Northampton Sports Banquet honors School’s best athletes
Athletic Director Shaun Murray presents the David Olson Memorial Trophies to Brandy Moser and Dylan Baird.
By JUSTIN SWEITZER Northampton Area High School athletes were recognized for their successes on and off the field at the school’s annual sports banquet on Wednesday, May 24. Northampton athletes were awarded over $9,500 in scholarships and $1,500 in trophies for their accomplishments as members of their respective sports teams, with members of the local community heralding them for their work and dedication throughout the academic year. Among the awards given out at the 2017 Varsity All-Sports Banquet were senior trophy awards for individual athletes in their sports, scholarship awards, senior plaques, and scholar athlete recognitions. The Northampton Class of 2017’s Valedictorian Brandy Moser and Salutatorian Lyndsey Gallagher were recipients of both trophy awards and scholarships, showing the academic ability that was prevalent throughout many of the athletes in attendance at the all-sports
banquet. Multi-sport athlete Colin Schucker also received an abundance of awards at the event, being honored as a football Eastern Pennsylvania Conference scholar athlete, a senior plaque recipient, the recipient of the Richard J. Derkits Memorial Scholarship, the Gabryluk Family Thrower’s Scholarship, the Louis J. Wolf Athletic Scholarship for a senior football athlete, and the Northampton Football Booster Club Scholar Athlete Award. Senior plaques were given to 71 athletes who a had varsity letter in two or more sports, or three or more letters in one sport. Three athletes received a senior jacket award for receiving eight or more letters during their academic career. The athletes receiving the jacket recognition were Moser, Gallagher and Aja Blount. The banquet also honored Northampton’s 21 Eastern Pennsylvania Conference scholar athletes, their four district champions Continued on page 10

By JUSTIN SWEITZER Northampton County was home to numerous demonstrations over Memorial Day weekend to remember the nation’s fallen servicemen and servicewomen. Among the demonstrations were multiple services by the “M” Company of the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, who took part in 10 Memorial Day services in the area from May 28 to May 29. Services were held at Fairview Cemetery on Cherryville Road in Northampton; St. Peter’s (Snyder’s Church) United Church of Christ in Seemsville; Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church in Emmanuelsville; Christ U.C.C. Little Moore; Zion Stone U.C.C. in Kreidersville; Horner’s Cemetery on Nor-Bath Boulevard; Grand Army of the Republic Memorial Plot at Lincoln and Dewey Avenues in Northampton; Allen Union Cemetery, Fourth and Main Street in Northampton; St. John’s United Church of Christ in Howertown; and the Siegfried Memorial Plot on West 21st Street in Northampton. East Allen Township Supervisor Madelyn Kemp, who was in attendance during the service at the Siegfried Memorial Plot, said in addition to their appreciation for history, many of the participants share a special bond—all of them except for two are related. The fraternal organization was accompanied by the TriCommunity Marching Band who provided patriotic tunes for service-goers, and played “Taps” and “The Star Spangled Banner” to conclude each service. Services also featured gun salutes, a recitation of the Gettysburg address, and prayers to remember fallen soldiers who gave their lives for the country.

ing to the store. I decided to look for a job, so for a couple of months I walked to Nazareth and Easton, stopping anywhere I thought might be hiring. My father did not have an automobile. He never owned one and there was no public transportation, so walking was the only way for me to go. One day a man picked me up and thought maybe a beer distributor might hire me. I was not interested.” Mr. Lakey is a man of principle; he has never been a consumer of alcoholic beverages. His grandmother and grandfather lived and worked in Easton. They were employed as cleaners at a plant that made something called a Dixie Cup. Wonder what that was?

