The current owner and future owner of the property, joined by their engineer, Terry DeGroot, and attorney, Scott Steirer, stood before Council and outlined their plans for the future of the property.

Allen Township Planners update Language on building measurements By JUSTIN SWEITZER In Allen Township’s Planning Commission meeting on Jan. 16, township planners began to search for clarification in a series of processes and definitions, beginning with standards relating to building height and the maximum rooftop elevation in the township’s planning process. Following a working group meeting between Planning Commission Chairman Eugene Clater, Vice Chairman Gary Krill, Township Engineer Bob Cox and Township Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell; the remaining members of the Planning Commission were presented with working definitions that were further expanded on by the meeting’s end. Township planners decided that
the building height for any structure will be measured from the lowest point of the proposed grade to the top of the structure, a measurement which is not to exceed 60 feet, according to the commission. The maximum elevation of a rooftop will be the measurement above sea level beginning at a point obtained by averaging the proposed grades at the four primary foundation corners of the building. The building elevation is not to exceed 660 feet, including the 60 feet included in the building height. Clater said these restrictions and procedures are largely in place for “aesthetic” reasons, to maintain a uniform appearance. “What we’re trying to do is keep
some reasonable aesthetics as to how these large buildings appear,” said Clater. The board also discussed language in a parking ordinance to enforce parking in a way that reduces negative appearances throughout the township. “What we are trying to solve is the situation where someone parks a tractor trailer on the street for an extended period of time, or they park multiple vehicles on their property for an extended period of time,” Clater said. “What we’re trying to solve, basically, is an eyesore issue or an abuse of public streets.” The commission decided to remove language in the zoning ordinance that pertains to regulat-
ing parking on public streets, after Alfred Pierce noted that zoning refers to property and any ordinance affecting public streets must be a motor vehicle ordinance. The board then reorganized and eliminated some sections of the ordinance to better address the parking of commercial vehicles in a way that reduces unaesthetic views. In reorganizational business, Pierce made a motion to reappoint all positions for 2017. Clater will continue to serve as chairman, and Krill will continue his work as vice chairman for the Planning Commission. The next Allen Township Planning Commission meeting will be held on Monday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m.

Moore EAC Reviews Wildlands Conservancy Stewardship Plan By JUSTIN SWEITZER Members of the Moore Township Environmental Advisory Council met with a representative of the Wildlands Conservancy to review the status of the Moore Township Appalachian Park Stewardship & Access Plan at their Jan. 10 meeting. The project, headed by the conservancy, focuses on helping Moore Township better utilize their 168-acre park and increase the amount of visitors to it through the implementation of more passive recreation trails as well as through creating and protecting habitats for native species. Carl Martin, the director of property stewardship for the conservancy, took council members through the park’s history and features, and provided recommendations to the council to allow the township to get the most out of their park. Martin outlined three primary objectives for the EAC: trail and access plan implementation; the application of best management practices with a focus on forest health, conservation, habitat and biodiversity; and deer management, which the Wildlands Conservancy described as “arguably the largest factor to consider when managing across a landscape.” In regard to trails within the park, Martin suggested that the EAC monitor the amount of equestrian use once the project is complete. “As you see an increase in equestrian use, the township should look into a dedicated trail for them because horses are hard on trails,” Martin said. He suggested a special loop for horses near a dedicated horse parking lot to reduce excrement on trails primarily used by hikers, walkers and bikers. To manage the local deer population, Martin expressed the benefits that the township could reap from a potential partnership with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which would grant Moore Township complete control over what game is hunted, where game is hunted, and how game is hunted, while helping Moore Township manage the amount of game within their land. In addition to managing the deer population, Martin also informed council members of the various types of invasive species within the park including ailanthus, barberry and stiltgrass plants. He said it’s important that invasive plants are dealt with early on. “Manage that stuff first so you don’t create a vector for more of it,” he said. Martin also stressed that the reptiles and amphibians native to the area need more habitats.

