Old Home Week will return to Bath after 110 years
By KERI LINDENMUTH When Bath Councilman Frank Hesch found a 1912 commemorative pin for Bath’s first-ever Old Home Week, the self-proclaimed “history nerd” dove deep into the event and its history. Hesch pored over council meeting minutes from 1911 and 1912 and looked through old photos of Bath’s downtown adorned in patriotic decor. Soon, Hesch and the borough’s Economic and Community Development Community decided to resurrect the community celebration. “The more the Committee
than now for Bath residents to rediscover their community. “After the past couple of years and the trying times we are living in these days, we feel it will be a nice casual way for residents to spend time together, have some fun, and appreciate all the borough has to offer.” “The history of Bath is rich and amazing,” he continues. “I think too often it gets looked at as ‘that small town with all of the traffic,’ but there is a reason we have so many main roads in our small town....and that reason is the rich history, events, and interesting people that made this town what it is.” Hesch discovered plenty of fascinating stories about Bath during his Old Home Week research, including the little-known fact that President Teddy Roosevelt has Bath connections: he was a
found out about Old Home Week, the more we wanted to hold another one,” Hesch says. “You do not hear much about Old Home Weeks in these times.” While some towns do still hold the event, they are no longer as common as they were at the turn of the 20th century. As rural residents migrated to more urban areas of the growing United States, small towns and villages like Bath held Old Home Week celebrations to invite residents back. After two years of lockdowns and social distancing, Hesch thought there was no better time Continued on page 5
‘Little Shop of Horrors’ At NAHS a terrifyingly Funny production
By KERI LINDENMUTH There are few musicals as terrifying and terrifyingly funny as “Little Shop of Horrors,” a 1982 off-Broadway musical and 1986 film starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. The story follows
April Photo of the Month
a Skid Row florist who captures national attention after breeding a plant that thirsts for human blood. Add a dash of romance, an evil dentist, and a memorable score by Disney legend Alan Menken, and you have an instant
cult classic. Nazareth Area High School students embraced the absurdity of Little Shop during their spring production, which ran from April 21 to April 24. Even as the alien-like plant on stage devoured cast member after cast member, the audience couldn’t hide their laughter. It’s why director Sandy Jameson chose Little Shop as the school’s 2022 production. “After two years of a quiet auditorium,” she said in her director’s letter, “we needed pure entertainment: something with the catchiest music, that would make us laugh, that would remind us all exactly how much fun we can have making and watching musical theatre.” Senior Henry Grimm captured the shy, awkward nature of leading man Seymour from the moment he steps on stage, hiding behind his glasses. Seymour, a flower store clerk, discovers a mysterious venus fly trap, which he uses to impress his grumpy boss, Mr. Mushnik, played by sophomore Aaron Louw, and coworker (and love interest) Audrey, played by senior Paige Horvath.

CORRECTION
In last week’s issue there was incorrect information printed in the TPA’s Annual Altruism Banquet article. It was printed that in 2022, three William Allen High School students received the organization’s scholarship. This was incorrect. In 2021, three Parkland High School students received the scholarship.
Flood Announces State Grant for Northampton Community College Construction Project
vocate for this building project on behalf of NCC,” said Flood. “Investing in our students who choose to go into trade programs rather than pursue a four-year degree is so important, and this is one way we can support them.” The grant will go toward construction of the East 40 Experiential Learning Center, which will be a resource for all NCC disciplines, including the new Food Studies and Food Science
programs. The purpose for this building is to enrich place-based, experiential learning opportunities for NCC students and the wider community with hands-on examples and projects. RACP is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational and historical improvement projects.

