red Cross efforts at the refugee center in Budapest. If any readers would like to donate to this effort or have questions, please contact Diane Cortazzo at fraucortazzo@gmail.
com, or call The Home News at 610-923-0382 and they will get you in touch with Diane. Ev-
ery penny will go directly to the refugees in Budapest. Donations should be received by May 9.

www.familyhandyman.com Laundry still damp after a run in the dryer? Try these seven DIY fixes before you schedule a service call. Why Is My Dryer Not Drying Clothes? I’ve worked as an appliance technician for more than 30 years and have been asked this question hundreds of times. The short answer is, there’s something wrong with the dryer’s airflow. Here’s the way it’s supposed to work: The heated air mixes with the wet laundry, then that moist air is carried outside via the dryer vent tube. There are a number of things along the way that can derail this process and leave your clothes damp. Fortunately, there are seven DIY fixes you can try when your dryer’s airflow isn’t optimal. If none solves the problem, you’ve probably got a blown hi-limit, failed element, broken igniter or bad coils. You’ll need to hire a pro to fix those. 1. Check Dryer Settings Look at your dryer settings. If you have a timer dial, set it for a 30-minute dry cycle. If you have a fluff setting dial, turn it from fluff to dry or very dry. Start your dryer, run it for five minutes, then open the door to see if your clothes are warm. If they aren’t, go to the next step. 2. Clean the Lint Filter Pull out the lint filter and brush off all of the lint. Clean the filter thoroughly with an old toothbrush, hot water and dish detergent. 3. Clean the Lint Filter Housing Pull out the lint filter. Using a flashlight, inspect the filter’s plastic housing. You’ll likely see lots of lint at the bottom. This is common; it can disrupt airflow and reduce your dryer’s efficiency. Straighten out a wire coat hanger. With pliers, create a 1/2-in., 90-degree bend in the hanger. Push the bent end of the wire coat hanger into the filter housing. Hold a flashlight with the other hand so you can see what you’re doing. Hook the lint and
April 21-27, 2022 9
e Improvement carefully pull it out. Repeat until all the lint has been removed. 4. Clean the Moisture Sensor Look inside your dryer drum for the moisture sensor. It’s two parallel, shiny metal strips about four inches long, usually on the drum side of the plastic filter housing. Clean the metal strips with a paper towel and rubbing alcohol. Pro tip: Anti-static dryer sheets coat the metal strips with a waxy substance, preventing the controller from sensing if the clothes are dry. This results in extended dry-
ing times. 5. Gas Dryers: Check Gas Line Look behind your dryer for the gas valve. Turn your gas valve so the knob is parallel with the gas line. Parallel lets gas flow. Perpendicular shuts off the gas. Make sure the gas line isn’t kinked, which would stop gas flow and prevent the dryer from heating. If it’s kinked, call a pro to replace it. Do not try to straighten it yourself. 6. Electric Dryers: Check Circuit Breaker Box If your electric dryer runs on
Junkluggers of Lehigh Valley
Wave goodbye to Clutter. JUNKLUGGERS.COM | 1-800-584-5865
220 volts, it might not be heating because one of the two circuit breakers dedicated to the dryer is in the off position. Turn both breakers for your dryer all the way off, then all the way on. If your dryer still won’t heat, call an appliance technician to fix it. 7. Check Airflow From Dryer Vent Tube While the dryer is running, go outside and check the volume of air coming out of your dryer vent tube. In volume and temperature, it should feel like a hair dryer. If the air is cold, the heating device in your dryer is no longer working. Call a pro to repair it. Clean the dryer vent tube. If air flow from the tube is weak, a buildup of lint could be obstructing it. You can clean the dryer vent tube yourself in about an hour with a dryer vent cleaning kit. When you pull out the cleaning tool, you’ll likely see a lot more lint than you imagined!

NORTHAMPTON AREA Allen Township Supervisors approve sewer agreement with Northampton, review Bath Allen Youth Club requests
By KERI LINDENMUTH On Tuesday, April 12, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an inter-municipal sewer service agreement with Northampton Borough. This agreement comes after a previous one expired in 2016, resulting in years of litigation between the two municipalities. “This is potentially the end of a long road,” said township solicitor Lincoln Treadwell. The agreement amends the previous 2012 agreement between the two municipalities and resolves six-plus years of outstanding litigation.
Under the new 10-year agreement, Allen Township will acquire at least 323 extra EDUs for development in the township. One point of contention in the previously proposed agreement, which Allen Township rejected, was Northampton changing the sewer fee from $3.81 for 1,000 gallons to 95% of the water bill. This new agreement adjusts that percentage to 85%. Allen Township must also submit all back payments. “I still disagree with the time limit,” said Supervisor Gary Behler. “But the benefits of this far outweigh the risks, at this point.”

