By KERI LINDENMUTH On Wednesday, February 19, East Allen Township continued its curative amendment hearing against Rockefeller Group. Rockefeller used the hearing to stress that the rise of e-commerce has directly impacted the rise of development in the area. The hearing began with the cross-examination of Johanna Chervak, Director of Real Estate Development for the Rockefeller Group. She was asked about traffic at the proposed site. Plans for

Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable trauma deaths, whether it be from a motor accident, mass shooting, or at-home accidents. The “Stop the Bleed” program is meant to educate both first responders and the public on how to stop uncontrolled bleeding through wound packing and using a tourniquet; these methods save lives and are meant to reduce the number of deaths from uncontrolled bleeding in the event of an emergency. There is a common misconception that tourniquets are harmful, and should only be used as a very last resort. However, this is far from true; both Mike Snyder and Pennsylvania State Police Corpo-

St. Luke’s presents ‘Stop the Bleed’ at Bath Neighborhood Watch meeting

A few months ago, Mr. Oberly and this writer received a phone call from Ms. Toby Gilbert, who resides in Houston, Texas. She has read some of our columns and wondered if we would be interested in the Weaver family. The village in Allen and East Allen townships was named for a family descendant. Toby’s sister Ms. Susan Jenkins, an attorney, has done extensive research on the family lineage. Their mother, Margie Jenkins, granddaughter of Amanda Weaver, is a descendant of Samuel Weaver, whose father, Michael Weaver, founded the village of Weaversville. We thought this chapter of local history would be interesting to our loyal readers. I wrote a number of columns about the village history a few years ago. Weaversville has been in the news lately — not for its long history but for the input of traffic on Weaversville Road. Let’s go back in time to 1728 before the name Weaversville appeared. The first 18 settlers were Scotch Irish. Their leader, James Craig, purchased land from William Allen, who was the fatherin-law of John Penn, son of William Penn. It was first known as the Craig Settlement and later named the Irish Settlement. It was the first settlement in OFF

‘Positive’ meetings with FedEx, LVPC Lead to action in Northampton by KERI LINDENMUTH When truck traffic became too much for some residents to bear, Northampton Borough led the charge in calling neighboring municipalities together for a solution. Five municipalities met regularly to discuss the reasons behind the increased truck traffic. These intermunicipal meetings began in September and recently came to a close. During their public meeting on Thursday, February 20, Northampton

Borough gave a recap on possible solutions and ideas for moving forward. In addition to Northampton, municipalities involved in the process included North Catasauqua, East Allen Township, Allen Township, and Hanover Township. Representatives from the LVPC, State Representative Zachary Mako’s office, and even FedEx made at least one appearance at the meetings. The main issue at hand, ex-

plained Councilman Robert McHale, were trucks exiting Route 22 at Fullerton Avenue and traveling through the various municipalities to reach the FedEx Ground site. Their GPS systems were directing them via the quickest route, instead of the mandated route of Airport Road, Race Street, and Willowbrook Road. During the meetings, the LVPC agreed to work with PennDOT to install signage on Route 22. These signs would instruct drivers to exit at Airport Road. In addition, the planning commission promised to release a Race Street construction schedule. The closure of the county bridge on the street has increased truck traffic on side roads. The LVPC believes construction will be completed by the summer, but more construction will follow. Police Chief Bryan Kadingo explained that the borough’s officers are also taking steps to help enforce truck traffic. Together, the municipalities’ police departments are attempting to get several officers qualified to conduct truck inspections. Then, the municipalities will coordinate days and times for enforcement. Chief Kadingo also said the department is setting up training for officers so they can learn how to stop trucks. Two officers are also interested in attending Continued on page 5

