Little Miss Strawberry contestants

Cement Worker of the Month- Wilford E. Gassler

By ED PANY Wilford Gassler was reared in Ackermansville, graduating from Bangor High School in 1972. He took both the agriculture and college prep courses. At age 13, Wilford worked on a neighbor’s farm for $1.50 hour; he loved the farm.

Submitted by SARAH FULTON Seven eager contestants came out Friday, June 4 for the third Little Miss Strawberry Contest at Bath Farmers' Market. Girls from Bath and Northampton, ages 10 weeks to six years, entered the event. Two year-old Mia Keeler of Bath was chosen as the winner by the vendors.

Contestants are encouraged to dress in their "berry best" attire and parade through the market aisle, where they were applauded by vendors, staff, and the public.

Mia, escorted by mom Brianna Keeler, will have the opportunity to appear in the Bath Halloween Parade.

"I would be honored to have beautiful little Mia ride in our Annual Bath Firefighters Halloween Parade with me!" said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito.

The event is all in fun, and coincides with the arrival of fresh, local strawberries at the farmers market.

Each contestant received a prize. The winner was awarded a sash and tiara from Tracy's Cottage, a bouquet from Hayes Flowers of Bath, $10 in market bucks, and a strawberry ice cream sundae. Second and third prize received sundaes, and all the contestants received $2 in market bucks to spend at any booth.

His favorite high school teacher was Mrs. Miller. She taught English and always encouraged Wilford to improve.

He recalled, “After graduation, I followed my brother Lunsford and enlisted in the U.S. Marines, where I was trained as a radio technician operator and repairman. Unfortunately, my military career was cut short due to an injury.”

Returning home, he was employed at the Buffalo Knitting Mill in Pen Argyl, responsible for the operation and repair of four knitting machines, but the plant would soon close.

Wilford’s father, Gottfried, worked at Hercules, now Buzzi Continued on page 2

Weekday Dinner

By CHRISTINA SANTO The curative amendment hearing between Rock-Lehigh Valley, a subsidiary of the Rockefeller Group, and East Allen Township continued virtually on Wednesday, June 2 at 6:30 p.m.

Rock-Lehigh Valley filed for a hearing in July 2019 after the township denied their rezoning request for 155 acres of land west of Weaversville Road; they asked that the land be rezoned from agricultural to industrial, which would allow for the constructions of two one-million-square-

foot warehouses. According to Rock-Lehigh Valley, the township acted in bad faith and does not allow for logistics centers in their zoning ordinances. Their argument states that a logistics center is different from a warehouse, and is therefore not a use accounted for by the township.

On the other hand, East Allen Township is arguing that they allow for logistics centers since township ordinances list warehouses as an option for land use and development; furContinued on page 2 Available after 4pm.

Further, there are many properties seen on the zoning map that are both available for warehouse use or are currently being used for warehouses. Many of these areas are east of Airport Road, as opposed to the area in question that is located in the southwestern part.

Another part of Rock-Lehigh Valley’s argument is that the Agricultural destination makes the property outdated and unusable.

Amey stated that the East Allen’s Comprehensive Plan recommends the property be used for continuing agricultural use or non-residential use; the recentlyadopted Lehigh Valley Comprehensive Plan recommends that the area be designated as an area of farmland preservation.

The curative amendment hearing will continue on Monday, June 28 at 6:30 p.m. in Allen Township’s Fire Company Building on Howertown Road; there will be time for public comment and closing arguments.

Moore Township Board of Supervisors Discuss traffic impact study and Livestock ordinance

By JASON KAMERY The Moore Township Board of Supervisors met at 6 p.m. on June 1 at the Township Recreation center to discuss the livestock ordinance and the traffic impact study along 512. Due to the high costs of the traffic study and the expected minimal return, the Board of Supervisors decided not to do the traffic impact study on Route 512.

“Based on the fact that if the golf course gets developed, that’s basically the only thing along that corridor to develop,” Richard Gable, township supervisor, said. “We would be spending $80,000 to $100,000, and we are never going to recoup that kind of money.”

The Board of Supervisors voted 3-0 for a separate traffic study to be done along Dell Road to hopefully help reduce the amount of

commercial vehicle traffic the road receives. The expected cost of the study is $3,000 to $4,000.

Also discussed was the livestock ordinance. A township resident asked how the township will differentiate between a farmer who may have an animal wander from the property once every few years and something that’s an actual problem, such as the “goat problem” which originally sparked discussion of a livestock ordinance.

