Nazareth Memorial Day Parade

Moore Elementary student

Cassie Tampier places 2nd In stock market competition

Memorial Day services honor those Who gave the ultimate sacrifice

By KERI LINDENMUTH

Memorial Day services were held throughout Northampton County over Memorial Day weekend, with residents, veterans and families of service men and women gathered together at churches, cemeteries and monuments to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

The Sons of Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic held ten services over the holiday weekend across the Northampton area, including at Allen Union Cemetery on the morning of May 29. The group, made up of men who are descendants of Civil War Union soldiers, was accompanied by the TriCommunity Marching Band. The cemetery service was led by Richard Webster, superintendent of the cemetery, and also featured an address from Reverend Patrick Lamb, pastor of the Queenship of Mary Church in Northampton.

“Sadly, too often, we take our freedom for granted,” Pastor Lamb told the assemblage. “None of us gets to where we are in our lives alone.”

The annual Spring Stock Market Challenge recently concluded with a student from the Northampton Area School District triumphing once again.

Moore Elementary fifth grader

Cassie Tampier won second place in the elementary and middle school division for Northampton County. Cassie is the third student from Moore Elementary to place in the top three in ei-

He shared the story of Captain Charlie Plumb, a U.S. soldier in Vietnam who was held as a prisoner of war after his fighter jet was shot down. Plumb survived and, years after the war, met the

soldier who packed his parachute that day, saving his life.

“Who is packing your parachute?” Pastor Lamb asked the assemblage. “Who has gone on before us to help us get where we are today?”

Memorial Day Services

Memorial Day is a day to feel grateful for those individuals, he continued. Say a prayer for those who are deceased, he said, and send thanks to those still living.

The Sons of Veterans recited the Gettysburg Address before a rifle salute and the playing of Taps by the Tri-Community Band. The band also performed “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” “The Star Spangled Banner” and “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies.”

The assemblage joined them in song. 2023 marks the 113th year of the Sons of Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic. Every Memorial Day since 1911, the group has visited ten cemeteries around Northampton. VFW Post 4714 also played a role in the day’s ceremony by placing flags at the graves of the cemetery’s veterans.

As the service, moving, thought-provoking and patriotic, ended and the assemblage went their separate ways, they carried the day’s meaning with them, ensuring, as Lincoln’s address stated 159 years ago: “that these dead shall not have died in vain.”

ther the statewide or county-wide competition in the last five years.

Students started with $100,000 to invest using the Personal Finance Lab online trading platform, with an objective of earning the greatest return on investment at the conclusion of the 10-week competition.

“I learned how to pick a stock, now my family wants me to pick stocks for them. I was surprised that I won second place!” said Cassie.

Cassie, under the leadership of teacher Christopher Hoenscheid, increased her portfolio value by 4.54%.

“This win is all Cassie's doing. She made some smart investments, with two of her stocks returning almost 15% in 10 weeks. She did the research, she picked the stocks and she was successful," said gifted support teacher Hoenscheid.

The annual contest is hosted by the Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy through Brighter Financial Futures and sponsored by Fidelity Bank.

The Pennsylvania Council on Financial Literacy (PennCFL) exists to prepare the next generation to rise up. They strive to change the future by offering all Pennsylvania students in grades K-12 with personal finance education, a stock market and personal budgeting game, along with entrepreneurship skills that will help them thrive in the workforce and in life.

Lehigh Township Supervisors hear Turkey Hill update and more

By LAURA KLOTZ

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, May 23 at 7 p.m.

Daniel Taroli, legal representative for the Turkey Hill relocation project in Cherryville, was present to give the board updates. Taroli provided the board with a letter requesting an extension on the time for plan recording, explaining that PennDOT is causing the delay. The current round of submissions from Turkey Hill will hopefully be the final one, but they are seeking an extension for plan recording to ensure there is enough time to completely finish them. Turkey Hill will be ceding some land to PennDOT to allow them to widen the road. Board vice-chairman Cynthia Miller pointed out that this project has been in the works for seven years, and urged Turkey Hill to push back a little harder to make PennDOT stop stalling. Miller has spoken with Senator Nick Miller, who is going to look into the situation. Taroli thanked her for doing that and promised to relay her words to his client, whom he stated is very excited and wants the project to move forward. The board agreed to the extension request, which will change the deadline from June 30 to November 30.

