Zoning approval granted for new business in Northampton

By KERI LINDENMUTH The Northampton Borough Zoning Hearing Board held its public meeting on Thursday, February 9, and reviewed several property appeals, including one appeal for an interesting business that would like to make its new home in the borough.

Thomas Stone, with his lawyer Nicholas Englesson, stood before the board and requested a use variance for a property on

the 1500 block of Main Street.

Stone, an optical engineer, and his wife, also an optical engineer, own Wavefront Research in Bethlehem. The business develops optical technologies supported by the United States Department of Defense, technologies that are pivotal to national security. Optical technologies include switching for fiber optic communications, optical interconnect for missile architecture, and

new camera technology that uses light pixelation to detect roadside bombs.

“It [the camera] has had a very big impact,” says Stone.

As the business has developed these new technologies in partnership with the Defense Department, it has outgrown its current location and is seeking a new one in the borough.

However, finding a new location has not been easy due to the

very specific requirements such a property must have in order to be conducive to this type of business. The building must be large, structurally sound, quiet, and not prone to vibration, which may damage the research and technologies the scientists are building.

“You cannot find this building in any old place,” Englesson told the board.

After much searching, Stone believes that the Main Street

property will be the ideal location.

Submitted by MAGGIE LIVELSBERGER On February 11, United Way of Pennsylvania and United Way supporters stood with Senator Patrick Browne (R-Lehigh) and Representative Stephen Bloom (R-Cumberland) to recognize the day as PA 2-1-1 Day. 2-1-1 is the free, confidential, 24-hour information and referral service that connects 85 percent of Pennsylvanians with all the health and human services available to help. In 2016, over 160,000 people turned to 2-1-1 in Pennsylvania for help.

“People reached out to 2-11 to find information on basic needs, like heating or utility assistance, eldercare, or to find the closest food bank,” said Kristen Rotz, United Way of Pennsylvania’s president. “But they also called for everyday information like where to take their child for developmental screening,

or how to locate job training or how to schedule free tax filing support through local services.”

“Today was about recognizing the help 2-1-1 can bring to the Commonwealth’s residents.

2-1-1 is a gateway to all kinds of help. By using this service, my constituents and other Pennsylvanians can get a holistic answer to their issue, rather than a haphazard response that may only lead them to additional challenges,” says Rep. Stephen Bloom.

2-1-1 information and referral specialists are trained to listen, assess the situation, ask the appropriate questions, and then refer the caller directly to the human services that will comprehensively address their needs. The 2-1-1 specialist also explains how to access those services, availing a translation service for over 170 different languages, if needed.

February 16-22, 2017 3

“I am pleased to see Pennsylvania join other states in providing this 2-1-1 service,” Senate Appropriations Chairman Pat Browne said. “The people who answer calls and texts to 2-1-1 have access to an extensive statewide database of public and private resources that allows them to help provide and connect our citizens with the services that can help them. As the Appropriations chair, I am very familiar with the financial struggles the Commonwealth is currently facing. However, I believe 2-1-1 is a smart investment that gives our residents a comprehensive resource to find the help they need by leveraging the right private sector resources that provide the best assistance our communities have to offer.”

Pennsylvania became a part of the national 2-1-1 program after it was launched by United Way in Atlanta over 20 years ago. The Continued on page 5

The museum also has a copy of the anonymous poem written in the 1800s about the Bath Hotel:

Three wise Customer Service tips Shopping weekends never leave me at a loss for a customer service story. I walked into a boutique store looking to talk with the owner. We know each other and I said, “Hello, is Pat here?”

Well it must have been a bad day because the look I got from the employee was not even close to welcoming. She rolled her eyes and snarled a bit and said, “Who are you and where are you from?” I told her my name and she said, “I’ll check to see if she’s here.” She turned to leave and I could see Pat in the back. When she came back she said, “She will be with you in a minute.” After that I started to shop a little.

Pat came out and was her usual friendly self, joking around and the employee changed her whole demeanor and began to laugh with us.

First tip - Dirty looks count, they are just hard to confirm.

Afterwards I hit a big department store. I stood in line to purchase something and an employee ran up to the desk, opened up what looked to be a schedule book and announced in a loud voice, “What a bunch of idiots!”

Everyone looked up at her in

Second tip - Self-control is a learned behavior - if you have none, get out of the customer service business.

I carried on to my next stop, the grocery store, to return an item. As I was waiting in line, all of a sudden the staff started calling people and asking questions. Clearly something happened. Yes, it sure did. A customer threw a package of frozen fish at the employee just because she didn’t like the answer she got. This gal just happened to be someone with impeccable customer service skills.

Third tip - Not all customers are kind and considerate - beware of frozen fish.

Carol A Step Inside the byBearBath Museum Heckman Ever wonder why there are three large old hotels in Bath?

It's because in the 1800s Bath was a resort town for people to escape the dirt and smog of the cities of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. Summertime in Bath brought parades, formal balls in the hotels, splashing in sparkling springs in cool glades and horse races at the track at the end of Sleepy Hollow Road.

Winter brought more dances in the hotels and sleigh rides.

