By KERI LINDENMUTH

During their meeting on Thursday, February 2, Northampton Borough Council unanimously voted to make Councilwoman Julia Kutzler their new president. Councilwoman Kutzler becomes the first woman to fill the council president seat, replacing former president Anthony Lopsonzski, Jr., who resigned from council earlier this year after moving out of the borough.

Kutzler was celebrated by her fellow council members, who all wished her well in her new role.

Councilman Ronald Glassic was unanimously voted to serve as council’s vice president. He fills the role previously held by Kutzler.

“I look forward to serving our borough and doing the best I can supporting Ms. Kutzler,” he said after assuming his role.

StorieS From my Heart

By Cynthia Jean DeLuca

my HeartFelt WiSH For you

It's February! A short month – a month where we patiently waited for the forecast from Punxsutawney Phil, hoping that we would see an early end to winter, the honoring of two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, and Valentine's Day, where red hearts of candy, beautiful cards, delicious dinners, and “I love you” fills the hearts of young and old alike.

If you haven't guessed, this is a story about love. Not necessarily the kind of gushy love, but love that floats between family, friends, strangers, and even our pets.

I invite you to take a journey back in time with me, a time that I have been visiting a lot recently, especially with all the sadness that seems to thicken like dark clouds on a rainy day.

One of my earliest memories of Valentine's Day was when my mother gave me a little heart-shaped cake wrapped in soft plastic. I remember Mom helping me tear the wrap open. She cut the small cake in half, then, with my eyes bigger than saucers, held out her hand to meet mine.

For many years, the memory was tucked away. It was not until a few weeks before her passing in 2013 that she shared the little heart cake story with me, jogging my memory back to a simpler time when love bloomed and multiplied like buds on a beautiful white dogwood tree.

As I grew from childhood to my teen years, I witnessed love through the generosity of family, friends, and neighbors when my parents struggled through illnesses and layoffs. Those dear sweet people brought food and helped with the chores, always with smiles on their faces and love in their voices. They never asked for anything in return; helping was payment enough.

Through those years, I watched my father care for stray dogs, lovingly nursing them back to health and working to find them homes. I listened to him when he talked to our beagle, Buddy. His eyes would light up, and pure love radiated from him to our beloved dog. His love in action instilled a deep affection for animals in my heart that has grown profoundly over the years. It always amazes me how animals love unconditionally, especially our pets.

In summer, my mother and grandmother put up vegetables from our garden. One year

my mother canned over 700 jars. I once asked her why so many. Her response was one I continued to hear over the years: "You never know who might need a little extra help." The love of giving to those in need resonates in my heart.

Throughout my day, whether out walking, shopping, at church, or with family and friends, I make a point to smile at everyone I pass or meet. A smile is a term of endearment. Our smiles can lift spirits, comfort, and change a life and they are free.

Love is the golden thread that binds us to one another. It is patient, kind, and slow to anger. It is forgiving. When we forgive, love grows and blossoms like a bed of red and yellow tulips. Love reaches out to help others, regardless of the need, without asking for anything in return.

Love and kindness go hand and hand and create a circle that never ends.

My heartfelt wish for you is to know love and give love to everyone you meet.

Happy Valentine's Day!

believes the findings should be incorporated into the record and considered by the Zoning Hearing Board during their decision.

The Planning Commission passed a motion to recommend the following to the Zoning Hearing Board: four-foot buffer trees on Moorestown Road, planting extra trees for woodlands replacement, realigning Jones Road and improvements to the curve of Jones Road, additional berm on western property line, and 113 additional parking spaces in front of building two with an underground retention basin, which would replace the proposed aboveground stormwater retention basin.

Kaplin added that the challenges and requests for the following items have been withdrawn due to Township Engineer Kevin Horvath’s findings during previous testimony: the conflict with the berm has been eliminated because the applicant is willing to compromise and put the berm behind the woodland area; the parking, staging, and loading challenge; the challenge and request for variance in regard to the proposed lighting; and the challenge regarding the scope of the traffic study because the applicant’s engineer Stephen M. Walsh from Dynamic Engineering Consultants met with traffic engineers for the township and PennDOT.

Therefore, the Zoning Hearing Board appeal thus far has dwindled the list of challenges and requests from the applicant down to two challenges and one variance request. Kaplin expressed the applicant is willing to comply with everything else the township engineer and zoning officer have determined or requested if the township is willing to grant the variance and votes in favor of the two remaining challenges.

The applicant is still challenging the zoning officer’s determination that more information is needed regarding the tenant even though the applicant believes they provided sufficient information regarding a “typical” tenant based on general warehouse use.

The applicant is also still challenging the interpretation of the township engineer regarding man-made versus natural steep slopes. They believe that the determination that man-made steep slopes and steep slopes within previously disturbed areas are not exempt from preservation requirements is contrary to the ordinance because the ordinance does not differentiate man-made steep slopes from natural steep slopes and because the ordinance says that natural steep slopes have to be preserved but does not include man-made steep slopes in the ordinance or definition. Kaplin explained he believes the ordi-

nance is clear, and that the applicant should not have to protect man-made steep slopes. Kaplin added the steep slopes provision would significantly interfere with the development of the project.

Last, Water’s Edge is still requesting a minor variance for the preservation requirement of the woodlands on the property. The ordinance calls for a 60% preservation requirement for woodland areas. However, the applicant has proposed filling in some of the disturbed areas with additional trees and are therefore only requesting relief for 5% of the preservation rate, making the preservation requirement 55% due to the relocation of Jones Road that would disturb a large portion of the trees and woodland area on the property.