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Healthcare Consolidation Has anybody taken heed of the new normal in healthcare that has been taking place in the Lehigh Valley and beyond? Clearly, we are aware of the Obamacare mandates and the ongoing debates in that area.

if “mom and pop” doctors are quickly becoming extinct. Candidly I am not sure how to feel about it. From the outset this has the appearance as being a good way to develop consistent, generally accepted procedures and protocols that are developed in concert with valid research in hopes of yielding successful outcomes consistently. An opposing view would be that what is being created is a single viewpoint, albeit a large collective, on the care provided. Imagine if that collective viewpoint still maintained that leeching out germs was the appropriate treatment to be adhered to ... I can hear the naysayers now: “The chiropractor is upset that the hospitals are taking over.” That would be the farthest from my mind. Who knows, perhaps as I get older I may find myself as part of the trend which is now taking place, by caring for patients at the hospital. Maybe that’s the future for my eldest daughter who has her sights set on becoming a chiropractor. It is the purpose of this Natural Perspectives™ column to get you thinking about ‘things’ you may not have considered before…and this is a big one. A few weeks ago I took my son up to East Stroudsburg University for a wrestling event. On a road that abuts the campus you would have thought the name of the street to be ‘Hospital Row Boulevard.’ It was as if the two biggest hospitals in our area were competing head to head to attract whomever they could. I guess they are. I have seen Mc-
Donalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Kentucky Fried Chicken on opposing street corners so why not the new bullfight in the hospital arena marketplace? If fast food can do it why not hospital outposts? My son and I were flabbergasted. It is a true sign of the times. Before you lambast me, please understand I understand the pros and cons of the situation. Not all but many. My opinion holds little weight. I am just calling it like I see it and something in my gut is telling me this path of hospital owned and facilitated everything won’t end good for them or any of us. For the record I do believe that the area immediately surrounding my office here on Nor-Bath Blvd is medically underserved. I do. I feel a really good medical doctor would be so loved and is needed by our community. I have entertained the notion of joining forces or employing a medical physician. The costs to do such, however, are almost insurmountable. Thus we now know why solo docs are getting to be far and few in between. Please ask yourself how many young M.D. or D.O. family doctors, orthopedics, or surgeons you know that have their own practice these days? My guess is if you know one that would be a lot. If you know two or three that would impress me. My nephew is set to start medical school this fall. He is an absolute genius. At this time he aspires to be a surgeon. We have talked on many occasions and each time, career possibilities and places he would settle revolve around large hospital campuses that he understands will be his employer. For him to think otherwise borders on the absurd. To me, this new normal, just doesn’t seem normal. But what does anymore? My best to you.

Anyone interested in sponsoring or donating to the event may contact Scott Hough, Troop 93 Assistant Scoutmaster, at 484-268-0754.
Hearings Held for Allen Township Comprehensive Plan
By KERI LINDENMUTH After 15 months, members of the Allen Township Board of Supervisors and Allen Township Planning Commission have commenced the final step of passing the township’s updated and upgraded comprehensive plan. Three separate hearings were held on Wednesday, May 24, during which time the Comprehensive Plan Task Force, the board of supervisors, and the planning commission addressed comments made by adjacent municipalities, the LVPC, and township residents. Jerome Skrincosky of Hawk Valley Associates consulted the task force and its members as they embarked on this process and was in attendance during the hearings to address their questions. He explained that a comprehensive plan is required by the state and must account for future land use, facilities, and transportation. Allen Township’s new comprehensive plan is highly detailed, eleven chapters long, and addresses all of these topics based on a survey that had been distributed to township residents. “[This comprehensive plan] will maintain and improve quality of life in the township for years to come,” explained Supervisor Larry Oberly. Comments from the LVPC and adjacent municipalities and townships, such as East Allen Township, were overwhelmingly positive. As such, members of the task force, planning commission, and board felt no need to amend any of the plan. The planning commission passed its recommendation on to supervisors, who acknowledged the recommendation and will continue prepare the plan for adoption at its next hearing.
www.HomeNewsPA.com
Supervisors and commissioners have given the plan a 10 year timeframe, with the ability to expand to 20 years. However, they estimate that roughly 40 percent of the plan and its 116 recommendations will be completed within two years through amendments to zoning and SALDO. Every year, supervisors and the planning commission will meet to look at the township budget to prioritize recommendations. Supervisors are expected to formally adopt the plan at their next regular meeting, to be held on June 8 at 7 p.m.

