Bethlehem native Shoots third film in the Lehigh Valley
Northampton Diner was closed to patrons last Wednesday for filming of “The Hail Mary.”
By CHRISTINA SANTO Bethlehem native Daniel Roebuck is just about ready to wrap filming on his newest movie, “The Hail Mary.” The film is a comedy about Sister Kathy, a nun with a sense of humor, who finds an angry loner in need of redemption and leads him to atonement by conning him into creating a football team for her all-boys Catholic School. It stars Roebuck himself as Jake Bauer and Marsha Dietlein-Bennett as Sister Kathy, as well as Timothy E. Goodwin, Bret Anthony, and others. “The Hail Mary” follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, “Getting Grace” and “Lucky Louie,” in that it is a faith-based film with its roots in the Lehigh Valley.
“Getting Grace” was Roebuck’s successful directorial debut and premiered in 2018. “The Hail Mary” was announced March 11, 2020, just days before the pandemic shut down, at the Roxy Theatre in Northampton, and production was subsequently delayed. Roebuck switched gears and thus “Lucky Louie” was created; that film is currently in post-production, but no release date has been announced. A Channel of Peace, a not-forprofit organization founded by Roebuck, is one of many sponsors of “The Hail Mary.” According to its website, A Channel of Peace is “ dedicated to producing and supporting films and other multimedia projects and endeavContinued on page 7

East Allen Township Rejects Waiver Request for Airport Road Warehouse By KERI LINDENMUTH
During the August 11 East Allen Township Board of Supervisors Meeting, supervisors rejected a waiver for Airport Road Lot 1 in a 2-2 vote. Developers were requesting 12-inch frost footings as opposed to 30-inch footings, which the township requires. The 12-inch footings were already installed along the warehouse’s development at Airport Road and the Nor-Bath Trail in 2018 due to oversight after Northampton County approved them in 2017. These footings are placed below the frost line to help provide extra stability. Removing these footings now, said developers and attorney Lisa Pereira, would compromise the trail. Township engineer James Milot said that 30-inch footings are better for maintenance, but they are not a maintenance obligation for the township. Instead, if the footings were to fail, it would be up to the county and the developer to remediate the issue. “Evidently, it ends up becoming our issue,” said Supervisor Chris Crus. “I am very uncomfortable unless we get a letter that [the county] prefers the 12-inch over the 30.” Cruz and Supervisor Georgiann Hunsicker voted “no” on the Continued on page 5
Eagle Scout dedicates New cakewalk at Peach festival
Elias with dad Kirk, mom Amy, and sister Sadie in front of the cakewalk.
By LAUREN SCHUSTER On Saturday, August 14, during Salem United Church of Christ’s annual peach festival, Elias Decker of Scout Troop 50 debuted and dedicated his finished Eagle Scout project— a refurbished cakewalk area for the church’s picnic grounds. A lifetime member of Salem UCC, Elias has been a long time attendee of the peach festival. While the church has long held the festival on its grounds, Elias recalled that the former cakewalk felt “kind of simple” alongside the other facilities and could stand to be improved. He decided to tackle the renovations as his Eagle Scout project, planning the necessary fixes and purchasing all the materials himself. “I
did a fundraiser,” Elias explained. “I sold firewood at the end of my driveway.” While he was able to cover the cost of paint, wood, and other materials on his own, Elias also noted that his family and the other members of Troop 50 provided valuable support for the project— “Every member of the troop helped” when it came time to redo the cakewalk.

With the continuing increase in volume of leaves it has become impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program; therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and Township Emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pick-up. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED 1. Leaves cannot be collected on private roads.

