Looking by Back Ed Pany Kohl-a-daal series Part 4
This series is dedicated to the memory of Leona Sabia whose life is a major part of this series. In today’s column, we are on the Tilghman Vogel farm on Stagecoach Road, north of Kreidersville. Tilghman’s wife, Ella, is a descendant of Heinrich Kohl, former farmer and veteran of the Revolutionary War whose commander was Col. John Siegfried. They had two daughters, Virginia and Leona. Another daughter, Baby Vogel, died two days after birth. Locals called Tilghman “Tillie.” He was both a farmer and an employee of Phoenix Forge in Catasauqua. The farm was a real family affair. It had a small dairy herd, so Tilghman hauled the milk early each morning to Northampton. Do our readers remember the Northampton Dairy on Washington Avenue? It was owned by John Simcoe. Other past dairies included Howertown Dairy, Freemans and the large one, Lehigh Valley Dairy on MacArthur Road. The farm included ducks, geese, chickens, pigs, horses and goats over the years. Ella cultivated a large gar-

den and cleaned chickens and ducks to sell as well as eggs. Talk about a busy farm! Mr. Vogel was also always ready to help his neighbors. In his early days, he recalled when the men of the area joined together with snow shovels to open Indian Trail Road during snow storms, so farmers could deliver their milk to local dairies. On a historical note, the men who were part of the Walking Purchase in 1737 walked past the farm. The last of the three walkers, Edward Marshall, completed the historic walk, which ended a few miles west of Lehighton, Carbon County. Mr. Vogel helped erect the historical marker to commemorate the event. The marker stands a short distance from the farm. Mr. Vogel also learned how to shoe horses from a neighbor. Tillie became a farmer/farrier. His work and low fees brought many customers - $2 a shoe, $8 for a horse. His work satisfied many horse owners. Tillie’s last job was at Phoenix Forge in Catasauqua. His pay was $65 a week. This writer
By CAROL BEAR The first house tour was Dec. 5, 1981. I was on maternity leave with my second child and the Governor Wolf Historical Society had just purchased its second historic building, the Ralston-McKeen House. The purchase price was only $10,000 because the building was in shambles. But the society needed a fundraiser to pay it off and I had time on my hands – and the Governor Wolf Historical Society Christmas House Tour was born. I remember pitching the idea for the tour in the lower level of the Bath Jaycees building in Bath, the old Presbyterian Church on Walnut Street. That was where the society met since neither the Wolf Academy or the Ralston-McKeen

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.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Health is Personal by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC
Don’t be misled, charmed, or fooled- your health is and always will be as personal as it gets. Don’t make a mistake in letting your health become defined by any particular person, program, diet, product, prescription, group, or organization. This includes spouses, friends, family, doctor, anyone or anything that attempts to capture and contain your growth and progress, including our government. I guess this is the part where I should counter my statements and say that there are agencies, programs, etcetera that can make a difference. However, we need a fresh perspective, a generational type perspective that goes far beyond our weekly weigh-ins, daily calorie count, sugar level, or even our blood work. While understanding and moni-
toring such is important, have we truly forgotten that mankind has survived thousands of years without so much as a refrigerator? I can imagine our ancestors coming upon the most incredible berries only to hesitate to consume as they wonder if they have had enough sugar intake for the day. That’s preposterous of course, yet so is much of the way we think and act in this time. Now, like back then, just eat the berries and move on quickly before a sabre tooth tiger bears down... When I say that health is personal, that doesn’t mean secretive or solo. Just keep it personal. As in, “This is who I am and what I do, (or now I do), and it is not for debate anymore.” I have been in the practice of health and healing for more than

