Bath Council introduces rental Inspection ordinance to residents By KERI LINDENMUTH The Bath Borough Council held an educational session on Tuesday, July 20, to introduce residents to the proposed rental inspection ordinance. This ordinance, which has been in the works for over a year, is “for the health, safety, and welfare of our citizens,” said Council President Michele Ehrgott. The Borough of Bath is home to 423 known rental units, as of 2015. Under the ordinance, it will be the responsibility of the property owner or manager to keep the property up to local, state, and federal standards. The goals of the ordinance, as stated by Ehrgott, are to eliminate disruptive conduct, ensure a safe living environment, maintain fire safety, ensure properties have proper insurance coverage and up-to-date licenses, ensure properties have trash and recycling services, and limit the number of occupants within units. The ordinance will
also work to eliminate absentee landlords, requiring owners not within 20 miles of the borough to designate property managers. While the ordinance is still in its early stages, council has already decided upon an application system. Under the ordinance, existing and new units will have 60 days to fully complete rental license applications for each unit. The proposed fee is $80 per unit per calendar year, though this rate is subject to change. This charge will be paid for by the landlord and it will cover up to two inspections. Renewal of the rental license will be required by December 31 of each year. New rental units licensed after July 1 will pay half the application fee. All units will require an inspection during the first year of the ordinance. The property owner will be given 10-days’ written notice prior to inspection and they must provide the occupant notice within three days. Their rental
license could be revoked if this is not adhered to. After the first year, units will require inspection every three years, though an inspection can be carried out if there is a written request by the occupant. Enforcement will be carried out by the borough’s code enforcement officer. If a violation is found, the owner has 20 days to remediate it. If not, the code enforcer may revoke the rental license. There is a charge of $150 for license reinstatement. Landlords and occupants must also follow a “three-strikes” policy for behavioral issues. If occupants are found to be disturbing the peace or violating drug laws, an eviction notice could be issued if there are three strikes within 12 months. “For too long, it has been the Wild West,” said Councilman Frank Hesch. “We have a responsibility to protect residents and Continued on page 2

Looking by Back Ed Pany Kohl-a-daal series Part 5
Tom and Leona Sabia met while building aircraft for World War II. Photo courtesy of Larry Oberly. This series is dedicated to the memory of Leona Sabia, whose life is a major part of these columns. In today’s column, I am speaking to Ms. Lila Sabia, whose family lineage dates back to Heinrich Kohl, former farmer and veteran of the Revolutionary War. Her mother, Leona Vogel Sabia, lived with her sister Virginia on the family farm on Stagecoach Road, north of Kreidersville. She and her sister, along with friends, walked to Northampton High School from Kreidersville. If she was lucky, her father, Tilghman Vogel, would drop her off at the high school on Lincoln Avenue when he delivered milk to
Northampton Dairy. There was no bus transportation! She graduated in 1942. The school principal was Mr. Ira Shaeffer; the superintendent was Dr. George Eichler. Leona’s first job was at the ribbon mill in Catasauqua. The mill helped make parachutes for the military during World War II. Continued on page 2

She later went to training school in Allentown for eight weeks to learn R-wetting. To get to the school, Leona went to
Northampton to board a trolley for the trip. In 1942, the United States was in World War II. Everyone who was physically able was needed in the defense industry. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft came to Allentown to build aircraft for the Navy. Leona was

Leona, “Rosie the Riveter” from a Kreidersville farm! Working alongside Ms. Vogel was a bright young man named Thomas Sabia, who was a hydraulic man on the same plane. He had moved from Hazleton because jobs were hard to find
there. He didn’t want to work in the coal mines. Slowly, they became friends, and a romance blossomed on the production line. One day, Thomas had the courage to ask for a date. Leona said yes, and they dated for five years. Before Tom came to Coplay, his job in Hazleton was at Senape’s Pizzeria. He then worked as an orderly at Hazleton General Hospital. Later, he moved

to good old Coplay. Remember the Ritz Theater in Coplay? This writer saw many a film at the old “Ritz Cracker.” Tom enjoyed movies, so he was hired as a movie projectionist. He lived close to the cozy theater. There was great jubilation when World War II ended, which resulted in a transformation of the war industry to a consumer economy. Vultee closed, so Tom and his fellow co-workers were back on the job market. If you drive down Lehigh Street, the Queen City Airport, used by Vultee, reminds us when military aircraft was manufactured in Allentown.
Bath Council Continued from page 1
their safety…I don’t want it to be crippling [to landlords]; at the same time, I want it to be fair and I want everyone to be safe.” Mayor Fiorella Mirabito and her husband own rental properties in the borough. She supports the ordinance. “If you’re a landlord, you should be concerned about who and what is in your building…for me, it is all about health and wellbeing,” she said to council. While penalties and fees have not been established yet, Council did discuss the possibility of having landlords pay for extra inspections beyond the two covered by their application fee. Occupants and tenants can forward a complaint to the code enforcement officer if they believe “band-aid” fixes are being used to repair issues. Quick fixes to simply pass inspection were concerns raised by several residents in attendance. Others in attendance worried about the liability, if any, should the Borough be taken to court by a property owner. “I cannot remember any enforcement issues that went to court where the borough [or] municipality has not prevailed,” said Jamie Kratz, borough solicitor. He has experience with similar ordinances across the Lehigh Valley. After introducing the ordinance to residents, fielding questions, and addressing concerns, council believes the ordinance could be adopted as early as this fall and go into effect on Jan. 1, 2022. However, the borough plans on holding more council meetings and consulting with residents, tenants, and landlords on this major change. “We want people to be educated,” said Mayor Mirabito.