The omelet and The buffet I always keep a special eye open when I travel because I don’t generally know anyone and the customer service stories abound. Omelet Line - I approached an omelet station, grabbed a plate and a woman came up behind me and started huffing and puffing like a teenager. I glanced at her and she complained, “I hate when someone gets in line in front of me.” Even though she wasn’t in the line when I got there, I offered for her to go first. She moved in front of me but was visibly uncomfortable. She started talking fast, saying, “You took my spot in line.” I said, “I didn’t see you and I would never do that.” She responded, “I really hate when someone goes in front of me.” I fell silent, sometimes the best strategy. All of a sudden she left. The chef asked me what kind of eggs she wanted. I didn’t know what to say since I was already on her bad side. Nowhere to be found, I told the chef to give her regular eggs. The chef began huffing and puffing because the woman ordered an omelet and then left. Suddenly, she bolted over to the line, resumed her place in front of me and six other people, grabbed the omelet, threw a dollar at the chef and left. The six other people shook their heads in disbelief. Buffet – I was off to the rest of the buffet and I saw they had fresh, red beet juice; I took one, sat down and began to drink. A big lump of something was in my mouth! I had to spit it out and called for the waitress. She and another waiter (I named him ‘Chuckles’) were figuring out what to do. He was headed to the kitchen so she asked him if he would take the remaining juice to the kitchen and tell them something is wrong. He replied, “No, it’s your table, you do it.” She didn’t want to leave my table until the manager came by. Mr. Manager came over, apologized, explained that the Chef was supposed to taste the juices every morning and obviously didn’t. He offered to pay for the breakfast and took my name in case I needed anything else. I was pretty sure I didn’t swallow any but it’s an awful feeling having that slimy stuff in your mouth. The moral of the omelet story - there was clearly something wrong with the woman. I didn’t know that at the time, but tried to be polite, speak softly and let her go first. I could have argued with her, denied the line jumping and made her even angrier. The moral of the buffet story - While waiting for the manager I was chatting with the waitress and told her that I write a column on extreme customer service and I might include “Chuckles” in the article. He was not a team player and was quite rude to her in front of me. After she left she went and told him he might be
featured in my article and boy did he perk up. He even put his arm around her, started smiling and developed a hustle and bustle in his step. Ms. Waitress could not have been more accommodating, empathic and polite - she received a $10 tip. Mr. Manager did the right thing - I’m sending a letter to the restaurant’s owner. Chuckles, well, he just ended up in my column this week, but my guess is his customers had a great day with him once he found out he was on the hot seat.

East Allen Township Supervisors Adopt medical Marijuana Ordinance
By JUSTIN SWEITZER Supervisors in East Allen Township adopted an ordinance at their May 25 board meeting to amend the text of the township’s zoning ordinance to provide for the “establishment” and “regulation” of medical marijuana facilities within the township. The move comes after the state of Pennsylvania legalized medical marijuana on April 17, 2016. According to the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission, the Medical Marijuana Act of 2016 preempts local zoning, but the LVPC says that municipalities still need to determine locations for growing and
processing facilities, as well as dispensaries, according to a memorandum from the commission. Supervisor Mark Schwartz noted that the board itself didn’t have a say on the legalization bill that was approved by the Pennsylvania legislature. “There was no say on whether we could approve it or not, we’re just making sure that we cover all our bases and make sure that it only goes in the zones that we feel it is appropriate in,” Schwartz said. Solicitor Joseph Piperato III opened up a public hearing to township residents to voice their opinions on the matter, but no resident offered any comment on the ordinance before its adoption. Piperato said that in the event that a dispensary would be proposed within the township, the location would be limited to PC1 and PC2 zoning districts, similar to any pharmacy. Board of Supervisors Chairman Roger Unangst stated that he is personally opposed to the ordinance, but said that there is little the board can do since the drug was legalized by the state to treat symptoms of chronic medical conditions. “Once the state legalizes it, we need to make zoning for it, that’s state law,” Unangst said. “This is totally, 100 percent against my beliefs; it was handed down by the state and this is what we have to do.” In other business that happened before the meeting, a rezoning request from developer David Jaindl was rescheduled to a future meeting after Supervisor Robert Mills was unable to attend the meeting. The township is still looking to reschedule the public hearing for Rock Lehigh Valley to be able to accommodate the large amount of interest from township residents, according to Township Manager Deborah Seiple. Seiple said she would reach out to supervisors to determine their availability and schedule the hearing. The next East Allen Board Township of Supervisors meeting will be on June 14 at 7 p.m.