The first, and perhaps most famous, hotel was the Bath Hotel. The current stone structure on the NW corner of the square was built in 1817. It was preceded by weatherboarded log structure on the NE corner built

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip It was plenty windy on Monday, but I didn’t hear of any trees or power lines down. Thank goodness for that! More than six inches of snow were predicted for the end of last week. Maybe it was in some places, more or less, but since then it has evaporated pretty much of it away. I don’t think it was the sun ‘cause it’s too cold.

So much for the weather report. . . . Hats off to the Northampton Area Konkrete Kids Educational Foundation for giving a middle school teacher $1,200 so she can have a program on the Holocaust that the kids can see up close and personal. Most likely none of them ever heard of the atrocities when German soldiers killed thousands and thousands of Jews during World War II, including men, women and children – burning them in ovens and torturing and killing all of the Jewish people that Hitler’s troops could find. The program will include some survivors of the Holocaust, and that will sink in even more than watching a movie about Anne Frank and the diary that she kept in Holland or seeing a demonstration. It will sadden some of our kids, but they can see and appreciate man’s inhumanity against man, and hope that it never happens again. . . .

Happy anniversary to Clark and Mary Ann Smith. I hope Clark is better after suffering from an illness for a while. . . . No doubt

Margie Rehrig is happy about the articles Carol Heckman is putting together about the Bath Museum.

There’s plenty for people to see that brings out some of Bath’s history. . . .Tuesday was Valentine’s Day, so I got something that Elmira could wear. She can use that for years. Got a couple dozen roses to go with it. But no candy.

When you get up in age like us, we hafta watch out for cholesterol and diabetes. I didn’t get any jewelry, ‘cause I gave her a really nice necklace for Christmas. . . .It’s another season on TV. Some of the shows are all right, but I’m not into so-called comedies and the fake applause. So I keep the remote handy, cutting out the TV we don’t want to see, and skipping the seven or eight commercials that are between scenes. . . .

Stay warm and have a good week.

Spring is on its way and will be here before you know it.

East Allen approves Conditional use for Toll Brothers community

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Following a recommendation from township planners, East Allen Township supervisors granted conditional use to Toll Brothers, Inc. on Feb. 8, approving plans for a 55-and-over community on the west side of Beth-Bath Pike.

Senior Project Manager Michael Dougherty said the proposed development will feature 232 residential units comprised

Over 35 Yrs. Experience

of 142 single-family homes, 54 triplexes and 36 duplexes.

The Board of Supervisors also approved a zoning amendment request that designates the 100acre tract as an age-qualified zoning district, as the current tax parcel is zoned for agricultural use.

The amendment creates an overlay for the purpose of the Toll Brothers project, but the existing district surrounding the developLicense # PA003267

ment will remain agricultural, according to the testimony. Toll Brothers’ counsel described the amendment, saying, “What’s before the board this evening is essentially a revised overlay amendment request with a different metes and bounds description with a tract consisting of 100.5 acres.”

Throughout the night’s testimony, Dougherty maintained that the property will have no adverse impact on the surrounding area.

He stated that the primary enforcement of age requirements will be handled by residents, owners, and homeowners associations, and that the borough will not have to play a role in enforcing those regulations and requirements.

Dougherty says following the sale of all the units, the homeowners association will be in charge of enforcing the age requirement.

He said the community does not exceed the maximum unitsper-growth acre requirement.

“We are actually proposing far less than what zoning would allow for.”

“It’s actually our intent to have 100 percent of the residents be 55 or over, we’re required to have at least 80 [percent] but on these developments we typically require 100 percent.”

Dougherty also said he believes that the proposed design and landscaping will provide substantial benefits to the township.

In addition to the 232 units, the development will also feature a community center, a swimming pool, two bocce ball courts, a pickleball court and a putting green.

Toll Brothers has been developing age-qualified communities for over 15 years with 26 operating, active adult communities in the United States, according to Dougherty’s testimony.

Shoprite delivers 600 gallons of milk to the Second Harvest Food Bank of the Lehigh Valley Submitted by LAURA PIETRAFESA On Wednesday, Feb. 8, ShopRite delivered 600 gallons of milk to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania, thanks to generous donations from the community.

ShopRite associates were also at the food bank as part of the company’s volunteer outreach initiative.

Through Feeding America, ShopRite joined the Second

Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast Pennsylvania in The Great American Milk Drive to deliver fresh, nutrientrich milk to local kids in need.

Throughout the month of October, customers at ShopRite of Stroudsburg were able to make a donation at checkout to help feed a child right here in our own community.

Childhood should be filled with playing, learning and growing. But for many children who

face hunger, even basic staples like milk are missing. More than 46 million Americans – including 12 million children – rely on Feeding America food banks each year. Milk is one of the most requested but least donated items at food banks, meaning children in need often miss out on the essential nutrients that milk supplies.

Hunger has no boundaries and is a problem that exists in urban, suburban and rural communities.

quiet place,” he said. “And the flipside is that we are quiet, too.”

Englesson, Stone, and real estate agent Robert McCann all agree that the business will have no negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood. There would be no off-street traffic, and, most importantly, no noise, no pollution and no radiation.

