Looking by Back Ed Pany Civil War veteran Theodore Howell, Part 2 of 4
Theodore Howell enlisted in the Union Army, leaving a large family. Many men evaded the draft by a number of options that were allowed by the draft law, which we explain in this column. Capt. Howell writes on Dec. 9, 1862:
Howell met General Franz Sigal in Chantilly. Contributed photo. In today’s column, we are reading the handwritten letters of Capt. Theodore Howell, Allen Township and Northampton’s celebrated Civil War veteran. Mr. Aaron Schisler, of the Schisler Funeral Home, has graciously shared these letters with our readers. These letters were given to Mr. Schisler by a grandson of Capt. Howell.
“Dear wife, I don’t think the people of Allen Township appreciate all we have done for them, as if to a draft instead of getting out with raising $2,400 nearly every man that would have been drafted would have an average of $300, $400 a piece, but as it is, they escaped the draft, and there are not many in the township thanking us for the trouble we went to getting the company organized. We serve our country without compulsion as a duty to our country.” Here is the reason Capt. Howell questioned the fairness of the draft. The law allowed a drafted man to obtain exemption by paying a commutation fee of $300, which would last until a new draft was called. He then could hire a substitute to go to war in his place, thus obtaining permanent Continued on page 5

Bath Borough Council denies Extension for Bathwick Hill Apartments development
By SAVANNAH BROWN The Borough of Bath Council met on Monday, April 4, with a busy agenda and multiple executive sessions. First to speak was Terry DeGroot with Spuds & Suds regarding their upcoming Fifth Annual Spuds & Suds Festival on August 20 from noon to 7 p.m., which he is currently soliciting sponsorships for. He requested “whatever support the borough can give,” and stated, “the borough has been generous in their support in the past.” DeGroot says he understands that things are more difficult
right now from a budget perspective but hopes that more support from the borough could help create a bigger event. Next up, Jimmy Pasquariello, President of the Bath Social Hall, petitioned the council about using Keystone Park for the Bath Social Hall’s annual children’s Easter egg hunt at Keystone Park Pavilion on Saturday, April 10. Council Pro Tem Barry Fenstermaker asked if the egg hunt is open to the public. Pasquariello explained the egg hunt is only for active member families of the club; children of active membership.
The council then voted on the motion to waive the parks and rec fees for Bath Social Hall’s Easter egg hunt. The motion was granted by council members Phyllis Andrews and Barry Fenstermaker. Under public comments, resiContinued on page 7

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Stuck with Me
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
The one constant across our entire life is that you cannot get rid of having a relationship with yourself. You are stuck with yourself through thick and thin. This may seem comical in one vein and philosophical in a n o t h e r. What appears to be the case in the majority is that many simply do not have a good view of “self ” and that’s a real problem. As I’ve been publishing Natural Perspectives™ for nearly 20 years, I am comfortable with readers
perhaps thinking I should stay in my lane. Perhaps one would think I should veer back into the musculoskeletal arena, my specialty, and you would not be wrong to say so. By and large, however, the “inner dialogue” has everything to do with physical and clearly vice versa. To dismiss the innate relationship will lead to peril. Have you complimented someone recently? I do not mean platitudes given to win favor or influence. I mean a compliment given heart to heart. Increasingly I am finding rather than accept the something nice said, the recipient throws back a rebuff…. of themselves. I could dig into the psychological analysis of it, yet allow me to leave such matters to greater minds. For our discussion, is it reasonable to consider that the effort it takes to be at peace and content with ourselves is a worthy

endeavor? I feel that it is. As such, a broader dialogue of how that should, could, may be achieved is paramount. Again, for those more discerning, what I can reveal is only what I have observed within my circle of interaction, both professionally and personally, these many years. If I may be so bold, there are seemingly three characteristics that appear to be an integral part of moving from a low-grade self-deprecation to a healthier respect of oneself. These are commitment, congruency, and consistency. In his book “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People,” Mr. Stephen Covey coins the term “inside-out” which he defines as “starting first with self ” - your character, your principles, your motives, then and only then, is it worthwhile to take the next step, whatever that may mean for you in your particular circumstance and/or situation. He elaborates, the inside-out approach says that private victories precede public victories, that making and keeping promises to ourselves precedes making and keeping promises to others.
Also, it is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves. I couldn’t agree more. Commitment is something we clearly understand, however, the truth is most of us are not “all in” with many or in any areas. We are generally tip-toers in the vast areas of our lives: Eat okay but not good enough to get off the acid reflux meds, exercise here and there but still out of shape, in relationship yet upon reflection, not growing or perhaps not as deep nor meaningful as could be. Is it time to finally commit fully to something or someone? When you do, I can guarantee forward momentum presents. Congruence should be discussed more than it is quite frankly. Why are we humans so double-minded? This is rhetorical of course, yet even so, the apostle Paul laments in Romans 7 that we simply do not do, say, think the things we should and conversely, more often than not, find ourselves doing, saying, thinking things we shouldn’t. Now maybe this doesn’t describe you but for

