During the Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, August 9, supervisors unanimously granted Prologis, a warehouse development on Wil lowbrook Road, permission to conduct overnight concrete pours at two construction sites on the property.Kristine Dwyer, project man ager at Prologis, requested that pours start at 1 a.m. and run through 7 p.m. Typical work hours at the site are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.“[We are] trying to catch up on the schedule,” she told supervi sors. “[We had] some issues with the concrete and the soil on the site.”Prologis has already received zoning approval for an onsite batch plant. Slab pours would be conducted every two to three days, with four trucks running through the day. Dwyer said a new schedule would be submit ted if temperatures change and that the developers would be will ing to measure sound decibels to prevent a nuisance to neighbor ingSupervisorproperties.Gary Behler asked that the developers work with nearby residents. “If they don’t have any prob lems with it, then I don’t have any problems with it,” he said. Supervisors voted to allow the developers three 24-hour work days per week, Monday through Friday, through the end of Au gust, with the stipulation that the schedule may change should neighboring residents complain. In other news, supervisors ex plored traffic calming measures for East Bullshead Road. Resi dents of Country Road, a deadend cul-de-sac off East Bullshead, have complained of tractor trail ers using the road to turn around. Township Manager Ilene Eck hart calls this cul-de-sac the “point of no return.” If truck drivers don’t turn around here, they become stuck beneath the Nor-Bath Trail Trestle. Recovery and road closures can take hours. “[Country Road] is the last hope to get yourself turned around and out of there in one piece,” Eckhart said. She said she has begun to explore solutions for this repeated problem and asked supervisors for their thoughts. “We do not have enough sig nage on Willowbrook Road,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “We need large signs.” Hassler suggested that signs, four to eight feet wide, be placed before the East Bullshead inter section.“Weneed something that these drivers see,” he added. Behler wondered whether a roundabout would work to keep traffic moving while allowing trucks to turn around. “You are talking megabucks,” said Hassler. “If we can curve [truck traffic] by putting that sign up..the end result would be the same…You’re keeping the trucks off that Hasslerroad.”said signs should be the first step before exploring some thing like a Supervisorsroundabout.agreed,but not all were hopeful that change would be“I’llseen.be shocked if you find any thing changes there,” said Behler. During the meeting, supervi sors also approved Eckhart to send a letter to PennDOT, re questing that the state perform a speed study of all state roads in the township. This study includes Indian Trail Road, Kreidersville Road, Howertown Road, and Cherryville Road. Cherryville Road, said Eckhart, is the town ship’s highest fatality road. Finally, supervisors approved the LSA Grant application for Monroe and Lehigh/Northamp ton Counties. The township will apply for $159,900 to purchase a new public works backhoe. The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, August 23, at 7 p.m.

The time capsule was origi nally buried on Aug. 9, 1987, by Richard Fischl, Jr. outside the borough’s old municipal build ing and is not to be opened until Aug. 9, During2037.the rededication out side the new municipal build ing, Father Christopher Butera blessed the time capsule. “Grant that we may continue the work they have begun,” he prayed, asking that future gener ations continue to lead the bor ough through continued prog ress, justice, and success. Following the rededication, the crowd gathered at nearby Ciff Cowling Park for the first-ever Borough of Bath softball tourna ment, sponsored by the Bath Al len Youth Club. The tournament featured four teams: Two from the Caravan Crew (represent ing Caravan Cigar Company), a team representing the Red Wolf Bar and Grille, and the Bath Tubs (representing Bath Borough Council and administration). “Wish us luck,” Mayor Fiorella Mirabito joked. “Hopefully, we can walk away with all of our bones.”Pastor Jay Wetzel delivered a prayer for the kickoff of Old Home Week, while Pastor Terry Walsh blessed the start of the softball game. The National An them was performed by Kaitlyn Kolonia. State Representative Ann Flood and Northamp ton County Councilman Tom Giovanni also offered remarks before the game. “The past two years have brought forth many challenges, but we persevered,” said Rep resentative Flood. She said she looks forward to the borough’s future.Those attending the game could purchase souvenir tum blers, sign an Old Home Week commemorative poster, and take photos in front of an Instagramworthy Old Home Week photo shoot display from Hayes Flow ers.Council Pro Tem Barry Fen stermaker delivered the first pitch.The tournament featured four games, seven innings each. The Bath Tubs and Caravan Crew were the first teams to hit the field. Fittingly, Hesch was the first player to cross home plate, bringing in the first run of the day for the Bath Tubs. The Tubs rallied early, bringing in four runs in the first inning alone. While the Caravan Crew came out on top in the end, there were plenty of laughs, cheers, and smiles to go around…smiles that were bound to last through the entire, event-filled week.