Building A call for 468 spaces for cars, 240 spaces for tractor trailers, and 192 loading docks. Building B includes 460 car spaces, 229 trailer spaces, and 176 loading docs. As Attorney Kimberly Freimuth explained, that could amount to over 1,674 trips per day if each truck is turned twice. "That's not how these facilities operate," countered Chervak. "That's a theoretical." However, no traffic study has been conducted by Rockefeller. According to Chervak, traffic studies are not completed until zoning is defined. Rockefeller gave no indication of the number of employees, but is in negotiation with a tenant for one of the lots in neighboring Allen Township. However, an NDA prevented Chervak from naming the prospect. Chervak predicts that the number of employees will be half the number of parking spaces. Doubling up on the parking spaces helps account for shift changes throughout the day. Operations may be as frequent as 24 hours per day, seven days per week. During cross-examination, Chervak indicated that Radar Drive will be extended to Weaversville Road. This will serve as secondary access to the site, something the audience in attendance vocally opposed. The entrance would be open only to cars and restricted to tractor trailers. "We would rely on our engineer to design...height limiting devices over the entrance to prohibit any vehicles beyond a large SUV," explained Chervak. Traffic engineer Brian Harman of the Pidcock Company also testified during the hearing. He outlined the results of a 2013 traffic impact study. The study looked at the impact development would have on Willowbrook Road, Race Street, and Airport Road. Based on road improvements, up to 3.2 million square feet of warehouse could be supported, according to Harman. However, he said larger

facilities could produce the same amount of traffic dependent on their use. Attorney Freimuth described this as "finnegaling." She said the numbers could be generated based on any type of use. This may free up additional capacity for another, more intense, user. "You do not have any verification of any users that are appropriate at this time," she added. He compared warehouse development to the development of residential homes. He said a builder would not wait until every home has a designated user before completing construction. Homes could be for single individuals or for families and each has a different impact on traffic. Dr. Zach Zacharia, director at the Center for Supply Chain Research and associate professor at Lehigh University, was also called as an expert witness by Rockefeller Group. He used his experience to argue that a warehouse is different from a logistic center. A warehouse, he said, is a storage space between shipments to manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. Meanwhile, a modern logistic center is used when the product is directly sent to consumer. Intermediaries like retailers are cut out of the supply chain, saving producers millions and getting packages to consumers' doorsteps in as little as a day. "E-commerce has significantly influenced supply chain management," he said. "The whole point of e-commerce is to get products from the manufacturer to a single consumer...[making] it convenient for consumers to order a product and have it arrive in two days." As brick-and-mortar stores continue to close due to sites like Amazon, logistics centers continue to grow as part of a multibillion dollar industry. One-totwo-day shipping would not be possible without a logistics center, he argued. Residents vocally opposed Dr. Zacharia's testimony, questioning its relevance. When pressed by Freimuth whether there was any clear dis-

Agriculture Secretary Announces Research Funding to Combat Chronic Wasting Disease In PA deer

Pennsylvania deer. “Scientists have made significant progress toward better understanding Chronic Wasting Disease in isolating genes associated with the disease,” Redding said. “These projects show potential to build on that progress by speeding diagnosis, helping scientists better understand how CWD progresses and ultimately, learn how to keep it from spreading.” Funded projects are: • Exploring the potential of working dogs to detect CWD in deer feces, funded at $242,246. The project will be led by Dr. Cynthia M. Otto, professor and director of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine Working Dog Center. • Development and testing of live-animal tests to detect CWD, funded and $561,000. The project will be led by University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine biochemistry professor Dr. Anna Kashina. • Development of live-animal tests to detect CWD, led by Dr. Davin M. Henderson, a protein chemist and founder of CWD Evolution, LLC. The project is funded at $196,754. The department oversees Pennsylvania’s deer farming industry and conducts diagnostic tests to determine whether deer that have died were CWD-infected. The department also offers genetic screening to help deer farmers determine how likely their deer are to contract the disease. Learn more about the department’s CWD program at agriculture. pa.gov.