the rest of us, who are legion, it hits home. Consistency. Now that’s the batter that gets this all to stick. What I can share is that those who are diligent with their worthy commitments, appropriately reflective of and striving for congruency and are best able to remain consistent through all life’s variables, seemingly have a better “working relationship” with themselves. Clearly more needs to be discussed on this matter, yet we leave this conversation here. Take time to reflect on what we discussed. My best to you.

Man) He Saw It All,” was named one of the top Southern Gospel songs of all time. Gospel music legend Bill Gaither calls Daryl “a poet-and we don't have many poets left!” Daryl says he just writes and sings songs about real life and real people; songs about faith and home and community are the foundation of his music because those are the things that are most precious to him. He says, “I love songs about how it used to be, or could be still, or might have been.” Daryl is also a gifted storyteller, and he shares entertaining tales of the inspiration behind his songs, his years at the Grand Ole Opry, and his faith. A free light meal will be offered at 5 p.m. prior to the concert. We hope you can join us for this special event.

1863,
Capt.
Howell
“Dear wife, A few lines to say I am first rate and rested after a long, hard March. Saw action. Happy to report Walter Rutman is not killed but severely wounded. He was brought across the river, taken to first division hospital. Curtis Stickland also wounded in left hip. Some of our company were taken as prisoners. They are in Richmond Prison. Yours affectionately, Theo Howell” Capt. Howell and the 153rd Pennsylvania Regiment received a message from Gen. George G. Meade to prepare to march north. Now both the Union and Confederate armies were marching to destiny. They ended in the small town of Gettysburg. Capt. Howell and his company D would then fight in the battle that would be the turning point in the Civil War and the United States. In two weeks, Capt. Howell sees action at the Battle of Gettysburg.

The Governor Wolf Historical Society 65th Anniversary party and public tour evening
1785 Wolf Academy, photo ca. 1954. Submitted by LINDA KORTZ and CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN The newly redesigned museum on the Governor Wolf Historical Site will be open during our 65th anniversary party for the society. If you want to learn more about this area, early life, and our local boy who became the seventh Governor in 1829, working for the common man, come out Tuesday evening, April 12, at 7 p.m. The new museum holds the story of Pennsylvania’s seventh governor, Gov. George Wolf. He grew up “down the road’ and was in the first class in 1785 at the Al-
len Academy. This prepared him for a lifetime of service to our full state, not just our local area. Many ethnic groups settled in Pa., speaking many languages. Most could not read or write, and not in English. Wolf realized that an uneducated population hurt everyone. People suffered by signing documents they could not read with only their “X.” After serving in the U.S. Congress, Wolf became the seventh governor of Pennsylvania. Known as “The Father of Public Education,” his drive to pass the Common School Act was paramount. Every child was promised a free education, regardless
of race, gender, nationality, or wealth. “An educated person will be successful.” It was signed 188 years ago, on April 1, 1834. One room schools were built. By the beginning of the Civil War, we were a literate populace. Wolf expanded the canals and improved roads to help move goods for our farmers and industry. He pushed the printing industry. Citizens could learn about their communities, the issues of Pa. and the nation. He was the first governor to have an office in Harrisburg, always open to citizens. His reorganization of confusing Pa. laws is still used

Attorney Elias Spengler, who saved the Academy in the 1950’s from demolition, would be pleased with her gift to tell the story he championed
to save. The amazing abilities of our many members, donating skills and hours, saved thousands of dollars. Amazing early items have been donated for the new exhibit and collections. A lifesize replica of Wolf, standing at his desk, is next to a video preContinued on page 7