State Rep. Robert Freeman said The Mill at Easton was awarded a $2 million state grant for Phase II of the redevelopment project. “It’s very good news to see that this additional investment is being provided to The Mill at Easton project, which has been building affordable housing and is turning part of the former silk mill site into a commercial area as well,” said Freeman, DNorthampton. “I would like to thank Governor Wolf for releasing this funding and recognizing the importance that The Mill will have for Easton’s South Side.” The funds will be used for site preparation, construction and related costs to complete the redevelopment of the former silk mill site into a commercial area, including a Dollar General DG Plus Marketplace (featuring perishable and non-perishable groceries and dry goods), a health clinic and other retail uses. Freeman said that in 2019, a $1 million grant was awarded for the first phase of The Mill at Easton project to construct affordable and market rate housing. Those funds came through the Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation fund, managed by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency Today’s grant was part of $32.85 million that was awarded to support 13 community, economic development and revitalization projects throughout Pennsylvania. The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, from which this grant was awarded, is a commonwealth grant program overseen by the Office of the Budget to assist with regional cultural, economic, civic and historical projects that improve a community’s economic growth by creating jobs.

distant relative of town founder Daniel Craig. “Every week, I feel as though there is something new we learn about this borough,” he says. “There are countless stories that make up the history of this small town.” 2022’s Old Home Week is posed to add to that rich history. The celebration will kick off on August 14 with the re-burial of the borough’s time capsule, which was removed from the old borough building in 2018. A community picnic and softball tournament, sponsored by the Bath Allen Youth Club, will follow. The evening will end with live music from a local favorite band, The Verdict. Tuesday, August 16 will feature an outdoor movie night and food truck festival at Fireman’s Field. Thursday, August 18 will be Business Night, where borough businesses will offer extended hours and specials. A catered dinner at
the American Legion and a presentation by the Bath Museum will be held on Friday, August 19. Then, the fun-filled week will culminate with the long-awaited return of Spuds and Suds on August 20. It wouldn’t be a community event without community involvement. Businesses are encouraged to get involved in the fun by planning their own special events throughout the week. Meanwhile, residents can join in by decorating their homes in red, white, and blue, which Bath Borough residents did over 100 years ago at the last event.

Hesch hopes residents and businesses “really get into the whole American spirit with decor.” And Old Home Week isn’t restricted to just Bath residents. Citizens are welcome to invite their friends and family to Bath to see all the borough offers. After all, there is a lot to discover. “What makes Bath even more special, and not to sound too ‘cookie cutter,’” says Hesch, “are our residents. The people that make up this borough are what makes it truly special."

Moore Township Planning Commission reviews sketch plan, Hears NazPlan proposal By SAVANNAH BROWN The Moore Township Planning Commission met Monday, April 25 at Moore Elementary. Among the items discussed were a simple minor subdivision sketch plan and a presentation for the updated Nazareth Area Regional Comprehensive Plan. Surveyor Michael Hahn laid out a sketch plan and addressed the commission on behalf of Christopher and Laura DeVatt regarding a simple minor subdivision for their land. The DeVatt’s sketch plans

showed their proposal to split their land into two parcels. The land currently sits on East Scenic Drive and Deemer Road. Although they are in the beginning phases of the subdivision, they requested the commission’s opinions so they could assess the costs and see what their best options were while they are figuring out what they want to do with the land. The DeVatt’s land also has wetlands near the back of their property, and they asked if a wetland study would be needed for License # PA003267

their subdivision. The wetlands, however, will stay on the original dwelling with approximately 12.5 acres, and the remaining 10.5 acres is farming land they have no plans to build on at this time. Township Engineer Kevin Horvath identified the wetlands will not be an issue and a wetland study will most likely not be needed. Chairman John Becker pointed out his concern about septic failure in the future and making sure they have enough land on the original dwelling for a second solution if a septic problem ever arises. Becker advised DeVatt they will most likely have to pay recreation fees for one lot and application fees for this subdivision since a wetlands study is not needed. The other item on the agenda was the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s presentation for the Nazareth Area Regional Comprehensive Plan by Director of Environmental Planning,