For the health-minded individual
Contentment Improves Health I have read in Ecclesiastes that there is a time for everything under heaven. The passage reads, “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. Time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build, time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, time to search and a time to count as lost, a time to keep and a time to discard, time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a
time for peace. Powerful, wouldn’t you agree? What I am finding is that this book of the Bible, and clearly scripture in general, strikes me differently each time I revisit. Of course this is the case as I, we, are not the same person, have the same frame of mind or dare I say “age” as we chew on the passages. When I was much younger I felt that King Solomon, the author of these passages was, well, off his rocker. He actually starts that whole writing by stating everything is meaningless. What?! Now as I find myself in a stage of life where few people call me “young man,” I am understanding what the wise king was lamenting. My most recent review and
take away on this side of heaven goes far beyond the bounds of what this week’s article will allow and candidly beyond my skill set. That said, I find myself being drawn back to the same conclusion; that being, life is brief... Of course there is more reflection to this, yet because I see the truth and validity of it all, I want to apply this teaching and underContinued on page 4

house ordinance was passed in 2019. Residents began calling for stricter warehouse regulations after a sketch plan for a new warehouse was presented at the June 28 planning commission meeting. At the direction of the board of supervisors, Backenstoe drafted a new ordinance that he summarized at the meeting. First, the ordinance updated the definition of warehouse to include distribution and fulfillment centers; during discussion at the meeting, logistics centers were also added under this definition. The new ordinance also changes warehousing from a by-right permitted use to a conditional use, which requires the applicant to comply with additional criteria set by the board of supervisors; it also means the applicant must attend a hearing in front of the board and township residents proving that they are able to meet these requirements. Other notable differences in the ordinance are increased berm and buffer requirements, lounges for truck drivers, and off-street parking/loading docks. Per the new ordinance, a 100-foot-wide buffer is required between a warehouse and residential or agricultural zoning areas. The buffer yard will be landscaped with evergreen, deciduous, and flowering trees, in addition to shrubs that are resistant to diesel exhaust; areas not covered with plantings should be covered with grass or similar covering. A 14-foot-high berm and deciduous trees are required in front of the buffer. All of these things are required to screen the warehouse from any nearby homes. Another concern of many residents was truck drivers idling in the streets and even going to the bathroom on their property. These issues will be eliminated with the newly required lounge for drivers.

Backenstoe went on to explain more specific requirements of the lounge, including at a minimum six lounge seats, one 4-person table, restrooms, and vending machines. The ordinance also requires at least one additional amenity including showers, sleeping quarters, and entertainment areas. Finally, 1.5 parking spaces per employee during peak business hours would be required by the ordinance. The ordinance also states if there is no tenant proposed for the warehouse, applicants must have one parking space for every 500 square feet. Requirements for staging spaces, loading docks, and loading spaces are also included in
the ordinance amendments. The planning commission opened up the floor to allow for comments from its members and township residents. After a short discussion, in which logistics centers were added to the definition of warehouse and truck snow scrapers are to be required at any exit, the planning commission motioned to move the proposed amendments to the board of supervisors for review at their August 4 meeting. The planning commission will hold their next meeting on Monday, August 23 at 7 p.m. in the Klecknersville Rangers Vol. Fire Company on Mountain View Drive.

NAZARETH AREA Missing Piece, more than a store, to close its doors By ERIN FERGUSON Missing Piece, a popular local business that has served Nazareth for over 15 years, is retiring from its brick-and-mortar store located at 462 Bushkill Center Rd. in Nazareth, and opting to continue to sell products online only. The transition will take place on Oct. 1, 2021, which will allow Missing Piece’s faithful customers to continue to shop for the items they love on the business’s new website, missingpiecegiftshop. com. This website will not be fully launched until October. Karen Sampson, owner of Missing Piece, remembers the first time she and her husband, Rick, co-owner, ever stepped foot into the building. “When I was 12 years old, I
knew I was going to own a business and it was going to be called Missing Piece. I even envisioned this building, but I’m from Emmaus so I shouldn’t have known or been envisioning anything in Nazareth. Then my position at Crayola was eliminated after 16 years, and someone at Crayola told my husband that this place was for sale. As soon as I walked in, I knew I was here before. I asked the owner if this place was for sale and the owner said no. We considered renting a space, but I just couldn’t do it. I got a job at the Lehigh Valley Hospital and ran all the gift shops doing keynote speaking about decorating and stuff like that. During this time, I put together a party for a friend of mine and told her
she had to get rid of her lamp shades, they were ugly, so we went out to get new ones and she drove me here, back to this building, and I couldn’t believe it. I went up to the owner and said, ‘You probably don’t remember me, but I came in three years ago and wanted to buy this place,’ and she said, ‘Well today is your lucky day because we are selling it,’” says Karen. Missing Piece sells all kinds of home décor, holiday items, purses, jewelry, and other fashion pieces, with an eclectic mix of specialty items as well.