Allen Township Supervisors Give conditional approval for Office building By JUSTIN SWEITZER Allen Township supervisors acted on direction from the township’s planning commission at their May 23 meeting to grant conditional approval to Harold Dashuta, who is planning on erecting a dental office building and ice cream shop at the intersection of Nor-Bath Boulevard and Weaversville Road. The board’s motion was to accept the concept and current scenario allowing Dashuta to go ahead with demolition of the current brick house at the intersection so he can begin construction on the proposed office building. The land development plan had previously come before the Allen Township Planning Commission on May 15. “I want to demo [the current building] and develop it into an office for my wife,” Dashuta said. “[I want to] have a little spot for an ice cream place to give back to the township.” Township Engineer Robert Cox said that development could be started in compliance with the plan they had before them with minimal issues, if conditional approval was granted. “If conditional approval was given they could get started, they could tear the buildings down, get this going, use Short Lane for the interim, and still access the same site as we see it except for
some minor modifications to the entrance,” Cox said. Supervisor Alfred Pierce noted that Dashuta will be running the sewer line through the park, westward, to the main line. “If we’re agreeing to this, we’re also effectively agreeing to give him an easement to run a sewer line through the park,” Pierce said. In other business, Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said she has been renewing quotes on safety improvements for the township building. Eckhart said the cost of installing cameras for the garages and a monitor for the front office would be $2,550, including the price of the cameras and monitor. With these security features being budgeted for, Supervisor Gary Behler made a motion to purchase the items and have them installed, which was unanimously approved by the board. The installation of these safety features will not include improvements to the township building meeting room, which will be funded through grant money. The Allen Township Board of Supervisors will convene next on June 8 at 7 p.m. The township’s planning commission will meet on June 19 at 7 p.m., and the board of supervisors will have another meeting on June 27 at 7 p.m.

. . . Good to see that residents are showing interest from all sides in the Colonial Regional Police situation for Bath. The debate will go on for a while I suspect, but that’s what we need, questions and answers from all sides. Our local paper will keep up with it, and a decision will be made for the best interest of everyone. . . .We should be proud of the museums we have in Bath/East Allen, Northampton and Nazareth for we have a rich history dating back to Colonial times. Congrats to the people of our time who keep adding to collections and making their facilities so beautiful. It’s great having people who appreciate history, and work to preserve it for future generations. . . .Sure wish the sun would have made an appearance on this Memorial Day. Cloudy skies just make me tired. How about you? Or maybe it’s because June is here when you read this. Half the year is past already! Time sure marches on. Bring on the sun!
Committee passes Mako Bill to make Military Family Relief Program Check-Off Permanent Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK The House Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee today reported out Rep. Zach Mako’s (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) legislation to ex-
tend the Military Family Relief Program check-off box on state tax forms permanently. “This valuable program helps meet the needs of deployed servicemen and servicewomen and their family members,” said Mako, a U.S. Army helicopter pilot in the Pennsylvania National Guard. “The last worry on their minds should be about food, shelter, clothing and medical care. I know firsthand how emotionally difficult active duty service can be.” House Bill 984 would make the tax check-off permanent. The Military Family Relief Program provides financial assistance to armed forces personnel and their families, including the National Guard and Reserves. Assistance available under the program is offered during active duty status. The program is funded by the tax check-off and was first initiated in 2005. It has been extended three times since then. Currently, the program is set to expire on Jan. 1, 2018. The 183rd District includes South Whitehall (part), Washington and White-
hall (part) townships and Slatington Borough in Lehigh County. It also consists of Allen, Lehigh and Moore (part) townships, and North Catasauqua, Northampton and Walnutport boroughs in Northampton County.