As a business-to-business transporting service, the property provides a convenient central location between the trucking company’s headquarters in North Carolina and businesses in the Northeast and New England. As Joe Russo, Shelba Johnson’s northeast Regional Manager explained, new regulations will soon put a limit on how long drivers can be on the roads at one time. This Allen Street location will allow drivers coming from the south to switch trailers and trucks with new drivers who will continue north. The operation, he explained, will not be a major operation compared to other warehouses in the Lehigh Valley. The company plans on starting with only eight to ten employees and anticipates only five trucks in and five trucks out a day. The company hopes, as its operations grow, that the number can increase to ten trucks in and ten out. Such a number, according to DeGroot, will be “significantly less than what the property saw historically.” Shelba Johnson officials stressed that all items carried by the trucks will be “clean,” meaning no hazmat or hazardous materials will be transported. Most activity will occur later in the evening and earlier in the morning to help drivers beat traffic congestion. Officials estimate that most trucks will enter the property between 7 and 8 p.m., and leave the property between 2 and 3 a.m. Russo also conveyed that there are no plans for the truck traffic to come through town.
However, Shelba Johnson hopes to be more than just a company in the community. It hopes to have an active role in the borough and its growth. When asked by Council President Mark Saginario how Shelba Johnson will “integrate itself with a small community,” president and owner of Shelba Johnson, Joseph Wade, explained that the company will “take a property that needs some help and put some help into it,” including refurbishing the building, landscaping the grounds, and even using some of the land as public parking for the park across the street. “That [parking] would be really appreciated,” said Councilwoman Carol Bear-Heckman. “[With] our company, being family owned,” explained Russo, “we get involved a lot [in the community] in North Carolina. You will see that and understand that.” “It [the company] will be an improvement to the borough,” agreed DeGroot. After hearing from Viders, Shelba Johnson representatives, DeGroot, and Attorney Steirer, Council deliberated privately with Assistant Borough Solicitor James Kratz. Upon returning, Council outlined several conditions: that a small portion of gravel area on the property’s eastern side be paved, that a buffer strip and screening be installed along the property’s eastern edge facing George Wolf Elementary School, that no more than 33 cars enter and exit the property each day, that no more than 25 trucks enter and exit the property each day, that trucks come from the south while arriving at and

departing from the property (except in the case of road closures), and that neither trucks nor trucks with trailers arrive at and depart from the property between the hours of 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. except for a total of 15. It was this last condition that presented a point of conflict between Council and Shelba Johnson officials. Council had originally limited the number of trucks coming in and out of the property to four. However, because one truck repair service will be remaining at the property and will also see several trucks coming in and out, Shelba Johnson officials argued that such a small cap would hurt its ability to operate its business. While it intends for a majority of its traffic to flow in and out of the property during off hours, they felt that limits cannot be placed on this due to unforeseen circumstances. In addition, the repair service by itself may see four trucks in and out of the property throughout the day, leaving no room for Shelba Johnson trucks. “We have to have the ability to
operate our business,” said Wade. After discussion between the two sides, Council and Shelba Johnson came to an agreement of 15, leaving sufficient room for both the repair service to have its trucks flow in and out of the property, in addition to any Shelba Johnson trucks should an unforeseen situation present itself. Officials from Shelba Johnson agreed to comply with all conditions, stating that it would need time for the first two (two years and twelve months, respectively) in order to pay for the costs such conditions would incur. Council voted on and issued a vocal approval for conditional use. A written approval will follow within 45 days.

their appreciation for the 48page document that Martin had prepared. “I think that you did a really excellent job,” said David Frey, chairman of the EAC. In other business, the EAC also discussed the latest news relating to a sewage sludge processing plant in Plainfield Township, which will produce Class A biosolids for use as fertilizer from human waste. The EAC showed skepticism toward the plant, with councilman Peter Locke questioning the amount of information that has been available. “I don’t like the fact that there are some unanswered questions,” Locke said. “What are the implications years down the road?” asked Frey.

