NORTHAMPTON COMMUNITY DAYS
Looking by Back Ed Pany Life in the ‘20s and ‘30s
Northampton residents come out For Community Days fun By KERI LINDENMUTH The 38th Annual Northampton Community Days Fair was held by the Northampton Exchange Club from July 11 to July 15 at The Northampton Municipal Park Complex. The five-day event was filled with fair food favorites, rides for the entire family, musical performances on two stages, face paint-
ing, puppet shows, bingo by the Bath Lions Club, a beer tent, and more. Proceeds from the event benefited the Exchange Club’s community projects. In addition to flying high in the Paratrooper, spinning circles in the Teacups, and getting dizzy in the Scrambler, fair-goers could also try their luck at games of balloon darts, can knock downs,
and basketball. Performances included sets by the Balancing Art Quartet, Swing Time Dolls, Lucky 7, the Emil Shanta Band, Transmission NOW, Social Call, Flirtin’ with the Mob, and Flamin’ Dick and the Hot Rods. Meanwhile, a fireworks show lit up the fair’s final night.

Life in the ‘20s and ‘30s in Northampton, Coplay, Cementon, Catasauqua and our neighboring communities involved many of our families working in the cement, steel and silk industries. In Northampton many residents were employed at the Atlas Portland Cement Co. When Bill Heberling was a young man, his father told him “to dress up because he was going for a job.” They walked out to the Atlas and sat in the employment office. Bath, Coplay, Whitehall and Lehigh Cement were hiring in 1922. Mr. Preston Everett looked at young Heberling and said, “If you’re as good as your father, we’ll give you a job.” He started in the Atlas Bag Factory, the present Northampton Banquet Center. His job was to tie cloth cement bags. The boys tied 6,000 bags a day at the rate of 50 cents per thousand bags. Their goal was to earn three dollars a day, quite a payday. Some days the boys delayed eating so they could meet the quota. In those days the cement plant paid in cash. At Atlas, thousands of employees were paid from a pay car, a railroad car that moved through the plant. Employees would line up at the car, show their brass checks with a number and receive payment in a brown envelope. Most boys took the money home and gave the cash to their parents. If your parents gave you two dollars you were a millionaire. Boys were hired at age 14. The workweek was six 9-hour days with one day at the Central Building, which was called a Continuation School. There English and American history was taught to the students. Many young men were sons of immigrant parents. The ‘20s were a prosperous era in the United States, but lifestyles changed drastically with the ad-
vent of the Great Depression. Massive unemployment saw millions of able-bodied young men and women on the unemployment rolls. The WPA Works Progress Administration attempted to provide jobs for Americans. Mr. Heberling’s father worked for the agency. Most jobs were manual labor. His crew constructed the cement rock walls around the Atlas quarry on Route 329. Mr. Heberling had been earning $110 a month at the Atlas, which he called “big money.” His son worked part time in a shoe facContinued on page 7

Manage water where It falls for a healthier Landscape and Environment
By Melinda Myers Too much, not enough, and never when you need it. This is a common complaint of gardeners. Keeping and using water where it falls is the first step in managing this precious resource. Planting and maintaining a healthy landscape is a good place to start. Trees, shrubs, groundcovers and other plantings improve water quality and reduce storm water runoff. The plants capture nutrients, preventing them from leaching through the soil. A dense covering of greenery and mulch helps prevent soil erosion and keeps phosphorous and other pollutants out of our waterways. Incorporate native plants whenever possible. Not only are most adapted to the local growing conditions, but many have deep root systems that open pathways through the soil. These openings allow the water to penetrate the soil surface, providing moisture to plant roots on the way to recharging the groundwater. And as the old roots die they add organic matter to the soil, increasing its ability to absorb rainwater. Adding more organic matter in the form of compost will also increase the soil’s ability
to absorb water; reducing surface water runoff into the street and storm sewer. Compost also helps capture contaminates so they don’t leach into our waterways or get absorbed by plants. Capture rain falling onto your roof with rain barrels to use for watering containers and ornamental plantings. Start with a call to your local municipality. Some restrict the use of these water-collecting devices, while most offer incentives and rebates for including them in your landscape. Make your own rain barrel from a food grade container or purchase one from your local garden center, retail outlet or online garden supply company. Select rain barrels suited to your landscape design. Purchase one of the more decorative barrels, turn a plain barrel into garden art with a bit of paint or mask it with a few plants. And don’t worry about mosquitoes. Just toss a donut shaped cake of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), such as Summit® Mosquito Dunks® (SummitResponsibleSolutions.com), into the rain barrel. This naturally occurring bacteria only kills the larvae of mosquitoes, black flies and fungus gnats. It won’t harm
people, pets, fish or other wildlife. Consider adding these to areas subject to periods of standing water. One dunk provides control of a 100-square-feet surface of water for 30 days. The hole in the middle allows you to stake the dunk in place, preventing it from being washed away in heavy rains. It remains in place and provides control when the area is flooded again. Add beauty and prevent surface water runoff with a rain garden. These gardens are located and designed to intercept the water running off walks, drives and the lawn before it enters the street and storm sewer. The water percolates through and is filtered by the plant roots and soil before entering the groundwater. Do a bit of research before digging in. Proper placement, soil preparation and plant selection are essential to success. Managing water where it falls is not only good for your garden, but also the environment. You’ll enjoy the beautiful surroundings and know you made a difference by incorporating one or more of these strategies in your landscape.