20 years and counting. I have witnessed too much baloney in the health improvement category. I can say with some relative authority that by and large, much of what has always been effective is a “steady as she goes” mentality and has very little to do with some doctor or health care professional telling you what to do. You need to start thinking for yourself again and reclaim the lost art of common sense. The information that keeps coming at us is just noise, distractions in fact, from our main purpose, that being improved natural health. Have you ever looked to see just how much research on health and nutrition is being pumped out on a regular basis? Or how about the plethora of books, magazines and other media platforms that spew nutrition information at nauseam? Are we better off for it? I don’t think we are. Clearly research on the topic is important. Nobody would disagree as long as boundaries are set, yet none really are. It’s as if once something new is discovered, a profit center is not too far behind. Do you really need scientific experimenters to tell you what’s in an apple before you will eat it? Does an apple need to have full disclosure of its constituents before it can do you good once eaten? Of course not-that’s crazy talk. Just eat the apple already. (Nowadays it’s probably four a day…) The take away this week is to simply understand that your health really matters. Yes, your spouse’s health matters. So do your parents’, your kids’, your friends’, and everyone else; yet let’s stick to you for the moment- your health matters. This
isn’t selfish to say or to feel. Your ability to thrive and maintain good health is a foundation on which the rest of your life is a springboard upon. Take time to truly ruminate on the simple truth that your health is extremely personal and worth pursuing. My best to you. "Natural Perspectives" is a health commentary only and does not claim to diagnose and/ or make treatment recommendations. Always seek the advice of your health care professional.
Moore Township Board of Supervisors Review Ordinances And traffic Study results
By CHRISTINA SANTO The Moore Township Board of Supervisors met on Wednesday, July 7 to discuss ordinances and traffic study results. Solicitor David Backentstoe prepared a tentative bamboo ordinance for discussion purposes after the township received complaints about their neighbor’s bamboo encroaching on their property. Simply put, the
www.HomeNewsPA.com
ordinance states that a resident wishing to have bamboo planted in their yard must keep it from spreading to adjoining properties by using a barrier made of metal, plastic, or other impermeable materials. One resident stated that he did not think a bamboo ordinance was necessary since it’s not an area of public concern; further, two private property owners can resolve the issue between themselves with the help of the magistrate. Another resident wondered why bamboo is even allowed to begin with since it is an invasive species. The board passed a motion that will allow attorney Backenstoe to advertise the ordinance. Next, the board approved Ordinance 2021-02: Livestock. This ordinance was drafted after the police chief encountered goats, cows, and other livestock in the roads on a few occasions. The ordinance prohibits livestock owners to allow their livestock to run at large through the township unless accompanied and controlled by the owner; it also requires that livestock owners properly contain their livestock through fencing that will not allow them to have free range. Moore Township’s current warehouse ordinance was created in 2019, and the board is looking to strengthen it following requests from residents at the June 28 planning commission meetContinued on page 5

ing. One way to regulate warehouses in the township would be to list them as a conditional use, rather than a by-right use, according to solicitor Backenstoe. A conditional use is a permitted use that requires the applicant to comply with further conditions set forth by the board of supervisors. Other requirements discussed include a minimum lot size based on the warehouse’s size, having access points at least 250 feet from houses, maximum warehouse height, and further berm requirements around the lot. Following the approval of the board, attorney Backenstoe will draft an ordinance that will be reviewed by the planning commission at their next meeting, and then move forward to the board of supervisors. The ordinance will make warehousing a conditional use, and add regulation based on the recommendation of the engineer, Hanover Engineering’s Phil Malitsch, and township residents. Kevin Horvath, the township’s engineer, presented the findings of the Dell Road traffic study, which was conducted at the request of the board to “determine if it would be appropriate to post W. Dell Road as restricted to trucks due to the [deteriorating] condition of the road.” The study took into account traffic counts, and the roadway geometry, width, and condition; it was determined that the road does not have suitable conditions for supporting truck traffic. An ordinance will be drafted by Backenstoe to post signage prohibiting truck traffic on W. Dell Road between Copella Road and Moorestown Drive. One sign will be posted at each end of the road, facing each of the aforementioned roadways. Horvath also recommended that the township coordinate with PennDOT on placing additional signage on Community Drive and Moorestown Road ahead of the intersections to give truck drivers fair warning. In other business, the board accepted the resignation of Emergency Management Coordinator David Ohl, effective June 11, 2021, and are looking for a replacement.

