Backenstoe then referred to Walsh’s testimony alleging that the zoning officer determined the applicant failed to comply with required parking spaces and staging or queuing spaces in the preliminary plan. However, Backenstoe pointed out that the township engineer and zoning officer did not make any deter minations regarding parking and loading at this time. Backenstoe asked Walsh whether a memo was provided to the township engineer regard ing explanations for the questions that the township engineer asked in the Keystone Consulting Engi neers review letter dated January 24.Walsh responded that a memo was not issued to the township engineer before the zoning appeal was filed, but that the applicant provided answers during the July 6 appeal Backenstoepresentation.askedWalsh why they are filing for relief if they can comply with both provisions, which they admitted they can do. Walsh expressed their under standing that the township en gineer’s determinization was that the plan did not comply, which is why they were asking for an in terpretation.Next,Backenstoe brought up vehicular access to Jones Road, which is for emergency services only, and asked whether the ap plicant will be making improve ments to Jones Road for ingress and egress to the site.

Next, Backenstoe brought up the applicant’s request to forgo installing the required berm in fa vor of protecting the woodlands on the property. Backenstoe pro posed that the applicant could place the berm behind the wood lands to comply with both, which was also the determination made by the township engineer. Walsh expressed that this pres ents an undue hardship because it doubles the requirement for the front yard, and they are seek ing relief to maintain the existing vegetation in place of the berm.

However, Walsh explained that the areas of the plan where the steep slopes are not shown with their respective grades are due to being manmade steep slopes created by the golf course and do not relate to the applicant’s project area. Backenstoe asked Walsh, “Would you agree with me that prior disturbance of the natural resource does not make the re sourceWalshunnatural?”responded, “I would say that the ordinance was intended to protect currently natural re sources, not the current condi tions, which is developed.” Backenstoe rebutted that manmade slopes are also regulated by the township, but Walsh stated that he did not believe this to be the case for this development because the developer is planning to flatten the steep slopes for the construction of the warehouses. Next, Backenstoe referred to Walsh’s testimony that the town ship is requiring off-site improve ments and asked how the town ship’s request for the applicant to perform a Transportation Impact Study at additional intersections outside the scope of two miles due to the nature and magnitude of the project, including Route 512 and Route 248, is asking for off-siteWalshimprovements.expressedthat the ordi nance is not asking for improve ments, but a review of their case law indicates they may be respon sible for improvements to these intersections depending on the results of the traffic study. However, Backenstoe stated that any improvements required to these intersections would be required by PennDOT, not the township. Additionally, the appli cant did not schedule a scoping meeting with township staff, the township engineer, and represen tatives of PennDOT to establish the scope of the traffic study to comply with the ordinance.
Backenstoe then asked Horvath about the importance of the iden tification of steep slopes by their grade to determine the magni tude of the slopes and determine the magnitude if those slopes are disturbed and the conflict be tween the zoning ordinance and the SALDO. It was determined that provisions in the subdivision and land development varying of design standards shall not be considered to be in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance which shall take precedence, as provided by subsection 200-4-D of the township Zoning Ordi nance.Horvath also provided testimo ny that Jones Road does not meet current standards, which triggers improvements that will need to be made to Jones Road by the ap plicant.Dueto the length of the meet ing, Kaplin will be able to crossexamine Horvath at the next meeting, which will reconvene on Wednesday, September 21 at 6 p.m. in the Moore Elementary School cafeteria, located at 2835 Mountain View Dr., Bath. from page 2 well as the famous loaded baked potato bar from Christ Church of Bath.

Now that’s not really giving the discussion the time it’s worth, yet truly no medicinal options exist for what this young lady and mil lions of others are going through. Her problem is not the result of a Synthroid shortage. We may be able to clinically see the symptom and resultant harm, yet nobody knows what’s causing the prob lem.The doctor did recommend supporting her thyroid nutrition ally. If he didn’t say that, what would he say? The answer is noth ing and I consider this doctor as perhaps the best endocrinolo gist I have known. The doctor stated that selenium was the first line nutrient of choice. I agree completely. I feel selenium me thionine may be a better choice than most and I recommend it in many cases. Before we go any fur ther and start prescribing a pro gram of targeted nutrients from a bottle, we need to boil it all down to four simple words: The answer is food.Didyou hear what the doctor said? He said selenium. A nu trient. I am not against it, I am all for it and this particular case we have had this individual on selenium for about six months. However, the answer is not syn thetic drugs, nor is it synthetic man-made vitamins. The an swer, dear reader, is food. Food made by God’s hand-not made by man. The answer to 99% of all that afflicts you, us, we is real, unadulterated food. In this case, Brazilian nuts have God-made se lenium in them. It’s pretty simple really. If you think I am mistaken, then think again. Just the other day my gut was literally in agony. I whimpered to my wife that my stomach was really upset and she was going to have to take the garbage out (I am kidding about that last part). My wife said to me, “That’s what you get for eating plastic.”
“I have always enjoyed coach ing our young people,” he said. Both of his brothers have spent years working in local industry. Greg’s late sister, Rosemary, spent years at a landmark restau rant. Do you remember Roy Sny der’s, over Whitehall way? I do. She was our favorite waitress. Frank Csencsitz experienced the horrors of war for 22 months from Normandy to V-E Day. Re turning home, he raised a family of faith with strong values. This writer spoke to Frank, my neighbor, frequently. He never talked about his World War II service.Ahumble man, Frank would rather speak about his days at Keystone Cement, where he was a dedicated cement worker. We thank Greg and Catherine for their cooperation and kind ness in writing this series. We will be back in two weeks. The answer is food by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC This past week I was consult ing with a person who suffers with thyroid abnormalities. For transparency’s sake, I have been given permission to discuss the situation here in the column. I had sent this individual back out for follow up blood work that has PerspectivesNatural For the healthminded individual been performed on several occa sions over the years. This time we added tests for auto-immune which came back positive. This particular time we were able to forward the reports onto her en docrinologist before her upcom ing appointment with him. The nuts and bolts of it all is that her thyroid hormone levels are completely normal, yet she has an auto-immune condition that is silently attacking her thy roid. This exact situation is in epidemic proportion within our community. More than likely, most reading this today are af flicted, yet nobody has put the pieces together yet. While only in her twenties we are looking to unburden the situ ation as best we can now as we all know situations left unaddressed can wreak havoc later in life. Her doctor related that since all her hormone levels are perfect there is nothing he could do for her. I have said this before that medi cine has just one bullet to use on the thyroid and it’s levothyroxine (or its better known brand, Syn throid or the like.)

