By KERI LINDENMUTH The biggest issue at the July 25 Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting was one not on the agenda. During public comments, Eugene Clater, Chairman of the Planning Commission, presented plans for the future Jaindl warehouse complex at Howertown and Seemsville Roads. Clater asked for the supervisors’ thoughts on how the plan would impact traffic. He explained that roughly 25 percent of employees, representing about 625 trips per day, would be coming to the complex from the north, travelling down Howertown Road, turning onto Route 329, and entering the complex from Seemsville Road. Clater feared that many of these drivers, in order to save time and get around traffic lights at the Howertown Road intersection, would travel to the complex from nearby Mud Lane. He believes this will ultimately triple the amount of traffic the road currently sees. Clater asked whether supervisors would support another road being added to the complex, one that would serve as an entrance and exit from Howertown Road. A traffic signal would be installed at this “T” intersection. No trucks would be allowed. Clater feels that this plan may alleviate traffic issues at other intersections in the area, intersections that were planned when warehouses were not even considered a possibility.

“Just because it [the intersection] made sense in 1788, does not mean it makes sense now,” Clater said. All members of the Board of Supervisors agreed with Clater and will require that a road be added to the plan. However, traffic is not the only concern surrounding the future warehouse. Township resident and environmental scientist and planner Robert Hosking Jr. asked supervisors about plans for moving a powerline on the Jaindl property closer to a residential property.

Hosking explained his concerns over the “economic, visual, and health” impacts of moving this powerline, which will require wooded wetlands to be cut down. He asked supervisors whether they can look for alternative options. “I think the township should be more defensive of existing residents,” he said. Following the meeting, Hosking explained that he believes supervisors are only concerned with how the township can simply get more development. Instead, he would like supervisors to “invesContinued on page 2

Lehigh supervisors move closer To amending fireworks ordinance By JUSTIN SWEITZER Supervisors in Lehigh Township discussed conditions in a new draft ordinance that would set restrictions on firework displays within the township at their July 25 meeting, following complaints from residents about disturbances from fireworks in the township. Solicitor David Backenstoe presented supervisors with modifications to the township’s current restrictions on firework displays. He described the ordinance change as an attempt to “further regulate” when and how fireworks are shot off in the township. Under the new amendment, firework displays would have to conclude by 10 p.m. Exceptions will be made for holidays such as the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve. Fourth of July Fireworks must be concluded by 11 p.m., according to Backenstoe. New Year’s Eve fireworks must commence by 1 a.m., he said. The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors will also consider exceptions for local residents and businesses, which will conclude at a time agreed upon by the board. “Obviously, we’re making room for special exceptions here,” said Supervisors Chairman Darryl Snover. Backenstoe also revealed that firework displays will be limited

to a certain amount of time. If approved, firework displays in the township will be limited to a half hour in duration. “The firework display should not exceed 30 minutes,” he read from the draft ordinance. Keith Hantz, a supervisor on the board, said township Police Chief Scott Fogel noted that enforcing the length of displays would be challenging for the police force. Backenstoe noted that digital recordings provided by citizens could help police enforce violations of the new time restriction. Also likely to be included are recommendations brought forward by a township resident. Backenstoe said that it was requested that any applicant seeking to be approved for a fireworks display name the Pennsylvania state-licensed operator on the application, and require that the state-licensed operator will be present during the display. “I personally don’t have a problem with it. It seems to make really good sense to me,” Backenstoe said. “My only caveat was… I went and researched the state law, and the state law does not really authorize that.” Backenstoe continued that because state law only requires a “competent person” to be available during a display, there is a chance the township’s more stringent regulations could be

overridden. “The state statute says that a ‘competent person’ must be available,” he said. “I guess if the board feels that strongly about it I’m going to tell you to put in the licensed operator and if somebody wants to fight about it they can file a lawsuit against the township and try to get that removed. It makes sense to have a licensed operator.” Backenstoe also said he would be okay with a state-licensed corporation sending a company representative who may not be personally licensed to operate fireworks. “If ABC corporation is a licensed operator for fireworks and they send Dave Backenstoe, who is one of their competent people, then he’s under the auspices of that license,” Backenstoe said, using a hypothetical example. Backenstoe said he would take

the draft ordinance and resident suggestions and present a final draft ordinance for supervisors to consider for a vote at their next meeting on August 8 at 7 p.m.