BATH AREA
House History Continued from page 1
House was suitable for meetings. Both buildings had no heat, no water, dirt floor, inside debris, weeds and rotted wood – but good bones and vital to the historic story of the early Scots-Irish settlers and all Pennsylvanians. The society members loved the tour idea except when I got to the topic of volunteering in the houses. They all wanted to go on the tour, not work it. The inspiration for the tour came from a tour I took in
Fairmont Park in Philadelphia at Christmas time. Each historic house in the park tour was decorated by a garden club or florist and it made the experience magical. So I set out to do the same for historic buildings in the Bath area. That first tour had 14 places to visit – 10 private homes and four other buildings with nine florists and two garden clubs decorating. Six of the buildings were located in the Borough of Bath. The cost of the tour was only $5. The printed tour booklet had 16 pages with sketches of each build-
ing drawn by my sister Linda Bear and myself. I remember mailing her the house photographs and she mailed back her artwork. The front cover features a sketch of the 1804 Daniel Steckel House in Bath, a house listed on the National Register. Over its 39-year history, the tour has opened over 300 eighteenth and nineteenth century homes in the Bath area documenting our rich heritage. Many features of the tour remain the same – only historic buildings included, tour booklet, hand drawn house sketches, articles for each building
containing history and owner’s aspirations, and Christmas and floral decorations. Today the tour features 10 historic buildings – six private homes, the three society buildings and the Siegfried log cabin in Bath. At the society site the craft day has evolved into a Family His-
tory Day with artisan demonstrations, re-enactors, carolers, and museum exhibits. Join the Governor Wolf Historical Society on Saturday, Dec. 4, 2021 for the 40th Christmas House Tour. Be a part of preserving the rich heritage of our area.

National Museum Of Industrial History receives $100,000 Grant from Air Products
Submitted by GLENN KOEHLER The National Museum of Industrial History (NMIH) announced that it received a $100,000 grant from the Air Products Foundation to educate future generations of entrepreneurs and inventors, highlight the importance of industrial safety in our past, present and future and introduce a new outdoor venue to the Lehigh Valley. Safety has played a significant role in the history of American industry and continues to be of ever-increasing importance in modern manufacturing. As the museum's official Safety Sponsor, Air Products will support new and enhanced features that highlight the everevolving story of safety in industry throughout the museum's galleries, digital spaces, public programs and new outdoor park. A world-leading industrial gases company with over 80 years of prioritizing safety and sustainability, Air Products is a key community partner in bringing the past, present and future of the safety story to museum visitors of all ages. The grant will also support a new community space, the Air Products Pavilion, located in the museum's upcoming Foundry Park. The 17,000-square foot park, which will nearly double the organization's exhibit space, is set to open this summer.

Rental Car Scams
Submitted by STEVE GARDNER America is open for business again and millions of people are
traveling, or planning to. One thing you may run into is sticker shock – especially with rental cars. The lack of travel in 2020 led rental companies to sell a lot of their inventory of cars. Now that demand has spiked, supply is tight and prices are high. Unfortunately, criminals are paying attention and posting fake rental car deals at rock bottom prices online. While everyone loves a good deal, doing business with an entity you aren’t familiar with could be risky. Whatever your travel needs, stick to reputable websites with proven track records. If you do find a deal with an unfamiliar provider, do your research: look up the company name with “scam” or “complaint” and see what appears, and check out reviews. Be a fraud fighter. If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam.

Upper Nazareth Getting Quotes for New AC in Police station
by JOE KORBA After the Pledge of Allegiance, a very brief meeting of the Upper Nazareth Board of Supervisors was held on July 7. Brian Sayago, a candidate for the Board of Supervisors, was the first to speak. Sayago noted that he previously pushed for open-space initiatives and is happy to see them finally happening. He asked to be considered for the environmental committee that is being formed in the borough. “I want to respect our agricultural heritage and the rights of property owners,” Sayago said. Lisa Klem, Upper Nazareth
Township Manager, was the next to address agenda items, beginning with appointing members to the Environmental Advisory Committee. She said they have eight applicants for seven seats, and it is up to the board to appoint a chairperson. The item was ultimately tabled until a future meeting while supervisors review the applicants. Klem also noted that the air conditioning in the police station had broken earlier in the day, one of the hottest of the summer so far. She said Burkholder’s Heating and Air Conditioning was able to come out and make emergency repairs, although they said that the 12-year-old unit may “last one day or it may last 10 years” after replacing a relay. Klem is planning on getting some quotes on replacing the older, inefficient system for the board in a coming meeting. A motion was also made to sell the borough’s old road-side mower to another township for a winning bid of $5,700. The motion passed unanimously. The next Upper Nazareth Board of Supervisors meeting will be held on July 21 at 7 p.m. Meetings are in-person with an option to watch virtually. Information is available on the borough website.