4739 S. Cypress Dr., Walnutport SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR GIFTED STUDENTS IDENTIFICATION ACTIVITIES In compliance with state law, notice is hereby given by the Northampton Area School District that the District conducts ongoing identification activities as part of its school program for the purpose of identifying students who are thought to be gifted and in need of specially designed instruction. If your child is identified by the District as possibly in need of such services, you will be notified of applicable procedures. If you believe that your school age child may be in need of gifted services, the District offers screening and evaluation to assess the needs of your child. The assessment is offered at no cost to you. District residents may request screening and evaluation at any time, whether or not your child is enrolled in the District’s public school program. Requests for evaluation and screening should be made in writing to your child’s Northampton Area School District principal or the Director of Curriculum and Instruction. In compliance with state law, the Northampton Area School District will provide gifted education for each gifted student that is based on the unique needs of the student, not solely on the student’s classification. The District will provide gifted education for gifted students which enables them to participate in acceleration or enrichment programs, or both, as appropriate, and to receive services according to their intellectual and academic abilities and needs. All information gathered about your child is subject to the confidentiality provisions contained in federal and state law. The District has policies and procedures in effect governing the collection, maintenance, destruction, and disclosure to third parties of this information. For information about these policies and procedures, as well as rights of confidentiality and access to education records, you may contact, in writing, the Assistant Superintendent or any building principal. For further information on the rights of parents for their gifted student, provision of services, evaluation, screening, and procedures contact: Curriculum and Instruction Office Northampton Area School District 2014 Laubach Ave. Northampton, PA 18067 610-262-7811 x20205
The approval of this agreement puts the two municipalities on track to complete their Act 537 Plan. The inter-municipal plan is now with the planning commissions of Allen Township, Northampton Borough, and Catasauqua Borough for review. In other news, the Bath Allen Youth Club’s baseball team submitted several requests to supervisors. The club, which utilizes Howertown Park as its home field, is seeking several park improvements, including metal batting cages, a possible outfield wall, and sponsorship signs. The park's existing batting nets are “fairly old,” according to township manager Ilene Eckhart. A metal cage is estimated to cost $7,000 to $10,000. Behler reminded supervisors that the cages, should they be installed, need to remain open to all community members. “This is a community park,” he told the board. “It is not a sports complex. If we put cages down there, they can never be locked…they are open to everybody.” While not opposed to batting cages, Behler said he does oppose signage that advertises private entities on public property. “[I am] personally not a fan of billboards….on public property,” he said. “It is the greatest conflict of interest.” The youth club also requested an outfield fence following the injury of one of their players. A stormwater swale beyond the outfield poses potential safety risks, according to the club. The swale is mandatory for stormwater reasons, but the board suggested looking at maintenance to potentially even out the ground. Most members of the board were against an outfield fence. “It [would be] right in the middle of our biggest open space,” said Behler. “[And] we are adding additional hassle to our crew for mowing.” The township plans to continue discussions with the club. Also discussed during the meeting were upcoming improvements to area bridges. Three Allen Township bridges are slated for closure in the upcoming months, two on Indian Trail Road and one on Willowbrook Road. Two bridges on Indian Trail Road, one over the Hokendauqua Creek and another over Indian Trail Creek, will be closed this July for replacement. Meanwhile, Northampton County Bridge #124 on Willow-
brook Road will also be closed within the upcoming year. Despite requests from the township to widen the bridge to three lanes, the county has already completed designs for a new two-lane bridge. To reconstruct the bridge, a major Bethlehem water main must be relocated. As a result, Willowbrook Road will be closed at West Bullshead Road. However, the intersection will remain open for lefthand turns onto Willowbrook and right-hand turns onto West
Bullshead. Finally, yard waste season has begun. Eckhart announced that FRCA will be open every other Saturday. This year, residents will be charged $1 per 33-gallon container of grass. Yard waste will also be collected at the township building every Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. No grass will be collected at this site. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, April 26 at 7 p.m.