Allen Planning Commission Discusses proposed 55+ development By KERI LINDENMUTH The Allen Township Planning Commission met with developer Ed Deichmeister during their monthly meeting on Monday, July 16. Deichmeister, who was accompanied by his attorney Al Peirce, is planning to develop 58 units in three separate multi-family dwellings. The units would be marketed toward residents 55 and older, though not restricted to that demographic. One lot would hold 18 units and two would hold 20. “It is a little unique…most of the Lehigh Valley has not seen a development like this,” Deichmeister said. Deichmeister was seeking clarification from the commission on a zoning ordinance that requires lots to hold no more than eight to twelve units. “These units are going to be small units,” he reasoned. Each, he said, would only hold one bedroom and be between 600 and 900 square feet. However, the commission said it has no power to interpret zoning or SALDO rules. Deichmeister would have to seek a written recommendation from the township’s zoning officer. The same goes for the property’s open space allotment. Deichmeister and Pierce asked whether open space is applicable. Township attorney Lincoln Treadwell said zoning would require 1,000 square feet of open space per unit, totaling 58,000 square feet. Deichmeister said he is only building on 37 percent of the land he owns in the township and that he already has 11.55 acres of open space. However, this open space, planning commission chairman Eugene Clater said, only counts
if it is open to the public, which Deichmeister said it currently is not. Deichmesiter and Peirce said they will discuss alternatives with the township zoning officer. If they are unhappy with the recommendation, they will appeal to the zoning hearing board. Representatives from Jaindl Watson also met with the planning commission on July 16 to go over waiver requests for their land development plan for a series of warehouses along Howertown and Seemsville Roads. Many of the waiver requests had previously been discussed by the township’s board of supervisors the week prior. Bruce Anderson, project manager, presented the requests to the board. Among those that were granted included changing the drainage ditch slope from two percent to one percent, deferring sidewalks on the development’s north side, substituting a waterline in lieu of improvements to Mud Lane, increasing the width of the development’s access drive from 28 feet to 36 feet, and dedicating 40.33 acres of open space to the township. Commissioners discussed potentially connecting this open space to nearby parks. Commissioner Gary Krill suggested building a boardwalk over the property’s wetlands, instead of leaving open space “stranded” without any access for the public. Commission Gary Behler agreed. “Maybe we do not do something right away, but we put in place something we can do in the future,” he said. Representatives from Jaindl Watson agreed and expressed that they are willing to discuss options with the township.
Allen Township calls for Meeting with East Allen By KERI LINDENMUTH The new Jaindl Watson warehouse development along Seemsville and Howertown Roads has spurred Allen Township supervisors to request a joint meeting with supervisors in neighboring East Allen Township. Jaindl, at PennDOT’s request, has proposed to shift Seemsville Road to the east, into East Allen territory. Old Seemsville Road would be turned into a cul-de-sac and become an Allen Township road. However, a new retention basin and traffic signal would be required, prompting Allen Township to request a meeting with East Allen to decide on their ownership. “East Allen has to be at the table,” said Supervisor Gary Behler. Supervisor Dale Hassler agreed. “You say, legally, one thing but
morally…[I] cannot tell East Allen to put a stoplight there [on their property],” he said. While the issue of Seemsville Road was not one supervisors felt they could approve without East Allen’s input, supervisors did agree upon other plans included in the Jaindl Watson development. One of those plans was to provide a 5,000 foot water main to East Allen Gardens in lieu of making frontage improvements to Mud Lane. “We are getting a much better benefit,” said Behler. Jaindl also promised to dedicate 40.33 acres of woodland to the township in lieu of five acres of open space. This land would be a conservation easement. Jaindl also said that land may be open Continued on page 5