Submitted by STEVE GARDNER Technology has made our lives easier in many ways, but it has also opened us up to many risks that we don’t always recognize. Shopping, banking and getting tech support virtually are becoming the preferred option for many of us, but these conveniences also open doors for impostors. Here are some big red flags: if someone professing to be from a government agency contacts you with an urgent issue you must tend to immediately, it’s a scam. If you get a call or a popup message on your device saying you have a problem with your computer and you need to address it immediately, it’s a scam. If someone – anyone – says you can pay an obligation with a gift card, it’s a scam. Enjoy the conveniences of technology, but stay safe while doing it. Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. Report scams to local law enforcement. For help from AARP, call 1-877-908-3360

Looking Back Continued from page 1

tory tells us Benjamin Franklin, our postmaster general, stopped at the tavern while checking the primitive postal system. His young daughter Sally accompanied him on the trip, and they were given colonial hospitality by the Hays family. Franklin would return later to check a system of fronts constructed during the French and Indian wars. During the war, many residents fled to Bethlehem to seek refuge from Indian attack. John Hays and a number of residents were organized by Franklin to protect the settlers during the war. Hays’ tavern became a post office and meeting place for the early settlers. The Scotch Irish not only brought a strong work ethic, but also their Presbyterian faith and constructed a log church in 1731, one of the first churches in Northampton County. The advent of the American Revolution saw the village rally to the cause and join the Northampton militia. Under General Robert Brown, they served the nation with courage and honor.

Do it with Humor By CAROL RITTER I’ve been blessed with a career that has taken me all over the country to speak, train and coach thousands of volunteers, entrepreneurs, and non-profit leadership. I have a library of almost 30 speeches and board retreats, most custom-designed for our clients. What was the common thread? What continued, I believe, to being hired throughout my career? I would say content, of course, but I discovered that my clientele was mostly interested in humor. So many times in the initial introduction to the planners, they would ask, "Are you funny?" One time a man from Toastmasters called me from Rochester, NY. He said last year’s speaker was a bust, he was boring and the audience jumped all over him for bringing him in. He then added, "But he was free." I thought, "Well, you got what you paid for." He told me he looked at my website and saw humor. I thanked him and asked what his budget was for the event. He went on to say that he was going to give me the biggest, juiciest prime rib I ever ate. I thanked him and politely told him that I donate my time locally and that I would have to pass. I was wondering if the bank would accept a prime rib as

However, they have reached out to Waze and Google directly to work on changing the routes that the GPS systems display. In addition, they have installed geo-fence electric monitoring. Truck traffic is monitored and leadership is given real-time reports on a truck’s location and time. Drivers with repeated violations are let go immediately. All of borough council felt positive about the meetings. “Can we promise you that tomorrow there will not be any trucks on Howertown Road?” asked borough Manager LeRoy Brobst. “No. But I think [FedEx] is taking steps in the right direction.” In addition, Brobst said these meetings showcased strong intermunicipal cooperation. From these meetings, the River Central Comprehensive Plan and a jointneeds assessment for the local fire departments were created. “It has been good to find that cooperation exists,” he said. “Just bear with us.”

Ossip Welcome back gang, here we are again as another week has passed…I’d like to start with some very good news, that NASCAR driver Ryan Newman was released from the hospital on Wednesday, Feb. 19…Do you remember the duo that was accused of the LV barn fire spree last year? I read they’re facing more prison time now, might have something to do with comparing themselves to Bonnie and Clyde…Fastnacht Day was on Tuesday—Easton Baking Co. opened just in time to sell fastnachts. I saw Lattemann’s was selling them too. I made sure to get mine so I don’t have bad luck! Are you giving up anything for Lent? I’m still deciding, I’m considering giving up fast food. There are so many good restaurants in our area it shouldn’t be too hard to avoid those drivethrus…Leap Day is this Saturday, do you know anyone born on a Leap Day? Did you know there’s a club for people born on Feb. 29? There are more than 10,000 members worldwide… I have an update on Nazareth High School’s rooftop challenge; the total raised was $6,860 and all of that will go to “Team Oneblood cancer. The administrators did indeed spend the night on the roof! Now that is commitment… Naz-O-Nut is making a special Team One Day donut this week and proceeds will be donated to help find a cure for blood cancer, that fundraiser will end this Friday…Oh I also have an update on the gun situation at Nazareth High School. They were able to identify the student responsible for sending the image of the weapon and disciplinary action, with both the NASD police and the Northampton County District Attorney is being taken…Looks like Bath had a good turnout for their Neighborhood Watch Group meeting, moving forward they’ll hold those quarterly, stay tuned for the next one in May…Bath’s next council meeting is on March 2, I am told that PennDOT will be present to discuss the Route 248 re-alignment project…I’m a little late on this but did you hear about the 8-vehicle crash that happened in the Wegmans parking lot in Hanover Township? The last I heard was two people were injured, I think a driver had a medical episode and hit seven parked vehicles…Were you a Sears shopper? The last Lehigh Valley location, in Whitehall, has closed. It’s the