Hopes and Dreams

I just returned from a family vacation and every year we talk about buying a house and living at the beach and becoming a landlord and winning the lottery. However, we’re just dreaming. Then, we come down to earth and think about where we want to vacation next year, what reservations we will make, who will come with us and what games we will play on the boardwalk. Then, my thoughts lead me

to my business and your business and how to discern hopes and dreams. Someone just said to me in an interview, “This proposal doesn’t include ‘SMART’ goals.” My response was, “The plan will.” “SMART” goals are Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant and Timely. Goals are different than hopes and dreams. Everything begins with hopes and dreams and, at some point, it transforms into goals, plans and performance.

Vertek receives three waivers For East Allen warehouse Development By JUSTIN SWEITZER Vertek Construction Management was back before the East Allen Board of Supervisors on Thursday, July 27 as company representatives sought three waivers from township supervisors as they move closer to the final planning stages of their 450,000 square foot warehouse project located at the intersection of Route 329 and Airport Road. The board granted Vertek three waivers, which primarily related to stormwater basins and the discharge of stormwater. Their appearance in East Allen comes just two weeks after presenting the board with traffic improvements that would accompany their proposed 450,000 square foot warehouse. The first waiver was to grant approval for Vertek to exceed township restrictions in the construction of their detention basins and their one bioretention area. The township currently only allows for detention basins that are two feet deep for two-year and 10-year storms, and three feet for a 100-year storm, but Vertek planned to have detention basins that would exceed those limits. Benjamin Serrecchia, an en-

gineer for Vertek, said all of the detention basins would have split-rail fences with wire mesh around them. The fences serve to protect the basins from intrusion since they would be in excess of township requirements. The fences, according to Vertek, were suggested by the township due to the excessive basin depths that Vertek was proposing. “They’re offering the fences as part of the board’s consideration of that waiver,” Township Engineer James Milot said. The second waiver granted to Vertek pertained to the slope of the aforementioned detention basins. Township restrictions require stormwater basins to have a minimum slope of a half percent, but Vertek sought to have a flat bottom to their stormwater basins to both ‘promote infiltration’ and adhere to current Department of Environmental Protection trends. Milot noted that the flat basins are “basically mandated by DEP” as a standard practice at the current time. The final waiver granted to the construction management company was to allow Vertek to have

a pipe within 50 feet downstream of off-site property or drainage easements. The waiver was granted after Vertek representatives maintained that there would be minimal flow exiting the pipe, and that moving the pipe within 50 feet of the property line would eliminate the need for Vertek to construct a significant retaining wall on the outside of the nearby berm. Serrechia and other Vertek representatives also signed a draft motion for preliminary land development conditional approval. In other business, the public hearing of the board to consider The Rockefeller Group’s request for rezoning of their airport property will be held on August 16 at 7 p.m. in the Northampton Area High School auditorium.

Senator Scavello To host Naloxone Presentation with PA Department of Health, August 8 Submitted by TAYLOR MUNOZ On Tuesday, August 8 from 10 until 11:30 a.m., State Senator Mario Scavello will host an educational presentation with the PA Department of Health at his Northampton County district office (2 N. Robinson Avenue, Pen Argyl) about the use of naloxone, one of the primary medications used to reverse a potentially fatal opioid overdose. This free presentation is designed to help adults learn how naloxone is being used to save lives and to equip individuals with knowledge and resources to help friends and loved ones who struggle with addiction. The increased use of heroin, which often has roots in the abuse of prescription painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin, has catapulted Pennsylvania to seventh in the nation for drugrelated overdose deaths in recent federal statistics. On average at least ten Pennsylvanians die every day from a drug overdose, with over 3,500 overdose deaths in Pennsylvania in 2015. According to a National Survey of Primary Care Physicians,

