During the August 3 Northampton Borough Council meeting, Paw Prints on the Canal organizer Candi Lynn and two of the organization’s volunteers presented Police Chief Bryan Kadingo with a donation of $13,094 for the police department’s K9 unit. These funds were raised during the June event, which was attended by thousands of visitors from across the Lehigh Valley and the East Coast.

“We had a really good year,” said Lynn. There were over 230 vendors present, selling pet supplies, raising awareness for rescue animals, and treating visitors to

delicious sweets.

This year marked the 14th year of the celebration. Over this time, the event has raised roughly $90,000 ($89,251.55) for the borough’s police department. Lynn and her volunteers were lauded by every member of the

Northampton County Establishes Treatment Court Program for Veterans

Submitted by CASEY SCHEFFLER

On behalf of the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County, Hon. Jennifer R. Sletvold, Administrative Judge of Problem-Solving Courts, has announced the establishment of Northampton County Veterans' Court.

“Treatment courts are the most innovative solution for veterans caught up in the criminal justice system due to substance use, mental health issues and/ or trauma. The Northampton County Veterans' Court will connect veterans to the benefits and treatment that they have earned and deserve,” Judge Sletvold said.

“The Court is creating an interdisciplinary team which will work together to afford each veteran the opportunity to achieve recovery and get their lives back on track, while maintaining accountability for their actions and decisions.”

The Veterans’ Court joins Northampton County’s Recovery Court and Mental Health Court, which were established on April 2, 2015 by President Judge Craig Dally. To date, there have been 87 successful Recovery Court graduates, and 100 successful Mental Health Court graduates, and while veterans have been among the graduates of these courts, the Northamp-

Moore Township Supervisors discuss Truck restriction study and NazPlan Implementation agreement

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Moore Township Board of Supervisors met Tuesday, August 1 to hear reports and discuss various updates from the township engineer and solicitor.

During reports, Detective Jason Gianatiempo shared that the Moore Township Police Department had 398 total calls for the month of July, which included seven verbal and written warnings, 18 traffic citations, 10 nontraffic citations for disorderly conduct, harassment, scattering of rubbish, use of consumer fireworks on property, use of consumer fireworks within 150-feet of a building, use of consumer fireworks under the consumption of alcohol, and violation of a township burning ordinance, as well as three arrests for assault, harassment, terroristic threats, and resisting arrests, three reportable accidents and one nonreportable accident.

Fire Police Captain Jason Harhart reported that the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Co. responded to 47 fire calls for the month of July, which included six fires, nine motor vehicle accidents, two automatic fire alarms, 10 ambulance assists, one standby with police, three wires down, five trees down, one odor investigation, three spills, one flooding, and six mutual aid calls for one motor vehicle accident, one fire alarm, and one tree down with Bath, one fire with Bushkill Township, and one fire with Allen Township.

Public Works Director Craig Hoffman shared that the Public Works Department has finished the prep work for the seal coat projects in the township. Seal coating will be scheduled for this month and will take approximately two days to complete. The information will be on the township website when the dates are determined.

In other news, Chairman Daniel Piorkowski reported that the Nazareth Council of Governments is looking into the possibility of regional fire departments due to local fire departments struggling to obtain volunteers.

Next, supervisors unanimously voted to approve the $165,000 appraisal for the Hager Open Space conservation easement on Keeler Road, which includes approximately 25.34 acres.

Township Engineer Kevin Horvath reported that Keystone Consulting Engineers began doing design work for four of the MS4 project basins that they received easement access for. Horvath is looking into getting pricing for next month’s meeting.

Horvath also expressed that he met with Bob Fedio of Fedio Construction for the Edelman Schoolhouse renovations. Fedio committed to a mid- to late-September start date with a 120-day turnover. Supervisors unanimously approved a motion for Horvath to draw up the contract for the project, which will cost $21,650. The cost of the project was already budgeted for the year and will cost less than anticipated.

