Today, we continue our youthful memories of Weaversville.

We recall the Danner Saw Mill.

The mill was an open-air operation that operated until the cold winter season. There was no building.

Stanley Danner, the owner, and his wife resided in Northampton. Both Stanley and

his wife worked together sawing both logs and firewood. The mill yard was always filled with logs to mill. One of the mill’s best customers was the Pennsylvania State Farm, which had a large farm in Weaversville.

Stanley later constructed the present building, enclosed the mill and resided in the second

story. The road adjacent to the mill is named for Danner in memory of the operation. Recently, the building owner placed a saw mill sign on the structure to recall the old mill.

The busiest building in Weaversville was the Frable General Store, which stocked groceries, meat and Atlantic gasoline.

It was always busy, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. The owner, Conrad Frable, was loved by young and old.

As youths, we would walk over for soda (A-Treat) and a dip of Dolly Madison ice cream. Sitting on old folding chairs, we saw men from the Bethlehem Steel stop for cigarettes - Lucky Strike and Chesterfield were popular.

Farmers would purchase Red Man chewing tobacco.

Pennsylvania Dutch was still spoken by many customers.

Mr. Frable probably spoke more Dutch some days than English.

Customers spoke about their problems - weather, crops and prices, politics and local gossip.

You learned quite a bit just by listening. As age approached, the store was run by a new owner until it eventually moved.

The last Weaversville store was located in an old garage owned

by Arch Hetrick. Arch operated the garage and was also an automobile salesman at Bethlehem Motors. One of his mechanics was Lester Christman, who resided a few steps from the garage.

We still recall a comical sign that hung in the garage. It read, “If you spit on the floor at home, do so also here and feel at home.”

Our reply, “No, thank you.”

Woodrow “Woody” Klepping-

He operated a successful market there, specializing in fresh meat.

Woody, a skilled butcher, had worked at the well-known Kornfeind’s Market in Northamp-

ton. With the advent of large supermarkets, the last store in Weaversville closed and was converted into an apartment.

We will conclude our series in two weeks.

75th anniversary of 1945 Bath flood Submitted by BLAINE HOFFMEISTER, Historian for the Bath Museum On July 9, 2020, it was 75 years ago on July 9, 1945 that Bath experienced its worst flood in its history. Two separate storms formed to cause a gigantic cloudburst that struck without warning, leaving in its wake an estimated $108,000 in property damages and the loss of one human life. All over the downtown area homes were flooded. The next day it was time to dig out mud-covered everything in cellars and on the first floor and it

was everyone’s task to clean up.

Twenty-five German war prisoners were brought to town by bus from the Tobyhanna Army Barracks the week after the flood, and they did clean away wreckage from under several bridges.

NOTE: My good friend Joan Smith of Bath gave me 33 different photos of the 1945 flood.

Many of these were never seen by the people of Bath. We at the Bath Museum talked about having a special flood exhibit and have a set of 12 souvenir postcards printed, but the pandemic put a stop to that for now.

Northampton Borough Gov. Wolf: 11 years at $7.25. Pennsylvania Council discusses impound workers deserve a raise Submitted by LYNDSAY the state many workers are on the Virginia, Ohio or New York. lot and sewer line repairs KENSINGER job and earning poverty wages Pennsylvanians are known for

By CHRISTINA SANTO The Northampton Borough Council met on Thursday, August 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

One community member present addressed an ongoing issue with the Canal Street Park and a business across the street.

Residents and non-residents going to the park are parking their cars in lots meant for businesses in the area. When club members and customers drive by and see a full parking lot, they don’t feel safe going in, which is decreasing necessary business.

Further, there are people that are changing into bathing suits and leaving their belongings and trash behind, including beer bottles.

The Borough Council is aware of this issue, and is working on a solution, but is unable to share anything with the public at this time.

Wheels on the Canal, a car show and vendor fair held at the Canal Street Park, will take place on Saturday, May 15, 2021 (rain date May 16), as approved by the council. The event benefits Mission 22 and Blue Heart Mothers of America; however, this year’s event was canceled due to the Coronavirus.

