Moore Twsp. Board Of Supervisors Meeting
Angel gourd by Sue’s Favorite Things.
Christmas in Nazareth brings Spirit of Christmas To downtown
by CATHERINE STROH Despite the brisk weather on Saturday, Christmas in Nazareth’s second year was a success with plenty of shoppers and families participating in the day’s festivities. Patrons could stop and warm up with free hot chocolate and cookies, hot tomato soup and grilled cheese from food truck Gettin’ Cheesy, or get their spirit on with local beer sold
from Birthright Brewing and wine from local winery favorite Franklin Hill Vineyards. There was no shortage of things to do, between tricky trays, crafts, historic walking tours, candle dipping, elf makeovers, choir singings, shopping and ice carving in Nazareth Center Square.

By HANNA O’REILLY Residents of Carol Lane in Moore Township are outraged at the township’s decision to place a commercial “No Dumping” sign by their homes. These residents have been placing their leaves on a strip of grass across the street. “We thought we were doing the road crew a favor,” one of the residents explained. By placing all the leaves on the strip, the road crew would only have to make one stop. Unfortunately, that idea backfired when multiple individuals called the borough building to complain about the leaves being placed on the strip. The township took immediate action and put up the “No Dumping” sign. One of the residents angrily said, “We pay our taxes and we want that sign gone! Do you realize what this does to the value of our homes?” Another added, “Why
didn’t you just tell us to stop putting the leaves there?” They claim that they would have stopped if they were just told ahead of time. Daniel Piorkowski, chairman of the board of supervisors, apologized to the residents for the way the situation was handled and agreed they should have been informed. David Shaffer, vice chairman of the Board of Supervisors, compromised by suggesting the sign only be put in place during the fall season before the situation be reassessed. The residents were appreciative of the compromise and the situation was temporarily settled. Zoning Hearing Board member Jeffrey Ayers approached the board to explain his recent request for State Representatives Zach Mako and Marcia Hahn.

Nazareth Tree lighting Bath Museum Memories Ceremony (Originally published in 2007) It’s 3 p.m. and the Bath Museum is getting ready to close, but I’m still reading and examining the thousands of photographs and artifacts. Too bad our schools are not using this valuable community resource. Our students certainly lack an understanding of our local history and culture and I doubt things will change. Most people who supervise
our schools have no local roots. I found a trolley track from the old trolley line running from Bath to Nazareth. A caned wheel chair, Lehigh-New England Railroad photographs and a ballot from 1947. The candidates for judge of Common Pleas Northampton

Holy Family School’s gym floor Gets a new shine
Submitted by KRIS PORTER While everyone was away for the Thanksgiving break, the gymnasium floor at Holy family School was getting all shined up. “The new floor coating has been long overdue,” said Brian Horvath, president of the Holy Family Athletic Association. “The floor looks great,” said Eric Daly, the school physical

education teacher. He said the children thought it was slippery when they first saw it. “I did have to explain that it is not ice and it is not slippery,” he said. The last time the floor was sealed was in 2015, Horvath said. The work was done on Nov. 24 by R.B. Myers Co. LLC in Lawrence Township, New Jersey. They lightly sanded the floor, then applied a urethane finish that took three days to dry, he said. The company also repaired the floor in front of the old kitchen.

time in their schedule to do this work on our gym floor,” Horvath said. When he had contacted the company earlier, they were already booked through until the New Year, but they made a special exception to come in over the holiday break to do the
work. Horvath was also grateful to several Holy Family School parents who came out and helped him and the parishes’ maintenance men, Jeff Keenhold and Terry Robertson, move the cafeteria tables from under the bleachers into the new cafeteria.

Today we have a county council, seems there was less bickering with the commission system. Candidates were Norman Peil, John Hoffman, Arthur Riland, Ralph Merwarth and a Northampton boy, E.

Council candidates in Bath were Budd Sensenbach, Allen Abel, Carl Rehrig, Clair Spengler, Tony Wetzel and Herbert Metzger. Carl was elected as one councilman and served as councilman and secretary for 55 years. The only school board candidate was John Spanitz.