Allen Township Fire Company presents capital Equipment plan By KERI LINDENMUTH During the Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting on Tuesday, August 10, the Allen Township Fire Company presented their capital equipment plan and made a request for an elevated waterway engine. “We are equipped to handle farming, mobile home, [and] single story [fires],” said Jacob Schock, president of the fire company. “[But] the new Allen Township is different.” The “new” Allen Township, he said, has taller, wider buildings, including warehouses, schools, and multistory and multifamily residential units. “We do not want to see a raging warehouse and commercial fire that we cannot get a hold of,” he told supervisors. The fire company currently has a rescue engine, a water pump engine, a freightliner, and several smaller utility vehicles; however, none have the height or the water power to fight a warehouse fire. “This township has an unmet need,” Schock said, before introducing the features of an elevated waterway engine. This apparatus has a reach of 65 feet, plus the reach of the water. It holds 1,000 gallons of water and can be operated by one person, beneficial during a time in which volunteer numbers are down. The engine can reach elevated floors, lowering internal room temperatures and decreasing the chance of flashing. It is also equipped with a camera so firefighters can see the angles they’re targeting. The cost of the vehicle is roughly $1 million, money the fire company does have in their capital improvement fund and the township’s 2022 budget. Schock said the vehicle could be ordered in fall 2021, customized, and delivered to the township by
fall 2022. The company plans to reuse equipment from other trucks to save on costs, in addition to selling their 1999 rescue truck. Supervisor Gerald Montanari voiced displeasure that developers like FedEx are not helping the fire company pay for these new needs. He also asked Schock whether the fire company has thought about sharing inventory between other local fire companies. “We talk to our neighbors all the time,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler, who is also the township’s fire chief. “They do not have this vehicle…[and we] want something that helps us and helps them.” “We are changing with the times,” Hassler continued. “We would have bought this back in 2007 had we known how pervasive warehouses would be.” Schock said the fire company could further save on costs by paying at signing, which would allow them to save as much as $30,000. Supervisors asked Schock to return to the next meeting with the names of manufacturers and their estimates. Then, the board will vote on a “not-to-exceed” number that the township will donate to the fire company out of their budget to help pay for the new apparatus. In other news, supervisors voted to approve Phase 2B of the FedEx parking lot extension. Three new areas will be expanded, two for employee vehicle parking (644 spaces total) and one area for a comingle lot. This expansion has always been planned as part of the original development plan. Improvements will start in 2021 and complete in 2022. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, August 24 at 7 p.m. at the Fire Company Building.

waiver. Supervisors Don Heiney and Mark Schwartz voted “yes.” Supervisor Roger Unangst was absent. Developers will return on August 26 to be heard again in front of a full board. Developers warned supervisors that, should the footers have to be removed, a half-mile of the Nor-Bath Trail will be destroyed out of necessity. In other news, supervisors debated the demolition of the old stone farmhouse that sits at the corner of Weaversville Road and Colony Drive. Hunsicker voiced her opposition to the move. “The history here is being lost,” she said. She added that members of the township have offered to volunteer their time to repair the building. Cruz agreed. He said he is trying to get a committee together to look for grants and donations. “There is a way to get this done and make it presentable to the township,” he said. However, public works members worried that the stone house is blocking the line-of-sight for drivers turning on to Weaversville Road, causing safety issues. Supervisors tabled the discussion for a later date, but line-ofsight safety brought up another discussion amongst supervisors after it was discovered that public works was going to cut down trees on the opposite corner of the stone home, on private property that belongs to a former township supervisor. “I think people should know that there are people getting trees cut down for free when others are paying $10,000,” said Hunsicker. “Just because you were a supervisor or because you know somebody, you should not get trees cut down at taxpayer expense,” she continued. Township Manager Brent Green committed to the board that public works would not remove the trees until after the supervisors’ next meeting, during which time supervisors can workshop a policy for private property owners. Finally, the township is still looking for residents who are interested in completing the River Central Comprehensive Plan survey. This survey will help inform future development in East Allen and neighboring municipalities. The survey can be found at planrivercentral.org. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on August 26 at 7 p.m.

