Nazareth School Board Clarifies health and Safety plan options by JOE KORBA Nazareth Superintendent, Dr. Dennis Riker, clarified some of the changes being made to the district’s health and safety plan at the February 8 meeting of the Nazareth Area School Board. A vote passed at the last board meeting to remove a mask mandate in the schools, excluding district buses and the nurse’s suite. Masks are now encouraged and recommended, but not mandated. There will be no changes to social distancing indoors, hand sanitation is available and encouraged and classrooms will still be cleaned and sanitized regularly. According to Riker, a survey of parents in the district revealed that 60 to 70 percent of respondents were in favor of the changes to the health and safety plan. Around 90 percent of respondents said that vaccines should be optional, as reflected by the district’s policy: vaccines will not
be required, proof of vaccination will not be asked for and the district will not offer vaccination clinics. If families need assistance finding a vaccination site, school nurses will provide that information. The new plan calls for the cafeteria to return to a pre-covid normal. Riker also presented two options for a policy in place of contract tracing. Option A requires reporting positive cases to the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH) and a five-day quarantine for household close contacts, a five-day quarantine for someone with symptoms awaiting test results and a fiveday conditional quarantine for positive cases. A person who has tested positive may return after five days if asymptomatic and a face covering is recommended. Option B requires reporting to Continued on page 3
Public hearing between Allen Flood announces State grants for local Township and Willowbrook Farms Emergency responders Scheduled for February 22 Submitted by JORDAN GARRETT Fifteen fire and emergency medical services (EMS) companies in the 138th Legislative District were awarded more than $178,000 in funding support through the 2021-22 Pennsylvania Fire Company and Emergency Medical Service Grant Program, Rep. Ann Flood (RNorthampton) announced last week. “These hard-working and dedicated volunteers answer the call whenever an emergency strikes in our communities, and we are grateful for their service,” said Flood. “I am pleased so many organizations in our area continue to apply for this state assistance, which helps to offset their costs at a time when fundraising has proven to be difficult.” Following is a list of fire and
EMS organizations in the 138th Legislative District that received grants and the amount of the awards: • Bath Volunteer Firefighters and Ambulance Corps Inc. – $13,165. • Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company Inc. – $15,000. • Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company Inc. (EMS) – $8,325. • Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company – $15,000. • Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company (EMS) – $8,325. • East Allen Township Fire Department – $10,000. • East Allen Township Volunteer Ambulance Corps – $8,325. • Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Company – $15,000.

By KERI LINDENMUTH A public hearing between Allen Township and Willowbrook Farms will be held on February 22 at 7 p.m. This hearing comes after the township’s planning commission recommended two draft ordinances to resolve zoning challenges filed by Willowbrook Farms in May 2019. In 2019, Willowbrook Farms and the Fuller Family Trust requested a curative amendment to allow the developers to build low-density properties for multifamily use across 80 acres, along with 55 acres of 55-and-older properties. The entire plan called for 800 units, including duplexes, townhomes, and three-story apartment buildings. At the time, Allen Township supervisors worried about the density of the area and the safety of the three-story buildings.
Gene Clater, a former member of the township’s planning commission for over 40 years, spoke before the township’s board of supervisors during their February 8 meeting. He asked that supervisors consider where the Willowbrook Road bridge falls into the new agreement with developers. When the current warehouses along Willowbrook Road were still in development, Clater said the former board decided against a three-lane bridge. However, an increase in traffic from the Willowbrook Farms development will make an improvement necessary. “What is being done to ensure that traffic [from the apartments] does not become a problem with that bridge?” he asked. He recommended the board add expanding the bridge as a condition for developers.
“Look at that bridge when you have a developer on the hook,” he said. “You know this [traffic] is coming.” Truck traffic issues were also discussed during the February 8 meeting. The township has reached out to the state regarding dump truck traffic on Kreidersville and Seemsville Roads. They have also requested law enforcement. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said the dump trucks typically become a seasonal issue as Continued on page 11