Council members also discussed the draft of an ordinance that would create an impound lot at the back of the fire station. A public meeting will be held in the future to discuss any concerns, as

well as the fees associated with the lot.

The Gospel Chapel and Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church both received approval for future events.

The Gospel Chapel will hold its annual picnic on Sunday, August 16 at the Municipal Park and will follow all COVID-19 guidelines.

The Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church will hold two more services on Sunday, August 9 and 23.

Next, council discussed filling vacant positions on the Zoning Hearing Board and UCC Board of Appeals, but nothing came of the discussion. Councilman Robert McHale suggested the borough advertise the vacancies on their website.

McHale gave an update on a sewer line that needed repairs; the line that broke was from 1929 and was made of clay. A contractor was brought in to do these repairs since special equipment was needed. Council said the repairs should have wrapped up on Friday, August 7.

Finally, most council members expressed gratitude for the fire department and their help during the storm last Tuesday performing rescues and pumping flooded basements.

The next Northampton Borough Council meeting will be held on Thursday, August 20 at 7:30 pm. in the municipal building.

Freeman announces nearly $115K in state grants to aid in COVID safety mitigation Submitted by SHANNON KEITH State Rep. Robert Freeman announced that $114,870 in federal funding has been allocated to two area schools in the Easton area to assist with implementing public health and safety plans.

The grants were awarded as follows: Colonial Intermediate Unit No. 20: $24,700.

Easton Area School District: $90,170.

“Our students, staff and educators deserve to have the safest learning and working environments,” Freeman said. “To be effective in the ongoing pandemic mitigation efforts, our local districts need an investment like this so that they can resume operations and provide the educational opportunities that allow our children to reach their fullest potential.”

The funds can be used toward the safe reopening of schools, including the purchase of pro-

tective equipment, hand sanitizer and/or cleaning products; equipment or technology to take classrooms online; installation of barriers or other protective devices in building structures; or to purchase health apps to assist in contact tracing and monitoring of students.

According to Freeman, the grants are administered by the state Department of Education, with the federal funding based on both the shares of total enrollments by each postsecondary sector and the number of socioeconomically disadvantaged students served by institutions. The funding awards were calculated based on the allocation for federal Perkins CTC grants, which take into account the population of students aged 5-17 and the percent of poverty within the same age group.

More information about this grant program is available by contacting Freeman’s office at 610-253-5543.

July marked the 11th anniversary of Pennsylvania’s last minimum wage increase. The state’s wage floor has been stuck at $7.25 since July 24, 2009, when the federal government, not the commonwealth, raised the minimum wage. With many workers struggling to get by, especially essential workers who are providing vital services during the pandemic, Governor Tom Wolf called on the General Assembly to finally raise the wage.

“It is a sad reminder that across

because Pennsylvania hasn’t raised the minimum wage in over a decade. Many of them are essential workers, who throughout the COVID-19 pandemic have gone to work and put themselves at risk to provide the services all of us rely on.

“While those hardworking people lag behind, 29 other states – including all of our neighbors – have raised the wage for their workers. It’s ridiculous that a Pennsylvanian earns less for the same job than someone in West

our tremendous work ethic, but too many of them, especially our essential workers, can’t afford their basic needs. That must be unacceptable to all of us.

“Eleven years is far too long for hardworking people – no matter the age – to struggle with low wages. Now more than ever, it’s time for the General Assembly to listen. It’s time to raise Pennsylvania’s minimum wage.”

100 Years in the Making Karl V. Johnson will be 100 on August 31, 2020.

Karl was born in Tatamy and lived there for more than 90 years, and resided at 533 Broad Street, for more than 75 years. He attended school in Tatamy, and was affectionately known to his peers as “Garlic.”

A World War II Army veteran, Karl served as Military Police in the Philippines.

His dedication to Tatamy was shown by his involvement as recording secretary of the Tatamy Fire Company for over a decade, and was chief truck driver for many years. He served as treasurer of the Tatamy Athletic Association and was elected to Borough Council. Karl also cleaned and detailed cars from his teen years until well into his eighth decade. He also did various handyman jobs for many local residents and friends.