sentation of his life and accomplishments. Come out at 7 p.m. on April 12 and join us for our 65th anniversary of the Governor Wolf Historical Society and tour the museum. If you teach or were educated in Pennsylvania, Gov. George Wolf made it possible. We are now scheduling tours and presentations for schools, local groups, educators, scouts, etc. For information, call 610- 837-9015, and leave a message for Linda Kortz. A brief history of the GWHS In 1957, the heirs of Insley Berlin announced plans to sell the badly neglected Wolf Academy, which had been owned by the family since 1873. Attorney Elias W. Spengler, an East Allen resident, became
the driving force in the crusade to preserve and restore the Academy. To forestall a sale to someone who would not preserve the building, Spengler signed a $2500 sales agreement with the Berlins and made a personal down payment of $300. Spengler called a meeting of interested citizens at his Bath office on April 12, 1957. Attendees unanimously approved of his action, voted to form a permanent group to acquire and promote renovation of the Academy, selected the name Wolf Academy Restoration Society (WARS), and decided to solicit charter members to raise the purchase price, aiming for 250 members who would each pay $10. The Society was now the proud owner of a very dilapidated building - and it had a loan to repay. Any income went to paying the loan. At times, funds were so low that only the interest on the

loan could be paid. For example, in January 1964, with a balance of only $1.87, those present at a board meeting donated enough to pay the month's interest. Arthur A. Lapp donated the $15 to cover the Society's fire insurance premium. David G. Olson, in 1964, a Northampton Area School District administrator, implemented a fund drive among the 4th grade pupils which netted $1817. In 1969, Northampton County appropriated $2000 for work on the Academy, and East Allen Township promised to contribute $500 a year for five years. Academy restoration work began on Monday, December 7, more than 11 years after the Society bought the building. The society has grown to a large membership and now owns three buildings on the site: the Ralston-Mckeen House, the Monocacy School and the Wolf Academy.

law does not have exemptions for these types of arrangements, otherwise other borough residents could claim exemptions that do not apply. Only owner-occupied housing; where if Steve’s father lived in the house with the Constenbader’s would an exemption apply. Solicitor Kratz stated he would look at the law considering the Constenbader’s were in a lease-option to purchase with a family member. Manager Flynn asked Solicitor Kratz if the Constenbader’s were placed on the deed to the property by Steve’s father, wouldn’t that effectively make the Constenbader’s home-owner occupied residents, exempting them from the law? Solicitor Kratz indicated it would. Solicitor Kratz cautioned that he was not offering legal advice to the Constenbader’s and that they should seek

Keystone Scholars: The first step To Education savings for every Baby in Pennsylvania $100 free investment for your child’s Future postsecondary education Submitted by SAMANTHA HECKEL Did you know that every child born in Pennsylvania under the age of 3 already has a savings account for their future postsecondary education? It’s true. Pennsylvania Treasury’s Keystone Scholars Program automatically makes a $100 investment when a child is born. Since the program started in 2019, we have created and funded more than 370,000 accounts – and no taxpayer dollars have been used. This first step to education savings will grow alongside the child, and be there for them after their 18th birthday— no matter what educational path they take. We also encourage families to start saving on their own as early as possible and on a regular basis using the PA 529 College and Career Savings Program. The PA 529 program offers significant tax advantages, and saving early gives money more time to grow. If you put $25 into a PA 529 account every month for 18 years, that can grow to about $10,000 by the time a child graduates, for example. A lot of people think that PA 529 and Keystone Scholars funds can only be used to help pay for the costs of four-year colleges and universities – but they can be used for so much more. PA 529 accounts can help you save for education at community colleges, technical schools and ap-
prenticeship programs. The funds you save can be used for tuition, books, supplies, and more. Keystone Scholars is more than just a savings account, it’s a strong message to our youngest residents that we believe in their bright future. Research shows that children with even modest savings, are three times more likely to enroll in postsecondary education and four times more likely to graduate. Who’s eligible for Keystone Scholars? Any baby born to a Pennsylvania family in 2019 or later, including those who are adopted, are automatically eligible for the $100 investment. Additionally, if a mother was a WIC participant, and her baby was born between Jan. 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the child also automatically receives a $50 Bright Future Booster deposit, meaning a $150 total jumpstart for their education savings.
Accessing a Keystone Scholars account To register your child’s Keystone Scholars account, or to preregister for a baby you’re expecting, visit pa529.com/keystone. Parents of eligible children can access accounts online approximately 4-5 months after the
child’s birth using information found on their PA birth certificate. Help Keystone Scholars children in your community The Keystone Scholars program is always looking for partners to help us make a bigger impact on Pennsylvania’s children. You can become a Keystone Scholars Champion and work with Treasury to help children in your community. Reach out to Keystone Scholars Director Anne DeCecco to learn more: adececco@patreasury.gov. If you have any questions, please visit pa529.com/keystone or call 800-440-4000. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for the young child in your life.