To be an expert Are you an expert? Do you know something that no one else knows? Who decides whether you are an expert or not? The dictionary says an expert is a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area. I’m thinking it might be someone who has experience and knowledge like Mark Cuban - a famous Pittsburgh native from Shark Tank and owner of Dallas Mavericks. In 2000, Mark Cuban introduced himself to the NBA community when he purchased the Dallas Mavericks for $285 million from Ross Perot Jr. Mark is an expert entrepreneur and software guy. Then, there’s Barbara Ann Corcoran from Edgewater, New Jersey, an American businesswoman, investor, speaker, consultant, syndicated columnist, author and television personality. She taught for one year and knew she wanted to be her own boss. Her expertise started with real estate and today she’s into speaking and television. Lastly, Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, born in 1984, is an American computer programmer, internet entrepreneur and philanthropist. He is the chairman, chief executive officer and co-founder of Facebook and the fifth richest person in the world. Since 2010, Time magazine has named Zuckerberg among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people in the world. Where do I begin? He’s an expert in so many things it’s hard to list. One thing all of these successful experts have in common is they have experience and knowledge, but when they started they were just three young people driven by their passion for what they do and willing to work like crazy to achieve the title of expert. Are you an expert? Do you share what you know with others? Do your customers think of you as an expert in your field? Make sure they know you are the best at what you do.

A look into the new year By STATE REP. MARCIA HAHN 138th Legislative District While we have barely scratched the surface of 2017, the state of Pennsylvania has already passed the halfway point in its fiscal year….and we have some work to do. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, General Fund collections through December are more than $367 million below estimate. Sales tax receipts (more than $133 million below estimate) and Personal Income Tax revenue (nearly $126 million less than anticipated) make up more than 70 percent of the deficit. That $367 million figure is expected to balloon to approximately $600 million. In addition, the General Assembly’s nonpartisan Independent Fiscal Office has projected a $1.7 billion deficit come July 1, 2017. Gov. Tom Wolf ’s budget address on Tuesday, Feb. 7, should be an interesting one. I am encouraged to hear the administration is committed to doing everything it can to avoid a major tax increase. I can also tell you a broad-based tax increase will not draw my support, and I don’t think there are enough votes in the House and Senate to pass such a measure. I will have a front row seat to the process in my new appointment to the House Appropriations Committee. This bipartisan group considers legislation dealing with expenditures of money
by state government. Our first responsibility will quickly follow the governor’s address, when we hear testimony from various state agencies that are funded by the budget. We will have the opportunity to question them about practices related to spending, in an effort to gauge levels of future appropriation. I look forward to working with new Majority Chairman Stan Saylor from York County on this committee. I will also serve as a deputy whip during the 2016-17 session. This appointment carries a variety of responsibilities in the House, including assisting with member head counts and helping to promote certain tough issues facing the House Republican Caucus. I am also charged with keeping Majority Whip Bryan Cutler of Lancaster County informed about problems that members may have, or issues that might have an effect on the legislative agenda and on the caucus as a whole. I have also been appointed to serve as a deputy chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee. The committee travels across the state, conducting hearings and roundtable discussions about important issues to gather testimony and information from key stakeholders. I will attend these hearings and work with my colleagues to develop policies to address the issues that matter most to Pennsylvania citizens. Passing a state budget is far from the sole responsibility of

the General Assembly. But filling a hole as large as the anticipated budget deficit will take some doing. One thing is for certain – we cannot exclusively tax our way to prosperity. We must find ways to grow the economy. It’s easy to slap a tax increase on something. But if that increase deters positive economic activity, the anticipated revenues decline. Discovering ways to stimulate growth will result in increased consumer spending. These are challenging times in which we live. As my roles and responsibilities in the state legislature increase, I’m looking forward to taking on the challenges for not only the good of the 138th District, but for the good of all Pennsylvanians.