The pool season ended on Au gust 20. Receipts came in slightly behind last year. Brobst believes this is because Northampton's pool was one of the only public pools open in 2021. The Depart ment of Health visited the pool on August 11 for a routine in spection. It was the first inspec tion conducted since 2012 due to staff shortages. The pool passed.

A year after an unofficial access point to the Nor-Bath Trail was closed off, residents are wonder ing when a new public access point will be established. They approached Northampton Bor ough Council on Thursday, Au gust 18, to voice their concerns. Residents of McKeever Lane had previously used a neighbor ing private property to access the trail. However, a new property owner placed “No Trespassing” signs on their land in response to safety and liability concerns. “We are a little frustrated,” said Linda Homishak, a resident of McKeever Lane. She said the next closest access point to the more “natural” part of the trail is too far“Thataway. trail is there for us to use,” she continued. The borough had attempted to establish an easement with an other property owner. Trees were cleared while construction began on the access point. However, the property owner changed their mind. The borough is now clos ing off the entrance out of safety concerns and restoring the prop erty to its natural state. Orange fencing is installed to prevent trespassers.Homishak and other residents in attendance asked whether the borough could purchase the pri vate property and remove the orange fencing, which they said is an eyesore as well as a safety hazard because children may po tentially use the unfinished area to access the trail.
“It is unfortunate that one per son has created such a problem,” said neighbor Lori Novogratz. “One person has just as much right to their property as you do,” BrobstCouncilmanresponded.Ronald Glassic agreed. “They pay taxes just like you do,” he said.

JUNKLUGGERS.COM family would] drive through Bath and that was the place where all the cars were covered in cement dust. My uncle’s dad, Earl Spen gler, owned the barbershop over the creek by the Red Wolf, and so that's where we would get hair cuts for 50 cents,” said Kortz. Kortz explained when she re ceived the call to do the Bath Museum, she thought to herself, “It can’t be that extravagant, it’s Bath.” However, Kortz said she was blown away by the collection, and began her research. Kortz said, “Bath, of course, was from William Penn who came here because the king owed him money. William Allen was also [an important man] here, and he had two daughters.” She explained that one daughter named Margaret married one of William Penn’s sons and named Bath after where she came from, which is how the town got its name in 1728. “At the time, Bath was con sidered quite an interesting little community, it only had about five buildings, but one historian said they are buildings of merit-they have mills, they have black smiths, they have cider presses, things that would bring other people that they needed,” Kortz said.“Governor Wolf, who grew up on Jacksonville Road, was such a progressive he went to the Acad emy in the first year, as did other boys from Bath,” said Kortz. She explained the Academy was a classical education in humani ties, mathematics, etc., and all in English. After Wolf graduated, he was principal for some time be fore going to Easton to work as anKortzattorney.explained he worked not for the rich, but for the common man.Kortz also detailed the connec tion Bath has to George Washing ton. She told of General Robert Brown, a loyal American from this area, who was captured by the British. Once he was released, George Washington made him a Lieutenant in his army. Later, Washington gifted Brown two chestnut trees. One tree was planted on Airport Road near Friendship Framing, named after the Friendship Tree. “At one time that tree was eight feet across, it was massive,” said Kortz. However, after a massive storm ripped half of it off, a huge pole and cabling was used to try and save the tree. [We’ve] got that cable and part of that tree in the museum. That's from George Washington!” Kortz exclaimed.Kortzsaid the Bath Museum contains all kinds of interest ing and fun things you may not know about, even an old wool swimming suit from the women’s swimming team. Kortz noted that over 30 doc tors have come out of Bath and 10 famous lawyers. She said the first successful cataracts surgery was done on Chestnut Street, the first successful cesarean where the mother and child both survived was performed in Bath, the first president of Muhlenberg Col lege came out of Bath, and spirit lamps were invented in Bath. Bath is also the oldest borough in the state after Easton and Beth lehem, had four marble cutters, two foundries, carriage manufac turing, two cigar factories, two bakeries, several furniture manu facturers, two silk mills, two tan neries, an extremely successful printing industry, 20 other vari ous stores, a celebration hall, a coronet band, a fire department long before other municipalities, a booming cement manufactur ing industry, one of the first post offices, which cost 11 cents to mail a letter, one of the first rail roads that used a standard train track size, and a trolley system amongst many other remarkable businesses and industries.
“I wasn’t expecting so many incredible things and such tal ent from the people that settled Bath,” Kortz expressed. “Bath is in a wonderful resur gence and Bath is at the begin ning of it all,” Kortz added.