Todd Brosky CIC President
Submitted by NANCY THATCHER On Friday, August 6, Dean Hower was recognized as an Outstanding Senior of Northampton County. This award is given yearly to seniors who have done a lot for their community over the years. Dean was honored for his work with Lehigh Township Rails to Trails, the Delaware and Lehigh National Historic Corridor, the Walnutport Canal Association and other organizations. He spearheaded many projects with LTRT, including the renovation of the lock 25 area along the Walnutport towpath, the restoration of a concrete phone booth along the D&L trail and the creation of a path in the woods at Indian Trail Park. Dean also serves as Vice-President of LTRT. For the D&L, he does work as both a Trail Tender and an Ambassador. During the Walnutport Canal Festival, Dean manages the free bicycle parking area. Known to many people as “Dean the Bikeman,” he is involved with repairing and selling bikes. From the time his daughter was young, he has enjoyed riding and hiking area trails. Dean lives in the Treichlers area of Lehigh Township with his wife, Barb. They have a daughter who lives in Pittsburgh.
Northampton Borough Council Rose garden article Correction
By KERI LINDENMUTH In the August 12 edition of The Home News, in the article summarizing the August 5 Northampton Borough Council meeting, it was incorrectly stated that the Lehigh Valley Rose Society had partnered with Northampton Borough to turn Canal Park into a rose garden. This is not the case. Says Nate Fisher, President of the Lehigh Valley Rose Society, “The Lehigh Valley Rose Society sent a cursory email out to multiple municipalities in Lehigh and Northampton Counties on July 29 in the late evening, offering to design/plant/maintain a rose garden in a municipality within our footprint…One municipality responded July 30 early in the morning that they were interested and we scheduled a site visit at one of the parks for the following Tuesday. We had not heard back from any other municipalities until an email from Northampton a week later.” At this time, the Rose Society has no involvement in the planning or future of Canal Park.

The Hail Mary
Continued from page 1
ors that provide insight into the advancement of family, faith in God, and the values of love, forgiveness, good works, and gratitude.” Discover Lehigh Valley, an or-
ganization that aims to “strengthen [the] Lehigh Valley’s economy through tourism, while enhancing quality of life and regional pride,” is another sponsor of the film. The organization mainly helps with exposure and marketing for “The Hail Mary,” and helps out financially where they can, according to CEO and Presi-
dent Alex Michaels. Lehigh Valley filming locations include the Northampton Diner, the Mary Immaculate Seminary, the Alliance Volunteer Fire Company, Liberty High School, and more. Tony Pristash, Northampton Borough councilman, helped to scope out locations for the film, get Roebuck behind closed doors, and help in any other way the borough can, such as getting part of Main Street blocked off for filming. “We are very fortunate to have Dan [shoot his movie here] and proud of the borough. We look forward to the premiere where we can join Dan in celebrating this movie,” said Pristash, who also serves as borough liaison. This movie is not only a Lehigh Valley affair, but a family affair as well. Roebuck’s daughter, Grace, serves as the movie’s producer.
DRIVEWAYS BY MAURICE
Grace majored in production at the California State University, Northridge campus. She previously worked with her father on “Lucky Louie” throughout the pandemic, helping write and direct the film. Roebuck’s mother, Elaine Espeland, is also a part of the movie. Espeland and her Prayer Squad came all the way from Damascus, Maryland to serve as ex-
tras in one of the movie’s scenes. Other members of the Prayer Squad are Rachel Kasinowicz, Andrew Barlow, Jonathan Edeleman, Judy Partlow, and Jane Milligen Hague. Filming for “The Hail Mary” will wrap on August 20, just a month after it started. The movie will be out sometime next summer after going through postproduction.

Submitted by BECKY BARTLETT Lamont McClure announces that, due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the area, Northampton County will again require face masks at all county buildings. Anyone entering a County building must wear a facemask and submit to a temperature check at the door. “It is unfortunate that the County must re-impose its facemask policy but, with the number of cases rising and the increase in hospitalizations, it is necessary to protect public health,” says Lamont McClure. “I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated. The sooner we reach herd immunity, the sooner we can break the back of this pan-
demic.” Northampton County Prison (NCP) and Gracedale Nursing Home have maintained facemask policies since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. NCP continues to be closed to volunteers and visitors. Gracedale Nursing Home allows for visits from family members and compassionate visits if they are scheduled in advance. All volunteers are required to be vaccinated. Lamont McClure and Lehigh Valley Hospital-Coordinated Health Allentown Hospital (LVH-CHA) remind county residents that the drive-through center at 3100 Emrick Blvd. in Bethlehem Township offers both testing for COVID-19 and vaccinations. Hours of op-
eration are Monday,Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. Vaccinations are by appointment only and are only available for Northampton County residents ages 12 and over. Patients can choose from all three vaccines: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Pfizer and Moderna require two shots administered three weeks apart, Johnson and Johnson requires only one dose. To make an appointment for a vaccine at the COVID-19 testing site use one of the following options: • Schedule at the LVHN website at LVHN.org/appointments. • Schedule on the MyLVHN patient portal, at MyLVHN.org. • Call 833-584-6283 (833-LVHN-CVD).

