Jaindl withdraws Application for Development along Locust And Arrowhead Roads By KERI LINDENMUTH Developer David Jaindl withdrew an application for development of property he owns along Locust and Arrowhead Roads. He was scheduled to give a presentation to the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors on June 28, but canceled the day prior. Jaindl made the request to rezone and develop the property, close to Airport Road, last April. However, he has yet to make a presentation to the township about his plans. Township Manager Brent
Green said Jaindl will resubmit his application at a later date. Meanwhile, the township granted one final extension to St. Luke’s for a subdivision plan and parking lot improvements on their Silver Crest Road property. The extension has been granted until September 30, with supervisors agreeing they will not grant any more extensions following that date. Finally, township resident Linda Edinger asked supervisors Continued on page 6

Allen Township Approves Coplay Bridge beam Transport; denies Rockefeller Request By KERI LINDENMUTH During their June 26 meeting, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors approved the request to allow steel beams for the Coplay Bridge to pass through Howertown Park and Short Lane. The ten steel beams will pass through the township over three days in mid-July, possibly July 16. Coplay Bridge project managers met with township engineer Bob Cox and township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell to answer questions and update their proposal.
I found this “Looking Back” in the January 1945 Cement, Lime and Gypsum Workers Bulletin. The article takes us back to World War II remembering cement workers who gave their lives in the conflict. Mrs. Anna Nagy of Nazareth received the sad news that her son, Sgt. Joseph F. Nagy, a former member of Local #17 Nazareth, died in France on October 5, 1944. He entered the service in June 1942 receiving basic training at Camp Claiborne, La. He spent nine months at Fort. St. John Canada. Later he was sent to Greenville, Pa., and on May 30, 1943 went overseas. He was promoted to the rank of sergeant in England and later saw action in Cherbourg, Valogues, St. Mere Eglise, St. Pieres Eglise and other places in France. A graduate of Holy Fam-
ily School and Nazareth High School, he was a member of the Holy Family Church and trustee of the Holy Family Sick and Relief Society. Survivors included his mother, four brothers, two sisters, and Seamen 2/C John H. Nagy, Luke and Frank Nagy and Mrs. Louis Skasitz, and Mrs. John Keppel. Local #17 enacted this resolution, whereas: It is with great regret and sorrow we record the death of our friend and brother Sgt. Joseph F. Nagy. Our deceased brother made the supreme sacrifice so that freedom and justice might still endure and that our charter be draped for a period of thirty days. My readers may recall when Frank’s brother, Mr. Luke Nagy, served the Borough of Nazareth as a fine police officer. Mrs. Nagy, I am proud to say, is a cousin to this writer.
While supervisors originally requested project managers think about transporting the beams at night, project manager Larry Franco said backing up traffic at both ends of Route 329 in the dark on a hill could prove dangerous. He also said that the beams are lit up for 1,000 feet of vision, which would disturb nearby homes. “They are a circus on wheels,” he said. By crossing Howertown Park, Franco said the steel beam trans-
port will be avoiding the Route 329 detour for “over half the distance.” As an added bonus, project managers said they would deposit Continued on page 2