While he continues to think of himself as a Tatamy “kid,” he now resides at Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth. During this time that makes it difficult to celebrate his century of life in person, friends and acquaintances are invited to shower him with birthday cards and greetings by August 31.

Cards may be addressed to: Karl V. Johnson Moravian Hall Square - Morningstar Living Apt. 1212 175 West North Street Nazareth, PA 18064

Psychology of scams

Submitted by STEVE GARDNER One of the hardest things to understand about scams can be how victims become victims.

When you hear about a scam secondhand, the red flags can seem obvious. What isn’t obvious in the retelling of the story is the intense emotional state scammers create. Today’s fraudsters are trained in psychological manipulation.

They know how to get their tar-

Having grown up during the depression, Karl learned the importance of hard work. His first job was at the Nazareth Item Printing & Newspaper company.

After WWII, he was employed at local cement companies; Binney & Smith Easton, where he was a crayon color mixer; Nazareth Steel Fabricators; and retired from Equipto, in Tatamy. In addition, he washed and detailed cars for many years and became the “handyman” for local residents who had painting or small home repairs projects.

World War II Service Karl served in the U.S. Army during World War II. He was inducted into the Army on March 26, 1945 in Easton. He trained at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina.

Scammers will keep their victims in the ether as long as they can; many will never see the signs until it is too late. Understanding these tactics can help you avoid scammers and help friends and loved ones who might be in this situation.

Jacobsburg Historical Society presents PASSPORT TO HISTORY WEEKEND!

Tatamy native and WWII Army Vet Karl Johnson to celebrate 100th birthday Submitted by JANET JOHNSON Tatamy native and World War II veteran Karl Johnson will celebrate his 100th birthday on Monday, Aug. 31, 2020.

Karl Vincent Johnson was born in Tatamy, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, on Aug. 31, 1920. He was the second son of Clayton Lloyd Johnson (1895-1988) and Florence Helen (Young) Johnson (1894-1989).

The elder son, Bertrand, was born on Dec. 29, 1918, and passed away May 1, 1992. (Clayton was a printer for the Nazareth Item, and his father, Milton, served as Tatamy Burgess.)

Karl attended school in Tatamy (in what is now the Tatamy municipal building and Post Office).

He married Dorothy Irene Young (1919-2013) on May 13, 1939.

Karl and Dorothy made their home on Broad Street in Tatamy, where they resided for 74 years.

Their first son, Terry, was born on Nov. 4, 1939. A second son,

was actively involved with the Tatamy Fire Company, where he served as recording secretary and chief driver. He also was treasurer of baseball’s Tatamy Indians Athletic Association, and mowed the ball field regularly to make sure it was in shape for play.

Celebrating 100 Karl now resides at Moravian Hall Square in Nazareth. He continues to faithfully read the newspaper every day and keeps his sons informed on news of family acquaintances and of local interest.

BATH AREA Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

Does Anything Matter Anymore?

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Some would say the world is falling apart. Some will say it is falling into place. Where do you stand on the matter? I bet your answer might change depending on the swapping of one word“the” for “their.” Some would say their world is falling apart-some would say their world is falling into place. With this small yet significant change, now how do you reply?

This morning I woke to the news that a good man I know lost his father late last night. The pain and anguish of such surely would lend itself to his world, their family’s world, falling apart.

Even if at this very moment, you told him he hit the lottery, won a vacation, got a promotion, or any other supposedly falling into place items, this man’s tears would still flow from his broken heart and his broken world.

I personally have experienced as much and I am sure many of us have.

Presently, we find ourselves in difficult times on many fronts.

Civil unrest, economic uncertainty, and deadly pandemic quickly come to mind, yet those are just the three on everyone’s list. The next few difficulties to be listed are, of course, going to be unique to us personally and

different from person to person. Loss of a loved one, sudden injury, chronic illness, domestic issues such as divorce or abuse, broken relationships among siblings, drug addictions, loneliness; the list can go on and on for each and every one of us. None are immune; it’s just different. We each have our own list. We all suffer in some way, albeit temporary reprieves at times.

The storms of and within our lives do come for each and every one of us. If I have conveyed anything to my children, it’s not the “if,” but “when” understanding of life as we know it. Now I didn’t know that 2020 would be the year it all happened at once. I have even begun nailing and taping down everything in the house in case the planet stops spinning suddenly...