Ayers suggested to Mako and Hahn that there be a bill put in place prohibiting certain individuals from carrying weapons on the Moore Township Borough Building property. Ayers feels only those authorized should be allowed to carry. With his 10 years being a part of the Zoning Hearing Board, Ayers has run into numerous occasions where individuals have made threats and lashed out on the property- putting everybody in danger. Representatives of Mako and Hahn explained the legality of this will be looked into before any further action is taken. A $2200 check and proper paperwork is due before a survey and other project plans are com-
pleted with the Schiavone Property. A motion was made to make the payment and submit the paperwork in order to continue with the project. The Historical Commission is grateful for the 1800s crib donation made by the Beersville Hotel. They are looking for items to use in the Edelman Schoolhouse when the project is complete. The walls of the schoolhouse are scheduled to be plastered in January. The request to drop the speed limit on Rinker Road to 25 mph has been approved. Four speed limit signs will be put in place and Lehigh Township will be contacted to discuss dropping their portion of Rinker Road to 25 mph. The Recreational Center has been shut down and cleaned up for the season. Water is planned to be shut off soon.
The 2019 budget for Moore Township is ready and open to the public. There will be no tax increases for Moore Township. Township council members will meet on December 27 at 6 p.m. to pay any left over bills from 2018. For the month of November, the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company responded to 31 fire calls with 221 manhours recorded. Five were for fires, seven motor vehicle accidents, one fire police, four automatic fire alarms, two ambulance assistance, and eight mutual aid calls. They also responded to 48 ambulance calls with 192 manhours recorded. They participated in 245 man-hours of fire and ambulance training as well. The Planning Commission meeting scheduled for December 24 has been cancelled.

Home therapy plans Presented to Moore Twp. Zoning Hearing Board By HANNA O’REILLY Jude and Mayra Chartier of 760 Andres Rd. in Bath presented their plans for the therapy business they will be running out of their home to the Moore Township Zoning Hearing Board on Wednesday, Dec. 5. The board allowed the Chartier’s to run through their plans to ensure they are abiding by the rules and regulations of the township. This business will promote relaxation through reiki practices, meditation, and salt walls. Jude Chartier told the board no alterations would be done within the home for this business. The concern the Planning Commission
had in regards to customer parking was discussed. The Chartiers mentioned they would be able to control the traffic coming in and out of their driveway by way of appointment scheduling. Mayra does not need a license to practice her holistic business and has assured the Zoning Hearing Board the business is already registered with the state of Pennsylvania. The Chartiers were informed they would not be allowed to sell any products out of their home unless they were developed on the property. The Zoning Hearing Board and Solicitor Thomas Caffrey have granted the Chartiers special Continued on page 5

consideration for the home therapy business with two conditions: no more than two cars an hour with appointments and “halo” therapy is the only business that can be run out of this home. All other businesses are prohibited. Brian Collins of 2971 Pheasant Dr. in Northampton approached the Zoning Hearing Board about his plans to construct a new garage on his property. There is currently a 20x30 garage there that he plans to replace. The garage will not be located in the same exact “footprint” as the last one but would be fairly close. Collins wants the new garage to be farther away from Dannersville Road, which creates a greater front yard setback than the last garage. The question for the board was whether this project falls under “special consideration” or if a variance must be granted. Due to the foundation and footers of the garage being moved during the reconstruction process, the project requires a variance. Special
consideration was denied, and a variance was granted for the front yard setback. Aqua America Pennsylvania presented their plans to replace two water tanks at the Christian Springs and Evanwood Station properties. The current water tanks do not meet the updated property requirements and will need to increase in size. Evanwood requires an expansion to 15,000 gallons and Christian Springs to 20,000 gallons. The tanks will also be moved from belowground to above. Due to the dimensions needed for these tanks, the setback requirements of the township cannot be met. They requested a variance be granted for the side yard setbacks. A variance was granted for the setbacks. The Zoning Hearing Board said an 8 ft. high fence must be installed around the tanks at Evanwood and Christian Springs and any trees cut down during construction must be replanted by Aqua Pennsylvania. The next Zoning Hearing Board meeting will be held Wednesday, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m.

Rose Parade goes on out in California, a really beautiful event. . . .Even though T.P. doesn’t want me to mention the Eagles anymore, I just have to, after this past Sunday’s game at Dallas. The Eagles gave it their all in the last quarter and tied it twice. But in overtime, they lost out in the coin toss, and the Eagles’ defensive players were fatigued so much that Dallas got all the way to the goal line and Cooper caught the football as it flipped in the air, scoring the winning touchdown. What a heart breaker. We might have won earlier with a 2-point conversion. But that’s the way it goes. . . .Now, best wishes for Penn State as they take on Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl! I’ll be watching that game and a couple others on TV. . . . Hats off to all the kids in Northampton County’s 4-H groups! They do a lot that will help them in years to come and they deserve a lot of praise for their efforts, along with their leaders . . . .With all the developments that are being built around here, I’m glad to see that the condominiums up along North Walnut Street in Bath will be completed . . . .