Bath Calendars
One section of the Bath Museum has a wall filled with calendars - calendars given by Bath businesses to their patrons. Even a simple calendar gives us information about early Bath with business names, goods and services, dates and addresses, and even their philosophies. The construction materials are so varied: pressed paper with sparkles, rattan woven together with string, and
colorful lithographs. Some of the examples are 1979 Bath Hardware & Cycle, 1976 The Leiby Agency Representing the Hartford, 1977 Wunderler's Groceries - Meats - Gas - Oil, and 1962 First National Bank of Bath Distributed in the Interest of Cub Scout Membership in This Community. But my favorite is the one of a little girl feeding clover to a horse Compliments of Clayton Biery - Blacksmith and Horse-Shoer and Lawn Mowers Sharpened and Reapired by a Special Machine which includes this quote at
the bottom "Life's Greatest Gift - A Year of Time." You'll find the most fascinating things at the Bath Museum. The Bath Museum is open free to the public every third Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Currently it is located on the second floor of the Bath Municipal Building at Penn and Washington Streets. Mark June 17 on your calendar and come out and visit this local treasure. P.S. The Governor Wolf Historical Society, located just south of Bath, also has their museum open the same date from 1 to 3 p.m.

Bushkill Township honors Those who have served Submitted by KERI LINDENMUTH Residents of Bushkill Township gathered at the Veteran’s Memorial Flagpole at the township’s recreational fields on Sunday, May 28 to remember and honor those who have served. There were 207 flag dedications made in memory of or in honor of veterans by their family members and friends. The name of each service member was read aloud to a crowd
of residents, as well as veterans and their families, all donning their red, white and blue. State Representative Marcia Hahn emceed the Memorial Day Veterans Remembrance and Flag Retirement Ceremony, which was organized by Bushkill Township resident Susan Kirk. “[We are here] to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” Representative Hahn said.

The Nazareth Community Band, under the direction of Ralph Brodt III, provided music, including patriotic tunes from Sousa, a symphonic variation of “Amazing Grace,” and the “Armed Forces Salute,” during which time veterans from all branches of the military stood and were honored by the crowd. Reverend David B. Schaeffer gave the invocation and thanked all veterans for their service in the fight for liberty, which he says has inspired those all around the world, from Berlin to Tiananmen Square to the streets of Kiev. Dieruff High School’s R.O.T.C presented the colors, Girl Scout Troop 8609 provided water on the warm day, and Boy Scout Troop 44, with leader Scott Backer, respectively retired an American flag. The stars of that flag will be donated to veterans and first responders through the Stars for Heroes Campaign. The event’s keynote speakers were Heather Lloyd, founder of Tails of Valor Paws of Honors, a nonprofit that partners service dogs with veterans with PTSD and physical disabilities, and Army Veteran Harold Siegfied, who was partnered with his dog Phelan through the program. “[We] treat the whole person, not just the symptoms,” Lloyd said of the program, adding that it was evident that the “passion of a nonjudgmental companion…was needed,” for veterans. The service dogs spend up to 2,000 hours training and preparing to be paired with a veteran. In 2016, six dogs graduated from the program, including Phelan. “When you get a dog…it saves your life,” said Siegfried, who was a homeless veteran who went to the V.A. five days a week before Phelan. He explained that he had “pretty much given up on life.” Now, however, he says that Phelan never leaves his side. “This works. It helps…I learned it is okay to have what I have,” he said. “I would rather be with him [Phelan] than anybody else.” “Without Tails of Valor, I would not be here today,” he added. Area residents can visit www. tailsofvalor.org to learn how they can play their own important role in pairing veterans like Siegfried with four-legged friends like Phelan and continue the spirit of honoring and helping those who have served long after Memorial Day has ended.