Moore Township Lehigh Valley Fence Co • 610.837.7007 Leaf Collection Program
TED’S ROOFING The Moore Township leaf collection program will begin on or about the week of October 26th and will continue for the next eight weeks (depending on conditions). Actual collection will commence when a sufficient amount of leaves have fallen to warrant dispatching the collection equipment.
With the continuing increase in volume of leaves it has become impossible to guarantee a specific pick-up day for any one location. There will be multiple trips through neighborhoods for the duration of the collection program; therefore, if the leaves are not in place when the crew goes by, they will be picked up on the next rotation. This schedule is subject to inclement weather, mechanical breakdowns, and Township Emergencies making it necessary to temporarily delay pick-up. THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES MUST BE FOLLOWED 1. Leaves cannot be collected on private roads. 2. LEAVES ONLY shall be raked to the edge of the roadway. 3. Leaf piles shall be kept off the roadways. 4. Leaf piles must be free of sticks and other foreign materials. THE PUBLIC WORKS CREW MAY REFUSE TO PICK-UP ANY LEAF PILE IF INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL IS FOUND WITHIN THE PILE OR IF THE ABOVE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED. Moore Township residents are welcome to bring leaves and brush to the Brush and Leaf Recycling Area located to the east side of the Public Works Building Monday through Saturday during daylight hours.

Tip 6: Visually Increase Your Home's Square Footage The size of your home dramatically affects the value, but square footage isn't the only space that counts. Visual space or how large a home feels also counts. The key is to make each room in your house feel larger. Replace heavy closed draperies with vertical blinds or shutters to let light in — a sunny room feels larger and more open. Also, try adding a single large mirror to a room to License # visually double the space. PA003267 Finally, clear the clutter.

area rugs stained or worn? Nothing turns buyers off more than the thought that they will immediately need to replace all of the flooring in a home. Ideally, you may want to replace them all, but if a limited budget puts a snag in that plan, start by replacing the carpet in the room that shows the most wear and tear and replace the others as your finances allow. Tip 10: Add New EnergyEfficient Fixtures A functional, decorative ceiling fan is a beautiful thing. It provides necessary light and, in warm months, creates a soft breeze reducing the need for expensive air conditioning. But, an outdated, wobbly, loud or broken ceiling fan is a useless eyesore. Replace old fixtures with new ones to make your home more enjoyable for you now and to increase the bottom line should you decide to sell.
Tip 7: Small Bathroom Updates Equal a Big Return Bathroom updates are always a smart move. Even if you can't afford a full remodel, small changes such as replacing dated wallpaper with a faux or textured finish and replacing old lighting will update the room without denting your wallet. Tip 8: Any Kitchen Update Equals Added Value The same rule applies in the kitchen. You don't have to start from scratch to create a winning recipe. For maximizing your home's value, kitchen updates are key. Start by swapping out just one item, such as a stained sink or ancient microwave for shiny new stainless models. Even small kitchen updates will add big value by Pete to your home. G. Ossip Tip 9: Replace Worn Carpets or Rugs I hope everyone had a happy Take a look at your home's soft Valentine's Day!

BATH AREA East Allen BOS discuss Township Line Road By CHRISTINA SANTO The East Allen Township Board of Supervisors met on February 9 to discuss Township Line Road, as well as applying for a LSA gaming share grant with Moore Township. Between a train hitting a trailer and heavy rains causing flooding on Route 512, everyone was taking detours onto Township Line Road earlier this month. Both sides of the road got damaged, but East Allen and Lower Nazareth received the brunt of it. The road is currently open, preferably for local traffic. Temporary repairs have begun and a meeting has been set up with East Allen, Lower Nazareth, and Hanover townships to
discuss more permanent repairs. Township Manager Brent Green said this will shift road funds, and discussed reaching out to the state for multimodal funding. Moore Township Manager Nicholas Steiner asked if East Allen would be interested in applying for an LSA gaming share grant with the intent of purchasing a paver and trailer to share. East Allen currently doesn’t own one and relies on neighboring communities when necessary. Areas of discussion with this motion included storage, joint use of the equipment, and maintenance costs. Moore has space in their garage for both pieces of equipment. The board talked over creating a
memorandum of understanding with Moore regarding joint use and equal payment of maintenance if and when the townships receive the grant. In other business, the board recognized two Eagle Scouts for their work in successfully completing their projects and achieving the Eagle Scout rank. The supervisors approved two motions declaring Dec. 16, 2022 George Pavis day, and Sept. 16, 2022 Zachary Naradko day. Both scouts are residents of the township. Pavis installed grills at Bicentennial Park’s Pavilion C, while Naradko worked with the Han-Le-Co Fire Company to replace stabilization cribbing on their rescue truck. The board will meet next on March 9 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, located at 5344 Nor-Bath Blvd.