At what point do all the mounting issues force you to throw up your hands and declare you give up? That you’re done?

You couldn’t care less what hap-

pens anymore. Have you hit that point yet? Many have. I talk with people who feel this way. Frankly, I understand.

I didn’t write this week’s article to offer up a solution. I don’t have one. But by golly, I know who does and in fact, from God’s perspective, I believe everything is truly falling into place just as He has ordained since before the beginning of time. I find comfort, real confidence in that last statement.

The purpose of this week’s article is to do my best to tell you that as the world, your world, our world may seem to be falling apart, you can find truth in knowing that you matter. What happens to you, what you think, what you feel, really matters from the most seemingly insignificant item like burnt toast to a cancer diagnosis. It all matters. You matter.

John 3;16.

Until next time-Peace be upon you.

Within 30 minutes, the car’s interior can climb from 85° to 120°.

I was raised by amazingly strong Italian parents...very strong-willed Italian parents - if you are of Italian descent - you know what I mean. At a very young age my parents instilled in me the meaning of “respect” among many other things. Respect for self; others; property, etc.

Sadly, more and more in today’s society - the word no longer exists. Well, let me re-phrase… the word exists but the practice does not. Perhaps it is what’s happening today in our world so much uncertainty; so many feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and anger as well. Although, in my book - still doesn’t give anyone the right to be disrespectful.

We came to this country in January of 1968 - my immigrant parents with two suitcases, the clothes on their back, maybe $300 American dollars, and me an almost 6 year old with my little radio and my doll. My parents were sponsored by my mother’s Uncle Vincent Fantozzi to work in his factory, Mary Fashion Mfg.

Still today my father continues to say - “we came here to give my daughter a better life.” Brings me to tears when I think about them leaving everything dear to them behind, in hopes of experiencing “the American dream.” Why am I saying this - because this country has given me more than anything I could’ve ever imagined… and, therefore - I choose to RESPECT this nation and its flag… no matter whom the President is.

At a time when we should all be coming together - we seem to be more and more divided. I don’t care what your political affiliation is; what your religion is; what race you are; what nationality you are; what you own; what you have; what position you hold…to me - it simply does not matter. What matters is being a good human being - be accepting, be tolerant, and most of all “R-E-S-P-E-C-T-F-U-L.” All the best, Mayor Mirabito

Obituaries Floyd E. Schlegel

Floyd E. Schlegel, 92, of Bath, formerly of Moore To w n s h i p, passed away on Monday, Aug. 3, 2020, at home.

Born in Moore Township, Floyd was a son of the late Walter H. and Mamie (Hagenbuch) Schlegel.

Floyd was a graduate of Nazareth High School, Class of 1945. He received his Bachelor’s degree in Music Education in 1949, and a Master’s degree in Music Education in 1951, both from Penn State University. After serving in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict, he continued with additional graduate work at New York University.

Music was his life passion and Floyd enjoyed an outstanding career as a music educator, which included teaching positions in public schools at State College and Nazareth. He served as Director of Music in Bellefonte at State College churches, as well as St. John’s United Church of Christ, Nazareth, for 36 years, and St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, Whitehall. In 1962, he organized the handbell program at St. John’s U.C.C. in Nazareth. The 50th anniversary of this program was celebrated in 2012 and remains an active part of the church. After retiring from St. John’s U.C.C., Floyd served as an organist in Milford, NJ, as well as in Slatedale and Whitehall.

Floyd was a former member of the American Guild of Organists and was a member of The Bach Choir of Bethlehem for 13 years. Additionally, he served as director of the St. Luke’s Singers for 20 years; served on the committee which developed the 1975 United Church of Christ Hymnal; and was a volunteer for Meals On Wheels for 25 years.

In 2004, Floyd was inducted into the Nazareth High School Wall of Fame, and in 2005, received an Outstanding Senior Volunteer Award through the Northampton County Agency on Aging. A love of music and dedication to

service of others is how we will remember the enduring legacy of Floyd.

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip Hi gang, I hope everyone is staying safe in this heat lately.

