Partners in protection: The unbreakable bond
Between the local K-9s and Handlers that keep us safe
incredible sensory abilities, work ethic, obedience, courage and intelligence.
K-9 units that have become invaluable to the departments they serve and the communities they protect.
By SAVANNAH BROWN
U.S. law enforcement began using K-9s in 1907, and they have since become an integral part of federal, state, county and local level law enforcement for their
K-9s undergo rigorous training to assist law enforcement through tasks such as search and rescue, suspect apprehension and detection of various items such as drugs, explosives, accelerants, land mines and human scent due to their nearly one billion scent receptors in their noses. This makes K-9s’ detection abilities far superior to both humans and technology, along with their abilities to see in the dark and run much faster.
Moreover, K-9 training also includes fostering a strong bond with their handler, which ensures effective teamwork in high pressure situations. Paired with their dedicated handlers, police K-9s are much more than just four-legged companions; they are integral members of the police force, bringing skills and abilities that enhance public safety in profound ways.
Both the Northampton Borough Police Department and Lehigh Township Police Department have
Roseto Borough residents Geoff Perry and Chico serve as members of the Northampton Borough Police Department. Officer Perry is both a patrolman and K-9 handler on the force, having been a police officer for nine years and a K-9 handler for just under a year and a half, whereas K-9 Chico joined the force in April 2023.
Chico is a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois who began his training all the way across the North Atlantic Ocean in Holland. Chico’s bonding experience with Officer Perry began immediately upon his arrival to the U.S. and then continued throughout a rigorous two-month handler school through Progressive K-9 Academy.
Officer Perry notes that it was challenging at first to see what commands Chico would respond best to due to his training in Holland, and because there was a delay
In this second column, I am speaking to Cindy Beck Deppe. Cindy was a former student of this writer at Northampton Area High School. Her father, William Beck, was the founder of the local landmark Becky’s Drive-In Theater in Berlinsville. Cindy is sharing her father’s memories of his film career and Becky’s Drive-In.
After working at a local quarry and the Keystone Lamp Company, William took his projector and the films he rented to many locations to entertain the public. He rented halls and traveled to local parks such as Bangor, Pen Argyl, Palmerton and Lehighton.
Civilian Conservation Corp Camps were also on Mr. Beck’s agenda. Our older readers may remember these camps. Some
readers may have served at some of these camps. The camps were formed during the New Deal of President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration at the time of the Great Depression during the 1930s.
The Civilian Conservation Corp, or CCC, offered jobs to unemployed men between 17 and 28 years of age. They planted trees, cut trails, cleared forests

and built reservoirs. The men were paid $30 a month; $22 was sent home to their families. Mr. Beck knew several local men who worked at the camps. William visited camps to show movies to the young men; some of which had never seen a movie.
Cindy relates, “My father was always looking for venues to show his films. He rented halls and went to family picnics to show films. He rented halls in rural areas. Some of the halls he rented were in Bowmanstown and Midway Pines in Kresgeville. My father’s goal was to always have an outdoor theater.”
Mr. Beck drove to Shankweiler's Drive-In in Orefield to ob-
serve their operations. When he came home, he went to Uncle Charlie’s Lunch, located a mile from the present Becky’s. After speaking to the owner, he was given permission to erect a screen at the back of the restaurant. The seating was rows of wooden benches. Films were shown to smiling audiences. His income came from selling food to the patrons, the year was 1936. This was his first outdoor theater and the only outdoor theater in Lehigh Township. Attendance was so good in 1939 that he decided to purchase land in the township to build his own theater. The township was rural, so land was available at various locations.
While looking for a location to build his theater, he continued to show films at many venues. Cindy recalled he even traveled
to Virginia to show films at halls and parks. The patrons enjoyed his Pennsylvania dialect. His travels remind this writer of Willie Nelson and his theme of “On the Road Again.”
Films were welcomed in the 1930s, as times were tough. Films helped to take your mind off the serious problems facing the nation.
William’s visits to schools were rewarding and he enjoyed seeing the children with smiles on their faces.
It was during this period he met a lovely young lady, Alice Hartzell. The family was well known in the township. The family members were Charles, Truman, P. Kenneth and Harry. The Hartzells also owned a thriving coal business in the township.
William married Alice on May 29, 1937, in Mauch Chunk, to-
day known as Jim Thorpe. Mr. Beck was showing films there at the Midway Theater.
Once married, Alice worked hard to support her husband.
An excellent Pennsylvania Dutch cook, she prepared food at Beck’s
theaters. Alice was known for her French fries and some patrons would just stop and purchase French fries on movie night. Next time we will be at the new Route 45 Drive-In.