“There would not be any missiles onsite?” Chairman of the Zoning Hearing Board Jerome Kroboth joked. “Just wanted to clarify.”

With virtually no adverse effects on the area, the board unanimously granted Stone approval.

“Obviously, they perform a service that is very valuable,” said Englesson.

The Zoning Hearing Board also heard appeals for two other properties in the borough. Owners of both were also seeking variances for proposed businesses.

Brian Rider was seeking a variance in order to re-establish a property located on the 1400 block of Newport Avenue as an automotive service station. The building was last occupied in June 2014 and Rider would like to bring it back to use as a repair and improvement shop.

There would be “no painting,” “no air compressors,” and “no pressure washers,” said Rider. The business would have little noise, as all work would be done inside.

In addition, Rider testified that no cars would be “sitting there

waiting to be worked on,” which was a problem when the property was last in use.

After hearing his case, the board granted Rider’s appeal. It also granted an appeal for Munhel Makhoul, a partner at MGMJ Holding Company, which would like to use a property on the 1400 block of Washington Avenue as a Gummy Bears Learning Center daycare.

Nancy Moreno, who has run the Allentown location of Gummy Bears Learning Center for ten years, said that less than 70 children will use the daycare, with a majority of them there before and after school. Temporary parking will be available for parents during pick-up and drop-off times.

A daycare, said Makhoul’s lawyer Ron Corckery, would be “less objectionable” and “a lot better than a social club,” which is what the location’s previous owner Abe Atiyeh wanted to use the property for.

With appeals granted for the daycare, automotive shop, and optical engineering lab, it was a busy night for the Zoning Hearing Board. Residents of Northampton are reminded that they are invited to attend these public meetings in order to voice their questions and learn about the changes happening in the borough.

Now through February 28, 2017

I was sixteen when I passed my driver’s test and for graduation, Daddy bought my 1952 Green Chevy Convertible. I was very inexperienced at driving but thought I could handle it. I was delighted to drive my girlfriend’s to the movies, parties and to the pool. I thought I was hot stuff, driving around town with the top down, hair blowing in the breeze with a gang of girls in the car. After having my license only three weeks, I decided to drive to Fort Dix, NJ to see my boyfriend.

He was leaving for Germany the following week and he asked me to bring two girlfriends along as dates for two of his buddies.

I asked Nancy and Ruth to go along on this excursion; my first trip out of town.

We left on a Sunday morning and arrived at camp about noon. We had no trouble finding our way and soon located my boyfriend and his two buddies.

Nancy immediately went for the tall one and Ruth was matched up with the short guy. The girls got along well with the two soldiers and they went their own way while me and my date talked about the future and what we planned to do when he got out of the service.

Before we left home, my mother warned me to start back early.

She said, “you know you have to get up early for work tomorrow morning, so don’t wait too long to start your trip back.” Yeah yeah… Needless to say, we all got involved in saying goodbye and the time slipped away. It was 10 p.m. and we were still at the camp. Oh, I am going to hear it when I get home, I thought. We filled the car with gas and headed for home. Ruth didn’t feel good so she soon feel asleep in the back

seat. Nancy was trying to act as navigator but it was dark and the road signs were difficult to see.

We were doing okay until we got into one of those six point circles.

Wow, I couldn’t get out of the circle. I took each road leading out of the circle until I saw some familiar landmarks and finally the last one was the right road leading to Easton.

Well, after delivering Nancy and Ruth to their respective homes, I arrived home at 2 a.m.

My mother was wild. She immediately took me into her laundry (the room farthermost from the bedroom where my daddy as asleep) because she didn’t want him to know what time I arrived home. She proceeded to chew me out for arriving home so last and especially since I had to be up early to go to work.

I finally got to bed around 3 a.m. and I remember feeling like a zombie the next day. I learned my lesson from that experience: leave early and arrive home early and you won’t get chewed out.

Are All Saved?

In his book, The Reason Why, Robert Laidlaw states, “On the basis of the greatness of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, some have suggested that if Christ died for all, we must all be saved. But God does not say so. He says there is salvation for all, not that all are saved.

Here is an illustration. Unemployment is rife in one of our great cities with many in dire need. The municipal authorities provide free meals. You meet a poor fellow on the street who says he is starving.

Naturally you ask if he does not believe the notices that are up all over the city, that there is enough food for all provided free. ‘Yes,’ he replies, ‘I believe that is true in a general sort of way, but I am still hungry.’ You tell him that he is likely to remain hungry in spite of the provisions unless he eats personally of what is provided for all.

Just so, although the death of Christ provides salvation for whosoever will, only those are saved who personally accept Christ and believe that He died in their place. I must take Christ as my Savior, or His death will avail me nothing--just as a man could die of thirst beside a spring of water if he refused to make its life-giving stream his own by drinking of it for himself.”

Jesus Christ beckons to all, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly (innermost being) shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:37-38). One of the very last verses in the Bible says, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” (Revelation 22:17). Will you respond? Will you receive Jesus into your heart as your Savior and ask Him to forgive you of your sins? Will you do it now?