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO ADOPT A JOINT OFFICIAL SEWAGE FACILITIES PLAN (ACT 537 PLAN) BETWEEN NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH AND ALLEN TOWNSHIP, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that Northampton Borough and Allen Township, Northampton County, are proposing to adopt a Joint Official Sewage Facilities Plan (Act 537 Plan) for the purpose of comprehensive sewage disposal planning within both municipalities. The Plan was prepared to address the sewage collection, treatment, and disposal needs of both municipalities. Topics included within the Plan consist of previous wastewater planning, system description, mapping of existing infrastructure (in relation to municipal boundaries and physical characteristics), future growth and expansion, evaluation of alternatives, and institutional evaluation. The Plan also includes a description of the legal and administrative activities necessary to implement the Plan. As a result of the Plan, the Borough will renovate two of their pump stations, reduce Inflow and Infiltration throughout the sewer system, and renovate and upgrade their wastewater treatment plant. The Township is allocated a minimum of 320 EDUs from the Borough of which 251 will be available in the first 5 years for the High Meadows, North Hills, Quarry Hill Estates and a portion of Stone Ridge developments, implement an on-lot sewage management program, and negotiate with Catasauqua Borough to develop an intermunicipal agreement for the conveyance and treatment of future developments tributary to Catasauqua Borough. The EDU allocation for the Township is purchased at the time of the tapping fee payment by developers and remitted to the Borough. The current user rate of 115% of the water bill per quarter is not projected to change as a result of the implementation of the plan. The average Township residential customer bill is $98.14 per quarter. The direct cost to the Borough will be financed by issuing a bond. The bond will be serviced using the Borough’s existing capital reserve fund, cash flow from user rates at the existing level, and anticipated tapping fees. The Borough’s current customer user rate of 95% of the water bill per quarter is not projected to change as a result of the implementation of the plan. The average Borough residential customer bill is $74.54 per quarter. Upon publication of this notice, a 30-day public review and comment period is in effect. A draft version of the Joint Act 537 Plan is available for public review at either of the below listed Municipal Buildings during normal business hours. A draft version of the plan is also available online at either www.allentownship.org or www.northamptonboro.com. Interested parties
can submit written comments to your respective municipalities as follows: Allen Township 4714 Indian Trail Road Northampton, PA 18067 Attn: Ilene Eckhart, Township Manager Northampton Borough 1401 Laubach Avenue Northampton, PA 18067 Attn: LeRoy Brobst, Borough Manager (4/7) PUBLIC NOTICE MOORE TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY DAYS COMMITTEE APRIL MEETING DATE CHANGE MOORE TOWNSHIP, NORTHAMPTON COUNTY PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the Moore Township Community Days Committee will hold the April regular meeting at the municipal building, 2491 Community Drive, Bath, PA 18014 on Tuesday, April 12 at 6:30 PM.

Ukrainian humanitarian aid collection, which residents didn’t receive. Mayor Mirabito asked if Vice President Hesch could go back to NAZCOG to see if other municipalities are having issues with it as well. She stated, “I don’t want to have to send out an emergency alert, and residents don’t receive it.” In other business, councilwoman Phyllis Andrews presented a report on the Environmental Steering Committee’s electronic recycling event that took place on March 19, stating the event went well. Andrews also shared some statistics, revealing the borough had 11,093 pounds of electronic recycling on June 1, 2021, 12,867 pounds in July 2021, and 2,800 pounds in November 2021, totaling 26,670 pounds of electronic recycling. Councilwoman Andrews also expressed the Environmental Steering Committee will only be holding this event once a year in the future, which does not have a definitive date yet, but will be held in the middle of the year. Additionally, the event will be for both recycling and shredding. Next, Vice President Hesch discussed the Old Home Week historical celebration being held August 14-19 by the Community and Economic Development Committee. The borough will be hosting a time capsule ceremony, a softball and community picnic with crafts for kids and live music, a dinner and a movie event with food trucks on site, a business night, and a dinner at the American Legion. During that week, the borough is asking all residents and businesses in the Borough of Bath to decorate their homes patriotically in red, white, and blue. More information on the events can be found on the Borough of Bath Facebook page. Following, Vice President Hesch commented on the Monocacy Creek Watershed Liaison project that is coming up on Saturday, April 9. The liaison will be planting 25 sweet gum trees, which were donated by the state.
“Anybody interested in helping, meet at Borough Hall at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.” In other news, Council Pro Tem Barry Fenstermaker presented the playground equipment for the dog park that the Parks & Recreation Committee is looking to purchase. In total, Fenstermaker said the equipment will cost a little more than the Republican Club donated to the committee, and the remaining costs will come out of the Parks & Recreation Fund. The Parks & Recreation Committee is also looking to purchase a portable stage that will be able to be rented out and used anywhere within the borough. More information is still to come on the matter, as the committee is still waiting to hear back from a company that does rentals in the area. During the Mayor’s report, Mayor Mirabito announced the borough has a new State Police captain, Captain Derek A. Koch, who will be at the borough’s Coffee with a Cop event on October 1 from 9 to 11 a.m. Mayor Mirabito also brought up the speed limit machine that has been on E. Main Street, and stated the machine has a stealth mode, so even when it doesn’t look like it’s on, it is still recording. The machine is working and will be moved around the borough going forward. Mayor Mirabito also wanted to give “a huge thank you to everyone in the borough that donated to the Ukrainian Collection Aid,” which collected a total of 10 and a half pallets of medical supplies and other items. During the “In Progress Business” section of the meeting’s agenda, managing partner Anthony Maula and his engineering representative Salvatore Caiazzo of Bathwick Hill Apartments requested an extension for their land development plan. Borough Solicitor James F. Kratz engaged in a lengthy conversation with Maula regarding the current violations of the property’s proposed driveway, adamantly stating the driveway violates multiple SALDO and zoning ordinances. Maula expressed, “We intend to develop the property prop-