105-year-old Pearl Eberts throws
Submitted by TY EBERTS
She did it again at 105! Pearl Eberts, a lifelong resident of the Bath area, threw the first pitch at the Aug. 23 IronPigs baseball game in celebration of her 105th birthday.
She got the ball to the catcher with three bounces. Afterwards, she blew kisses to the fans who recognized her from her previous birthday pitches.
Last Friday was Pearl’s fifth time throwing the opening pitch in celebration of her birthday. Previously, she pitched in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
When she was asked to go to the game by her family and friends, she replied, “Only if I can throw out the first pitch!"
Her family and friends gathered at the Tiki Terrace afterwards for her 105th birthday celebration.

City of Easton Awarded Grant to Improve Intersections
Submitted by TOM ANDREWS
State Rep. Robert Freeman announced the City of Easton was recently awarded more than $83,000 from PennDOT for a road improvement project.
The city will receive an $83,353 grant for intersection upgrades at Pearl and Bushkill streets.
“It’s always a benefit for drivers and pedestrians when roads are made safer, and Easton was lucky to earn these state dollars from the very competitive Multimodal Transportation Fund,” said Freeman, D-Northampton. “I would like to thank the governor and PennDOT for approving this grant for Easton.”
The grant was one of 66 projects funded in 32 counties across Pennsylvania totaling $51 million.
The program is intended to provide financial assistance to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies and ports and rail freight entities to improve transportation assets that enhance communities, pedestrian safety and transit revitalization.
Local Radio club Announces Free classes
Submitted by HEIDI BUTLER
The Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, Inc. will offer free classes this fall for people who
would like to obtain an amateur license. The class will run for 10 weeks and will prepare students to take the Federal Communications Commission’s amateur basic license examination.
Ham radio has played an important role in communications for more than 100 years and continues to do so. It is part of many emergency management plans because it can be used to communicate if landline telephone lines, cell towers and/or electric grids fail.
It also is a fun hobby for people who enjoy talking with amateur operators locally and around the world, participating in contests and field days, and even making contact with the International Space Station.
According to the American Radio Relay League, the nationally recognized organization for operators, there are more than 750,000 amateur license holders in the United States and more than 3 million worldwide.
Based in Bethlehem, the Delaware Lehigh Amateur Club (DLARC) has more than 100 members. It is a non-profit 501(C)(3) charitable organization. Classes are offered as a community service.
The next session will begin on Sept. 3. Classes will be held weekly on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Northampton County 911 Center.

Donation presented For county’s New Bloodmobile
Submitted by BRITTNEY WAYLEN
County Executive Lamont G. McClure and the Northampton County Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) presented a check donation on Monday, Aug. 26 for Northampton County’s sponsored bloodmobile.
Plans were unveiled at the Northampton County Economic Development Committee meeting on Thursday, June 6 for a new bloodmobile to be operated by Miller-Keystone Blood Center (MKBC). County Council approved a $250,000 grant to fund a bloodmobile that will be converted from a new school-busstyle vehicle and will feature four inside donor chairs.
This new partnership is designed to address the ongoing blood shortage by bringing donation opportunities directly to donors with a reliable, strong fleet. Blood drives play a crucial role in extending the reach of MKBC to individuals who wish to donate.