During public comment, many residents voiced their concerns that Route 512 is not able

to handle the amount of tractor trailers that will be backed up onto the highway as well as other highways such as Route 248 that neighbor the property. Many residents also voiced the concern that the Borough of Bath cannot handle the truck traffic these warehouses will bring.

However, Chairman Jeffrey Ayers explained the township does not get to determine if the roads can handle the traffic because the township does not have jurisdiction over state roads— PennDOT does.

Ayers also made residents aware that the Civilian Right-ToKnow Act does not allow toxic materials to be warehoused near a residential area and that residents will have a right to know what is being housed in the warehouses when they have a tenant.

Township Solicitor David M. Backenstoe commented that

the language of the steep slopes provision is unequivocally clear in that it does not exclude manmade steep slopes and that the applicant does not comply with the ordinance, leaving no other way to interpret this.

Backenstoe also argued that although the township cannot require the applicant name a specific tenant when there is none, they can ask for the determined use and hours. If not, the applicant can request a variance, but they have not done so.

Backenstoe also opined that the 14-foot berm should still be required.

The Zoning Hearing Board will decide on how they want to vote and make a decision on each individual challenge or request after an executive session that will be held on Friday, February 10 at 6 p.m. in the township’s municipal building, located at 2491

Community Dr. However, due to limited space, residents are encouraged to attend via the Zoom link that will be available on the township’s website, mooretownship.org.

Flood Announces Over $130,000 In new Funding To 11 local Fire, EMS Companies

Fire and emergency response organizations in Northampton County have been awarded more than $130,000 in grants from the state, Rep. Ann Flood (R-Northampton) recently announced.

“We are so fortunate to have our volunteer Fire and EMS companies and first responders protect and serve the people in our communities every day,” Flood said. "I am more than pleased to see this incredibly necessary funding support the work they do.”

The funding comes from an ongoing grant program created by the Legislature and administered by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency and Office of the State Fire Commissioner (OSFC). All funding comes from the proceeds from slot machine gaming, and not General Fund tax revenue.

Projects eligible for funding include construction or renovation of a fire or ambulance company facility, purchase or repair of equipment, training, or reduction of existing debt.

The following is a list of local fire and ambulance companies and the amount of their grant awards. All companies that apply and meet requirements outlined by OSFC receive funding. Companies must file a grant agreement with OSFC to receive their

hired as the borough’s new fulltime administrative clerk. She will assist borough secretary Meaghan Case with HR, billing, resident communication, and more.

The borough is still looking for applicants to help fill vacant seats on the Zoning Hearing Board and Planning Commission.

Council also voted to approve the Greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce’s request to hold the 34th Annual Uptown Northampton Street Fair on Saturday, September 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The popular event, which features crafters, local businesses, and food trucks, will stretch from 17th and Main Street to 21st and Main Street.

During the meeting, the borough’s new LED lighting project was also discussed. Earlier this year, PPL began replacing borough street lights with LED lighting. While there have been some resident complaints, Councilman Glassic said the new lighting is safer and more cost-efficient for the borough.

Several areas of the borough have already been completed, with Councilman Glassic saying feedback from residents in those areas has been positive. The brighter lights make it safer for children, modernize the borough's appearance, and are estimated to save the borough and taxpayers roughly $700 a month.

During the meeting, Mayor Anthony Pristash also recapped

his recent attendance to Catholic Schools Week at Good Shepherd Catholic School where he spoke with over 300 students. He said the students were engaged, and he was impressed by the “thoughtfulness” of their questions about “how the town works and how they can help build a better Northampton.” One young school child even shared a unique idea.

“One of the students asked if they could have a Pirates Day at the pirate ship at Canal Park,” says Mayor Pristash.

The mayor and Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst are working to make this happen on September 19, which happens to be “Talk Like a Pirate Day.”

“I already looked up Johnny Depp’s agent,” Mayor Pristash joked.

“The town is in good shape with the youth,” he added. “I hope they continue to find a mission.”

Finally, discussion in regards to the 2023 pool season has already started. Members of council are working with Brobst and pool employees to discuss ways to make the pool more profitable this year and acquire enough lifeguards. Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. recommended forming a consortium with neighboring municipalities to see if they can share lifeguards.

In addition to hiring new lifeguards, the borough plans to honor past lifeguards. Brobst announced that enough funding was raised to install a memorial bench and plaque at the pool in

honor of former lifeguards who have passed away.

The next borough council meeting will be Thursday, February 16 at 7 p.m.

Beginning on March 7, the Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, Inc. will offer free classes for people who would like to obtain an amateur radio license.

The class will run for 10 weeks and will prepare students to take the Federal Communications Commission’s Amateur basic license examination.

Ham radio has played an im-

portant role in communications for more than 100 years and continues to do so. It is part of many emergency management plans because it can be used to communicate if landline telephone lines, cell towers and/or electric grids fail.

It also is a fun hobby for people who enjoy talking with amateur radio operators locally and around the world, participating in contests and field days, and even making contact with the International Space Station.

According to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the nationally recognized organization for ham radio operators, there are more than 750,000 amateur radio license holders in the United States and more than 3 million worldwide.

Based in Bethlehem, the Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club (DLARC) has more than 100 members. It is a non-profit 501(C)(3) charitable organization. Classes are offered as a community service.

Classes will be held on Tuesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Emergency Operations Center (EOC – formerly known as the 911 Center) at 100 Gracedale Ave., Nazareth. For details or to register, contact KE3AW@arrl.net or call 610419-9286.

Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization that supports the library. This is a brand-new group that will host a variety of activities each year. This group gives you the chance to make personal connections with other members of the community and volunteer for library activities and services.

There are many benefits to being a Friends member. Not only would you get a sense of pride for being involved in your library and community, but you will have fun with others who love the library.
