Proposed LT maintenance Building plan questioned by JOE KORBA The August 14 Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meet-

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Tuesday, August 14, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors granted Rockefeller Group approval for early morning concrete pouring from September through December. Lot 5 of the Rockefeller Group’s Willowbrook Road warehouse development will require a one million square-foot slab of concrete, which equals about 20 concrete pours. Developers were seeking flexibility from supervisors to allow them to start pouring as early as 1 a.m. to account for possible weather conditions, minimize traffic concerns, and sweep Willowbrook Road in advance of rush hour. They estimate that the entire process of pouring the concrete will take about 20 days, with roughly 100 to 125 truck deliveries per pour. Rockefeller’s director of real estate development Johanna Chervak told supervisors that the pouring will be a “scheduled, orchestrated process.” It will take about six to seven hours to place the concrete, with trucks running every five to six minutes. Trucks will be off the road by 7 a.m. and the rest of the roughly 18 hour workday will consist of sawing, cutting, flattening, and finishing the concrete. This flexibility, said Chervak, will help minimize quality control issues and cracking.
Supervisor Gary Behler expressed concern over the early morning work. He cited a similar request from Rockefeller earlier in the year that he and his fellow supervisors rejected. “[I am] not changing my vote unless [there is] 100 percent no sound and no light,” he told Continued on page 3

Miller. During the meeting a major point of contention was the proposed plan for a new maintenance building for the township’s municipal and road crews. As outlined at the July 10 meeting the proposed new building will cost between 3.5 and 3.95 million dollars, not including site costs and other expenses like permits, insurance and foundation design. Miller related that township residents and people who own businesses in the township have come to her with concerns over the costs and the features the building will have. “Residents are not in tune with this building,” Miller said. “I have to look at the whole of the community.” A property tax increase of .50 to .75 mills would be necessary to fund the project as it is. The plans for the municipal building include features like heated floors, which Miller said is a luxury that just adds to the cost. At the last board meeting Chip Hazard, chairman of the building committee, gave a detailed presentation (available at www.lehightownship.com) about everything included at the proposed cost which has things like a bump-out area for administrative offices, a locker room with showers and a ventilation system for the main building. Miller described the building as a “dream” that fulfills a want rather than a need. Supervisor Keith Hantz Continued on page 3

disagreed saying that it is, in fact, a need and that he is planning on making a motion to move forward at the next meeting. “When you make the motion you should include where the money is coming from,” Miller said. In other township business, the board released some security to Wagner Estates, LTD. to continue construction in the Grace Estates development. Some issues with a neighboring resident regarding a water runoff basin in the development were addressed during the meeting. Township engineer Phil Malitsch reported on the water runoff issues on Butternut Drive. He went out with some residents after a rain event and observed a stone footbridge that obstructed the natural flow of water and diverted it onto the road. Malitsch said that the footbridge is impermeable and an obstruction that needs to be removed. The board agreed and are going to notify
neighbors. The board voted 3 - 1, with Supervisor Phil Gogel being the lone no, to put weight restrictions on some township roads. A 12-ton limit is in effect for Cherryville Road, a 15-ton limit for Indian Trail Road and a 12ton limit on Timberline Road between Mountain View and Lehigh Drive. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on August 28 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building.

Chervak. Meanwhile, Supervisor Larry Oberly voiced concern for the nearby homes in North Catasauqua. He asked whether it is possible to direct the work zone’s lighting away from those properties, and whether backup alarms could be muffled.

that minimize sound issues. In all of their other jobs in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, he said, they have not had any issues, concerns, or complaints. “We appreciate the concern for residential communities nearby,” he added. Behler ultimately was the only supervisor who voted against the request.

13 quotes
I love quotes, and here is why: they are inspiring, meaningful, funny, and they do well for my clients on social media. Friends share them, love them and help others with some much-needed inspiration. As a plus, many quotes I select are from famous people and you already know how much we love to be connected to fame. Here are some of my favorites starting with actress and star of the well-known film, Sabrina, Audrey Hepburn. 1. “Nothing is impossible; the word itself says, ‘I’m possible!’” —Audrey Hepburn 2. “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” —Maya Angelou 3. “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” —Henry Ford 4. “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” — Vince Lombardi 5. “Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent of how I react to it.” —Charles Swindoll. 6. “If you look at what you have in life, you’ll always have more. If you look at what you don’t have in life, you’ll never have enough.” —Oprah Winfrey 7. “Remember no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” —Eleanor Roosevelt 8. “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” —Jimmy Dean 9. “Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” —Theodore
Roosevelt 10. “To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.” —Eleanor Roosevelt 11. “Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.” —Les Brown Here is a quote for all of the sports fans: “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” —Michael Jordan Thought provoking and inspirational; which quote will inspire you? Norman Vincent Peale (the author of the book The Power of Positive Thinking) said, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” Something to consider.