you, I knew it was time. Customers were calling me crying and I was comforting them telling them that this is a good thing. I want to retire, and when I tell them we are going to be online and continue to do live feeds, they get excited. I’m not going anywhere. I want to vacation, golf with my friends, and be with my husband more, and this will allow me more time to do that,” says Karen. “I just want to say, like Bob Hope said, ‘Thanks for the memories,’ and as my front door says, Enter a stranger, leave as friends; no truer words have ever been spoken. I also want to thank my wonderful staff, they weren’t just people standing around twiddling their thumbs, they love my business and I appreciate all of them,” adds Karen. Over the next few weeks, Missing Piece will be holding many sales, including participating in the Bushkill Township yard sale. You can stay up to date on their sales through their social media page on Facebook.
Décor, and Best Boutique, to awards from Best of the ValleyBest Unique Gift Shop, Best Small Business, to being featured in Lehigh Valley Style Magazine, this little boutique warmed the hearts of many. “I love my customers and respect them so much. I would listen to their stories about anything and everything and if someone came in and told me a story about their life that was sad, I would run out to their car and give them something because I wanted to make them feel happier. We weren’t just a store, which is why we have 15 years of wonderful memories. I don’t regret a day,” comments Karen. More than just a store, Karen and her husband quickly realized their mission was more than their store and continuously gave back to the community by hosting multiple fundraising events for the school districts in the area, health seminars, meditation classes, events for Angel 34, Mother’s Without A Cure, and participated in many other charitable events.

weaving the mats. Weaving uses approximately 450 bags and allows for multiple people to work on the same mat at the same time. Over the past five years we were able to donate 135 mats, sold four and donated two for fundraisers. In 2016, we donated 10 crocheted mats to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Allentown. In 2017, we donated another 10 mats to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Allentown, 15 mats to the Bethlehem Emergency Shelter and 12 to help people in Florida after the flood. In 2018, 36 mats were given to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Allentown. Several people wanted to buy the mats, so we were able to sell four and used the funds to purchase 50 Lanta Bus passes, 10 Dunkin Donuts and eight WaWa gift cards, which were also donated to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Allentown. In November of 2018, we had an opportunity to help the Northampton High School DECA Club make three mats for Project Kids Hope 4 the Valley, a Community Service Project and later donated them to the Allentown Rescue Mission. The project was supervised by Lauren Schaller and Abby Piotrowski, and made with the help of many DECA Club members and school faculty. The DECA Project was entered in a state competition held at Hershey Lodge and won third place. In 2019, 32 mats were donated to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in Allentown. And in 2020, we were able to complete 20 mats prior to stopping due to the pandemic, which were donated to the Valor Clinic Foundation in Kunkletown, Pa. Prior to the pandemic, we met every second and fourth Monday
of the month at Benders Mennonite Church 975 Benders Church Road in Pen Argyl to prep the bags and every second and fourth Wednesday to weave at the Klecknersville Fire Hall. We reactivated the group earlier this year and have been meeting at Mountain View Wesleyan the first and third Wednesday to prep, and the second and fourth Wednesday to weave. We recently made a donation to the Wounded Warriors with the proceeds from six mats purchased at Lattemann's Corner Store, where we currently have nine on display for sale. Mats are 6' x 4' and great for the beach, camping, hunting and sports events with all proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project. Lattemann's is also a drop off

point for colored grocery bags. We were recently contacted by a chaplain that works with Veterans in Philadelphia who requested 25 mats. We now have three frames and with our current volunteers, we are able to complete two mats every time we meet for weaving. We welcome teenagers, men and seniors to help. Many steps can be done at home so if you're not able to come out on a Wednesday there are still ways you can help. We will continue to make the mats as long as we have plastic bags and veterans in need. We meet every and first and third Wednesday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. to prep bags to weave them on the second and fourth Wednesdady from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Mountain View Wesleyan Church at 1001 Deemer Road, Bath. For more information contact Gloria at the church 610-7597553; please leave a message and she will call you back or just stop over on a Wednesday when we are weaving at the church to see the work in progress. I have enjoyed the fellowship and making the mats with you all. God Bless everyone who has helped with this project.