nine out of 10 doctors reported prescription drug abuse as a moderate to large problem in their communities, and 85 percent believed that prescription drugs are overused in clinical practice. “We have taken many strides to address the continued opioid epidemic in the Commonwealth, from new prescribing guidelines for physicians to increased access to addiction rehabilitation,” said Senator Scavello. “As we continue to battle the opioid crisis, this informational presentation is a critical part of educating ourselves on the life-saving benefits of Naloxone. No one is immune to the effects of addiction and I encourage my constituents to attend this presentation.” Attendees are asked to RSVP for this free presentation, as space is limited. Call 610-863-1200 to reserve a seat. State Senator Mario Scavello represents the 40th Senatorial District, which includes portions of Monroe and Northampton Counties.

Bath Kirche By Elias W. Spengler, Esq.

The ancestors of John Vogel emigrated in 1731, owned land in Bucks County and later lived in Lehigh County. As owner of much of the land on which Bath now stands, John Vogel was one of the founders of the borough. We saw his connections with the hotels. He also built the stone gristmill and creamery, which stood at Race and Mill Streets, until destroyed by fire. Out of his large farm came the original land for the school, church and burial ground. On April 18, 1821, John Vogel, Esquire, and wife conveyed one acre of land at Main and Church (now Washington) Streets, to the Trustees of Bath School, the same known as the “Bath Schoolhouse Lot.” Apparently, a school building may already have been erected thereon. The school Trustees,

in 1856, conveyed the land to the School Directors, the Free Public School Law then being in effect. The School Directors conveyed the Southwest quarter acre of this land to the Elders of Bath Church in 1857, and the wellknown “Bath Kirche” (pictured) was erected here. It was the customary Union Church, occupied by the Lutheran and German Reformed Congregations, until 1876, when the “church edifice” was conveyed to the Knights of Pythias. The Deed recites that the two congregations “have separated bought lots and established several houses of worship.” The Knights of Pythias conveyed “all that certain late church edifice, now Castle Hall” to Ara-

vesta Schweitzer, who in 1889 conveyed Trustees of Castle Hall Association, and the latter, conveyed to Bath Castle Hall No. 200 Knights of the Golden Eagle in 1912. Apparently a later Deed to the School District was never recorded. They said Aravesta Schweitzer also conveyed the land on which the Nellie Rohr house now stands (as pictured above). Jacob Vogel also conveyed (1858) to the Elders of Bath Church one-acre South of Main Street to be known by the name of “the Bath Church Grave Yard,” and which the two congregations still own and maintain. Many well-known Bathites lie buried here, including Governor Wolf ’s brother, Philip.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip I was pleased to see how many people were in the 5K race. It seems to that running is popular and great exercise. . . Most every family has a dog and these days most everybody has these phone cameras, so there should be plenty of pet pictures in the paper in a couple of weeks. . . Garry Hunsicker and his buddies cooked up a really good ham and string bean dinner Saturday night. . . Certain guy around here believes in patronizing advertisers and is doing more than his share in LVHN. The pretty nurses make it worthwhile. . . My sympathies to the family of Bud Cole. He was thoroughly involved in his work in the outdoors and was well respected by his friends at the Pa. Oudoor Writers Association. . . Got a chuckle out of those trolley pictures a couple weeks ago. Shows a trolley on the one side of the road with another trolley on the other side. It was always the joke getting off one trolley and getting on the other to Nazareth as old Pete would yell out “Bethlehem, Bass and Nazares, don’t forget your packages” in a Pa. Dutch accent, of course. . . . Phillies are enjoying playing the Braves before they take on some tough games on the road. They played some really good ball. . . Was Rev. J. R. ever surprised on Sunday! Jill told him they were going to Reeders for dinner or something and landed in the Northampton Community Center parking lot. Turns out it was a surprise retirement dinner and 339 people showed up! See how we love you, Jay? Once he got there he was socializing with everybody. The Bishop and all your congregation at St. John’s over the 36 years, love you, well at least the people!!! .. . Phew, I need a cool drink. . . it must be 90 degrees outside. Gotta turn the Phillies on, even if they don’t win today, they won the series. See ya!

The Bargain Book by Charles McIlhaney Jr.