For many pet parents, losing a beloved pet is akin to losing a family member. For Bath resident Autumn Masonheimer, losing her “perfect dog” Logan was one of the hardest moments of her life.
“Telling him he could leave me was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,” she says, “but he held on with everything he had for me.”
Logan joined Masonheimer as a puppy and quickly became her best friend.
“He became my boy very quickly,” she says of Logan. “He would sleep with me and comfort me in my dark moments. I could walk him without holding the leash and he’d never leave my side.”
When Logan fell ill unexpectedly from an incurable brain tumor, Masonheimer did all she could to save him...frequent vet visits, medicine, x-rays and long nights by his side.
She recalls her last evening with him, holding him in her arms until 2 a.m.
“I gave him all the love he gave me and as we sat there I said to him, ‘…If you need to cross the Rainbow Bridge, you can…I love you more than anything and you are the best boy. You’ve done so much for me but it’s okay to go.”
Logan passed a few hours later.
“That dog saved me more times than I’d like to count,” says Masonheimer. “The best I want do is honor his memory.”
It was Logan’s love that inspired Masonheimer to reach out to Bath Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, Bath Councilman and Chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee Jim Lisiecki and Borough Manager Brad Flynn. What if all paw-rents had a place where they could remember and reflect on their own four-legged friends? Or sit near the Rainbow Bridge, share their memories and say a prayer?
It was an idea the team in the Bath Borough wanted to bring to life, and what better place to construct this Rainbow Bridge than at the borough’s popular Paw Park?
In June, Lisiecki, the Parks and Recreation Committee and the borough’s engineer met to put together a plan for the bridge.
The project will be constructed by Gage Landis from Troop 43 in Bath as part of his Eagle Scout project. Together, the team has brought a blueprint for Masonheimer’s idea to life.
The bridge will be a decora-
tive bridge where paw-rents will have the ability to pin pictures, collars or other remembrances. Construction will depend on the weather, but the project may be tentatively complete in spring 2025 with a community unveiling.
“I’m hoping the Rainbow Bridge can bring healing to the community and pet owners. Anyone that has ever owned a pet can tell you they aren’t just a pet, that they are family too,” said Masonheimer. “The Rainbow Bridge is a symbol of healing.”
As part of his Eagle Scout project, Landis will be collecting donations. Landis also plans to make further improvements to nearby Firefighters Field, including mulching and maintenance to benches and equipment. The borough has offered its council meetings as a forum for Landis to ask for borough and community support.
“I’d like to extend a sincere

thank you to Autumn for coming forward with her idea of the Rainbow Bridge for Paw Park,” said Mayor Mirabito. “I am also thankful to the Parks and Recreation Committee for making the decision to go ahead with this wonderful idea, and of course to Eagle Scout Gage Landis for working on this project.”
There are already plans for the bridge to evolve and grow with the community. The team has considered future efforts that would allow residents to donate in memory of their pets and place an engraved brick around the bridge.
“No doubt, it will be beautiful upon completion and I look forward to having an official ribbon cutting,” continued Mayor Mirabito.
Masonheimer’s beloved Logan is still making a difference from across the Rainbow Bridge, bringing a community together for a project sure to bring plenty of smiles. The community spirit is something Lisiecki, Mayor Mirabito and all involved have praised.
“We have a tremendous community [and] our community continues to grow, organically and with new families moving in,” said Lisiecki.
And as the Borough of Bath grows, its spirit only becomes stronger.
“We welcome all community involvement, whether it is at a council meeting or the committee level or as a volunteer,” said Lisiecki.
Said Mayor Mirabito, “We are blessed to have young people engaged with the community while making a positive impact.”
And for Masonheimer, she knows Logan is now part of a community too...a Rainbow Bridge community with other Bath Borough pets.
“Knowing my amazing boy has other friends to play with and isn’t alone makes it easier for me even though he’s not here anymore,” said Masonheimer.

in getting Chico, he was worried about Chico passing his first round of certifications. However, Chico passed with flying colors.
Admittedly, Officer Perry says he knew that becoming a handler would require a lot of work that would come with extra challenges such as balancing work and personal life, 16 hours of mandatory monthly training for the duo, daily obedience work and towel training with odor work, which is Chico’s favorite.
“It’s a lot of extra work to be a good, successful team, and I’m still learning how to be a handler every single day,” Officer Perry adds.
K-9 Chico weighs in at a whopping 75 pounds, eating six cups of food a day due to his strength and active lifestyle, and is certified in tracking, patrol, which includes bite work and obedience, and detecting the odors of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine, but he has also alerted to fentanyl and MDMA.
“He’s smarter than I am,” Officer Perry jokes.
Officer Perry also says that Chico is a completely different dog at home than he is on duty. Some of the things Chico loves include balls on strings, swimming and playing frisbee. Chico also protectively guards his home and family, and when he puts on his vest for work, he’s ready to go.
In terms of advice for others that
are thinking of becoming a handler or who belong to a police department with a K-9 unit, Officer Perry advises them to observe training and demonstrations, speak to other handlers, ask what they can do to help and even sign up for a K-9 medical course, which can help save a K-9’s life if their handler is
unable to administer medical attention at the moment.
“The most rewarding thing for me is the bond that I have with him because there’s nothing like having such a strong bond with a dog,” Officer Perry says proudly.