erly and safely, but we’re asking for an extension of time to work through the planning process and submit revised plans.” Solicitor Kratz then recommended the council hold an executive session to deliberate. After a lengthy deliberation, council, with recommendation from the Bath Planning Commission, unanimously voted to deny the extension of the current application from the Bathwick Hill Apartments development plan and denied the Bathwick Hills Apartment land development application with associated plans. The Bathwick Hills plan violates more than 25 different subdivision land development and zoning rules. Bathwick Hills managing partner, Anthony Maula and his engineering representative, Sal Caiazzo are more than welcome to resubmit another application if they desire. Bath’s position has been that continual time extensions on an existing plan, with multiple land development violations, and over time has considerably deviated from the original submission requires a new application to the borough. Council voted to end the time limit extensions and ultimately that the plans as put forward are not acceptable to the borough under established land development and zoning rules. Maula expressed, “I am disappointed in the process and in the change.” In the next order of business, the council members unanimously granted the motion appointing, in addition to Jake Schray, SEO #03134 of Hanover Engineering as Primary SEO, the following SEOs from Hanover Engineering; Scott J. Brown, SEO #01716, Christopher A. Taylor, SEO #03138, Luke E. Eggert, SEO #04090, and Justin P. Robbins, SEEO #04079. Following, the Howard Kulp Architects proposal, dated April 1, 2022, was motioned by Council accepting the proposal, with a pre-condition change being required to the satisfaction of the borough’s Solicitor’s office prior to signing. Next on the agenda, two proposed ordinance amendments for council consideration and adoption were discussed. The proposed ordinance amendment for the Vehicles & Traffic Ordinance was voted on with a unanimous “yes.” The amendment updates the Uniform Traffic Regulations, relocating a Loading Zone in front of 225 W. Northampton St. and creates No Stopping Zones. The proposed ordinance amendment for the Property and Management Code was also granted a unanimous “yes,” which will eliminate the board of appeals process and require appeals go before the Magisterial District Court. Council members then deliberated for a second time in an executive session regarding the Sunshine Act. Two formal votes followed the deliberation. The first was a
motion to engage with architect Howard Kovacs regarding the roof repair of the building. Borough Solicitor James F. Kratz stated he reviewed the proposed contract and has several proposed changes that he recommends. Kratz recommended that the borough move forward with the proposed contract under preconditions pursuant to a written agreement that is subject to the satisfaction of the borough solicitor from a legal standpoint. Lastly, in a somber tone, the borough granted a motion to accept the resignation of Borough of Bath Office Administrator Marena Rasmus, which was received on Sunday, April 3, effective on the same day. The motion was granted unanimously, but Council Pro Tem Barry Fenstermaker expressed that Rasmus’ resignation is accepted “with regret.” Rasmus served the Borough of Bath as Office Administrator

for six years and will be greatly missed by the council members and the borough. The next bi-monthly council meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 13 at 6 p.m., and the next regular monthly council meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 2 at 6 p.m. Both meetings will be held at the Bath Borough building, located at 121 S. Walnut St.