end of an era I suppose. I remember learning about the birth of the Sears catalog in a class at school…Not many Kmarts open anymore either, I may be wrong but I think the only one left in the Lehigh Valley is the one over in Walnutport. That’s a pretty nice one if I do say so myself… I know for a while their inventory was dwindling but I heard they’ve restocked their shelves. There are lots of rumors whether they’re closing or not, not sure if they’re actually slated to close. All the Internet shopping is replacing the stores and leading to more warehouses and logistics centers…a never-ending cycle I reckon…Anywho, Paw Prints on the Canal is still cancelled for this year but will bark on in 2021 on June 13! I heard they’re lookin’ for volunteers though, if you’d like to volunteer please email pawprintsonthecanal@yahoo. com…Did you hear about the teen girl that had to be rescued from the quarry Sunday night? Around 5:45 at night emergency personnel were called, a 14-yearold girl was holding onto a tree above the quarry, in the area of Nor-Bath Blvd. in Allen Township. Not sure if the girl will face trespassing charges, I’m glad everyone is okay…There was a gas leak in Northampton very early Sunday morning in the area of 19-21st streets of Washington Avenue, unfortunately that’s all the info I have on that right now…Did you see the photo of the month?

Pennsylvania State Police Troop M Reminds Motorists of ‘Steer Clear Law’ Submitted by PSP-BETHLEHEM The Pennsylvania State Police, Troop M, would like to remind motorists of Title 75 Section 3327 “Duty of Driver in Emergency Response Areas.” Otherwise known as the “Steer

www.HomeNewsPA.com

Clear Law” or “Move Over Law” which requires drivers to move over or slow down when they encounter an emergency scene, traffic stop or disabled vehicle. This law will help prevent injuries and save lives, but only if drivers follow the law and use common sense. When approaching or passing an emergency response area, a person, unless otherwise directed by an emergency service responder, shall: 1) Pass in a lane not adjacent to that of the emergency response area, if possible, or; 2) If passing in a nonadjacent lane is impossible, illegal or unsafe, pass the emergency response area at a careful and prudent reduced speed reasonable for safely passing the emergency response area. Recently, Pennsylvania has experienced many dangerous incidents where drivers failed to obey the “Move Over Law”: • On Sunday, Jan. 5, EMS Supervisor Matthew Smelser, of Rostraver West Newton Emergency Services, was killed when his ambulance was struck by another vehicle. Smelser was on scene at I-70 in Westmoreland County assisting a previous crash when he was killed. • On Sunday, Jan. 26, Troopers from Troop H Harrisburg were conducting a traffic stop on I-283 North, Mile Marker 2.1, Swatara Township, Dauphin County, when upon exiting the patron vehicle, one of the Troopers was struck in his left arm by the passenger’s side mirror of a passing motorist. • On Wednesday, Jan. 29, Troopers from Troop M Fogelsville were conducting a traffic stop on I-78 Eastbound Mile Marker 44.3, Weisenberg Township, Lehigh County, when a box truck approached their location and the passenger side view mirror struck the driver’s side view mirror of the patrol vehicle. Emergency responders that you must move over for include police, fire department, EMS, tow trucks, PENNDOT personnel, and other roadside assistance vehicles. If you fail to move over, you could face a fine of $250 for a first offense, $500 for a second offense, and $1,000 for a third or subsequent offense. Repeat offenders face a license suspension and violators who cause bodily injury or death of an emergency responder face additional license suspensions and fines of up to $10,000. Please move over for all emergency responders. Their lives depend on it. For more information on the Pennsylvania State Police, visit www.psp.pa.gov.