East Allen Supervisors consider Waivers for Snowdrift Road Land development By SAVANNAH BROWN At their meeting on Wednes day, Aug. 10, the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors approved the insurance settle ment agreement for the township tractor that caught fire in June. Board members also approved an offer of $750 for the salvage value for the tractor, rear flail mower, and side boom mower to the in surance company, which will be deducted from the amount the township receives from the insur anceNext,company.supervisors approved putting four township prop erty items up for auction online, which included a Crafco Crack sealing Machine, a Tornado Salt Spreader, a Tractor Mounted PTO York Rake, and a 2008 Ford Escape SUV. The board also voted to reau thorize the approval to purchase a white 2022 GMC 3500 Pro pick up truck at a cost of $53,910 us ing the $60,000 grant from LSA gaming funds. In other business, supervisors considered various waivers for the Snowdrift Storage Unit, which will be a two-bay, one-building, self-storage unit on Snowdrift Road.Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the preliminary and fi nal plans to run concurrently. The board also approved the waiver request to change the re quired scale of the development plan from 50-feet to 30-feet, which will make it easier to read and see, given the smaller size of theAproject.waiver request for the widen ing of the road was presented to the board due to the property’s typical cartway width being 24feet along the frontage of the property instead of 26-feet. The board’s consensus was to wait to hear recommendations from Ha nover Engineering. A waiver request for the con struction of sidewalks or path ways along the frontage of the property was also submitted. Township Engineer James Mi lot concurred with the planning commission’s recommendation for a full waiver of deferral and stated that it would be beneficial to make a provision for this in the long-term.Theboard approved the appli cant’s additional waiver request to defer street lighting until side Lehigh Township area call 610-393-0266 Friendly, but don’t chase Ginger went missing around 10:15 a.m. on Friday, Aug 12 from her yard on Katlyn Drive, Lehigh Twp. (skinny) her chin No collar walks are required. Next, the board considered various waivers for the Compass Business East Plan, which is also located on Snowdrift Road and is just under five acres. Tony Gan guzza from Boyle Construction and Donald Peters from Bohler Engineering presented the Land Development Plan, which is in the Office Commercial Zoning District. The applicant wants to add a business park consisting of 30 office units ranging from 1,000 to 1,600 square feet and at tached garages. Additionally, each unit will have an overhead garage. The applicant requested a waiv er for the submission of separate preliminary and final plans. Su pervisors voted unanimously to approve the preliminary and final plans to run concurrently. A waiver was also granted by the board to approve a 1:4 scale for the plan. A waiver was requested by the applicant to only be required to widen the roadway approximate ly 50’ in each direction at each driveway.Theapplicant’s last waiver re quest was for the concentrating storm water discharges and their associated energy dissipators. They’re currently required to be a minimum of 50’ from down stream properties. The applicant is requesting a waiver to provide a setback of 0’ for the end wall and energy dissipator. The waiver is contingent on UGI’s approval. Next, supervisors continued discussion on the Airport Road intersection pedestrian crossing. Moving the existing pole back 5-feet will cost the township roughly $15,000 to $20,000. The supervisors expressed this will be beneficial long-term, saving the township from having to pay $1,000 every time the pole gets hit by tractor trailers, which they stated was often. A unanimous motion was passed by the board to recom mend Hanover Engineering com mence design work, construction drawings, and bid documents to correct the Airport Road and Ha noverville Road/Snowdrift Road intersection.Inothernews, the supervisors approved trick-or-treat 2022 for Friday, October 28, with a rain date of Saturday, October 29.

The majority of board mem bers were in favor of option 3, having recorded video and audio available on the district website within 24 hours of each meeting. The board will move forward with having the Policy Commit tee draft a new policy. However, recorded meetings will not appear on the district website for two or three months. Kovalchik assured residents that the policy will be implemented before Christmas time.In other business, Kovalchik brought up the Act 34 Hear ing that the district be holding, which is required to be held by Pa. law when districts are in the process of looking at building a new building so districts cannot build a building that is beyond their means. Kovalchik stated that the administrators, archi tects, and engineers are going to need verbal direction on how the board wishes to move for ward regarding the closure of any buildings and construction of a new facility to prepare the Act 34 booklet, which justifies the need for the 329 elementary school project. Kovalchik added that the board will not be married to the decision and can choose to change its mind down the road. Moving forward, the school board will need to provide ver bal direction to begin the docu mentation for the hearing during the September 12 meeting and then vote to advertise the hearing during the October 10 meeting. Kovalchik stated that the tenta tive meeting for the Act 34 Hear ing will be Thursday, November 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the middle schoolNext,cafeteria.Kovalchik addressed the questions asked at the July meet ing regarding transgender stu dents in sports and explained that PIAA does not have a policy on transgender students competing in sports. Rather, PIAA leaves the decision up to the districts. Director of Athletics Shaun Murray added that he is unaware of any policies in place by the other districts in Northampton’s league and that situations are dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Vaughn asked, “Are there any trans athletes participating in sports in NASD at this time?”

