Northampton Borough explores Possibility of stormwater fee By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Thursday, February 18, Northampton Borough Council asked Councilman Robert McHale to explore the benefits and costs of a stormwater fee for all borough property owners. The fee was proposed by McHale as a means of paying for MS4 improvement costs without needing to raise taxes.
“There are certainly areas we have to explore further,” McHale told council. However, he said the main advantage is that “once the fees have been collected for the appropriate amount of work... that fee structure is reduced.” One of the improvements McHale cited is the Dry Run Creek MS4 project, which will cost the borough roughly
$400,000 when it begins later this year. McHale said a fee could help cover these costs. When the project completes, the fee structure would change to cover whatever the next improvement project is. The fee, he added, would be applied to all entities in the borough, including those that do not Continued on page 7
By LARRY OBERLY and ED PANY In this fourth column the Cement News reported on the development of the flu in October and November. November showed no changes in conditions for our town. Reports of the epidemic were continuous, but some doctors only reported very serious cases. Some seemed to credit pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses such as heavy colds rather than the flu. This made it hard to reach a trustworthy report on this disease. There were reports of entire families with mild cases, but the number of cases had not decreased. Under this Board of Health, physicians and other authorities come into considerable blame for allowing this or refusing that…keeping the schools open and the hotels closed. There were reports of children going to school where the influenza had attacked one or more members of the family. But this was hardly true where a doctor had reported a case and the Health Officer had a placard on the door of the home. (When a case was reported the Health Department would order the inhabitants quarantined and designated that for all to see with a placard on the front
door. To remove the placard out of embarrassment or any other reason was a criminal offense. It could only be removed by the Board of Health or doctor.) If the doctor did not rule illness a case of the influenza, he could not say that the child had to stay home from school. By October 25, 37 deaths had occurred in Northampton. Of those, 22 deaths were from pneumonia and all but four of them were foreigners (a name given to many who had emigrated from Eastern Europe to work in our cement mills between 1895 and 1910). Four days later the death toll had risen to 51, and 88 families were under quarantine. Two weeks later the quarantine was adjusted by the Board of Health; the hotels, breweries, and wholesale liquor dealers were allowed to open for business. The Cement News reported that all this made it “Monkey-do” in Northampton. Next time we look at Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1918.

St. Luke's Administers 100,000th COVID-19 Vaccination Submitted by SAM KENNEDY As the leading COVID vaccinator in central-eastern Pennsylvania, St. Luke's University Health Network is proud to announce that it has administered its 100,000th vaccination. Currently the Network is vaccinating 3,000 people a day at 11 hospital-based sites across the greater Lehigh Valley. This approach makes getting the vaccine safe for anyone who experiences an adverse reaction since each hospital is equipped with a fully-functional emergency department. St. Luke's vaccination program, which runs seven days a week, has helped to make Lehigh and Northampton counties among the top four most vaccinated Pennsylvania counties with populations over 100,000. (Northampton County – 19 percent of the 18+ population; Lehigh County – 18 percent.) "The speed of this vaccine getting out is the result of tremendous coordination," U.S. Representative Susan Wild (D-PA) said Friday afternoon during a news conference at St. Luke's Anderson Campus in Bethlehem Township. Continued on page 3
St. Luke’s
Continued from page 2
Wild spoke of the importance of outreach to underserved communities and lauded St. Luke's special vaccine clinic at Hispanic Center of the Lehigh Valley in South Bethlehem. Bilingual St. Luke's nurses and nursing students are administering the vaccine at the Hispanic Center on Feb. 19 and 20. "We look at this vaccine as our best shot," St. Luke's infectious disease specialist Dr. Kara Mascitti said at the news conference. Mascitti noted that the rates of COVID-19 infection and hospitalization across the region have declined significantly in recent weeks – trends she said she views with "cautious optimism." Also speaking at the news conference, Colleen Sprissler, MSN, RN, Senior Director of Network Operations, described St. Luke's innovative efforts to vaccinate underserved communities, including seniors through St. Luke's new "Shot-Line." The "Shot-Line" is an automated scheduling system that allows individuals to self-schedule their appointments over the phone. Existing St. Luke's patients who have yet to be vaccinated and are eligible according to Pennsylvania Department of Health guidelines will receive a call on the phone number they listed on their St. Luke's patient records. During the call from 1-866-
785-8537, an automated voice recording will ask if they would like to receive the vaccine. If they answer yes, they will undergo a COVID-19 eligibility check, and, if successful, will be given three appointment dates and times at the vaccine site nearest to the location on their record. They can then select the appointment time that is best for them by pushing that option number and be scheduled within three to four minutes.
Red Cross calls For healthy Blood donors Following Severe Weather Submitted by LINDA LANDIS Record-breaking cold and winter storms across much of the U.S. have had a significant impact on blood and platelet donations. The American Red Cross is urging healthy individuals, especially those with type O blood, to ensure blood products are available for patient emergencies when help can’t wait. Extreme winter weather has forced the cancellation of hundreds of Red Cross blood drives in about 30 states and caused more than 15,000 blood and
platelet donations to go uncollected. Every day thousands of patients rely on lifesaving blood donations. The need for blood is constant, even during snowstorms and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ensure lifesaving patient care isn’t impacted, individuals are urged to make appointments to donate in the coming days and weeks by downloading the Red