Pablo Picasso once said, “The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off of our souls”, so how about an afternoon at the Art Den located at 37 Belvidere St., Nazareth. Art and creativity keep the imagination of our children alive and during the winter months we need to make sure they are able to express themselves, fostering their mental growth. From paint brushes to drawing lessons, the Art Den can help you reach your goal of keeping your children’s imagination alive through the expression of art. Lights, camera, action…..it’s movie time. Take your littles to see a movie at the historic Roxy Theatre, located at 2004 Main Street, Northampton. This theatre, owned by Richard, “Rick”, Wolfe, dates back to 1921 and offers movie tickets and refreshments at a fraction of the cost that larger movie theatres do. Don’t worry, owner Rick Wolfe says, “There are no ghosts here, yet”, insinuating that he will be the first spirit to live at the theatre in the future. Currently they are offering, Jumanji, The Next Level, and hope you visit them soon to catch a movie in a relaxed, comfortable environment. If you would prefer not to spend money, there are many options to choose from such as a visit to your local library. The Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity offers many programs including book readings throughout the week for children of all ages. They also offer a Shake and Boogie class, which is a half hour long class filled with music, movement and fun for babies and preschoolers. For class times or book reading information, please visit nazarethlibrary.org. Beat those winter blues by taking your snow-bunnies out to have some fun and enjoy all the Lehigh Valley has to offer. Don’t forget, always love your littles a little bit more, because the love you share with them they will share with the world.

Andenes, Norway currently holds the official record for the most number of children born in one family on leap day. Karin Henriksen gave birth to three children on February 29; her daughter Heidi in 1960 and her sons Olav and Leif-Martin in 1964 and 1968. In Scotland, it used to be considered unlucky for someone to be born on leap day, just as Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day by many. Greeks consider it unlucky for couples to marry during a leap year, and especially on Leap Day.

Leap year capital

The twin cities of Anthony, Texas, and Anthony, New Mexico, are the self-proclaimed Leap Year Capital of the World. They hold a four-day leap year festival each leap year that includes a huge birthday party for all leap year babies.

Leap years in history

During leap years, Benjamin Franklin proved that lightning is electricity (1752), George Armstrong Custer fought the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876), gold was discovered in California (1848), and the Titanic sank (1912).

All about Leap Day

www.timeanddate.com A Leap Day, February 29, is added to the calendar during leap years. This extra day, also called Leap Year Day, makes the year 366 days long – not 365 days, like a common year.

The next leap day is Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020. The last Leap Day was on Monday, Feb. 29, 2016.

Why Add a Leap Day?

Leap days are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolutions around the sun.

It takes the Earth approximately 365.242189 days – or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds – to circle once around the sun. This is called a tropical year. Without an extra, or intercalary, day on February 29 nearly every four years, we would lose almost six hours every year. After only 100 years, a calendar without leap years would be off by approximately 24 days in relation to fixed seasonal days such as the vernal equinox or the winter solstice.

Caesar Introduced Leap Years

Roman general Julius Caesar implemented the first leap day in his Julian Calendar, which he introduced in 45 BCE. A leap day was added every four years. At the time, leap day was February 24, and February was the last month of the year.

Too Many Leap Years

However, adding a leap day every four years was too often and eventually, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII introduced the Gregorian Calendar. This calendar, which we still use today, has a more

precise formula for calculation of leap years, also known as bissextile years.

Traditions and Folklore

Leap Day as a concept has existed for more than 2,000 years and it is still associated with ageold customs, folklore, and superstition. One of the most wellknown traditions is that women propose to their boyfriends, instead of the other way around.

Leap Months

The ancient Roman Calendar added an extra month every few years to maintain the correct seasonal changes, similar to the Chinese leap month.

Leapling Birthdays

Leap year day on February 29 occurs nearly every four years. However, leap day babies, (leaplings, leapers, or leapsters) still get to celebrate their birthday in common years. Some celebrate on February 28, some prefer March 1. However, many countries have laws defining which date a person born on February 29 comes of age in legal terms. For instance in New Zealand, the official