Geoff Reese. Reese expressed the NazPlan is a multi-municipal comprehensive plan encompassing 10 communities in the area. The point of the presentation was to give an overview of the updated plan and allow the commission to address any formal comments within the next two weeks before they move forward with the next steps of their plan. According to Reese, the purpose of the Nazareth Area MultiMunicipal Comprehensive Plan is to enable the boroughs of Bath, Chapman, Nazareth, Stockertown and Tatamy, and the townships of Bushkill, Hanover, Lower Nazareth, Moore and Upper Nazareth to shape their collective vision for the future. The plan will build on the eight-community Nazareth Area Comprehensive Plan adopted in 2007 to define shared objectives and collaborate on implementation regarding important issues that face the Nazareth area. Additionally, NazPlan will set public policy for transportation, utilities, land use, recreation, agriculture, education, housing, and other local priorities. The plan will ultimately guide decisions, research, reports, and funding as the official legal strategy influencing the growth, development, and preservation of the Nazareth area assets. Reese identified that the Nazareth area plan’s core principles are to create higher density in existing developed areas, incorporate mixed land uses in existing and new development areas, enhance walking, rolling, biking, and transit use for daily trips, which includes commuting to work, to preserve natural resources, preserve farmland and cultural, historic, and scenic resources, enhance recreational opportunities for all persons, reduce trans-
portation-related emissions and congestion, appropriately locate future land uses, create highquality jobs and a skilled workforce, create diversity in housing choice for all income levels, create and enhance partnerships, and to enhance funding opportunities for needed improvements in the area. During the presentation, Reese discussed NazPlan’s seven important goals with accompanying policies. Goal 1 outlines reducing development stress on existing utility infrastructure with policies that will match development intensity with sustainable utility infrastructure capacity, strengthen the utility infrastructure in the region, and provide high-quality community facilities and services for all residents. Goal 2 outlines balancing preservation and development with policies on protecting natural resource areas, preserving farmland and farming, promoting compact development and higher densities in designated growth areas, educating and collaborating across public, private, and governmental entities on the effects of land use decision-making on resiliency and quality of life, preservation of historic, cultural, and scenic resources and landscapes, permitting mineral extraction in areas where it is compatible with surrounding land uses, and providing ample park and recreational opportunities for Nazareth area residents. Goal 3 addresses improving air and water quality with policies on protecting, conserving, and enhancing woodland resources, especially near rivers, streams, and wetlands, reducing transportation-related emissions, reducing greenhouse gas emissions

context-sensitive design for industrial and warehousing facilities, and protecting environmental and community assets. Goal 7 addresses directing investments and resources to maximize the Nazareth area’s economic strengths and diversities with policies on enhancing the character and economic viability of natural, mineral, cultural, and historic assets, including traditional downtowns, crossroads villages, and historic farmsteads, supporting economic development strategies to target industry sectors that match the unique competitive advantages of the region, connecting growing job and population centers, building a pipeline of highly skilled workers that is aligned with the current and future needs of regional employers by creating stronger linkages between employers, education, and workforce training, and reducing the impacts of natural and non-natural hazards. At this point in the plan, Reese explained there are no other responsibilities from the bor-
oughs and townships other than formally submitting questions, comments, and concerns. Since Moore Township was the last of the ten communities to be presented with the updated plan, the commission has two weeks to submit comments before the next steps of the plan implementation, which include the plan adoption. Although the overall timeframe for the project is not speculated to come to complete fruition until 2045, Reese explained that some parts of the plan will require more time to work through than others, which is what the timeframe accounts for. More information about NazPlan can be found on their website, NazPlan.org. The next Moore Township Planning Commission meeting will be Monday, May 23 at 7 p.m.