Manners I take my 92-year-old mother places quite often. She walks with a walker or wheelchair and I can’t believe how courteous people are to us when we are on the road. Recently, we went to breakfast and there was a big family of 12 coming in the door. She went towards the door and two men in the group made everyone else stop and held the doors for her. I have a saying when this happens: “I want to thank your mother for teaching you good manners.” They giggled and my mom thanked them and we were on our way. Seriously, it happens all the time. A fine young gentleman was raised more than likely by a fine set of parents. Sometimes we forget how polite people can be. The same translates to your small business. Do you have courteous employees who would not only open a door for an elderly woman, but take the time to use their manners, give you extraordinary customer service and bend over backwards to make sure you have a pleasant experience? Here are some simple ideas from Miss Manners. Miss Manners, specializing in etiquette, served as the language and currency of civility, etiquette reducing those inevitable frictions of everyday life that, unchecked, are increasingly erupting into outbursts, a by-product
of a manners-free existence. These unpleasant developments have bred a nationwide call — for a return to common courtesy. I’m in. Miss Manners hopes: 1. You will try really hard to smile when delivering a message. 2. You won’t offend people, or they will stop coming to your business. 3. When someone’s behavior is unbearable, you will handle it. 4. When someone tries to help you your response will not be rude. 5. You will just be a gentle responder, no matter what. Let’s look a how our employees treat and greet their customers and train them to have extraordinary manners. Or, next time you go out and about and you prefer that people go over and above for you, just take my mom, it works every time.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip What wonderful weather we’ve been having the past week or so. It just begs you to go outside and bask in the sunshine. It was perfect for the Catholic church picnic in town and the Community Days Fair over in Northampton. Now, if it can only hold off for a bit more we’ll get the Bath Community Days event in. It runs from this Saturday, July 21 through Saturday, July 28. When they say “community” they really mean it – motorcyclists having a memorial ride from the Bath Social Hall on S. Walnut St. with a block party there on opening day and night, then up on Holiday Hill where Carl Rehrig Park is located for Kids Night on Monday, a Business/Merchants Day on Tuesday, a pig roast over at Keystone Park next Wednesday, two family ride nights next Thursday and Friday, and a 5K race down at Ciff Cowling Field, and ending with fireworks next Saturday night. It should really be a fun
week for everybody, from kids on up, with lots of entertainment. . . .The Major Leagues’ All-Star Game was this week and a Home Run Derby, too, both at Nationals Park where the ball was flying out for the Minor Leagues AllStars earlier. I watched the Phillies on Sunday and when they got five runs, I thought, maybe we’d gain another game on the Braves. So what happened? They got bombed in the same inning by the Marlins. EIGHT runs. What a disappointment! I almost turned ‘em off, but I didn’t. Here’s hoping they straighten out their defense, and do more hitting and more consistent pitching in the second half. . . . The weather has been great, too, for the farmers’ markets in Bath, Nazareth and Northampton, so folks can enjoy their outdoor shopping for farmraised vegetables and fruit, and all the other things they sell . . . . Ye Olde Editor remembers that Bath fire fighters ambulance (in last week’s paper) from more than 35 years ago when he was brought back from Gnaden Huetten Hospital in Lehighton with a broken back in a fall, when a ladder collapsed as he was picking cherries.

Manager Hired in Moore for Twsp., a first For them By HOME NEWS STAFF
In a 2-1 vote, Moore Township’s Board of Supervisors has appointed its first ever Township Manager. Nicholas Steiner, 30, of Lehigh Township, who has worked the past five years in the Governor’s Budget Office in Harrisburg as an executive budget specialist, was named to the post. His starting salary will be $70,000. Voting for Steiner were Supervisors chairman Daniel Piorkowski and vice chairman David Shaffer. The negative vote was by secretary/treasurer Richard Gable, who felt it was not in the best interest of the township at this time, after a number of meetings and interviews over recent months. There were 14 applicants for the position. Gable will retain his post as secretary/ treasurer at a yearly salary of $57,000 at $28 an hour with a longevity bonus given at end of term. Steiner is a 2010 graduate of Lehigh University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and religion studies, and a Master’s degree in public administration from Penn State University. Moore Township was the only local municipality without a manager. Steiner said, “It’s an opportunity to move the township toward a modern governmental structure.”