“Everyone in the township who has livestock must keep their livestock on their property,” David Backenstoe, township solicitor, said. “If there is a one-off, Bob Smith owns a couple of goats, and one of them gets away in 10 years, I am going to ask the Chief, is that the type of person who is going to be cited? Or are you just going to give them a notice and

keep the goat on the property?”

Police Chief Gary West agreed with Backenstoe that a one-off incident wouldn’t be the type of person to be cited.

“There is a state law that says your dog must be under your control at all times,” West said.

“There are plenty of dog violations that we investigated. I don’t know, maybe four or five total that we have actually cited someone for. Simply because it wasn’t the first time we have captured that dog,” explained West.

The Board of Supervisors passed a motion to advertise the livestock ordinance.

The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be at 6 p.m. on July 6 at the township building.

Make it Magical

By FRANKLY FERGUSON June is for the poppas, pride, proud parents, accomplishments, freedom and history.

June is a month filled with wonderful holidays and occasions that celebrate the joy of being a dad, the pride we feel in allowing people to be who they are, openly, and focuses on love being about love. It is about the excitement we feel following the graduation of our children moving on to their future lives, and Juneteenth, a holiday that celebrates the emancipation of those who were once enslaved in our country. It is a month filled with love and moments that should be celebrated with family and friends, so let the celebration planning begin, and let's share in the joy of it all.

Father's Day is such an important holiday because celebrating the poppas in our lives helps us to show appreciation for all the hard work they do. If dad is a fisherman, celebrate him with some new fishing gear and some smoked trout. Bake a cake in the shape of a fish and decorate your table with fishing baskets, lures, tall grasses, and you can even get one of those talking fish on a plaque that we have seen in the stores over the past few years...if you dare. If dad is a sports lover, go wild with gear from his favorite team. Decorate your table utilizing colors from his favorite team and prepare a menu that is game day ready. Popcorn in mini popcorn containers, hot dogs in nostalgic hot dog wrappers, soft pretzels wrapped in tissue paper that represent his team, and to really personalize it, get custom photo hand fan faces made on orientaltrading.com. If dad is into BBQ, host a BBQ sauce tasting and pair it with some craft beers. You could even make your own BBQ sauce, bottle it, and create custom labels with his

name/face on them. If dad is a bookworm, fill your table with books from his favorite authors.

You can use bookmarks as favors at each place setting and give him the gift of a blank book that asks questions all about his life. Biography books have become very popular over the past few years and keep the memories alive with information all about the person filling out the book.

June is a month that celebrates the equality of the LGBTQ community. It is a time where we focus on acceptance and breaking the cycle of shame and social stigma surrounding our LGBTQ friends. June is all about love and acceptance and this holiday is filled with recognizing it all.

Pride Month is celebrated utilizing a rainbow flag, which dates back to 1978 when Gilbert Baker designed the flag to represent sex, life, healing, sunlight, nature, art, harmony, and spirit.

It encompasses all the LGBTQ community has strived to be accepted for and people fly this flag proudly throughout the month of June and all year long. This is a symbol you definitely need to incorporate when planning a gay pride/equality celebration.

Decorate your table with all the colors of the rainbow. Incorporate rainbow flags, rainbow cupcakes, use the word pride at your place settings and portray the important message of love and acceptance throughout your design. This is a teachable moment if you have kids so make sure they understand the importance of acceptance and love.

Grab your caps and gowns, it's graduation time. No matter where your child is graduating from, gold and black are often

You can use these colors or the colors of the school your child is graduating from. Decorate with balloons, balloon arches, and use sparklers at each place setting lighting them off while toasting to the grad. Make it magical by adding some personalization to your event. Banners with your graduate's face and name on them, labels for water bottles, stickers for the outside of your favors, personalizing this event is key because it's all about your number one and their big accomplishment. You can use graduation caps on your tables for centerpieces, streamers throughout your house, and don't forget to incorporate their school mascot.

Graduation parties are perfect for candy table displays as well.

Get all different sized jars, fill them with candies that represent the colors from your graduate’s school, add desserts that are the same color scheme as well, and you will have a beautiful display

Juneteenth is a holiday that celebrates the emancipation of African Americans who had been enslaved in the United States. It is a holiday that has gained national attention lately and one that also presents teachable moments that portray the importance of equality and American history.

Dating back to 1865, June 19 is the day all people living in the United States, including the formerly enslaved, were granted freedom. This holiday is a piece of our history and should be celebrated as a day of freedom and unity.