Additionally, Horvath provided updates for the truck restriction study performed in the township for appropriateness of limiting or restricting truck traffic. KCE’s findings include the following: the recommendation for no trucks except local deliveries on Cherrywood Lane, Evanwood Lane, Fairway Lane, Par Lane, Oxford Circle, Yost Road and Smith Gap Road (East Scenic Drive to Skunk Road); the recommendation for no trucks on Jones Road (golf course driveway to Route 987); and the recommendation for no parking on both sides of the road on Plaza Court.

Supervisors unanimously approved a motion for Horvath to work with Township Solicitor David M. Backenstoe to begin drafting the ordinances for the abovementioned recommendations.

In other business, Solicitor Backenstoe shared that the township’s ordinance codification that will be available online pending advertisement and approval will now occur during the October meeting.

Backenstoe also prepared a resolution that the supervisors

unanimously adopted for the Nazareth Area Multimunicipal Comprehensive Plan Implementation Agreement, which will allow the township to work with Bushkill Township and a joint planner regarding what needs to be done for NazPlan’s zoning, SALDO, and storm water runoff ordinances to make them consistent with other municipalities involved in the plan.

Additionally, Backenstoe expressed that the township received a notice of a potential lawsuit for a motor vehicle accident that occurred on East Scenic Drive. Under the Tort Claims Act, individuals must provide a notice to the township if they plan to sue within the next six months. However, the township

ton County Problem-Solving Courts are proud to now be offering veterans a court designed to meet their particular needs.

The Court plans to partner with the Veterans' Administration and other community partners for the care and support of veterans admitted to the program. This will be a comprehen-

sive effort targeting non-violent offenders to combat substance use, mental health conditions and the criminal activity that brought them into contact with the justice system.

Through a unique partnership of the criminal justice community, social service organizations and agencies, local government and individuals, the Court will provide a judicially supervised treatment program designed specifically to identify, treat and benefit the men and women who have served our country and who have entered the criminal justice system. Northampton County

Veterans' Court is designed to address both diversionary and postplea cases.

The Court intends to begin accepting applications for admission to the program in the fall.

Northampton County joins 25 other Pennsylvania counties with Veterans Treatment Court programs that assist justice-involved veterans suffering from mental health issues such as posttraumatic stress disorder and other co-occurring disorders as a result of their service to this country.

The purpose of these programs is to reduce recidivism and help veterans return to their jobs and

families and become productive citizens. Participants are intensely supervised throughout the course of the program, while receiving guidance and support

from veteran mentors, as well as any necessary treatment from the VA or local treatment providers.

This year, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito’s mission during Old Home Weekend will be a “throw a buck in a truck” fundraiser to purchase school supplies for Bath Borough schools, with the truck being present at every event.

Additionally, Hayes Flowers will be celebrating their 55th anniversary on Business Night, and welcomes the public to join them for cake from 6 to 8 p.m.

In other business, Vice President Hesch brought up the price

of the borough’s parking meters, $1 per hour, and would like the borough to reconsider lowering the price in the future, which will be discussed at the next Public Safety Committee meeting.

Borough Engineer Ronald B. Madison reported that an official street overlay map will need to be addressed sometime in the near future since the borough does not currently have one, and that there are some minor corrections that need to be made to the overlay district map regarding zoning.

Madison also shared that he anticipates the Route 248 realignment project will be ready to put out to bid in the spring of 2024.

Borough Manager Bradford T. Flynn will tentatively hold a

meeting in January to discuss the project, signage and alternative routes with the public while the road is under construction. More information will be made available in the coming months.

Solicitor James F. Kratz divulged that there is language in the PennDOT SR-248 realignment sidewalk maintenance agreement that he would like to change, so council unanimously granted conditional approval for the agreement based upon the changes Kratz suggested.