and Main streets. Rodite explained the department is currently looking for grants that would allow the borough to build a pavilion and a garden at Canal Street Park. Rodite suggested the pavilion be used as a rest stop, for people who use the trail, as an information center that would explain the town history, and would include handicap-accessible restrooms. The proposed structure would be halfway up Canal Street at the edge of the park’s current parking lot. This would reduce two or three parking spots, which Rodite assured is not heavily used except for big events and is not well-designed. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. suggested putting the structure on the part of the park where the area is not being used. Rodite explained, “We don’t have a fixed location at this point, but the surveyor will look at the different possibilities.” In other news, councilwoman Julia Kutzler announced the Northampton Farmer’s Market is scheduled to open on May 3 and will be open every Tuesday from May through September from 3 to 6:30 p.m. The market will be located at Municipal Park in the borough. Councilwoman Kutzler also gave the Northampton fire and police monthly report for the month of March, citing 11 fire calls, three motor vehicle accident assists, and 146 incidents filed for the fire department. The police department had 18 accidents and investigations completed, 83 parking tickets, 43 traffic citations, 14 non-traffic citations, 100 traffic tickets, nine arrests for accident investigation damage unattended vehicle, carrying a firearm without a license,

Councilmembers unanimously approved to finalize the agreement and approval, which establishes the sewer rate between the municipalities for the next ten years. Council members decided to table the discussion for Siegfried Elementary School’s request to suspend parking on East 17th Street near the NAA field to accommodate additional parking for parents visiting various events. The event dates are Friday, May 6 for a Parent Picnic with a rain date of Friday, May 20; Thursday and Friday, May 12 and 13 for Books on the Lawn; and Wednesday, June 1 for the Fifth Grade Moving Up Celebration. The council chose to table the discussion for the May 5 meeting to explore further options.

McNeill Lauds $2.76 Million In grant Awards for LVIA Submitted by
SHANNON KEITH State Rep. Jeanne McNeill said she is pleased to see the announcements that the Lehigh Valley International Airport will receive $2.76 million in grant funding from PennDOT and the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program. “The airport is a bustling economic engine for the Lehigh Valley and this funding will help it to do even more to help residents, businesses and those who travel to our area,” said McNeill, D-Lehigh. LVIA will use the $1.76 million grant from the state Transportation Department to continue its terminal connector and security checkpoint expansion and to enhance terminal commercial development connectivity. The grant is one of 12 projects at 10 airports that were awarded a total of $10 million through the Aviation Transportation Assistance Program administered by PennDOT. In addition, the administration last week announced a $1 million RACP grant to continue work on the airport’s checkpoint project. In late 2021, the airport received $2 million from RACP for a new four-lane security screening checkpoint with an elevated terminal connector. The work includes an addition to the terminal complex enabling a federally compliant four-lane passenger security screening area; four new elevators and four new escalators to meet ADA standards; reduced walking distances and decreased ADA vertical transitions; stateof-the-art air purification and anti-microbial finishes, and optimized lighting.

Little Shop of Horrors
Continued from page 1
He even names the plant Audrey II in her honor. While the plant draws crowds to the flower shop, little do its admiring fans know, Audrey II needs human blood to stay alive. The highlight of the first act is the moment the plant speaks for the first time: “Feed me,” it says. Junior Jacob Kremer voiced Audrey II. Unlike many other productions of Little Shop, Kremer was visible to the audience throughout the performance.
Junkluggers of Lehigh Valley
Bathed in bright green light and costumed in a green velvet suit, his animated performance made Audrey II much more than a talking prop on stage but a fullyfledged character. The musical numbers in the production are catchy, doowop-inspired tunes. The musical opens with “Little Shop of Horrors,” performed by the trio Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon (Julia Borawski, Julia Chormanski, and Kailey Force, respectively). The three narrate the production, guiding the story along. Horvath and Grimm had the audience cheering with their rendition of “Suddenly Seymour.” Meanwhile, junior Daniel Miller, who plays bad-boy-dentist Orin, probably scared quite a few young audience members away from the dentist with his performance. Every cast and crew member helped bring the story to life and bring a smile to the audience. “I wouldn’t trade our cast, crew, orchestra for any other,” Jameson added in her letter. “Their spirit is inspiring, and they make me laugh every day.” It was amazing to watch the set transform and to watch Audrey II double, then triple, in size, towering over cast members. By the end, the entire auditorium was wrapped in green vines as the killer plant rapidly took over the world. As for the lesson audiences can take away from the production, Jameson admits there isn’t one, except perhaps, “Don’t feed the plants.”