Bath sets sights on West Northampton Street Renovations next year By KERI LINDENMUTH After what Borough of Bath Supervisor Mark Saginario called a “disappointing” and “disheartening” meeting with PennDOT about the proposed Route 248 re-alignment project, the Borough of Bath is making plans to renovate West Northampton Street itself. The Route 248 re-alignment project was scheduled by PennDOT for 2019 and 2020. This project would include upgrades to West Northampton Street. However, PennDOT told borough officials it is currently revisiting those plans, which means the upgrades can be delayed for several more years. “We as a council need to make a decision,” said Saginario. “We did not have it in the budget [because] the state and county were supposed to take over.” Now, he says, that is not going to happen. “I think we try to do some-
thing with that road next year. We have to,” he added. Borough Manager Brad Flynn, Mayor Mirabito, and other members of council agreed. “[The road] is extremely bad now,” said Mayor Mirabito. Flynn said the cost to upgrade the road could range anywhere from $80,000 to $100,000. He said a bid should be put out in early 2019 so work can begin next summer or fall. “It is going to be big,” he said. However, council worried about the condition of the road for one of the borough’s biggest events of the summer: Spuds and Suds. The borough’s public works team is currently cold patching the road before the event. However, with PennDOT’s delays, the borough is ready to take the road’s larger improvements into its own hands.

tory for four dollars a day. A neighbor was hired by the Howertown Dairy delivering milk for 12 dollars a week. The workday started at 4 a.m. and ended when all the milk was delivered to homes. Our younger readers probably never experienced milk on their steps at 6 a.m. each morning. Milk was bottled in glass bottles and most purchases were on credit. Milk sold for eight cents a quart. The workday was 12 hours a day but there was another problem-the driver was responsible for collecting the milk bills which was very difficult. If they didn’t collect the money, it was deducted from their salary. One can only image the challenges of the job. Another federal agency was the PWA Progress Works Administration, which was headed by a name forgotten in history, “Honest Harold Eckes.” Mr. Eckes served as Secretary of the Interior longer than anyone in history. Known for accountability and frugality, he was probably the most efficient government official in our history. One local project was the Wild Creek Dam, the current Bethlehem Water Authority. Bill Heberling and the Shellock boys from Northampton worked on the dam. Pay was four dollars a day to pick rocks out of the ground for the dam breast. They paid 50 cents a day to be transported to the site, and so it was during the Great Depression.

years,” he said. A Lehigh Township resident and Fire Police Captain, Barry Fry, also spoke in favor of the new building. “All I ask is that we look at this [plan]. As an exOSHA inspector, I would have failed your current building in a heartbeat.” The board agreed that they need to look at all of the information available on the project and figure out the best option for financing it. The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be on July 24 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building.

Meetings Continue Through July 20
We invite you to attend our special meetings with the Jimmy J. Millikin Evangelistic and Musical Family of Claremore, OK, continuing through July 20. Monday and Tuesday evenings, July 1617, will be at Northampton Assembly of God on Cherryville Road in Northampton. Then, the services will continue Wednesday through Friday evenings, July 18-20, in a tent at the 26th Street Playground next to Redner’s Market in Northampton on Cherryville Road. The services will be at 7:00 p.m. each night. Pastor and Mrs. Daniel Lundmark are in their 50th year of ministry at the church, and this tent meeting is reminiscent of the beginning of their ministry when they worked in tent meetings in the South. They began pastoring at the Northampton Assembly of God the last Sunday of 1968. They have seen the faithfulness of God through the years, and they have witnessed God’s working in many lives throughout these decades. But while they are very thankful for all that the Lord has done, they are very aware that there are many more who need to experience the transforming touch of God in their lives. It is for this reason that our church is sponsoring this tent meeting— as a testimony to the faithfulness of God and as an outreach to the community where lives can be transformed by God’s power. Our congregation is praying that the Lord will use the Millikin family to be a blessing to all who attend. While these services will feature lively, melodious music, uplifting congregational singing of the hymns of the faith, and joyful worship and praise to God, they will also be impacting times as the truth of God’s Word is preached under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We invite you to participate in these services and experience the awesome presence of Jesus Christ as we worship Him!