known anyone who needed blood transfusions. Now, this grateful mother says, “You truly never know when you, or someone you love, might need it.” Important COVID-19 information for donors The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether an individual developed COVID-19 symptoms. Red Cross antibody tests will be helpful to identify individuals who have COVID-19 antibodies and may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. Convalescent plasma is a type of blood donation collected from COVID-19 survivors that have antibodies that may help patients who are actively fighting the virus. Plasma from whole blood donations that test positive for high levels of COVID-19 antibodies may be used to help COVID-19 patients. COVID-19 antibody test results will be available within one to two weeks in the Red Cross Blood Donor App or donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org. A positive antibody test result does not confirm infection or immunity. The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test. To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, it is important that individuals who do not feel well or believe they may be ill with COVID-19 postpone donation. Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions– including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance.

currently pay taxes, so that “main contributors to stormwater runoff...would also be part of the solution.” Despite this, borough solicitor Steven Goudsouzian cautioned the borough against the fee. He called it “potentially litigious and potentially bureaucratic” if the fees are not equitable. “You would be telling members of the borough…[they are] going to be specially assessed,” he said. “Conversely, if it is in a tax, you have some control over it. I strongly recommend against special assessments.” “That being said,” he added, “if you want to take a look at it more...that is up to you.” Borough entities would be assessed on the size of their impervious coverage. This wor-
ried some council members like Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. and Kenneth Hall because a small property with more impervious coverage would be assessed at a higher fee structure than a large property with less impervious coverage. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr. was also hesitant, citing that a tax increase may be placed on borough residents in other ways. “I understand the core concept and essential need for it,” he said, “[But] this whole concept of a fee is designed to get entities that do not pay taxes [like the school district] to contribute to special projects...if we go ahead and hand them a bill, I can all but guarantee our school taxes will increase.” Lopsonzski, Sr. agreed. “The way you divert your costs is to pass it on to the taxpayer,” he warned. “Do not forget our
school district is 100 square miles. They are going to [raise taxes on] the other municipalities that make up the school district.” Lopsonzski, Jr. added that the borough is about two-thirds of the way done paying for the Dry Run Creek project. “I am in favor of doing the legwork [and] having it ready if need be,” he said of the fee, “but as of now we have a good enough handling of it with our current means and general budget.” Goudsouzian warned council against moving forward with more studies at taxpayers’ cost. “My concern is we are going to spend a lot of engineering dollars...and at the end of the day you are going to realize this is something you do not want to do.” However, McHale volunteered to put together a study on 10 borough parcels to see what the minimum and maximum fees may be at no cost to the township. This changed the opinion of many councilmembers. During a vote, six of the seven council members voted to move forward with a stormwater fee exploration if it was done by McHale as opposed to borough engineers. “If he wants to put time in and come up with small numbers...at no cost, [then I vote] yes,” said Hall. Lopsonzski, Jr. also voted yes, as long as it is “preliminary, backof-the-envelopment math.” Only Councilman Tony Pristash voted against the exploration. “There are too many factors,” he said. “We have already hit citizens up with tax increases over the last few years.” McHale will present his findings at an upcoming council meeting. The next borough council meeting is proposed to be held in-person on Thursday, March 4, at 7:30 p.m.

