By SAVANNAH BROWN The Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce held their annual kazoo parade on Saturday, July 2. Residents decked out in red, white, and blue showed up for this Fourth of July tradition, kazoos and flags in hand as the forecasted rain was replaced by sunny skies and smiling faces.

The tradition began back in 2005 when Nazareth tried to break the world record for the largest kazoo ensemble of 5,190 people playing kazoos at once.

However, with the original parade only amounting to three or four hundred participants, the record was not broken. Instead, the kazoo parade became an annual fun-filled tradition as par-

ticipants celebrated the USA. Residents met at the Nazareth Area High School and at 10 a.m. the parade began marching through the streets of Nazareth, which was led by the Nazareth police and the Nazareth fire department. This year’s parade veteran grand marshal was Helena Lazzarini who served in the US Navy for 15 years and is now the proud owner of Naz-ONut, a donut shop in Nazareth equipped with their own pink and white donut van they patriotically decorated for the parade.

Sirens sounded and parade goers played their kazoos all the way to Veterans Memorial Square, where a program was held by the Nazareth Area Chamber of Com-

merce. Speakers blaring “Born in the USA” played as residents gathered in the square and Executive Vice President of Affiliated Chambers and Nazareth Area Chamber Liaison Jessica O’Donnell began the program.

“We just love this annual tradition in our community and the opportunity to honor those of you that have served and those of you that have family members serving,” O’Donnell expressed.

Brielle from All Things Brielle kicked off the ceremony with her beautiful rendition of the National Anthem.

Next, O’Donnell thanked the Nazareth Army Navy Store for Continued on page 8

Submitted by ROBIN NEWTON Patricia Cunningham, a teacher at Nazareth Area High School, has been selected as one of five participants in C-SPAN’s 2022 Teacher Fellowship Program.

Cunningham will collaborate with C-SPAN’s Education Relations team for four weeks to create content for C-SPAN Classroom, a free online teaching resource.

Cunningham teaches AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, and AP United States Government and Politics. She currently coaches the Debate, Mock Trial and Model United Nations teams at the high school and advises the Junior Class Executive Council. She is the chair of the Social Studies Department and serves as a member of the high school’s Academic Achievement Team and Power User Group. Cunningham has been an AP Reader for the United States Government and Politics exam for the last three years and recently completed a Master of Arts in Political Science at Lehigh University.

Through the fellowship, Cunningham will partner with CSPAN to expand the collection of

digital resources. C-SPAN Classroom provides middle and high school teachers with video-based content including lesson plans, bell ringers, current events videos, inquiry-based deliberations and more.

Each fellow was selected by a panel of C-SPAN representatives and evaluated based on their innovative use of C-SPAN programming in their curriculum, commitment to professional development and creative use of technology and social platforms.

The educators will receive $1,000 for participating in the program.

“The fellowship program allows us to expand our vast collection of digital resources both in the diversity of content, as well as methods for teachers to incorporate them into their classrooms,” said Craig McAndrew, director Continued on page 12

Pool business on Kreidersville Road not violating Zoning, says Township Solicitor

By KERI LINDENMUTH A pool construction company located at 3742 Kreidersville Rd. in Northampton is not violating Allen Township zoning rules, says Allen Township Solicitor Lincoln B. Treadwell. This decision comes several weeks after neighboring residents voiced concerns over expansion at the property, which switched hands to new owners in late 2021.

During the June 28 Board of Supervisors meeting, Treadwell explained that the property, from 1988, has a nonconforming use.

The lot contains a single-family home as well as a business. When built 34 years ago, the property adhered to the township’s zoning regulations. However, the land has since changed from industrial-commercial zoning to rural. Because the property was constructed before this change, Treadwell said the property and business are “entitled to protections.”

The main concerns among residents, voiced by Gene Clater, are traffic and noise. He claimed that vehicles are coming and going

from the site as early as 3 a.m. He added that there are no buffers on the property to hide the noise and traffic from neighboring homes.

In addition, he claimed there are as many as 11 vehicles parked on the property, more than the seven the property has a variance for.

Treadwell visited the property to investigate these complaints.

Instead of violations, he said he saw “natural expansion” of the business.

“It is a business,” he told Clater and other neighbors in attendance. “We would expect that it would grow in some way.” He added that there was no dust, noise or odor.

Clater, former chair of the township’s planning commission, said the township's ordinance allows businesses to expand 15% of their land area without the Board of Supervisors' approval and 30% with Board approval. Anything greater requires zoning approval.

Clater estimates the business has expanded its land area by at least 75% without following zoning requirements or standards like buffering or paving.

Treadwell called Clater’s estimate inaccurate, adding the land on the property has always been used for the business. Under the old owner, rocks were piled there.

Now, it is used for parking.

“Because there are cars there instead of rocks doesn’t mean it is an expansion of the area,” Treadwell told the audience.

“We hire a solicitor…if the solicitor has given his legal opin-

ion and advice…it is not in the best interest of the township as a whole to go against that advice,” said Supervisor Gary Behler.

Since neither the township solicitor nor zoning officer found issues with the property, no violations will be handed out.

Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip

Hey gang, long time no talk!

Been busy lately with juggling vacations and being short-staffed.

Us and everyone else, right? If you know anyone lookin' for work, send 'em our way! Anywho, I hope everyone had a nice Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Always goes too quickly, doesn't it? Seems like there were less fireworks in the neighborhood this year as opposed to other years. I don't mind though, I have a dog so fireworks are never fun around this time of year. Our theme for the July photo of the month contest is simply "summer." Send your summer-themed photos to us to be considered. The deadline is Monday, July 25.July means the Great Bath Duck Race is near!

This year it'll be Saturday, July 30 at 11 a.m. sharp at Monocacy Creek Park. The grand prize will be $250. I don't have much more info other than that- I know tickets are gonna be $5/ticket and you can buy 'em at Mattie's Strudel Haus in Bath, not sure yet on the other purchase locations, stay tuned!.Oh, this Saturday, July 9, the Bath Farmers' Market is gonna have a "Dog Days

of Summer" parade. Visit the market to enter your pup. The parade will begin at 11 a.m. Congrats to Bushkill Park, they had a celebration to mark their 120th year of operating, that's quite the accomplishment! Last week there was a bad accident in Lower Nazareth, a tractor-trailer crossed the median and hit an oncoming flatbed trailer, tipping on its side.

Luckily there were no fatalities though.This issue's kinda light this week, the issue after the 4th is always sorta light due to municipal meetings getting pushed back from the holiday. We'll have more for ya next week.Gotta cut things here, it's raining and I gotta go roll my car windows up!

Cya next time.

“In the 246 years since the founding of the United States of America, we have experienced times of great unity and success and periods of great struggle and division. Our country has always been about striving to be better, to creating more perfect union,

These rights and all others that we hold dear and fight to protect are what make Americans Americans. These are the rights that my father fought to protect in the Air Force, the rights my mother exercised as a journalist, and the rights I fight

Colondo concluded, “God bless you, your families, God bless America, and God bless Nazareth, Pennsylvania!”

Mike Woodland, Immediate Past Chairman of the Nazareth Area Chamber board stated, “We honor all of our local veterans as a focus of this year’s celebration,” which was followed by the playing of the Armed Forces Medley.

Brielle from All Things Brielle followed the remarks by singing “America the Beautiful” before singing a special song her father wrote.

Last, Woodland wished all a safe Fourth of July weekend.

Wild also went on to say, “Our nation was not born out of easy choice, but out of dedication of freedom and liberty to ideals that we all hold dear. That is what we celebrate on our Independence Day—the promise and the potential and the internal seeking of a more perfect union, founded on the principles that we are all created equal, and we are all entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Happy Independence Day!” Following, Nazareth Mayor Lance Colondo thanked all for coming to the parade and shared his gratitude for our country: “I want to acknowledge our fire police, volunteer fire company, police department, and public works department for helping put this event together and providing a safe parade route.”

Colondo added, “Over time, the kazoo parade has become a fun and quirky annual event in Nazareth and continues to be fun for all to participate in each year.

With that said, I want to remind everyone that more importantly, on Monday, July 4, 2022, our nation celebrates 246 years of independence as on July 4, 1776, the second continental congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence, announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. Let us remember and celebrate that we are fortunate to live in the greatest country in the world, the United States of America.”

Colondo also gave thanks to the brave men and women who have fought over the last 246

In other news, the township selected three architects to interview for their facility’s upgrade plan. Those architects are Alloy5, MKSD Architects, and Dewey Engineering. The three proposed the lowest bids for their services.

Supervisors Behler and Paul Link volunteered to conduct the interviews.

During the meeting, supervisors also voiced concerns over paving progress on West 27th Street, the site of Towpath Estates. In late 2021, owner and developer Tim Livengood promised to complete paving, unfinished since 2013, by this August. However, paving has not yet started.

“Something is wrong with this picture,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “People are living there, paying taxes, and getting nothing but a beat-up road.”

If the developer does not pave

the road by the deadline, the township will use the developer’s escrow to finish the job.

Finally, supervisors discussed new tapping fees for property owners. Tapping fees, one of three fees property owners must pay for a sewer connection, have not been updated in nine years.

Engineer Andrea Martin worked to bring the new fees up to standard, calculating new requirements and the costs of the recent Act 537 Plan drafted by the township. The increase, she

said, is “significant.”

Because Allen Township uses the Northampton Borough Water Authority for some water and sewer services, a total tapping fee is charged by both municipalities. Allen Township’s fee, currently $500, can increase to no more than $1,320. Northampton’s fee is $5,070. Should the board approve the maximum tapping fee, property owners of new developments would pay $6,390 per EDU. This charge is only for those hooking up to Northampton’s line.

While this tapping fee is higher than the average fee in the state ($5,000-$6,000 in most municipalities, according to Martin), the township is “well within” its right to charge the maximum amount.

Because the increase is so significant, supervisors asked Martin to prepare a comparison chart to help them decide on the final fee. Once decided, they will need to draft a new ordinance for the fee to officially go into effect.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be held Tuesday, July 12 at 7 p.m.
