Indian Trail Park- part two

By ED PANY Today I return to the old Indian Trail Park in Pennsville; the year is 1947. My father had just purchased his first post-war automobile, a 1947 Plymouth.

We drove to the park on a sunny summer Sunday to enjoy the day.

Back in the Revolutionary War era, an old gristmill, which ground wheat, oats and corn, was

still on site but no longer in operation. Community groups attempted to preserve the old mill but their efforts were unsuccessful.

The carousel was a crowd favorite. The horses and animals were all hand-carved and extremely valuable. The music and brass rings were quite an attraction.

There was also a small coaster and

miniature train on the grounds.

An old building served as a penny arcade. Multiple slot machines enticed the youngsters to play; they were games of entertainment, not casino slots.

Some machines measured your hand strength and reflexes. If you wanted something more challenging, there were nickel games and pinball machines. The room

echoed with bells and sounds to the enjoyment of all.

On Wednesday nights and weekends the park stage featured various music groups. Country and Western music was especially popular during the post-war era.

I recall a number of local groups, Willard Hockman of Northamp-

Wal-Mart developers go over site Plan for Lehigh Township

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Developers involved with the planned construction of a Wal-Mart supercenter in Lehigh Township once again came before the township’s Planning Commission Monday night to discuss changes to the property’s site plan, in accordance with suggestions from Township Engineer Phil Malitsch.

As long as the plans fall in line with conditions under permitted use requirements, the Wal-Mart supercenter will be located at

Route 145 and Birch Drive.

John Hornick of Bohler Engineering said the developers are still working through the technical review process, but have made changes from their original plans regarding issues such as stormwater management, traffic and pedestrian safety.

Hornick said sidewalks will be added along Birch Drive and the frontage of the property, with crosswalks additionally being implemented at intersections near the supercenter. Hornick

said these additions must comply with regulations set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hornick also said that a bus stop may be in the works for the Wal-Mart. Vice Chairwoman Cynthia Miller said she would prefer to have the bus stop be within Wal-Mart’s property to avoid congestion or other traffic issues on the surrounding roads.

In October, Miller strongly advocated for trucks to be restricted from using Birch Drive, and Miller made it clear that she

hopes that buses will not use the road either.

“I’d rather have a bus stop in the development, rather than on 145,” Miller said. “My recommendation is that buses don’t use Birch, either.”

Additionally, a sound study is currently underway and ongoing, and will be submitted to the township upon completion.

ton was known as “Fiddling Zeke” of the Broadway Buck-A-Roos.

Zeke was an employee of the old Northampton Sanitary Dairy.

Another group came from Lehigh County, Earl Keller and the Melody Rangers and we can’t forget Jolly Joe Timmer of Polka fame.

Many churches, clubs, unions and companies rented the park for the day, making swimming and the rides free to everyone. My friend Larry Oberly recalled when the old Allen Township Booster Club gave township children a day at the park. Club members Harold Heberling, Richard Undercoffer and George Jacoby were very active with the group.

The club was a fixture for over 20 years.

It was wholesome entertainment for everyone. In 1949 the park was sold to Leroy Kahle and Thomas Long. The duo continued operation until 1972 when it was sold again. The park sadly declined, swallowed by mega amusement parks. Lehigh Township purchased the park in 1978 for $72,000, giving the township a valuable asset.

The last park operators were Saullo Amusements, who leased the historic park from the township. They brought in new rides and built a miniature golf course.

The final chapter was from 198184. They did their utmost to

continue the park with rides and renovations, but to no success.

The park presently is home to the Lehigh Historical Society and the grounds still host various activities during the year.

When I drive past the old park, I can still see the carousel, hear the music and see the milling crowds’ cherished memories from the past.

More or Less If I were to ask you what is one thing you could use more of and also one thing you could use less of, what would they be? I suspect such a question would get varied responses based upon our current circumstances. At this point in my life I could use more discernment and less television. There are, of course others, but at this moment that’s what I am going with. How about you?

In preparation for this week’s Natural Perspectives™ article, I have been asking this to people who I take care of over the last few weeks. Some answers have been amusing and some downright gut wrenching. The following are some responses: less illness, more health, less anxiety, more happiness, greater peace and contentment and less worry.

Of course, we also had “the

Some just “wished.” Wished they had more muscle or less weight hanging around the waist.

Another simply looked at me in astonishment and said she didn’t know. I had to prompt her further saying, “If I could wave a magic wand what would you want more of and less of?” She simply said, “I have everything I need and nothing I don’t.” Oh, how many of us seek a place like this!