It was a cold winter night. The fierce wind blew through the bare branches of the scarlet oak trees as the last car pulled into the driveway of the house at 428 Adelaide Drive. The doorbell finished ringing as the last two guests walked through the black door, took off their boots in the foyer, and then, joking about the cold, waited while their hosts, John and Millie, hung their thick bulky coats in the hall closet. Walking past the dining room, the couple glanced to the place where they would share a meal with good friends. They made their way to the living room, filled with antiques, high back Queen Anne chairs, and shelves of thick and thin books. They sipped hot coffee while waiting to hear the words “dinner is served.” Soon Millie beckoned them
into the dining room. As the four guests found their places, they looked at the table set with beautiful china plates, polished silverware, crystal glasses filled with water, and English teacups. One guest thought it odd the teacups did not match. The table looked exquisite, making the mismatched cups and saucers stand out like a sore thumb. Soon the guests, enjoying a seven-course meal, waited while the host poured coffee into each chipped, mismatched cup sitting on top of a saucer. Next the host cut each guest a slice of creamy cheesecake with homemade chocolate raspberry sauce drizzling down the sides, creating little puddles on the odd-looking plate, each one topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. There was laughter and conversation about the new cars they would buy, the fancy vacations they would take, the expensive new restaurant owned by a famous star, and the new, bigger, better house being built. The second guest, with long blond hair and cherry-red nail polish, complimented the host on the delicious meal and the beauty of the room. She asked if the host would share her recipes, and then, without missing a beat, she asked what the others were secretly wondering— she inquired about the teacups and saucers. The fourth guest smiled, and as they all waited for an answer, she thought to her-
self, “If these cups were mine, they would be in the trash.” John’s eyes glanced at Millie, his loving wife of 52 years. He was silent as he looked around the table at each guest. Then he reached out and picked up his cracked teacup. John breathed in deeply and then started a story that he had shared many times at this very table. John explained that his father, who had lived through the Depression, had cherished this cup and saucer. He continued sharing how his hardworking father had lost just about everything, including most of his possessions. He told his guests that his father was a proud but humble man who’d found work picking apples and then cleaned stalls at a local farm just to earn a dollar or two—sometimes not even that. At the end of each long and tiring day, his father would sit at the dark-brown oval table, eat a meager meal, and often drink warm water, saving the weak coffee for his wife. The teacup represented the hardships John’s father had endured. He held up his cup and said to his guests, “Each time I take a sip, loving memories run through my mind of a father who never lost hope. A father who was grateful for the little things in his life. Part two will be continued in the March 3 issue of The Home News.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Lehigh Township PD seeks additional Police vehicles, accreditation
By SHERRY MARCHEFSKY At their February 8 meeting, the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors discussed police fleet management. The fleet currently has five vehicles, down from eight this past year. Of those vehicles, two are sedans, one is an SUV, one is a pickup truck for special details, and the other is a K9 Unit vehicle. Two separate police car incidents, one last September and one this past January, crippled the force’s fleet. Police Chief Scott Fogel presented information, seeking the immediate purchase of a new Ford SUV police vehicle for the cost of $43,880 from Whitmoyer Auto Group in Mount Joy. In addition to this purchase, a request for trying to obtain one of two additional vehicles via a bidding system was addressed. A motion was passed to authorize the purchase of the Ford as well as bid on a used police vehicle SUV up to $15,000. The second vehicle in question, a non-up fitted sedan, will be discussed at the next meeting as to the maximum bid for purchase based on the success of bidding on the first vehicle. The Lehigh Township Police Department is seeking accreditation from The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. On February 1 and 2, the police force did an
accreditation assessment. This included review of the force’s policies, equipment, vehicles and the overall station. The accreditation will be decided in mid-March. Chief Fogel stated they are “doing things the best way possible.” “It is something the township should be proud of as well as the department,” said Chief Fogel. Twelve percent of police agencies are accredited in the United States. With that accreditation came policy recommendations and Resolution 2022-7 came into motion. It addressed changes in the police manual’s summary arrest powers to be made under certain circumstances. Under this new resolution, police have the right to make arrests without warrant in summary violations, such as disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and disturbing the peace. There is a 100% fundraiser for Cash, the 5-year-old Belgian Malinois of the Lehigh Township K-9 Unit at www.emmalovesk9s. com. On the website you can purchase a plush stuffed Cash for $25. Cash is funded solely by fundraisers and donations. In planning, extensions of time were granted to seven companies. All of their plans were set to expire at the end of the month. Those companies include: J&T