Kovalchik stated that although there are transgender students throughout the district, he did not know whether he could le gally answer the question due to confidentially. Solicitor Ste ven Miller added that Vaughn’s question was difficult to answer because identifying students runs the risk of crossing the line be tween information that is made public and information that is protected under Family Educa tional Rights and Privacy Act. Several residents voiced their concern about their daughters and granddaughters sharing a bathroom or a locker room with transgender students. One resident stated, “We need to be proactive with transgender individuals in sports because of the emotional and physical dam age that can happen.” Another resident expressed, “What about the other students that might not feel comfortable using the same bathroom? It’s not about being homophobic or transphobic, but there have been documented cases of assault. NASD should look into being proactive before something hap pens. Maybe transgenders should be allowed to use faculty bath rooms.”Kovalchik noted, “We’re going to continue to work through this, but there’s only one way we’re going to be able to do this, and that’s if we work together to solve problems.”Allother agenda items were approved.

Submitted by JILL SILVIUS Pets of all sorts, their owners, and animal lovers are warmly in vited to take part in the Memorial Library of Nazareth’s Second An nual Pet Parade on Wednesday, August 24 at 6 p.m., followed by an ice cream celebration. by JOE KORBA In a brief Nazareth Area School Board meeting on August 9, the board conducted routine business and highlighted the activities that took place over the summer. Dr. Richard Kasky, who took over the superintendent position from Dennis Riker on July 1 of this year, had a lengthy report about the district’s accomplishments. The board completed a com prehensive three-year plan re quired for the Pennsylvania Department of Education. The committee managed to put to gether over 60 stakeholders, with input from educators, commu nity members and parents, to complete the plan. The mainte nance department renovated six classrooms and installed three roll-down security gates at Floyd R. Shafer Elementary School in theThedistrict.Information Technology team installed new firewalls and upgraded iPads for some grades. The transportation department implemented a new software pro gram to keep track of the buses. In addition, new staff was hired to help reduce class sizes in the schools and some existing staffing was reconfigured to fur ther shrink class sizes. A threeyear special education plan was also created. Two members of the business office retired and were replaced.“Teachers put in a lot of hard work during the summer months,” Kasky said. During public comment, two parents of students addressed the Critical Race Theory (CRT) con troversy. (Critical Race Theory, an academic concept that is more than 40 years old, has a core idea that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.)“Today, as a member of the La tino community, I want to speak up against what is being peddled in our community,” one parent said. “In a predominantly white community I was never pandered to. CRT is disgusting,” he said. “We don’t want it. We don’t need it. We were all created equal.”

Another parent concurred, “The reason people come to this community is the hometown feel. We don’t need to indoctri nate children to believe really odd things.”

On July 27 at 6:09 p.m., troop ers responded to Juniper Court in East Allen Township for the report of a phone scam. Upon speaking to the homeowner, an 88-year-old female reported she received a phone call from an in dividual identifying himself as her grandson who was in prison and needed money to get out of jail. The woman continued to report another individual, identifying as the grandson’s attorney, spoke on the phone and requested $6,500 cash from the homeowner. After withdrawing money from the bank, the homeowner contacted state police who ar rested Elvis Isaac Polanco, 25 of Allentown, when he came to the homeowner’s residence. Polanco was arraigned on July 28; bail was set at $65,000. On Aug. 9 at 11 a.m., troop ers responded to Main Street in Washington Township, Lehigh County for the report of a phone scam. Upon speaking with the homeowner, the 87-year-old woman reported she received similar phone calls from some one identifying as her grandson and then her grandson’s attorney. The individuals requested $8,800 cash from the homeowner. After speaking to the individu als requesting money, the home owner contacted state police who arrested two individuals who at tempted to retrieve the money from the homeowner’s residence. Christopher Negron, 29 of Pennsauken, NJ, and Edwin Tor rez Herrera, 27 of Philadelphia, were both arrested. Both of their bail was set at $15,000. State Police are urging anyone with similar incidents to verify the status of family members and to contact police if this situation occurs. Retail theft CRPD responded to a retail theft in progress at 3722 EastonNazareth Hwy on July 10. When officers arrived, it was determined that 32-year-old Ashley Rivera Albino was involved in a retail theft at the Walmart. A search of Rivera Albino’s property yielded drug paraphernalia.

It also enhances a room’s aes thetics and can make the space feel larger by drawing the eye up. Most home improvement and retail stores sell DIY wall shelf kits, but you don’t need to spend upward of $40+ on something you can make and install for a fraction of the price.

You’d be surprised what a fresh coat of paint can do for your mood, especially when you’re trying to get your fam ily ready for a new school year.

You’ll need assistance from a professional handyman to reconfigure, deconstruct, and reconstruct everything so that it flows better and provides the practical, efficient space you deserve for back to school.

8. Make Your Entryway More Functional When the kids wrap up their first day back to school, where do all their backpacks, shoes, and other school essentials end up? You guessed it—the entry way. Your foyer or entryway is typically the catch-all area for things, but not anymore! This school year, you’re going to make this space more function al so that it can store school items and maintain visual ap peal.