Continued from page 8 Update on Mental Health in Aging program at Gracedale
In January 2019, Lamont McClure and the Department of Human Services (DHS) launched a pilot program for Mental Health and Aging (MHAP) at Gracedale Nursing Home to provide services for older individuals with mental illness. The goal of the program was to enhance the daily life of seniors, help them maintain their residency in approved facilities and provide technical assistance for care providers. “This may be the first program of its kind to be tested,” says Lamont McClure. “So far, it’s proving very successful, delivering huge benefits to families struggling to keep their elderly relatives in safe and secure housing where they

can access the care they need.” The County of Northampton contracted with Haven House to provide services under the MHAP program including one-on-one counseling and support to address behavioral challenges. Some Gracedale residents suffer from trauma, depression or anxiety, others just struggle with the transition to a Long Term Care facility. Counselors from Haven House offer support to both residents and their family members and use a Recovery Adjustment questionnaire to monitor improvements. At the start of the program in 2019, coordinators anticipated supplying support to no more than twenty residents. The services proved so popular that, in the last two years, Haven House counselors have served 297 residents and are currently handling 172 active cases. The program includes one behavioral specialist, four counselors and three Certified Older Adult Peer Specialists (COAPS). One of the COAPS is bilingual. Since the inception of services, crisis calls are down by 58.6 percent and there’s been a 92 percent decrease in on-site crisis visits. In-patient hospitalizations (302s) are down by 94 percent and voluntary/ involuntary commitments (201s) have decreased by 100 percent. Gracedale staff have also found the program beneficial, especially after the nursing home had to close to visitors at the start of the pandemic. “Having Haven House on-site to provide these services has been important for keeping both the resident’s and the staff’s mental health stable as we cope with COVID-19,” says Gracedale Administrator Jennifer Stewart King. “Residents are seen quickly because the counselors are in the building. We hope this program continues.” Currently, the MHAP is funded by Gracedale and the County’s Mental Health department. The County is in talks with Magellan about reimbursement for the next fiscal year. The MHAP program has been recognized by the Office of Mental Health and Substance abuse for its success.
Gab Over The Fence by Pete G. Ossip
Well hopefully we've seen the last of the darn snow. We've got sunshine and warm weather in the forecast so maybe it's smooth sailing 'til spring. Now we just look to flooding and everything being mushy for awhile. The only thing I don't like about springtime is whenever I walk my dog
she is a complete muddy mess...Speakin' of dogs, I've been hearing some rumors that there are people in the area from Allentown trying to steal dogs. I don't know if it's true but I've seen information about this a few times now on social media. Whether it's true or not it's never a bad idea to keep a close watch on your pups...There was a shooting in Catty last Friday. I read that a man holding a gun refused to drop his weapon and was shot. Crime happens everywhere
but it's always shocking when it's so close to home, isn't it? A man in Bath allegedly threatened a family member and police officer with a knife, and had to be tasered a few weeks ago. I'm waiting to get the police report on that before divulging more...Is anyone else feeling down now that football is over? I don't get into NASCAR or baseball so I got a ways to go. I wonder how all the Birds fans are feeling now that Wentz is leaving? I feel like good riddance. However, seems
www.HomeNewsPA.com
like a waste that they fired Pederson now, but that's just my opinion...Drew Brees announced that he's returning for another season. Will Tom Brady? Really no reason not to, he's just as good as ever. I read something about the Steelers maybe releasing Big Ben. Is he worth $41 some million? Not sure...Anywho, I gotta get goin' so have a great week all and I'll cya next time.