and Officer Roth for tracking or narcotics, finding people that are hiding, and hanging out with Dad while he does normal patrol duties. Although he is not specifically trained in detecting firearms, Cash has also alerted to them, which has led to firearm seizures.
Officer Roth explains that the whole back seat of his patrol vehicle is for Cash, and often, if Cash senses that something is going on, he will bark and shake the car, which can deter criminals. The vehicle is also equipped with a release button that opens the door for cash to come out, which Officer Roth also wears on his uniform, so when he presses the release button, Cash is trained to find him and get his command.
“We problem solve every day. He’s a great tool and he deescalates a lot of situations by simply being there,” Officer Roth adds. Additionally, Cash has all kinds of gear that he wears at work, which signals to him that he’s on duty. However, at home, Officer Roth notes that Cash is a completely different dog and doesn’t even bark. At home, he also loves his food that he gets from The Dining Dog and Friends, playing frisbee and being spoiled by his Grammy.

This award-winning initiative welcomed its 500th healthy community in 2023 and is now funded to deliver vital outdoor wellness programs to 1,000 healthy communities by 2026 to help get people moving outdoors and to fight the rising fiscal and humanitarian costs of physical inactivity.
This year, Upper Nazareth Township and dozens of other select recipients from around the country were awarded grant funding from the National Fitness Campaign to help support the program. In addition to NFC grant funding, local funding and major sponsorships from JVI, INC. and St. Luke's Health Network and donation from Martin Guitar contributed to make the project possible in Upper Nazareth Township.
The new fitness court, located at Leibert Park, 100 Newport Ave., Nazareth, is an outdoor gym that allows users to leverage their own body weight to get a complete workout using seven stations in just seven minutes. Created with
people aged 14 and over and with all abilities in mind, the workouts are adaptable for all fitness levels, allowing participants to move at their own pace. Users also may download the free Fitness Court App which acts as a coach-inyour-pocket and enhances the outdoor gym into a digitally supported wellness experience.
Opening day included fitness demonstrations, community support and giveaways from Upper Nazareth Police Department and Action Karate. Join in at the new fitness court to stay active, meet new people and be a part of a healthier community.

for every dog. Once a K-9 begins slowing down, the trainer and handler will have a conversation about retirement, but at almost 9 years old, Cash isn’t slowing down any time soon!
Officer Roth also points out that generally, the public doesn’t understand that K-9s are not vicious dogs, rather, they’re simply very well-trained dogs.
While on duty, residents should not approach or try to pet K-9s and their handlers because these can be perceived as threats since a K-9’s job is to protect their handler. However, there are certain times and situations that Officer Roth does permit people to pet Cash, such as when they visit schools.
Officer Roth notes that adults and children often see Cash as a superhero and recognize him while out and about.
“What’s funny is that when we walk through the school, all the kids know who Cash is, but they never remember the officer’s name,” Officer Roth jokes.
Officer Roth points out that being a handler is a lot of work, but what makes it so worth it is finding and getting drugs off the street because it’s saving lives.
Additionally, since most municipalities don’t have a line item in their budget for K-9s, police departments highly rely on donors and fundraising that help purchase the dogs and pay for training, health insurance, food, equipment and their gear.
Over the last 15 years, Paw Prints on the Canal has raised over $102,000, and every year, the organization selflessly donates all proceeds to the Northampton Bor-
ough Police Department K-9 Unit, which helps pay for Chico’s care. Next year, the 16th annual Paw Prints on the Canal event will be held on Sunday, June 8. More information can be found on the Paw Prints on the Canal Facebook page. Coming up, Lehigh Township Volunteer Fire Co. is hosting the First Annual Hero’s Fishing Derby on Saturday, Oct. 12 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with free bounce houses, a pig roast and a basket raffle at Blue Mountain Fish and Game Association to help raise funds for Cash’s care. More information can be found on the Lehigh Township Volunteer Fire Co. Facebook page. All in all, police K-9s are invaluable assets in the fight against crime and the maintenance of community safety.