Nine in 10 poisonings happen in the owner's home, and a shocking 5.5 million dog owners unknowingly feed their pets these harmful foods at Christmas. Vets Now have put together a helpful list of hazards all owners need to be aware of, to help you avoid any animal-related accidents this festive season: 1. Chocolate Chocolate contains a stimulant called theobromine, a bit like caffeine, which, while tasty, is severely poisonous to cats and dogs. 2. Mince Pies and Christmas Puddings All grapes, raisins, currants and sultanas are toxic to dogs; as are foods that contain them – which means no mince pies for your pooch, we're afraid. 3. Blue Cheese While delicious to us, blue cheese contains a substance called roquefortine C, which dogs are extremely sensitive to. 4. Tinsel While it might look like a lot of fun to play with, tinsel can cause dangerous blockages in an animal's stomach. 5. Macadamia nuts Often lurking in biscuits or eaten as a decadent Christmas snack, these nuts cause severe illness in dogs. 6. Garlic, chives and onion Found in many festive foods like gravy, stuffing and sausages, all Allium species are poisonous to dogs. 7. Snow Globes Imported versions can contain antifreeze – as little as one tablespoon can be fatal for a cat. 8. Candles They may create a cosy atmosphere, but candle flames can burn paws and the curious noses of furry friends. There's also risk of them falling over when brushed against. 9. Fairy Lights Cats are curious and will try to chew on anything, including fairy lights – which can burn and even electrocute them. 10. Alcohol Alcohol can cause severe liver and brain damage in animals. As little as a tablespoon can lead to problems for your cat or dog. Other hazards to be Aware of include: •Salt dough ornaments – the mix of flour and salt with water can cause a potentially fatal salt
toxicosis. •Christmas foliage like poinsettia, mistletoe and ivy– all of which are mildly toxic to both cats and dogs. •Wrapping paper – eating a large amount of paper could cause an obstruction in the stomach. •Lilies –those from the Lilium or Hemerocallis species are very dangerous for cats. Eating just
two or three leaves, or even drinking water from a vase containing them can be potentially fatal. If your pet has eaten anything potentially harmful, you should call your vet for advice. Many local vet practices choose to close over the Christmas period so it's essential you're aware of your local out-of-hours emergency vet.

One of the toys in NMIH’s cast iron toy exhibit. -Photo Glenn Koehler/NMIH
Submitted by GLENN KOEHLER The National Museum of Industrial History is hosting a special temporary exhibit focusing on cast iron toys this holiday season. The exhibit, which features exquisite artifacts from the personal collections of Pam and Charlie Dent and Stevie Weart focuses on the Dent Hardware Company, who produced toys in the Lehigh Valley from the late 1800s to 1973. The company cast its first toys in 1898 and quickly became one of the nation’s leading iron toy makers, enjoying continual growth and success for many years with a reputation for producing high-quality merchandise - both in hardware and toys. Running now through the end of January, the exhibit offers an interesting glimpse into an era before plastics took over the toy industry and changed the way kids play. Coinciding with the exhibit is a special “How It Works” presentation on Sunday, December 30 at 2 p.m. with NMIH Historian Mike Piersa on the process of casting toys. Created by skilled workers using a foundry method called sand casting, the toys became popular in the latter half of the 19th century as they used ingredients that were inexpensive at the time, similar to today’s plastic toys. This discussion will trace the process from furnace to finished product and will feature a live demonstration, using

Northampton Borough Council approves Preliminary budget By KERI LINDENMUTH During their Thursday, December 6 workshop meeting, the Northampton Borough Council approved the borough’s preliminary budget for 2019. The budget does not include a tax increase and provides for a
general fund of $6,311,320. The budget, which was planned by borough manager LeRoy Brobst and his staff, went through several iterations and council reviews before being approved. Members of council thanked
the borough staff for their work on the budget. “You were right in thanking the staff,” Brobst told them. “They keep me on the straight and narrow.” Among some of the costs planned for in the budget are costs for sewer and storm water improvements under MS4 regulations. A total of $1,465,000 has been allocated to the sewer authority for 2019. Currently, Gilmore & Associates is conducting an analysis of Dry Run Creek wetlands and surveying property lines in the hope to widen streams so wastewater treatments do not enter the Lehigh River. Come 2019, there will be similar MS4 projects the borough must pay for. The budget will be properly advertised for adoption. In other news: • Paul Pugielli of Brown & Brown of Lehigh Valley presented an insurance policy dividend check of $17,473.08 to the borough. “I do not remember giving out a larger dividend,” he said. Insurance dividends across Northampton County, he added, are high. “Going forward, we should continue to see some nice dividends.” • Police Chief Bryan Kadingo will be reviewing handicapped parking areas throughout the borough and make recommendations on signs that may no longer be necessary. While this is part of a borough ordinance, council wanted to approve it publicly so that the public is aware. • The Northampton Fire Department’s Santa Run will be held on December 15, starting at noon. Gifts for the run are being accepted at the Northampton Fire Department from Wednesday, December 12 until Friday, December 14, from 6 until 8 p.m. “The look on the kids’ faces when Santa comes off the truck is priceless,” said Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr.