Next, council discussed the possible vacation of Wolf Road, which came to their attention recently when a contiguous property owner presented the problem of how the road landlocks part of his property. The resident expressed that he would like to open up his property to put a single-family dwelling on the side of his land connected to Wolf Road. Other parts of the road have already been vacated, but the portion that is connected to his property where he wishes to build the home is not. Solicitor Kratz is looking into the matter.

In other news, council unanimously approved the adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-730 to amend Chapter 625: Vehicles and Traffic. The ordinance will add a 15-minute loading zone near MS Techz Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and creates a fix-it ticket provision for anyone who receives a parking ticket for expired inspection stickers. Those ticketed will be given 15 days to show the vehicle’s inspection, and upon proof of inspection, the borough will void the ticket for first time offenders.

Last, council unanimously approved a motion to advertise the adoption of Ordinance No. 2023-731 for the September meeting. The ordinance will amend Chapter 651: Weeds to clarify that weeds shall not exceed the curb line and eliminates the provision requiring property owners from removing weeds from the gutter between the curb and the street.

The next Bath borough Council meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 5 at 6 p.m. in the borough’s office building, located at 121 S. Walnut St.

The Bath Museum will be open on Saturday, August 12 during Bath’s Old Home Weekend instead of Saturday, August 19 (the third Saturday of the month). The hours are from 10 a.m. to noon and admission is free. The museum is located at 121 S. Walnut St. in the borough building.

Councilwoman Judith Haldeman said the team not only raised almost $90,000, which is an impressive amount, but they “put time, energy and dedication,” into this event, expecting nothing in return.

“That,” said Haldeman, “should be commended.”

Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. agreed. A former police officer, he has seen the work the department and its K9s can do when it comes to searching for, assisting and protecting members

of the public. He shared an experience he had during his time on duty in which a K9 correctly identified an arsonist who had been setting fire to vacant trailer homes.

“I am so glad and so proud that we have people in our community that volunteer to do something so monumental,” he said.

In addition to the monetary donation, Lynn and her team also presented Chief Kadingo with a plaque and gift basket for Vito, the borough’s retiring K9.

In other news, the council also celebrated the Northampton Fire Department. The department received a bronze-level certificate as an accredited department from the PA State Fire Academy and Office of the State Fire Commissioner.

Said Councilwoman Bonnie

Myster Tree and Shrub Service

Almond, “The bronze level certificate they received means the fire department demonstrated they are competent and capable of providing quality services to residents and visitors of the Commonwealth. I am very proud of our fire department.”

It was also announced during the meeting that Reverend Jerry Mraz will be dedicating the Canal Street Park butterfly garden on August 15 at 10:30 a.m. Mayor Tony Pristash, as well as several members of the council, local school children and local scouting troops, will be present at the ceremony.

Council also heard from Jordan Marsh, a resident of Palmerton. He was seeking permission to hold a concert on September 23 and borrow the borough’s Bandshell. The concert would run from noon until 8 p.m. and feature performances from local bands, as well as local art vendors. He was asked to provide a list of information, including the names of bands and vendors, to the council before voting.

Finally, council approved the River Central Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Plan. The Lehigh Valley Planning Commission was once again present to answer any questions about the plan, which would allow neighboring municipalities to work together on planning and zoning. All members of council voted in favor of the plan, except Lopzonzski, Sr., who abstained.

The next council meeting will be Thursday, August 17 at 7 p.m.

“Whether it’s breakfast tips, lunchbox inspiration, afterschool snacks, or supper in a snap, our dietitians understand that simple, easy and realistic food ideas are needed when it comes to navigating the back-to-school routine,” said Kilene Knitter, MS, RD, LDN, dietitian with the GIANT Company. “We’re here to also help you to add some fun and nutrition to the mix too!”

Check out some of the free virtual nutrition classes being offered by the GIANT Company this August:

• Overwhelmed by lunchbox

perfection seen on social media trends? Us too. This year, let the GIANT Company dietitians show how simple and affordable it can be to create fun and easy meals and snacks from day one in their Back to School Essentials series. Every Thursday at noon, they say bye-bye to the bento box and hello to realistic inspiration, like rainbow roll-ups and pancake stackers.