Next the board heard from David Lear of Lehigh Engineering, who was representing the Timothy L. Pitts projects. Pitts owns land on Mountain View Drive and was previously approved for a mobile/manufactured home park on his property. Lear explained that a habitat study has been completed on the property, and a turtle habitat was found, so adjustments to the plans for the minor subdivision must be made to protect the animals.

Meanwhile, for the land development plan, they are waiting for approval from various outside groups such as the Army Corps of Engineers. For both projects, Lear requested extensions of time for plan approval as both plans were set to expire on June 11. The board agreed to extend the minor subdivision’s deadline for plan approval until August 31 and the land development deadline until October 31.

The Cherryville intersection project is complete, except for a few minor details which need to be corrected in regards to payroll.

Bids have been received for the maintenance building project, which will be overseen by W2A Architects, and architect Christine DeOliveira Carl was on hand to answer questions for the board. The bids were approved to total $4,310,952 for the project. It was proposed that a groundbreaking ceremony be held once the project has begun, to allow the community to celebrate.

At the previous meeting, a discussion was tabled regarding hiring a consultant to assist the ad hoc and zoning committees in their ongoing efforts to revise zoning and SALDO ordinances. It was agreed that an effort will begin to find such a professional, with a hope of obtaining at least three bids for the task. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe explained the consultant will meet with the committees to learn their concerns and figure out how to begin, then find what changes need to be made and prepare a packet of information for the board to review.

The board has met with Neil Ettinger, the solicitor who works with the zoning board, as discussed at prior meetings. It was agreed that he will be paid for the informational packets he provides to the zoning representatives, and will continue to supply them with this information; however, moving forward, he will no longer provide post-hearing notices,

Allen Township Supervisors discuss Upcoming detours, grant Opportunities

By KERI LINDENMUTH

During their meeting on May 23, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors announced the planned start dates for two detours impacting township drivers this June.

First, the Indian Trail Road Bridge Replacement project will officially begin on June 1, with a detour going into effect that day. The site of the bridge will be closed completely, with a detour taking drivers north on Kreidersville Road and Walnut Drive to Route 248.

The Howertown Road Bridge Replacement project will also start at the beginning of June, with the detour active on June 5. There will be flagged traffic patterns the week leading up to the detour. Once the detour is in effect, only northbound traffic will be allowed through the construction site. Southbound traffic will detour via Old Carriage Road to Seemsville Road.

Supervisor and Fire Chief Dale Hassler said the department has reviewed the detours and has emergency plans in place.

In other news, supervisors granted a time extension for the preliminary/final land development plan for the proposed Wawa at Route 329 and Savage Road until September 4. Meanwhile, supervisors officially rejected the proposed land development plan at 559 Atlas Rd. after the applicant withdrew their plan for a twin home unit. The land was sold to an individual who plans to develop a single-family home.

Supervisors also approved a June 10 fireworks display at the Lappawinzo Fish and Game Association. The fireworks display, scheduled for 9 p.m., is limited to one hour by township ordinance.

Township Manager Ilene Eckhart also announced that the township was awarded an LSA gaming grant for $219,000. The township originally applied for $159,900 to replace an old public works backhoe. With these extra funds, the township plans to replace its equipment trailer as well.

“So we do not leave anything on the table,” explained Eckhart.

The township also received a backlogged sewer funding grant. While they originally applied for an equipment grant, the township no longer has any immedi-

ceived from Officer Jessica Edwards effective June 1 and was unanimously accepted.