Namaaaste: Goat yoga held At George Taylor House
By KERI LINDENMUTH Smiles, stretches, and goat cuddles abound could be found at the George Taylor House in Catasauqua on Sunday, August 15. Two goat yoga events were held as a fundraiser for the historic property. Yogis of all ages came out to get a workout in while playing with the five baby goats that made an appearance: George, Taylor, Anne, Bugle, and Woogie. Richard Guth, volunteer with the George Taylor House, said it was the first yoga event for the monthold kids. But they weren't the only newcomers. It was also the first goat yoga event for certified instructor Toni Zuper. By the end of the day, George, Taylor, and the gang not only had guests smiling and laughing, but saying "namaaaste!"

Sermonette
Following Jesus
By FRANKLIN HOMME Well those of us who got married said our vows – a part of which said we follow our partners. We dedicate ourselves to each other and before we know it, we’re married 40-50-60 years. We dedicate ourselves till death do part. Have you ever followed a car to go somewhere, and it seems that the car forgets you are following them? This works sometimes, not too much with traffic though. What if someone gets in front of you-or a fork in the road and you have to decide, did he turn there? You must choose which way to go. One thing for sure: if God is leading in your life, he’ll tell you which way to go. When observing this, the impression is not necessarily that of someone who knows everywhere they’re going, but of someone who clearly knows who
they’re following. Same way with your marriage decades later; your marriage is tightly knit with love and a commitment that has carried you through both hard and good times. Year after year, you both recommitted your dedication to support each other. (With God’s help.) (Jeremiah 2:1-8;8;3;14-15) – (Jeremiah.2:2) The Hebrew word for decline conveys the highest loyalty and commitment possible. A similar principle is also true for Christians, but now our choice is whether to follow Christ or one’s self. Sometimes we are willing to follow Jesus as long as He’s going where we want. We should trust Him regardless of where He leads us. Despite the undeniably powerful feeling in the early stages of marriage, time can dull the sharp edge of love and a lack of zeal can lead to unfaithfulness. We know it will be a problem in our marriage. What about the fervor of your love with God? If we are devoted to Him, we must deny ourselves and take up the cross (Matt. 6:19-21). O God, our plans mean nothing if we aren’t following God.

Do you have:
Our real treasure isn’t measured in what we accumulate-but in what or when we invest our time and our passions-what treasures “are we are storing up in Heaven by serving and following Jesus.” Self-denial means giving up our right to lead and sundering to Christ’s lordship over our lives. Because we follow Him, our gentle and humble leader, (Matthew 11:29) life is never burdensome, it's the way of hope and healing. Our award for following Jesus is one of the benefits available, now in the form of Christ’s peace and joy in our hearts, the sweet fellowship of our faith community. He will give us much more than we ever sacrificed to Him. Because we follow Him, our gentle and humble leader (Matt.11:29,) is never burdensome- it’s the way of hope and healing. What do you think of peace? Have you ever considered the peace God gives to those who love Him? (Col. 3:15). As we seek His peace, we trust that He will meet us with His love. In order to follow Jesus, we need to read the scriptures; they teach us how to live. Believing and accepting that you are loved by the Father will in turn affect your feelings for Him. Commit to knowing Him more intimately and accurately through His word and your affection and prayer, you’ll discover that the saying “to know him is to love Him” is certainly true of God. Marriage is a commitment and requires trust (and God helps others to forgive and trust others), and God in a miraculous way restored their marriage. And if we follow God, He will lead us in the right direction. God longs for us today to be near Him. As we come to Him in faith, we can trust that in Him we find complete fulfillment.

Disorderly Conduct At Walmart
On July 18 at 3:19 p.m., CRPD was dispatched to the Walmart in Lower Nazareth Township. Officers were advised there was a fight in the store between a male and a female. Upon arriving, officers were advised the male had left. Officers spoke to the female, identified as 33-year-old Ashley Anderson of Brooklyn, New York. Anderson said an unknown male struck her with his shopping cart several times. Officers spoke to witnesses who said Anderson started creating a scene and being loud when she wasn’t given the proper change. According to witnesses, the male told her to be quiet and stop cursing, which