Submitted by KELLY BOND In 2016, the USDA NASS conducted a “Local Food Marketing Practices Survey” to get a better picture of the direct-to-consumer sales in agriculture. According to NASS, “the primary purpose of the Local Food Marketing Practices Survey was to produce benchmark statistics on the number of farms that market food directly, the value of these direct sales, and the marketing practices used in conjunction with direct sales”. In 2015, 167,009 farms sold $8.7 billion in food directly to consumers, local retailers, institutions, and local distributors. Direct-to-consumer sales totaled $3 billion or 35% of total direct sales. On-farm stores and farmers markets account for 67% of those direct-to-consumer sales or $2 billion nationwide. Pennsylvania ranks 4th in the nation with $439 million in direct sales behind California, Michigan, and New York. Fresh food products make up 53% of direct-to-consumer sales with Pennsylvania ranked first
in the number of farms selling directly to the consumer. Eighty percent of the farms reporting sold all of their directly marketed food within a 100 mile radius of their farm. If you think about a farm you visited to buy apples, then look at a map and draw circle of a hundred mile radius from that farm, which would cover many places. Now, consider all the farms in our region who produce food marketed locally and draw the same circle around each of them. That is an impressive local food impact. The reality is that of the food dollars we spend, just over 3% is on locally produced food. In other words, $3 out of every $100
of our food bill goes to food produced locally. What if we made a conscious effort to commit to spending $10 out of every $100 or 10% of our food dollars on locally produced food? Think about the impact that could have to our farms and local economy. We are in the middle of the dark days of winter but farmers still have food to offer us. Remember to visit some of the many winter farmers markets and on-farm markets in our region. Nothing like local food to brighten our moods and warm us through the winter.

acquired by the Bethlehem Redevelopment Authority when it became blighted. The Bethlehem Redevelopment Authority covered the cost of removing the old home and turned the property over to Habitat in late 2014. In March 2015 Habitat LV started site work and in September 2016 had a “Blitz Build” with over 50 volunteers to put the home up. Over the fall months Habitat LV staff, Core Volunteers and Team Builders completed the fit-out of the home to get it ready for the Toledo family. The Toledo family moved to the Lehigh Valley in 2012 to give their children a better life. Mr. and Mrs. Toledo work locally and saw the Habitat homeownership program as an opportunity to own their home. They wanted to stay in the north side of Bethlehem; however, when they applied in 2013, Habitat LV had only ever built one home on the north side of Bethlehem. Mr. Toledo prayed about this and his prayers were rewarded when the Bethlehem Redevelopment Authority contacted Habitat LV about the property on Garrison Street. Mr. and Mrs. Toledo started the work of each doing 250 hours of “sweat equity” in their home and on other Habitat LV projects. “In 2013, not too long after applying, we received a call that we were accepted. We were all so extremely happy. We cried tears of joy. Shortly after, we started our sweat equity hours, which we have learned so much from,” said Mrs. Toledo. The Toledo’s met a firm set of guidelines and program requirements to get the mortgage with Habitat LV. These include mentoring, sweat equity, and financial guidelines set out by the Family Selection Committee and Board of Directors of Habitat LV. Habitat homes are sold to families at 0% interest which helps the family with long term security and wealth building. “All of us here at Habitat are
just so pleased that the Toledo’s are moving into their new home. They are wonderful people who are working hard at the american dream. I am so proud of our community for supporting the Toledo’s through their support of Habitat,” said Holly Edinger, executive director. The construction of this home was made possible by two major sources of funding. They are City of Bethlehem and Thrivent Financial. Thrivent Financial Services is a unique financial services company that focuses on investment and wealth management with the greater good and God in mind. Their dedication to this project was a financial investment of $60,000 and volunteer hours. The balance of the funding for
Over 35 Yrs. Experience
this home came from the City of Bethlehem HOME funds. Volunteer hours are the other major key to making Habitat projects happen. This home is the result of approximately 2,700 hours of volunteer time. The Habitat New Construction Core Volunteer Team is comprised of 10-15 people who dedicate two to three days each week to work on Habitat homes. In addition, there were several local companies that donated time through a Team Build. Team Builds for this project comprised another 62 hours of volunteer time that came from 11 companies and eight church groups. There were also 13 companies that donated Continued on page 13 License # PA003267