Friendly Fire
By FRANKLIN HOMME During WWII, veterans were killed by friendly fire. Family and friends ask what is being killed by friendly fire? It’s when a veteran is accidentally killed by their own people. This happens in all wars. The average person can’t imagine what it’s like when someone knocks on your door and tells you, “Your son or your daughter was killed by friendly fire.” The first thing you may ask is, “How could this happen?”
www.HomeNewsPA.com
During WWII in Finland they wondered, “Where will we find room to bury them all?” And asked how many were killed by friendly fire? Neville Chamberlain was duped in the months leading up to WWII. As Prime Minister, he appressed Hitler – thinking Hitler was just trying to regain Germany’s rightful land. But Hitler was out to kill anyone in his way- killing thousands of people. Neville Chamberlain had to declare war- no choice. Anthony, in 1985, was charged with two murders and he was miles away from where this happened. He was charged - and in all he forgave all the people who lied about him but put him on death row. Finally, on Good Friday 2015- Anthony’s conviction was overturned by U. S. Supreme court. We need to be careful what we say about people who can be in jail. Today anyone can damage you and your life. Why do you sometimes cling to negative judgements about others? What experiences have you had of “being wrong” about someone? Only with God’s help will you get your life back (Proverbs10:12). In a documentary on WWII, the monitor said that if Britain’s casualties in “the war to end all wars” were marched for abreast past London’s war monument, the processional would take seven days to complete. This awful cost of war, both soldiers and civilians pay the ultimate price, multiplied exponentially by the grief of the survivors. War is costly. We all saw or heard of the movie “Hacksaw Ridge,” about a soldier in the Army who refuses to carry a weapon into battle. He was trained as a medic, and was a young Christian. He had no qualms about facing combat, but his goal was to save lives. He was in the WW11 Battle of Okinawa and saved many lives. He prayed, “Lord, give me the strength to save just one more wounded soldier.” In the Army, a sergeant’s stripes are not necessarily a reward for sacrifice. He may consider them an honor, but that may not be the case. However, a Purple Heart is an honor for which he can justly be proud. In God’s army, the only stripes any soldier wears are the stripes of suffering which scars the flesh. Paul had many scars. Scars from gashes caused by stoning when enemies of Christ sought to kill Him. Too many Christians are afraid to take a stand for anything (Galatian 6:7). But if we wear no scars, we do not wear the stripes of honor which mark the true saints who challenge Satan in his very strong holds. It takes a long time, when we lose a loved one in serving, to recover. But one thing we learned is that in spite of all the bad circumstances, in spite of the pain, God offers His presence to us in life’s darkest moments. Forgiveness is a strength, an impossible thing. In our pain, loss of a daughter or son, it’s hard to imagine the possibility. He will teach us love who hurts us (Col3:13,14)- (I Peter 4:8) - (I John 4:16).

en remodeled by Kitchen Magic during June 2021 through June 2022, a donation of five trees will be planted on the customer’s behalf to a forest in need. Kitchen Magic expects to donate a minimum of 10,000 trees for planting during the campaign. Every year millions of acres of trees are destroyed by logging and natural events ranging from natural disasters to weather to deforestation. Kitchen Magic’s specialty is cabinet refacing, a remodeling process that consists of maintaining and utilizing a kitchen’s existing cabinet boxes so that customers need only replace cabinet doors and drawers and laminating the existing cabinet to match. For more than 40 years, many of the company’s kitchen designs and projects promoted and executed by have vastly improved its ecological footprint. Refacing uses 75% of a kitchen’s existing material, making it a cost-effective way to upgrade the look of the kitchen, while also creating a more sustainable alternative to a full cabinet replacement.
“We are genuinely excited for this partnership and have received positive feedback from our customers on the program, especially amid the ongoing lumber shortage,” said John Lamberti, Director of Marketing, Kitchen Magic. “Sustainability has always been a pillar of our mission and this partnership aligns perfectly with our commitment to protecting the environment.” Kitchen Magic serves the Northeast and has proudly sourced from U.S.A. suppliers wherever possible and utilizing local talent for their manufacturing employees, designers and contractors.