The Juneteenth flag, created

by Ben Haith in 1997, is red, white, and blue with a white star in the middle of it. The star has

June 10-16, 2021 5

a dual meaning. It represents Texas where the last remaining enslaved people were set free and it also is a metaphor for all the African Americans in each of the 50 states. There is a star-shaped circle around the star that represents a new beginning as well. In recent years the colors have shifted to red, green, and black. You can utilize either color scheme when decorating for this holiday, but make sure you incorporate the importance and meaning behind what Juneteenth is.

June is a month of poppas, pride, proud parents, accomplishments, freedom, and American history, and a month that exudes acceptance and love, so celebrate it all and bring to light the important moments this month brings forth.

Keep pets safe in The heat humanesociety.org/resources/keep-pets-safe-heat

The summer months can be uncomfortable— even dangerous—for pets and people. It's difficult enough simply to cope with rising temperatures, let alone thick humidity, but things really get tough in areas that are hit with the double blow of intense heat and storm-caused power outages, sometimes with tragic results.

We can help you keep your pets safe and cool this summer. Follow our tips for helping everyone in your family stay healthy while hot.

Practice basic Summer safety

Never leave your pets in a parked car- not even for a minute. Not even with the car running and air conditioner on. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. On an

85-degree day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within 10 minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees. Your pet may suffer irreversible organ damage or die. Learn how to help a pet left inside a hot car by taking action or calling for help.

Watch the Humidity

"It's important to remember that it's not just the ambient temperature, but also the humidity that can affect your pet," says Dr. Barry Kellogg, VMD, of the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association. "Animals pant to evaporate moisture from their lungs, which takes heat away from their body.

If the humidity is too high, they are unable to

Happy graduation to the Class of 2021!

cool themselves and their temperature will skyrocket to dangerous levels—very quickly."

Taking a dog's temperature will quickly tell you if there is a serious problem. Dogs' temperatures should not reach over 104 degrees.

Limit exercise on Hot days

Take care when exercising your pet. Adjust intensity and duration of exercise in accordance with the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours, and be especially careful with pets with white-colored ears, who are more susceptible to skin cancer, and shortnosed pets, who typically have difficulty breathing.

Asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws, so walk your dog on the grass if possible. Always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating.

Don't rely on a fan Pets respond differently to heat than humans do.

(Dogs, for instance, sweat primarily through their feet.) And fans don't cool off pets as effectively as they do people.

Provide ample shade and water Any time your pet is outside, make sure they have protection from heat and sun and plenty of fresh, cold water. In heat waves, add ice to water when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don't obstruct air flow. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat— in fact, it makes it worse.

cles for dogs. And always provide water, whether your pets are inside or out with you.

Keep your pet from overheating indoors or out with a cooling body wrap, vest or mat. Soak these products in cool water, and they'll stay cool (but usually dry) for up to three days. If your dog doesn't find baths stressful, see if they enjoy a cooling soak.

Watch for signs of Heatstroke

Extreme temperatures can cause heatstroke.

Some signs of heatstroke are heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness.

Animals are at particular risk for heat stroke if they are very old, very

Sheila

Cool your pet inside and out

Whip up a batch of quick and easy DIY pupsi-

young, overweight, not conditioned to prolonged exercise, or have heart or respiratory disease. Some breeds of dogs—like boxers, pugs, shih tzus and other dogs and cats with short muzzles—will have a much harder time breathing in extreme heat.

How to treat a Pet suffering From heatstroke

Move your pet into the shade or an air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to their head, neck and chest or run cool (not cold) water over them. Let them drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes. Take them directly to a veterinarian.

Prepare for Power outages

Before a summer storm takes out the power in your home, create a disaster plan to keep your pets safe from heat stroke and other temperature-related trouble.

Bath Borough explores New security cameras To combat vandalism

By KERI LINDENMUTH During their meeting on Monday, June 7, the Borough of Bath Council listened as several residents told stories of littered parks, vandalism, loud parties, illegal parking, and more.

While many of these incidents brought up by residents that evening were centered around Old Forge Drive and Creek Road, vandalism, litter, and other disturbances have happened around the borough, leaving the public works crew to clean up the mess and frustrated residents wondering where to turn.

“Enough is enough,” said Mayor Fiorella Mirabito. She urged residents to call the Pennsylvania State Police so that every incident is recorded.

Over 40 Yrs. Experience

“Other incidents have happened,” she said. “A little boy was locked in the dog park and no one called state police! Everybody needs to call.”

Council President Mark Saginario added that a new code enforcement officer, who just returned from active military duty, should help bring about change.

“He is pretty energetic and proactive,” he said. “I do not think he is going to put up with anyone’s rudeness out there.”

Like Mayor Mirabito, Saginario encouraged residents to speak up when they see something amiss.