• Between helping with homework and driving to activities, who has time to cook an elaborate meal during the week? The dietitians show how simple and delicious it can be to make fast and fresh meals, like Mexican tofu scramble and Mediterranean nachos on Mondays at noon in the Meal Solution Mondays series.

• Whether navigating a food allergy in your family or looking to expand your knowledge, join Dietitian Joni Rampolla in a Table Talk series on Wednesdays at noon as she brings awareness by interviewing leaders and experts in the field, like the Kyah Rahn Foundation and Food Allergy Research & Education.

• The dietitians are ready with brain boosting information, tips and inspiration to help you gear up for this back-to-routine season in their Wellbeing Workshops every Wednesday at 8 p.m. They’ll explore topics like the MIND Diet, nutrients and supplements to support brain health featuring a collaboration with our pharmacy team, and a virtual store tour.

• Beginning your day with a balanced meal is the best way to get your body and mind ready to tackle this busy season. Join the dietitians on Saturday, August 26 at 10 a.m. in Mini Chef Mornings and celebrate National Cherry Popsicle Day by creating Cherry Yogurt Breakfast Popsicles.

Victor or Victim?

By BRYAN GOLDEN

Do you conquer problems or do they conquer you? It’s attitude that determines whether you are a victor or a victim. Your age, education, financial status, or social standing don’t matter. There are victors and victims from every background. Victors are not special. They are not better than others. Victors know “they can” whereas victims are convinced “they can’t.”

Whether you are a victor or victim is up to you. However, victims argue this is not the case. They claim they have no control over their circumstances. They believe some people are luckier than others or have more fortunate situations. A victim will point out that there’s nothing they can do to improve their situation.

Victors don’t make excuses. They don’t complain. Victors look at whatever problems are before them and then seek solutions. They work with what they have and start from where they are. Victors understand they have the ability to take control of their destiny.

You can choose to be a victor even if you are used to being

Victor or Victim?

Continued from page 14

a victim. Start with your selfperception. Visualize yourself as a victor, overcoming any obstacles you encounter. Don’t worry about not having an immediate solution. With a victor’s mindset, you will discover the answers you need.

As a victor, you are not susceptible to naysayers who provide you with a litany of reasons why you won’t succeed. As a victor, you are immune to ridicule. You don’t have a need to convince anyone of your chances for success. Instead, you simply stay focused on achieving your goal.

Victors know every problem has a solution and they are determined to find it. They look at problems from every angle. They break problems down to simplify them. They consider all possible solutions.

You are a victor when you automatically think, “I can,” rather than, “I can’t.” You purge your self-talk of negatives. You never discourage yourself with a constant barrage of pessimistic thoughts.

As a victor, you understand that anything is possible. Within you lies the power to achieve your dreams. You have more potential than you realize. Any limits you feel are self-imposed.

For you, failure is not an option. You know that failure only occurs when you give up. Setbacks are normal, providing an opportunity to grow. You learn from your mistakes rather than becoming

discouraged.

Victors are always honest, ethical and moral. They don’t take advantage of or cause harm to anyone. Victors harness the power of attraction. They treat others with kindness, respect and consideration.

A victor’s success is not at the expense of someone else. Being a victor is not selfish, nor does it cause other people to suffer. There’s no reason to be jealous of a victor. Anyone and everyone can achieve that status.

As you know, time goes by too fast. Being a victor enables you to get the most out of life. Too many people fail to live their dreams because they think and act like victims. The only thing stopping you is yourself.

If you don’t feel like a victor, objectively assess your thoughts and actions. Identify those areas which need adjustment. When things have consistently not been going your way, look in the mirror to determine the role you are playing. The past is over. What’s important is the course you will take from today forward.

Life is about making choices. It’s up to you to decide whether you will be a victor or a victim. The path you follow is up to you. No one else can or should pick it for you. Be determined to think and act like a victor from this moment on.