Thinking about more or less, I am reminded about the passage in scripture, Proverbs 30:8-9.

“Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?’ or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God” So very true.

Once you have a firm idea of what you would like more of and less of, what do we do with it? I, for one, cancelled my cable

more money, less bills” and “more cleanliness from my kids and less back talk.” Not to be left out is more vacation and less hours at work. Another one was “more time to myself and less time taking care of the yard.” More sleep was perhaps the biggest response.

Less stress was also repeated often. Continued on page 5

Are you Mentally Strong?

I recently read an article on mental toughness and it was fascinating to say the least. It was titled, “13 Things Mentally Tough People Don’t Do” by Amy Morin.

It begins with the fact that they don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves. Instead they express gratitude, “indulging in self-pity hinders living a full life.” The key is to affirm the good in the world and learn to appreciate what you have. (Morin) 1. If you are a small business owner, self-pity, “poor me” and lack of gratitude will resonate with your employees and, worse yet, resonate with your customers. Stay focused on gratitude.

Another one that popped out at me was that, “They Don’t Fear Taking Calculated Risks.” Instead, they prepare. I had a friend who used to say, “Practice Makes Permanent, not Perfect.” The questions to answer are, “what will it cost, how will it benefit the business, what is the worse thing that could happen and will this risk matter in three to five years?”

(Morin) 2. The most successful businesses in the world take risks.

There’s a new book out by Steve Harvey called, JUMP -Take the Leap of Faith to Achieve Your Life of Abundance. Whether you leap or jump, prep is always a good idea.

And then there is my favorite, “They Don’t Make Mistakes Over

And Over Again.” It's important to study what went wrong, what you could have done better and how to do it differently next time. Mentally strong people accept responsibility for their mistakes. (Morin).

3. Successful business owners have the ability to look in the mirror and say, “I made a mistake,” followed by, “I’m sorry.”

What is amazing about those sincere, simple words is that it ends this mistake and, hopefully, allows you to move on and not repeat it.

During this holiday season, focusing on gratitude, taking a risk once in a while and understanding the process of recovering from a mistake, can and will be life-changing. Try it, you will like it!

Wal-Mart

also revealed findings from the traffic study that was conducted.

The site plan submitted to the township featured nine intersections in the surrounding area and their traffic count during the peak hours. Wichner said developers will use this information, as well as growth factors supplied by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, to plan for increases in traffic.

Board members and residents alike have continually shown concern over the particular number of vehicles that the Wal-Mart will attract, as well as its effect on traffic on the surrounding roads.

Wichner said the current number of vehicles during the peak time period in an average day amounted to about 700 vehicles.

Wichner said the traffic study features an estimation of traffic five years into the future. He said in 2024, five years after the WalMart’s anticipated opening, the estimated traffic would be about 800 vehicles on Route 145 during the worst peak hour, with the WalMart having about 280 vehicles entering and exiting during that one hour time span. Wichner said

ultimately the township could see a 20-25 percent increase in traffic during that peak time period, with about a dozen tractor trailers visiting the supercenter a day.

Wichner also said the study accounted for very little cross traffic between the gas station and WalMart customers, taking into account the traffic for each of them separately.

While most of the questions were reserved for members of the Planning Commission, residents asked about the future of the rural character of of the township, as well as the effects the Wal-Mart will have on local businesses.

Chairman David Shulman said the township has little power over those factors, as permitted use dictates that development will proceed as long as it meets requirements.

Currently, there is no timetable for when construction on the property will begin, but developers hope to have the Wal-Mart completed by 2019.

subscription. It met with mutiny around our home. After the dust settled we all agreed that clearly this was one of the best decisions made this year. Yes, the family still does have access to shows and whatnot through the internet. However, our home is just so much more peaceful without all that back noise. I can hear myself think!

As far as discernment, that’s a work in progress. I suspect all aspects of personal growth usually are. Truth be told, we all have more than one area that needs less or more. It’s not at all easy as it appears as the mark is ever moving, ever changing. With this said ,you need to start somewhere.

A fantastic place to start is less soda, more water. More exercise, less laziness. Less smoking, more knitting. More forgiving and less grudges. More vegetables, less bread. See the point? As Mark Twain once said, “Apparently, there isn’t anything that cannot happen today.” More or less, I think he was right! My best to you.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Two weeks in a row we got a one-inch dusting of snow. But we’ll take it, not like up in Buffalo and other parts of the U.S., where they’ve been pounded with drifts and huge amounts of snow that plowing can’t keep up with it.