The resident of 4358 Maple Dr. has requested the installation of a “Children At Play” sign on the street. This is a state road and PennDOT’s permission is required, so a formal letter of request will be submitted.

ate equipment needs. Instead, the township plans to use the funds toward public sewer improvements, including manhole rehabilitation and infiltration installations. The cost is estimated to be around $200,000.

Finally, supervisors discussed truck traffic with a concerned resident who asked whether anything prevents traffic from leaving the Jaindl-Watson development on Seemsville Road and driving onto Howertown Road. Truck traffic is not permitted on Howertown Road.

Hassler said the township did consider barriers, but would be liable if any accidents should occur. Signs, as well as an internal turnaround, were installed. However, Hassler admitted that the signs, which direct truck traffic to turn left onto the turnaround, are confusing. Drivers mistake the signs as instructions to turn left onto Howertown Road.

Eckhart said she has had continual discussions with the warehouse owners, who are receptive to the concerns. The miscommunication stems from drivers using their own GPS systems.

“[The drivers] are going to do what they want to,” added Hassler.

Township Solicitor Lincoln Treadwell said Eckhart should continue to contact the property owners with concerns to avoid miscommunications.

The next Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be held Tuesday, June 13 at 6 p.m.

Miller and Township Manager Alice Rehrig attended a convention for PSATS (Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors) and, as promised at a previous meeting, Miller prepared an overview for the other board members. Of particular note, she said that attendees were reminded that signage and flags for elections, political viewpoints, and religion are, when placed on private property, strictly protected by the First Amendment and the township has no authority to remove or censor them.

A letter of resignation was re-

A letter has been received from the accounting firm handling the audit of the 2022 budget; they have encountered some issues which will require an additional fee in order to complete the audit. The discussion was deferred to the executive session, but it was agreed to pay the fee. Board members also approved Rehrig applying for the second phase of the security upgrade grant. They reviewed the two options presented for the new signs at Danielsville and Delps parks and agreed to the one recommended by the recreation committee.

During public comment, it was mentioned the roads at Indian Trail Park, which were paved last summer, are being damaged by garbage trucks. The matter will be referred to Frank Zamadics of the public works department.

The board then adjourned for an executive session to discuss personnel matters.

The next meeting of the Board of Supervisors is scheduled for Tuesday, June 13 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, located at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

Incremental

hour in the classroom or library, but we also saw it on TV as Bugs Bunny was repeatedly frustrated by the awfully slow turtle during their race to the finish.

The moral of the story, the takeaway, for me at least, was that when we set our jaw on something, a goal or desire, personally or professionally, whatever it may be, and steadily move forward undeterred, more often than not, you will at some point savor the end result you set out to achieve. Do you think this actually makes sense looking back on this teaching now that we have lived through many decades of life’s experiences? Asked

another way, do you still believe that slow and steady actually can win the race as we were told via the rabbit/hare moral back in grade school? I can say unabashedly that, for myself, yes, it does.

The real issue is that, by and large, the human aspect has a tendency to want a realized outcome to their goals and aspirations immediately. While this may be an innate desire generally, it may not always be for the best, nor work out the way we want.

Let’s change the verbiage around from slow and steady to a better term for our modern day. That term is incremental. Moving the ball forward little bits at a time really does score the touchdown at some point. You and I could consider many examples of just how much incremental improvements and gains have led to much benefit in our lives. My guess is that poor incremental gains in the wrong direction have also led to undesirable outcomes.

If you consistently stretch you will become more flexible. You don’t stretch hard one day and then once six months later and expect to do full Russian splits with ease, do you? I sure hope not and please do not attempt otherwise you will be scheduling in my office sooner than you want.

Should you eat a little better and stay on the program, you will keep lean. Should you write a paragraph per day, you will have a novel written before you know it. On and on we could go and heartbreakingly, the same could be said about bad incrementally consistent patterns such as smoking, drinking, etc.

Now I will share that slow and steady incremental gains, pointed in the right direction, do not always lead to what we thought. No, oftentimes God has a better plan and He simply wants you to get going and stay after it.