February 2021 By Bill Brackbill
February 2021 is a month with many special days, each one has a meaning for us in many ways. Early in the month we await the Groundhog’s prediction if the answer is spring we hope no contradiction, if the answer is more winter, we hope it is fiction. We celebrate Presidents’ Day with sales for all hoping that everyone will go to the mall. Valentine’s Day is for couples to strengthen their relationship knowing that it will enhance their partnership. Mardi Gras is a time for fun and frolic and this tradition has long been symbolic. Fasnacht Day is for a special treat with calories to ignore without conceit. Lent and Purim are religious events that we hold in reverence for all religious institutions deserve our benevolence. But February has seen significant winter upheavals in our nation storms, tornadoes, snow, wind, and ice cause for caution and the Pandemic has necessitated supplies to ration. With all these forces causing us to resolve that kindness we must allow to evolve.
Stories From My Heart By Cynthia JeanDeLuca
The Magic of Two Caring Hearts
Today was a rainy, damp day. A kind of day that you wish you could curl up in your bed and sleep the hours away. A day that sometimes fills our minds with the color blue. A day that can be very difficult for those facing a

loss of some kind, an illness, or perhaps missing someone they love. It can be tough if we let “blue” attach to our soul. I must admit that blue has found me from time to time. Sometimes blue stuck around way too long, and I knew that I had to make some changes. It was incredible how a group of children changed my blue to yellow faster than the snap of my fingers. My blue started back in 1994 when my husband died of a massive heart attack. I returned to my classroom one week after he passed, and everything involved around his death was taken care of. With a heavy heart, I was determined to get back into my routine and do the best for each one of my students. I was not going to allow my students to see or feel the blue I was feeling. It rained on the third day back, and I found myself struggling. Even though I smiled and carried on our morning lessons, I think some of them knew that I was sad. I will never forget one little boy asking for a sheet of yellow construction paper. I reminded him that it was not free time, but he told me that it was important. He asked if another student could help him. Since he asked nicely, I gave my permission. As I worked with a group of students, the two boys worked to complete their project. They worked on their daily work until I was finished with my group. As I looked up, I saw a little hand waving like a flag on a windy day. He walked up with his hands behind his back and asked me to close my eyes and not open them until he told me to. Within a few seconds, I heard the children, saying “Aw.” This precious little boy and his sidekick made me the most beautiful yellow paper sun with rays that looked like spikes. I have to admit, that sun that took two pieces of paper and some scotch tape touched my heart beyond belief. But it was what he said that made me hold back the tears. He reminded me that every time it rained, I told them that we would need to make our own sunshine. He then handed me the beautiful bright yellow sun and said, “Please don’t be sad. Here is your sunshine.” We hung the paper sun on the bulletin board, and every time I looked at it, I smiled. Those two little boys, the
one with the idea and his helper, will never know how much they touched my heart. Whenever I felt sad, I knew the paper sun was there as a reminder that the day would be bright, a yellow day. An amazing thing happened, the yellow started taking over my heart, and by the end of the year, the yellow had spread, and the blue started to fade. I still have that paper sun. It’s not as bright as when it was made, but it still shines for me. Although this story took place in 1994, it is prevalent to the uncertainties and sadness we are all feeling today. Those two precious boys, who are now grown men, will never know how they
Feb. 25-March 3, 2021 11
changed my life that day. I still have that yellow paper sun tucked away somewhere. Just thinking about it makes me smile. When you are blue, think of the bright sun that shines so brightly and warms everything it touches, then take one day at a time and know that you are loved.