But the weather folks are predicting sub-zero weather for later this week. Winter arrives officially on the morning of Wednesday, December 21. So bundle up, put more wood on the fire in your fireplace or stove, and we’ll get through it. Let those snowbirds from around here enjoy their Florida sunshine. I think we made out like bandits last year. . . .I was happy to see that Darrin Heckman and his wife Carol Bear-Heckman were honored publicly last week for all they’ve been doing for years to preserve history in Bath. There wouldn’t be a historic district in Bath without all the work they’ve put into their 200+ years-old home and down along Chestnut Street. It’s great when young people, and I consider them young in heart, have such an interest in history, and have stirred others to take up the same enthusiasm. Also given awards by Her Honor Fi and State House member Marcia were the Caiazzo’s for saving the former Bath Hotel from the fire that damaged it so much, and making it into a special place to eat and drink, the Red Wolf Bar & Grille. . . .The Roger Unangst’s and the owners of Brookside Farms nearby are busy as bees selling Christmas trees on their properties along 512, and Larry Kemmerer, Filchner’s, and others up in Moore and Lehigh Townships the same story. I prefer the smell of the tree needles from a live tree over an artificial tree anytime. . . .

Speaking of real trees, I think the Bath Lions Club volunteers did the best decorating job ever down

at Monocacy Creek Park. It’s perfect day or night! They were led by prez Melissa Grube and hubby Kyle. . . .Congratulations to David Landis and all the people who volunteered to take part in the 38th Annual Live Christmas Pageant down in Bethlehem’s Rose Garden on Saturday and Sunday afternoon! It was another wonderful performance telling in living form the story about the Baby Jesus’ birth . . . .Post offices are working overtime to get all the Christmas cards and packages in the mail. . . .A lotta kids will be happy in Bath, Moore Township, Nazareth and Northampton for all the gifts that will be brought to their door-steps by area volunteer fire companies. They all do a great job, and deserve a pat on the back for the extra thrill the kids get out of it – smiles a mile wide, no doubt! . . . .Next Thursday is the annual Christmas paper. Look for all the greetings the local businesses have, even some of the things the staff does as they enjoy the task of bringing news to all the hundreds of Home News readers every week in the year. I’ll say it now, “MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!”

At a smaller machine, girls known as keypunchers sat and keypunched the information onto small cards the size of the business envelope.

For eight hours, these girls sat at the machine, which punched tiny holes in these cards. Then they had to stack them into a cardholder to be run through this large machine, which printed reams and reams of paper containing the data that had been keypunched on the cards. You would also find one of these cards in your electric and telephone bill. They contained the information about your account and had to be returned with your payment.

The mispunched/error cards were saved and during the holidays, we would reuse the cards to make Christmas wreaths. By folding the end of the card inward and stapling the ends together, we would create a funnel.

These funnels were then attached to a cardboard circle and sprayed with green paint. They were decorated with artificial greens and holly with a big red bow. These wreaths later showed up at craft shows and bazaars.

The computer or PC as it is now called, has come a long, long way since the days of the keypunched cards and the noisy hum of the big equipment. Not only can we email our friends and family, we can maintain our checkbook, our daily schedule, find our ancestors and get information on any subject known to mankind. We can Mapquest any destination we desire to find or locate a lost relative.

This phenomenon should have lessened the paper trail. Not so much in my house. I find many cute poems and funny stories that I print out to send to my friends who do not have their own PC. Thus I have more papers on my desk than before getting a computer. Each new invention brings its own problems, but I wouldn’t trade my computer now that we have been introduced to each other.

Home Improvement Keep Safety In Mind When Using Your Snow Thrower (NAPSI)—When snowflakes pile up, knowing how to use your snow thrower safely is an important responsibility.

“A snow thrower is indispensable during the winter for home and business owners,” said Kris Kiser, the president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute. “But remember, never put your hand in the auger or chute of a snow thrower to clear a blockage. You should always use

a clean-out tool to remove snow or debris that gets stuck in your snow thrower.”

Kiser offers 10 tips to help you operate snow removal equipment safely:

ways ahead of a storm.

Heavy snowfall can hide objects that could clog the chute or damage your equipment. When snow is forecast, clear the area of doormats, sleds, boards, wires Look over the owner’s man- and other debris before flakes ual.

And remember, it is illegal to use any fuel containing more than 10 percent ethanol in any outdoor power equipment, including snow throwers, unless specified for that equipment.

Store and use fuel properly. Always store fuel in autho-

rized containers. Avoid spills by using containers with spouts.