Home Improvement
Easy decluttering tips (NAPSI)—Even the cleanest home will look messy if it’s not properly organized. Jule Eller, director of trend and style at Lowe’s, says there are a few simple ways to declutter your home and make your space look tidy. Start by assessing each room. Every home and family is different but kitchens, garages and
closets tend to get the messiest the fastest. A kitchen is a gathering place for everyone in the family, so it can become cluttered with everything from backpacks and junk mail to cereal bowls and pizza boxes. Cabinets and pantries can also become cluttered with too many dishes, utensils and spices,
but installing a Rev-A-Shelf basket from Lowe’s makes it easy to keep things neat. If you have a garage, you know it’s tempting to simply stash away bulky or rarely used items in it, rather than find a space inside your home. But if you make a habit of doing this, you could eventually run out of room to park your car. To avoid that from happening, put a Kobalt cabinet or rail system in your garage to transform it into a functional storage space. While closets aren’t rooms, they can definitely become a cluttered nightmare. Some people think if the door can close, there’s still room for storage. Don’t let closets get to that point—you’ll be a better person for it. Here are a few additional tips for sprucing up your home while keeping it functional and orderly: 1. Rearrange furniture to maximize the space in each room. • The sofa in the living room,
opening up a space. If you’re lucky enough to have natural light, let it shine in. • Recessed spot lighting is visually appealing and is perfect for a small space. • A torchère lamp is great for bouncing light off the ceiling and back down on the room. • Skylights and solar tubes are natural alternatives for adding light to a space. • Increase the appearance of the size of the room by adding mirrors. They not only reflect images, but also reflect light and color while adding a decorative element to the room. 3. Use storage products to help you get organized. • If shelving and closet organization kits aren’t enough, keep clothes in storage bins. If you have too much, hold a garage sale or donate items to charity. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t worn it in two years, it’s time to let it go. • Store your utensils in an orderly fashion. Inexpensive baskets and bins work for oddly shaped items or small appliances. Keep stemware, plates and bowls grouped by function, style and shape. This will not only create a uniform look, but save time when meal prep is in full swing. • You always have the option to build custom solutions, but sometimes that forces you to choose between style and functionality. If you’d rather not sacrifice one or the other, Lowe’s offers a wide variety of products that allow you to have both. Ultimately, it’s important to remember to not bite off more than you can chew. One of the biggest mistakes people make when decluttering is not setting realistic goals on the front end. Come up with a plan before diving in. Look at the room as a whole and then focus on one corner at a time. Once progress is being made, it will motivate you to keep going.
the bed in the bedroom and the desk in the office demand the majority of space available. Arrange these pieces first. • Don’t place too many pieces of furniture in a small space. A love seat may work better than a full-size sofa depending on the size and shape of the room. • When creating areas for conversation, keep furniture pieces within eight feet of each other so people can talk comfortably when seated. If possible, keep these pieces facing each other instead of side by side. • With seating used for reading, remember to incorporate a light, whether it’s a floor lamp or an end table with a lamp on it. 2. Create the illusion of space by adding lighting and mirrors. • Lighting is a key element in

smile and sometimes treated the floor managers to supper at Hommer’s Restaurant on Main Street. The motto of the company was “Always give customers friendly service.” The 5&10 cent store was a gathering place for friends to meet, especially on a Saturday night. The store carried a variety of items including dresses from stores in New York. You could purchase a baby gift or a parakeet, a pair of jeans or a pound of candy, a bottle of Blue Waltz perfume or the latest rock and roll 45 record. It was a place where a single father of three boys could afford to outfit them with jeans and shirts for their first day of school. The 5&10 cent store—I sure miss the convenience of that great institution as it disappears from the scene to be replaced by the big conglomerate stores in the mall.

The 5&10 Cent Store
The closing of the last of the 5&10 stores stirred my memory back to the G.C. Murphy Store on Belvidere Street, which served the people of Nazareth for a good many years. It was a great place for high school girls to get a chance to experience the workplace. In the mid 1950s the starting pay for a part-timer was $0.48 per hour. It wasn’t much but it helped pay for a teenager’s needs such as makeup, hair ribbons and barrettes. I usually spent most of my paycheck on goodies in the store. The full-time ladies took us under their wings and showed us how to ring up sales on the cash register. Lillian, Mabel, Mazzie, Leah, Kuhla, Edna and Esther taught us how to weigh out candy and cookies, to measure and cut window shades and how to keep our counters stocked. The store opened at 23-25 Belvidere Street in 1936 with its main headquarters in McKeesport, Pa. The storeowner encouraged employees with a friendly