First day of school in your area By HOME NEWS STAFF With the first day of school approaching, please remember to allow extra time if your morning and afternoon travels require you to interact with school buses and pedestrians. Pennsylvania law requires motorists stop at least 10 feet away from school buses when their red lights are flashing and their stop arm is extended. Motorists following or traveling alongside a school bus must also stop until
the red lights have stopped flashing and the stop arm is withdrawn. Do not proceed until all the children have reached a place of safety. Penalties for failure to obey school bus safety laws can result in a $250 fine, five points on a driving record and a 60-day license suspension. Parents are reminded to ensure their children arrive at the bus stop early to avoid rushing. Students should stay where the bus
driver can see them while boarding or exiting the bus. First day of school in local area schools: • Bethlehem Area Monday, Aug. 27 • Nazareth Area - Monday, Aug. 27 • Northampton Area Monday, Aug. 27 • Pen Argyl Area - Monday, Aug. 27

process has been a frustration for parents,”points out TeacherLists President, John Driscoll. “Where to find the lists? When are they available? Forgetting the list on the counter at home. Hunting the aisles for the specific items their teacher has requested. All of those issues are solved with TeacherLists.” More than 50,000 schools now have lists posted on TeacherLists. Lists for more than 1 million classrooms are live on the site and include required and requested items as well as specific notes and clarifications from teachers and school staff.

Back to school health Submitted by DREW SCHAAR The start of a new school year can be overwhelming for children and teens. Feelings of stress, confusion, fear and doubt can often influence problem-solving and decision-making skills and for some, suicide may seem like an idea. According to national statistics, we lose more than 2,000 children and teens per year to suicide. It is the second leading cause of death among 10 to 19 year olds. Asking a child directly about suicidal thoughts is usually the best thing a parent can do to help their child open up about their emotions. Even if their child is not struggling with suicide or depression, parents can model for their child that it is good to talk about serious emotional concerns with trusted adults and important to reach out to friends to
have these conversations, too. Dr. John Ackerman, a clinical psychologist and suicide prevention coordinator for the Center for Suicide Prevention and Research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, offers recommendations: 1. Don’t wait for a crisis: A good opportunity to talk about suicide or mental health issues is when things are going well. 2. Check in regularly: Ask the child directly how they are doing and if they have ever had thoughts about ending their life. 3. Look for changes in mood and behavior: This could be a sign that something is wrong. For example, if the child seems really down, they stop doing things they normally enjoy, or you notice significant changes in eating or sleeping.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip One more week and we’ll be into the month of September. This year really has been going fast. It’s still hot, but before you know it, there will be talk about getting ready for Christmas. . . .I see the Subs store in Valleri Pizza’s former location has finally opened for business. Also noted that the former International TV has a new name, now that it has been fixed up in front after a car smashed into the building. . . .Congrats to Warren Henning! They presented him with a plaque, completely made of metal, on Saturday at the clambake thanking him for all the help he has given over the years. He got lots of hugs and kisses and handshakes from all his friends. . . “Gigi” Kahler was proud of the big American flag and a plaque in her honor with all the nice comments about her that she received at Town Council. She was showing it to folks at the Legion. . . .I hope somebody comes up with a good motto for our town. We’re in the middle of an historic area, and it would be good to recognize that history in a few words. I remember when Shirley Katz came up with the name for the Town & Country restaurant
years ago. Come on now, gang. Rack your brains. Northampton has its “Community of Unity”. We can do it, too. . . .West Northampton Street has gotten some patch work in preparation for Spuds & Suds day this Saturday. I’m just waiting for it to get a surfacing like East Main Street. That’s really nice. . . . The Little League World Series is going on in Williamsport. Phillies and Mets players signed lots of autographs as they walked around with the young players. But at night, the Mets beat the Phillies in a ball game, putting them in a tie with the Braves. Now the Braves are playing the Pirates and the Phillies are facing the Nationals in Washington, so we’ll see what comes out of all that. . . . .We’re in the middle of the harvest season. I’m really enjoying corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes, potatoes and all that summer has produced. You’ll find it all down at the Bath Farmers Market and the markets in Northampton and Nazareth. Especially enjoy the potatoes this weekend, and the assortment of toppings that people make for ‘em. Somehow, maybe you can divide your time between Bath’s event and Moore Township’s Community Day up at the rec center, ‘cause both are worthwhile, and on the same day! We have potatoes, music and beer; they have chicken dinners and fireworks, plus whatever the Klecknersville Rangers Fire Co. is
planning. What can I say? It’s up to you to choose. The weather’s supposed to be nice -- sunny, and comfortable air with less humidity. That’s the best news. Enjoy!!!
Creative Corner Back to School
By KATHLEEN UNGER Oh those words used to send chills down my spine. I didn’t like hearing those words or seeing them printed in the ads in the newspaper as the time to start school drew closer and closer. I was having so much fun on summer vacation, I didn’t want to hear those words. My neighborhood friends and I wanted more time to play baseball, ride our bikes and play hide and seek with boys against the girls. We had too much energy to expend and so little time. It seemed that the days of June, July and August flew by in a blink of an eye, while sitting in school seemed to drag on and on. Once school started, I settled in and became used to the routine. But I could never understand why a business student like myself had to take Biology! We managed to survive the class when we dissected a worm, but
when it came to dissecting the frog, that’s where I drew the line. The morning of the frog event, I told my mother I was too sick to go to school. I never played hookey but I decided I was NOT going to cut a frog apart and get sprayed in the face with formaldehyde. I pretended to be sick that day and after some negotiations with Mother, she allowed me to stay home for the day. The next day I went to Biology class again and of course, our teacher, Mr. “Amebia” Roth knew exactly why some of the female students had been absent the day before. He announced that all those who had missed school the day before would be getting an “F” for the class. I didn’t care; it was better than seeing the guts of a frog. Let me tell you, in all my years of being a secretary, I have never had to identify the insides of a frog or a worm for that matter. So what was the purpose? My favorite subjects were shorthand and typing. I dreamed of working in an office for a good looking boss, whose imaginary name was Mr. Keen. As a young child, I played office while other girls played house, or nurse or baseball. I enjoyed shuffling papers and filing them in folders. Of course, I also played with dolls and other girly toys but my heart was with Mr. Keen in my imaginary office. Every year just before school