Fill up the fuel tank outside and before you start the engine and while the engine is cold. Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.

The Candy Cane

A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness of his faith. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. He chose white to symbolize the absolute purity of Christ Who was without sin (1 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21). He made the candy hard to symbolize that Christ is the foundation of the Church— The Solid Rock.

The candy maker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the name of Jesus, Who came to earth as our Savior as the angel told Joseph, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). The form also represents the staff of the Good Shepherd with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray (Matthew 18:12; John 10:11).

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received, and by which we are healed (Isaiah 55:5; 1 Peter 2:24). The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life (Matthew 26:28).

The candy cane has become a traditional Christmas decoration—let’s not forget its meaning.

Allen Township adopts 2017 budget; no raise in Property taxes

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Allen Township supervisors moved to accept their proposed 2017 budget on Thursday, Dec. 8 at their first Board of Supervisors meeting of the month.

The approval of the budget confirmed that Allen Township residents will see no increases in their property taxes, as the real estate tax rate remains the same from the previous year.

The budget, which was approved after a motion from Vice Chairman Dale Hassler, set the township’s millage rate at an unchanged rate of five mills.

Township Manager Ilene Eckhart also revealed at the meeting that there will be no lane closures on Willowbrook Road like originally planned to allow for maintenance of a fiber-optic cable.

According to Eckhart, Alston Construction spoke with Verizon to temporarily relocate the Verizon line while the original line is torn out and fixed properly starting on Wednesday, Dec. 14.

The township put out the following notice for residents to

expect delays during that time, “Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 14 Utility Crews will be working in the area from West Bullshead Road to the Township Line. There may be delays due to crossings and the mobilization of construction equipment. Watch for flaggers during this activity and obey all posted signage restrictions.”

In other business, Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell drafted an ordinance that would ban and prevent parking on sidewalks within the township. The ordinance would be formally enforced by the state police, who would levy fines against violators who park on sidewalks.

The township’s code enforcer would be able to give warnings to violators, but would not be able to issue fines or punishments.

Alfred Pierce moved to advertise the ordinance, which will likely be approved at a future meeting.

Governor Wolf Contributes to Pennsylvania Hunger relief submitted by JANE CLEMENTS-SMITH Governor Tom Wolf has again committed to giving back to Pennsylvania communities in lieu of attending Pennsylvania Society this weekend.

Governor Wolf will contribute $10,000 each to three of Feeding Pennsylvania’s food banks: the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank, and Philabundance. The governor will also give the gift of time by volunteering in Central Pennsylvania this week.

The Wolf Administration has made addressing food insecurity a priority since Gov. Wolf signed an executive order in 2015 establishing the Governor’s Food Security Partnership. The partnership is a collaborative effort among the state’s Departments of Aging, Agriculture, Community and Economic Development, Education, Health, and Human Services with goals and initiatives to fight hunger, including strengthening

the valuable work of organizations such as Feeding Pennsylvania and its food banks.

Feeding Pennsylvania Executive Director Jane ClementsSmith said, “Feeding Pennsylvania thanks Governor Wolf for his ongoing dedication to addressing the issue of hunger across the Commonwealth. As Feeding America food banks, our members are held to the highest standards of getting fresh, nutritious food to those who need it most, and these generous contributions will certainly contribute to that mission.”

Those at the three food banks also expressed their appreciation for Governor Wolf ’s efforts.

Central Pennsylvania Food Bank Executive Director Joe Arthur said, “We are thankful that Governor Wolf once again has chosen to support our Pennsylvania neighbors struggling with hunger, particularly at this time of great need”.

“Philabundance is grateful to Governor Wolf and his administration for his donation in support of the 750,000 hungry people in our region,” said Glenn Bergman, Executive Director of Philabundance. “This donation will enable us to help address the hunger crisis in our area which impacts 1 in 5 people this holiday season and year round.”

“On behalf of the individuals and families we serve, we sincerely thank Governor Tom Wolf for his donation. For the one in seven individuals in our area affected by food insecurity, this support means the difference between choosing between utilities and rent or food. With his gift we are able to provide 50,000 meals to our neighbors in need. His support is crucial to meeting the basic human need of all our neighbors—food," said Lisa Scales, president and CEO, Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

1.8 million people in Pennsylvania live in food-insecure households, meaning they do not always have access to adequate food for an active, healthy life. These households may sometimes go hungry or may have to make difficult decisions between paying for food or other necessities, such as utilities or healthcare expenses. The three aforementioned food banks,