Immanuel
Bryan Webb, missionary to Vanuatu, wrote of helping to start a church in the village of Maluicalua. Samson, the first graduate of Sanma Bible Training Center, would become the pastor of this new church in his home village. Bryan had the privilege of naming the church, Immanuel, and at the end of a week of services with student pastors, Bryan describes what took place: The final night was a moving service. Pastor Simon Kor, our presbyter, ministered but an air of sadness permeated the service. The people were concerned. One said, “You have come, you have let us taste the sweetness of the gospel, but now you are leaving us alone. We do not know how to worship God. We do not know how to read, so we cannot read the Bible. What will we do when you are gone?” Pastor Simon smiled and reminded them that Samson would be returning to serve as their pastor. Then he said, “Do you know the meaning of the name of your church? It means, ‘God I stap witem yumi’ [God with us].” A realization filled the room. Faces lifted. Spontaneously, the people broke into applause. The missionary was leaving, the presbyter was leaving, the students are leaving, but God was staying with them! These simple tribal people’s response to this truth, two thousand years old, but so new to them, moved me to tears. How often you and I have celebrated Christmas, enjoyed the feast and festivities, basked in the warmth of the love of friends and family, yet yawned our way through a pastor’s best efforts to remind us of the miracle of Immanuel, God with us. This Christmas, enjoy all the festivities to the fullest. Drink hot chocolate, play in the snow, go see the Christmas lights. Enjoy your family. Believe me, we would love to be with ours. Savor the sweets and all the good food. But most of all, join with the villagers of Maluicalua in celebrating this wonderful truth, God I stap witem yumi! [God with us!] --Adapted from the book Hungry Devils by Bryan Webb

Students eat their lunches in the new cafeteria at Holy Family School. The cafeteria is in the Parish Center, which was recently completed.
Holy Family School gets new Cafeteria
(12/13)
Submitted by KRIS PORTER For years, Holy Family School’s gymnasium has doubled as the school’s cafeteria. But that all changed when Holy Family Church built its new Parish Center. The Parish Center opened in November, and the students had their first lunches in the cafeteria on Nov. 27 after they returned from Thanksgiving break. “It’s really nice,” said fourth-grader Gina Favocci. Amid excited chatter, the school’s principal Christine Bruce cut the ribbon for the first lunch period to enter the new cafeteria. As the ribbon fell, the group of students, teachers and staff applauded.
Inside the new lunchroom, several students commented on how much they liked it and the sunlight streaming into the room. The cafeteria has large windows facing the school. “The new cafeteria is bright and colorful,” Bruce said. “And the new kitchen is state of the art.” “I really enjoyed how organized it was,” said eighthgrader Sophia Hahn. “We are very thankful that Father Tobias thought of us when he planned the Parish Center,” Bruce added. The Parish Center was a 40-year dream come to fruition, and several years in the planning. Ground was officially broken in Octo-
ber 2017. An enclosed corridor links the school to the new cafeteria, so the children do not have to worry about going out in the rain to get to lunch. “We plan to utilize the cafeteria for all things food related,” Bruce said. “This will save the newly-surfaced gym floor. The new gym floor has been brought back to its original shine.” Over Thanksgiving break, the parish’s Catholic Youth Organization worked hard to restore the gym floor. Although there are still a few things to add to the Parish Center, such as a service elevator for food deliveries, the new cafeteria is fully functional, Bruce said.

NAZARETH AREA
Nazareth tree lighting Ceremony By HANNA O’REILLY Thirty seven-degree weather wasn’t enough to keep Nazareth residents away from the beautiful tree lighting ceremony that took place at the circle of Main and Center Streets.