“If you have any complaints, you do not have to wait for this meeting,” he said. “You can call the office [or state police] at any

time.”

With the increase in vandalism over the past several years, council discussed adding more security cameras to public spaces, such as parks. This is a move that Councilman Tony Kovalovsky calls “common sense.”

Several cameras are already in place at undisclosed locations throughout the borough. One of them recently caught a group of juveniles in an act of vandalism. That footage, said Mayor Mirabito, is now in the hands of state police. The imagery is so clear that the juveniles have been identified and even tied to incidents in East Allen Township.

“I push for borough council to please put cameras in all the parks,” she said. “I think we can do some solid enforcement and state police have something to go on.”

The costs of these cameras are

being explored by the borough.

Manager Brad Flynn said there are also grants available.

Cameras at the parks will also help protect new equipment that will soon be installed. Councilman Barry Fenstermaker announced that a new volleyball net, sliding board, and teeter-totter will be installed at Keystone Park later this summer. The Bath Republican Club has also offered to raise funds and donate playground equipment to the borough.

In other news, council began discussions on the possibility of a stormwater runoff fee. This fee is something surrounding municipalities, like Bethlehem and Northampton, are also considering. MS4 requirements implemented by the DEP and EPA are requiring that boroughs reduce stormwater pollution by 10%.

This will require the construc-

tion of stormwater basins and other infiltration systems. A fee would be charged to all parcels in the borough because all properties contribute to stormwater runoff.

Flynn said that several Northampton County managers have attempted to work with state legislators, without much “traction.” The possibility of the County forming a governing authority has also been explored, meaning fees would be levied by the county as opposed to local municipalities.

While no fee has been agreed upon yet, council will be exploring ways to “put pressure on the county to form an authority… [and] regionalize these efforts.”

Councilman Frank Hesch said he would bring up the idea at the next NAZCOG (Nazareth Area Council of Government) meeting.

Northampton Borough Council tables Stormwater fee study Committee indefinitely

By CHRISTINA SANTO At their June 3 meeting, the Northampton Borough tabled the creation of a stormwater fee study committee indefinitely due to a vacancy on the board and two absences. Solicitor Brian Panella stated that tabling the motion indefinitely is by no means eliminating the idea of creating a stormwater fee study committee; the item can be readded to the agenda at the request of any councilmember.

However, Michael Schwartz of Gilmore & Associates estimated that an equitable billing fee for all borough land parcels would be around $40,000, according to manager LeRoy Brobst.

Council also approved a request from the Northampton Area School District to have the fire police assist with traffic control during graduation on June 4 between 7 and 10 p.m., with rain dates on June 5 and 6. Traffic control was provided at the intersections of Smith Lane and Pany Drive and Kids Way and Laubach Avenue.

Fire Police Chief and Councilman Kenneth Hall expressed he was not very pleased with the short notice of the request since they knew about it well in advance and the fire police members have other planned events and families. Hall wished that more notice would be given for these types of events; councilmembers Judy Kutzler and Anthony Lopsonzski Sr. agreed with this sentiment.

In other business, council approved a request for a 15-minute parking zone for the newlyopened Cakes on Main at 929 Main St. Restrictions will occur Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday between 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Robert Baer’s resignation from the Zoning Hearing Board was approved. Council will begin accepting applications for the empty seat; interested residents can pick up an application at the Borough Office. Additionally, applications for an empty seat on the planning commission will

continue to be accepted. Borough resident Sandra Pudliner was originally going to be appointed to replace Robert McHale on the planning commission; however, the motion was tabled, and she will defer to the zoning hearing board commission.

Lopsonzski Sr. stated that another sink was broken in the Municipal Park restroom, which was the third time during the month of May. It seems that surveillance may be needed outside the restrooms to put an end to the vandalism through citations from the code officers.

He also wanted to express that residents cannot put chairs, fences, garbage cans, etc. in the street to “reserve” parking spots. There is no such thing that exists in the vehicle code; however, this does exist in the crimes code as placing garbage in the streets. Lopsonzski Sr. noted that these items will be removed by the road crew, and if the identity of the person who put the item out is known, they can and will be cited for putting garbage in the street.

The next Northampton Borough Council meeting will be held on Thursday, June 17 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

Police Blotter Risking catastrophe/ Criminal mischief On June 4, the CRPD responded to the Hampton Inn at 3723 Easton Nazareth Highway for a fire alarm, water flow alert.

Upon arrival police observed water coming from a room on the third floor. The fire department made entry into the room and discovered the sprinkler was activated and there was a male inside the room. The male was ordered out of the room and detained.