Lamont McClure delivers the 2022 State of the County Address Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT Lamont McClure delivered the 2022 State of the Northampton County Address on April 6 at the PBS 39 TV Studio in Bethlehem. Attendees included business leaders and government officials. The event was hosted by the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC) and sponsored by Workforce Board Lehigh Valley and Lehigh Valley International Airport. The address was broadcasted to the public on Tuesday, April 19 at 11 a.m. on the LVEDC Facebook page and will be available on Northampton County’s YouTube Channel. “The State of the County address presents an opportunity to let the people of Northampton County know what their government has done, what it is currently doing and what it plans to do in the future,” says Lamont McClure. “We are living through a difficult period in history, but the pandemic has not stopped us from making progress in improving the quality of life for our residents.” The following is a synopsis of Executive McClure’s 2022 State of the County address. Northampton County and the nation continue to recover from the COVID-19 crisis and programs, such as the drive-through testing and vaccination site in Bethlehem Township, will continue to operate as long as they are needed. The stress we’ve experienced over the last two years has led to
a surge in drug-related overdoses and deaths from opioids and fentanyl. Northampton County’s share of the recent settlement from pharmaceutical distributors is approximately $11 million and it will be used to raise awareness about the dangers of addiction and to increase services for those in recovery. The County is looking into establishing its own Health Bureau to better address infectious diseases including Tuberculosis and HIV as well as providing support for chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. A study is underway to make sure the costs justify the potential benefits. Knowing the critical role first responders play in protecting the public’s health, the County introduced the EMS and Grow NORCO grant programs. In 2021, we distributed $2.8 million to 63 different organizations. This money has kept people employed as well as making sure our Police, Fire and EMS organizations have the equipment they need when they need it. Our economy continues to be strong. We are a prime destination for new residents because of our high quality of life which includes a thriving business community, an extensive parks and trail system, good schools and easy access to major metropolitan areas. In 2021, the Lehigh Valley ranked eighth in economic growth nationwide among metro areas with a population between 200,000 and 1 million. Northampton County is priori-

tizing farmland preservation and the purchase of open space and environmentally sensitive land. Since 2018, we’ve added three new parks and purchased land to link our trail systems. The County has preserved 20,000 acres of farmland so far and we are close to celebrating the preservation of our 250th farm. The pandemic wasn’t just a threat to our health, it also presented a threat to our economy. That’s why, as of March 2022, the County has distributed almost $25 million in grants to 1,883 small businesses. The grants can be used for rent, payroll and other operation expenses. Northampton County will receive $30 million from the American Rescue Plan this year and will use it to improve communications at the 911 center, study how to supply affordable housing, and remove lead paint from residential housing and lead pipes from the water supply. It is proposed that half of the money, $15 million, go to Gracedale Nursing Home to address nursing staff costs, capital projects and to build a daycare center on site.

St. Luke’s partners With Saquon Barkley on star Running back’s 1st hometown Charitable Endeavor
Submitted by SAMUEL KENNEDY St. Luke’s University Health Network and the Michael Ann & Saquon Barkley Hope Foundation are proud to announce an historic partnership between the two organizations – Saquon Barkley’s first hometown charitable endeavor. The St. Luke’s Sports Rink/ Saquon Barkley Center of Excellence on Seventh Street in Whitehall will bring about opportunities for underserved youth in the local community, focusing on physical activity, academics and life choices. “It is an honor to partner my foundation with such a great staff dedicated to providing the best service possible to a community that will always feel like home to me,” Saquon Barkley said. “It was very important when making this decision to choose a team truly dedicated to their community, and with St. Luke’s, that dedication is

clear.” Added Tonya Johnson-Barkley, Saquon Barkley’s mother, “This is really exciting. It is something positive and will provide good momentum moving forward. Everyone who is part of the Michael Ann & Saquon Barkley Foundation, and especially Saquon, is excited about this. I think partnering with an industry leader like St. Luke’s is a win-win situation for both parties.” Barkley, the former Whitehall High School and Penn State University running back, was drafted No. 2 overall in the NFL Draft by the New York Giants and is entering his fifth NFL season. Whitehall retired his jersey number last fall. This new partnership is designed to address the whole student, from athletics to academics, personal care and life choices utilizing the combined resources and name recognition of the Michael Ann & Saquon Barkley Hope Foundation and St. Luke’s. “This is the first opportunity for Saquon to have a building named after him. Now he has the opportunity to fulfill the philanthropy he has been so looking forward to doing in the community by starting in his hometown of Whitehall, and that makes it extra special,” said George Makhoul, foundation board member and one of his former coaches at Whitehall. “The importance of the naming is not just about athletic excellence,” said John Hauth, St. Luke’s Senior Network Administrator for Sports Medicine Relationships. “Saquon is a superior athlete, but one of the goals that clearly came through while talking with Saquon, his mother Tonya and other members of the foundation is that they want this to be about the whole person.” In addition to providing St. Luke’s exceptional sports performance and fitness services, the goal is to provide services that include nutritional education as well as homework and after-school tutoring opportunities to address the whole child, so children become better athletes, better students and better human beings engaged with their community in a positive way. While the initial relationship will include the naming of the Whitehall facility, the goal is to spread some of the key initiatives to other St. Luke’s facilities that can reach into underserved communities including, but not limited to, the underserved areas of Allentown.