I bought a book at a yardsale. My treasure from another man’s trash. A varied collection of musings, as is, fifty cents cash. I didn’t mind dog-eared pages, or the cover faded and worn. But, I was disappointed to find, from the book, some pages were torn. I wonder what bits of wisdom or insight was inspired from the pages, once intact, when the book was newly acquired. Perhaps, the answer to the “meaning of life,” or the remedy to peace on Earth, or what mysterious force is pulling apart the universe. The solution to a question of late, or enlightenment on an enigma of yore, any of which, I would have gladly paid at least fifty cents more.

of Uncle Remus, Uncle Wiggley and Jack & Kill. We spent hours practicing long division at the blackboard and diagraming sentences. We learned the times tables and other basics which would help us in our vocations later in life. We spent sixth and seventh grades studying for the “county exam” which was necessary in order to graduate into high school in Nazareth. We studied artists, history and math to ourselves for the “exam” which was required before entering the ninth grade. So we took notes and notes on many subjects to prepare ourselves. After finishing the seventh grade, we were told that we would go on to eighth grade in middle school and did not have to take the county exam. We were happy about that but all those notes were for naught. At recess time, we went to the basement of the school and learned to dance the Polka and the Waltz. We played “Jacks” on the back steps and used the facilities at the far end of the playground. There were no indoor bathrooms at that time.

ould an ancient Jewish linen cloth be the actual burial shroud of Jesus? Could the Shroud of Turin be a document of the crucifixion? Is that even possible? Or is it nothing more than a medieval hoax? The 14-foot-long Shroud of Turin is the most analyzed artifact in the world yet remains a mystery, bearing the faint front and back image of a 5'10" bearded, crucified man with apparent wounds and bloodstains that match the crucifixion account as recorded in the bible. Millions of people over the centuries have believed it be the actual burial shroud of Jesus. National Geographic called it "One of the most perplexing enigmas of modern times." Shroud Encounter is a fast moving, big-screen experience using over 200 images covering all aspects of Shroud research. Russ Breault has been researching and lecturing on The Shroud of Turin for over 30 years. He has presented to numerous college and universities including Duke and Johns Hopkins, and has appeared in several nationally televised documentaries on CBS and The History Channel.

sire for a certain thing to happen. Five hopes 1. I want to own a business. 2. I will create a marketing plan. 3. I will have a fabulous product. 4. I will commit to extreme customer service. 5. I will have a secret weapon (provide a product or service no one else provides). Webster says dreams are a vision voluntarily indulged in while awake sometimes matched with your imagination. Five dreams 1. I will make millions in my business. 2. I will own the business, the building and the town. 3. I will become a successful mogul. 4. I will be able to be a noted philanthropist. 5. I will retire at 35, wealthy and happy. Dreams can become a reality but not without hard work and lots of luck. Hopes seem far more realistic with a hint of “SMART.” Don’t stop dreaming and I’m personally hoping your business grows annually, you contribute to society, and you are very happy living your dream.

Ladder To Heaven?

A man dreamed he built a ladder to heaven by good works. When he did a good deed, the ladder went up a few feet. When he did a very good deed, his ladder went higher. When he gave away large sums of money to the poor, it went up further still. By and by it went out of sight; and as years rolled on, it went up, he thought, past the clouds, clear into heaven. When he died he thought he would step off his ladder into heaven, but he heard a voice roll out from paradise: “He that climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.” Down he came, ladder and all, and he awoke! He realized that he could not get to heaven by good deeds (John 10:1-9), and he took The Only Way – Jesus Christ! See www.naog.ws/theway.htm The Bible is clear in teaching us that we cannot be saved by our own efforts and deeds. Isaiah 64:6 states, “All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” Salvation is entirely a divine work. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works” (Ephesians 2:8, 9). “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5). The only sacrifice God honors is that of His Son Jesus on the cross. The jailer in Philippi asked, “What must I do to be saved?” Paul replied, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:30-31). The Bible says, “As many as received him (Jesus), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Jesus is at the door of your heart now saying, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). Will you believe on Jesus and receive Him into your heart--now? Print/view this column in large print at: www.NAOG.ws/pc