Mallory Johnson Of Northampton To become Cultural Ambassador in Spain
submitted by ELIZABETH RICHARDSON It may be a little intimidating. There may be some nerve-racking moments now and then. But nearly every East Stroudsburg University student who has been recruited by the Ministry of Education and lived and worked in Spain, where they served as cultural ambassadors, describes the experience as life-altering. It’s those stories that Esther Daganzo-Cantens, Ph.D., ESU associate professor of Spanish,
has heard time and time again since 2007 - when ESU became involved in this program with the Spanish Ministry of Education. And it’s those same stories that she can’t help but share with her current students. The tales of meeting a future spouse, the amazing videos of traveling throughout Europe, the photos of interacting and making a difference in the life of a child have just been too enticing for Daganzo-Cantens’ students to pass up. According to Daganzo-Cantens, “I have worked to provide ESU students majoring in Spanish and any other students with an intermediate level of Spanish with the best professional development opportunities available to them after they graduate from ESU. The Spanish Ministry of Education and the Government of Spain offer college graduates one of the best opportunities for them to not only gain a deep knowledge of the culture and language of Spain but also to develop a better understanding of the global society in which we live.” Seven recent ESU graduates have gone through the rigorous application process, been invited to serve as cultural ambassadors in Spain and are very interested in attending beginning in September, including Mallory Johnson from Northampton, PA. For nine months, they will help teach students the English language in addition to helping Spanish students learn about the United States and its culture. To participate in this experience, students must have a grade point average of 3.0, have earned a bachelor’s degree, completed at least two semesters of Spanish (considered Level 2), and need a letter of recommendation. Such criteria opens the door for someone who has a science degree but also significant knowledge of Spanish to take part. In that scenario, a cultural ambassador is the ideal candidate to become an aid in a biology or chemistry class. Since the program’s inception at ESU in 2007, more than 20 students have been cultural ambassadors. The seven 2018 ESU graduates are Christine Belbey, Communication Sciences & Disorders, B.S., Metuchen, N.J.; Mallory Johnson, Communication Sciences & Disorders, B.S., Northampton, Pa.; Layla Irby, Spanish, B.A. and Hotel, Restaurant, and Tourism Management, B.S., Bethlehem, Pa.; Taina Moore, Political Science, B.A., Harrisburg, Pa.; Stephanie Castillo, Sociology, B.A. and Criminal Justice, B.S, Bogota, N.J.; Stephanie Provost, Communication Sciences & Disorders, B.S.,

Buildings that were built over creek at Main St. Bridge in Bath were torn down in 1975. Hazle Township, Pa.; and Kelsey Corpac, Criminal Justice, B.S., Patchogue, N.Y. Daganzo-Cantens adds, “As Cultural Ambassadors in Spain, ESU students are able to teach their culture and their language to Spanish students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and at Centers of Modern Languages. This program has a duration of an academic year (9 months) in which students work 12 to 16 hours per week (depending on the Autonomic Community in Spain), and they are compensated with a competitive salary and other amenities. After completion of this program, students receive a diploma from Spain’s Ministry of Education and in some cases they can receive graduate credits for a master’s in education and/ or Spanish.” “They say it’s been life-changing,” Daganzo-Cantens said. “Our students come back with an open mind and another way of thinking that they cannot gain by staying here in the United States.” Stephanie Castillo, a 2018 graduate from ESU, is one of the 2,300 recent college grads from the United States who will take part this fall. She graduated in May with her degree in criminal justice and sociology and a minor in Spanish. The Bogota, N.J., native knew this was an opportunity she couldn’t miss.
“It’s something completely different than anything I’ve ever done before,” Castillo said. “I feel like it’s a great learning experience. I think it will be a great opportunity that can really help me to decide if I want to go back to school for education.” In preparation for her adventure, Castillo is spending the summer saving money so she can travel throughout Europe and make the best of all the opportunities she’ll have in front of her. But she admits that in the early stages of the application process, she wasn’t 100 percent certain it would work out.
But Castillo confirms that there’s a place for her in the program. “I can’t wait to go.”