started, my mother would plan a doggie roast for those going back to school. Early in August, a few of the neighborhood girls would develop an invitation in the shape of a paper hot dog, and spend hours printing the invitation and deciding who should be invited to the party. Mother and I would gather prizes such as candy bars, gum, pencils, and small trinkets to be awarded to the winners of the various games we set up for the children. There was drop the clothespin in the milk bottle, throw the ball at the clown face (a sheet hung over the washline with a hole in it painted like a clown face, the bike rodeo where every child who had a bike would decorate it with crepe paper, ribbons and other decor and prizes would be given for the prettiest, funniest and ugliest bike in the parade. There usually was a fish pond and some form of tag. Sometimes the game of tag got too rough and Mother had to call a stop to that game. The neighborhood children looked forward to the “doggie roast” every year. As some of the children outgrew the picnic, others took their place and carried on the tradition. Those children have now grown up and still remember Lottie’s “Back to School” doggie roasts.

Understand or Just Accept?
Must you understand everything about God and salvation in order to be saved from sin? Absolutely no! You only need to accept God’s provision for salvation. The fact is that you accept the concepts of time and space without fully understanding them. Imagine traveling in a spaceship at the speed of light. Would you eventually come to an end in space? But then…what is after that? Our minds cannot comprehend infinity, yet we accept it. The same is true of time. If we could go back in time to the beginning of all matter, the question is, “What was before then?” Our minds can’t grasp the infinity of time, yet we accept it. Of course, the only answer to time and matter is God! He always existed and He created everything just as the Bible says in John 1:3, “All things were made by him.” Nicodemus did not understand the spiritual concept of being “born again” and asked, “How can these things be?” (John 3:9). Jesus responded, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up” (John 3:9, 14). Surely those bitten by the snakes in Numbers 21:4-9 did not understand how they could be cured by simply accepting God’s provision and looking at the brass serpent hanging on the pole. So it is with us— we may not understand, but we must accept Jesus Christ, Who died upon the cross as God’s provision for our salvation, and look to Him for the forgiveness of our sins. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12).

Albert was an active member and volunteer of Salem U.C.C. Church of Moorestown, and a former member of East Hanover First Aid Squad, where he served as an ambulance driver for five years. He and his wife were members of Germania Park in Dover, NJ, a German-American cultural club. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, James A. Wettstein, Sr., of Moore Township; a daughter, Linda Laws; five grandchildren; a sister-in-law, Lydia Duh; nieces and nephews and families living in Germany and Switzerland.

Free Amateur Radio License Classes
Submitted by BOB GREEN Amateur Radio (ham radio) is a popular hobby and public communication service that brings people, electronics and communication together. People use ham radio to talk across town, around the world, or even into space, all without the Internet, landline phones or cell phones. It's fun, social, educational, and can be a lifeline during times of need. The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club offers free classes to prepare interested persons for the short entry-level FCC Amateur Radio license test and the start of enjoyment in amateur radio communications. Here's a chance for you to learn about amateur radio in emergency communication, in public service events, radio contests, or casual conversations with other “hams” potentially anywhere in the world. You’ll learn how radios and antennas work, how to set up and operate a station at home, in your vehicle, and while you walk using a small hand-held radio, and more. If you are within the age range of about 8 to 80+, and have an interest in amateur radio, you qualify for enrollment. For hams currently holding the entry-level license we also offer free classes to prepare for the test to upgrade to the General Class license. Classes for both entry-level and General Class license will start on Tuesday, Sept. 4, and run for 10 Tuesday evenings (the FCC license test will be offered on the 10th Tuesday), 7 to 9 p.m., at the Gracedale Complex in Nazareth. More information about amateur radio can be found on the Internet on our local DLARC’s website: www.dlarc.org/clubinfo/classes, and the national association’s website: www.arrl.org/ what-is-ham-radio. To register for the classes, or if you are curious and have questions about amateur radio or the classes, please call 610-432-8286 or email ke3aw@arrl.com. The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, a club of about 200 members.