Are you banking o For your retirem
(NAPSI)—If you’re a middleincome baby boomer, chances are you’re still struggling to recover from the financial crash that began in 2007. You’re not alone: According to a new study, only two percent of boomers feel the economy has fully recovered, and 65 percent say they have not felt personal benefit from any recovery. If that sounds like you, then you’re also likely worried about where your retirement income is going to come from. According to the Bankers Life Cen-
ter for a Secure Retirement, middle-income baby boomers are increasingly reliant on Social Security for their primary source of retirement income. Before the crisis, 43 percent planned to rely on personal savings or earnings for their primary source of retirement income. That number has dropped to just 34 percent, with the difference mainly moving to Social Security. As generous as the program is, Social Security was never designed to fully replace your

on social security ment income? wages. And the lesson from 2007 is to be prepared for anything. There are many steps you can take to plan ahead, protect yourself and achieve the retirement you are looking for.
Understand what Your retirement Really looks like
While nearly all boomers say they still plan to retire, they are adjusting retirement expectations to meet their new reality. This new reality is primarily focused on a decrease in financial independence. To address this, try to: • Pay off debt: Debt payments should ideally be no more than 10 percent of your income when you retire. • Work part-time: Whether you choose to work full-time, part-time or on a seasonal basis, employment income will relieve pressure on your other sources of income.
Meet with A financial Professional
No matter what your savings level is, a professional can help you create an investment strategy that fits with your personal situation,
and find savings products that can provide a reliable monthly income. Boomers who sought the help of a financial professional felt more confident in their financial decision-making and more optimistic about their retirement expectations.
Diversify your Retirement Planning tools
There are a wide range of affordable and secure options available to help you save for your retirement, provide income, and protect your assets. Annuities are designed to help you accumulate money for retirement or turn your retirement savings into an income stream. Other investment options to explore include mutual funds, IRAs and Roth IRAs. Visit www.BankersLife. com/TopTips to download a free booklet on Top Tips for Retirees, including Reducing Debt in Retirement, Medicare Enrollment, Managing Prescription Drug Costs and more.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Sports Banquet Continued from page 1
and their sole PIAA Champion, Julian Chlebove, a 120 pound wrestler. Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik praised the school’s
student athletes and stressed the importance of scholastic athletics in an opening address to students. “The board and I view athletics as an extension of our classroom,” Kovalchik said. “It teaches you things that you necessarily don’t learn in the classroom and it really symbolizes what life is all about. In my words it’s about loss and recovery—and that’s really what athletics is about— adapting and overcoming loss.” Kovalchik thanked the district board of education for their investment into athletic programs, and thanked the five members who were in attendance at the banquet. “I’m sure you’re going to take
many memories with you as you move on from Northampton Area High School,” Kovalchik told students. Director of Athletics Shaun Murray described the night as the “culminating event” for the school district’s athletic programs. Murray highlighted the year’s most memorable events: the dedication of Lou Wolf field at Al Erdosy Stadium in September, the football team’s “Turkey Day” victory over Catasauqua High School, the opening of a new softball field at Siegfried Elementary School, and district’s first-ever Cement Belt Championship victory over Whitehall High School. “It’s our athletic department’s

Panic!
The veteran sky diver jumped with his team and skillfully photographed them. Then he reached for his ripcord, discovering to his horror, he had forgotten to put on his parachute! He had over 800 jumps to his credit. Was he so preoccupied with his photographic equipment that he forgot that which was most important in preparation for this jump? The pictures he took looked great. They were shown that night on the evening news. Little had he known that those pictures would record his final moments. Imagine the panic that gripped this man as he realized his imminent death, a death that could have so easily been avoided! Imagine the panic of sinners when “cast into the lake of fire” with the realization that their eternal fate could have been so easily avoided by fully believing in Jesus Christ and having their names “written in the book of life” (Revelation 20:15). Jesus invites, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30). Jesus is The Only Way to heaven (see www.naog.ws/theway.htm). He has accomplished everything on the cross that is needed for you to become a child of God today! Now, it is up to you to believe in Him and receive Him. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” (John 1:12). Do it now! Don’t let anything in this world divert you from doing that which is most important in preparation for eternity. “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