Enterprises Land Development, Northwoods Land Development, Obenski Land Development, Tim Pitts Subdivision, Donald and Judy Latshaw Minor Subdivision, Hafner Revocable Living Trust and Top of the Mountain Estates Major Subdivision. Extensions were all approved, and go as far out as June of this year. Other news covered during the meeting was the addressing of truck traffic on Walnut Drive. Law enforcement is giving the area more attention, and also monitoring truck inspections. The 2022 Fire Officers were called out and recognized for their great service to the community. The township is applying for grants to help fix/replace the maintenance building. In zoning, the month showed slow on permits and complaints and high on zoning appeals. Finally, the office of public works is focusing on its annual hiring for this coming summer season. The township will hire multiple individuals primarily to cut grass and help with landscaping. The position will be from April 15 through October 15. The pay starts at $11/hour for new hires. Additional pay will be given to those seeking a return to this position from previous seasons. A motion was granted to start the advertising for this employment. The next scheduled township meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 22 at 7 p.m.

Submitted by SAMANTHA DIX In a community setting, relationships are everything. Time is most often spent together for those who live and work here. "The residents are the highlight of my day. They are really fun to be around. They make me laugh when they tell me their stories," Olivia Millheim, a server at Traditions of Hanover, said. Having a courteous, respectful, and attentive staff helps ease residents' minds and makes the day more enjoyable. "Everyone who works and lives here is full of heartfelt love and gratitude," Shirley DeSantis said. She has been a resident of Traditions of Hanover for six years. Since Valentine's Day was just recently, the management team at Traditions of Hanover proposed a light-hearted activity for both residents and servers to participate in the form of a writing challenge. The question was simple: Why do you love living or working here? Residents reviewed the servers' responses, and in turn, the servers read the residents' responses. The entries were many, but the replies that stood out came from Millheim and DeSantis. Each received a $50 gift card.
"Why do I love living at Traditions of Hanover? Just remember the three G's! Generosity of spirit! Everyone who works here is so kind and generous with their time. They have become my friends. Gatherings—big and small—they make every day feel warm and special! I love happy hours and book club. Giggles. The smiles, riddles and jokes, and hugs keep me positive," DeSantis recited from her essay. When work can become mundane, it's nice to share company with those who appreciate it. "The residents tell me that I am doing a good job, which makes me feel good. I love when I see them smiling, laughing, and interacting. My coworkers are also really helpful, and I enjoy working with them. Traditions of Hanover has been a great first job experience for me," Millheim said.

Bloomsburg University Students complete internships Submitted by TOM McGUIRE More than 500 students from Bloomsburg University recently completed academic internships. A for-credit, academic internship must meet certain requirements set by academic departments and includes a formal agreement between the university and the internship site. Students work with a site supervisor and faculty advisor throughout the internship, gaining hands-on learning and practical experience for their future career. "Career experiences such as internships are a fantastic way for students to apply what they've learned in class, experience career fields first-hand, and/or coursecorrect career paths they may not like," explained Wren Fritsky, Director for Career and Professional Development. "Some companies hire exclusively from their intern pool, so it greatly increases a student's chance of finding a career fit right after graduation." Megan Beck from Nazareth completed an internship with Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce. Nicholas Lessig from Bath completed an internship with the Lehigh Township Police Department. Kayla Marsh from Bath completed an internship with the County of Northampton. Amin Jaawani from Nazareth completed an internship with Pandora. Kayleigh Vo from Nazareth completed an internship with Greater Valley YMCA, Bethlehem Branch.

they bring coal ash down from the coal region. However, because both roads are state roads, the township must get PennDOT’s involvement. Clater, who lives near these routes, said he hears the trucks breaking through all hours of the night. Because jake breaks are prohibited on these roads, he said PennDOT may finally agree to collaborate with the township and evaluate truck traffic issues. Finally, the township continues to move ahead with its Joint Act 537 plan with Northampton Borough. Following a meeting between council members, engineers, borough officials, and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Northampton will be upgrading its sewer plant to provide for capacity from Allen Township. Allen Township is still in discussion with neighboring Catasauqua Borough to determine whether they can hook up to their sewer plant for additional capacity for future EDU needs, including EDUs for the future Willowbrook Farms development. The draft Act 537 plan is due to the DEP by March 3. The final plan must be adopted by the board by May 20. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on Tuesday, February 22 at 7 p.m.