Man oh man, that was quite the rain we got last Tuesday! Luckily our house is practically the only one on our street that doesn’t get water in the basement, but I know others didn’t fare as well.

Thank to Mr. Blaine Hoffmeister for submitting some content about the Great Bath Flood of 1945. The 75th anniversary was in July. We’re a month off, but still a great reminder of what once was. Especially compared to some of the photos we have from last week’s storm. What a great idea our friends at the Bath Museum had to have a special Bath Flood exhibit. Makes sense, it’s a huge part of the town’s history...Anywho, the Bath Duck Race was able to proceed this year, they almost sold outta tickets, good for them. I wasn’t able to make it but I would imagine that was a quick race on accounta the water moving so quickly. Congrats to all the winners...15 pounds of produce was harvested and donated to the Northampton Area Food Bank from the community garden this past week, and 19 pounds the week before. Holy moly! That’s a lot of fresh produce. Good for them, great job to all who contribute to such a great cause...Hayes Flowers in Bath is celebrating sunflower season. They’re having a contest, if you stop in and guess how tall the sunflower is outside of the shop, the winner receives a gift certificate good for a fresh floral Thanksgiving centerpiece.

Get on over there and get guessin!

Speakin of future holidays...folks are very concerned about the status of Halloween. I guess since so many other summer things have been cancelled, they’re shiftin’ gears to the fall. I did hear that Trick or Treat is tentatively still on for the Borough of Bath. It will be Halloween, Oct. 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. in the borough only. I am unsure at this

Stories From My Heart

by Cynthia Jean DeLuca The Sweet Sounds of Sunday

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a day to rest, a day to worship, a day to just be. Early this morning, as I enjoyed my cup of coffee on the front porch, the peace and quiet within the stillness of the warm air filled me with a sense of contentment. A beautiful Cardinal, perched on the telephone wire high above me, sang his beautiful song. It was as if he was singing just to me.

Then from a distance, the church bells rang, reminding me of someone who loves me more than I could ever imagine. The peace I felt encompassed my very being. It is incredible how little things can make us smile even when we are alone.

As the sun continued to rise, the sound of a little child giggling took me back to a time when my children were small.

Oh, how I miss those days. I closed my eyes and instantly saw four children, two boys and two girls, playing, swimming, and having the time of their lives. More smiles spread over my face, wishing I could turn back time.

Then it was quiet again, and the birds were serenading me as if they were a choir dressed in colorful robes. I pictured an angel clothed in a long white gown with arms reaching towards the heavens leading the birds in songs of love and gratitude. Their unique music filled my heart with joy.

As time marched on, the Sunday sounds changed and became clouded, muffling the sweet sounds of early morning, trying to mask my peace.

But I would not allow it. I am in love with peace.

Dear readers, when you are overwhelmed, feeling down, or just need some time, find a quiet place, close your eyes, and just listen. Let the sounds of music or nature fill your heart with peace. Let your peace become flowers of hope.

A Duck

(to be or not to be)

By Charles McIlhaney Jr. Congratulations to the “lucky duck” winner of the Great Bath Duck Race this year. As a boy, I remember seeing mother ducks float along in the gentler moving waters of the creek with a small paddling of vocal ducklings following her in close pursuit.

I wonder what a mother duck thinks these days to see the large

raft of silent ducklings float by post haste in the fast moving rapids of the creek? Probably, like most matured mothers, she just shakes her head thinking “kids today are always in such a hurry.”

I am not a duck said he, Yet, to my discerning eye, It was as a duck he looked to me, Still the rumor he staunchly denied.

And held regardless of his anatomy, It was not a duck he claimed to be.

Moreover, he ambled in awkward stride, As with a duck’s peculiar motion.

In rhythmic waddling from side to side, But again he decried the notion.

And though with a duck’s gait he appeared to be, He claimed no duck in his pedigree.

And in his voice could be clearly heard To even untrained ear detected, That of a quacking with his every word, Still the notion he sternly rejected.

And though as a duck he sounded to me, He claimed no connection in his family tree.

But if as a duck he appears to the eyes And in all other manner be the same, Then of no matter to his claim of disguise Or called by any other name.