When I met my then girlfriend, now wife, for the first time I didn’t ask her to marry me right then and there as I wanted. No, I actually had to court her, of course, and by golly, I did just that. The incremental issue with that whole scenario, as you already know, are far and wide and they ranged from, then deciding I better put on deodorant, to holding doors open…and all the rest that a young rooster does to garner attention from a solid

prospect! It took endless, small actionable steps to get the deal done.

Same is true for many aspects; we just need to see this for the truth it is.

Whether you are keenly aware or not, you yourself have been utilizing this discussed incremental technique more often than not in virtually every area of your life. Personal or professional development can take big

leaps. I get that, yet if you take a moment to consider, you will see all those breakthroughs settled on the foundation of all those small things that came prior.

Fallen heroes honored by American Legion Eckley E. Patch Post 470

By CATHERINE STROH

A Memorial Day service was held on the front lawn of the American Legion Eckley E. Patch Post 470 on Sunday, May 28 to honor America’s fallen heroes.

Prior to the service at the Legion, five local cemeteries were visited to honor the fallen, where a member of the Auxiliary placed one red rose upon the headstone of a veteran as a token of enduring memory at each cemetery.

“These flowers may wither, but the spirit of which they are the symbol will endure the end of time,” said Post Commander Brian Radcliffe.

At Post 470 in Bath, Legion members, residents and veterans gathered to remember, celebrate and honor all the brave men and women who have fought in the defense of the nation, who paid the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country so that we may remain safe and free.

“Today we honor all of those men and women who have so bravely served in the Armed Forces and died courageously on the battlefield or by the grace of God and time,” said Commander Radcliffe, followed by a moment of silence.

Commander Radcliffe then read the Honor Roll of all the members the Legion has lost this past year: Neil Angst, Alfred Birosik, Richard Dech, Vincent Dondiego, Walter Jandrositz, Ronald Jankowski, John Kovalovski, Michael Lilly, Carl Moyer, Robert Werner, Allen Winter and George Wuchter.

Following was a reading of the poem, “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae.

“As we celebrate this weekend as the ‘unofficial’ start of summer, with parties and picnics, never forget those who are not here to join us,” urged Commander Radcliffe. “As kids enjoy their last remaining days of school and pools, beaches and amusement parks open up for the season, never forget those who’ve died so you can celebrate and enjoy these luxuries that we have.”

Commander Radcliffe urged those attending to also remember the men and women who made it home from battle but cannot enjoy such celebrations due to their suffering from the traumas of war.

“For many of our brave who answered their call of duty, not played it on Xbox, know firsthand that you can’t just hit the reset button and start over,” said Commander Radcliffe.

Before closing the annual ceremony, Commander Radcliffe asked one small favor of those in attendance:

“As you leave here today and head to your picnics and parties, please, just for a few min-

utes, when you pass by one of the many cemeteries in the area, and you see all those graves marked with their bronze marker and the colors of our country waiving over it, stop your car, get out, and walk through with your family,

especially if you have children; take a walk through and actually look at the headstones, see what they can tell you. You may be surprised at what you can learn in a small piece of granite and that little bronze plaque.”

Moravian Historical Society to Host annual Festival

Submitted by SUSAN ELLIS

The Moravian Historical Society will host the 45th Annual Arts and Crafts Festival on Saturday, June 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We are excited to announce that this year’s festival will be bigger and better than ever,” said Executive Director Susan Ellis.

Hosted on the beautiful lawn of the Moravian Historical So-

ciety, the Arts and Crafts Festival is one of the Lehigh Valley’s longest-running outdoor arts and crafts festivals. This year, the festival will host a record number of craft vendors on its historic 18th century property located at 214 E. Center St. in Nazareth.

The festival is free to attend and will feature more than 115 local artisans and crafters selling handmade products, including original artwork and photography, jewelry, candles and soaps, woodworked items, fabric and fiber arts, and more.

In addition to crafts vendors, the festival will also offer food and beverage trucks, live entertainment and music, and familyfriendly activities. The musical entertainers are Ziggy Blue, the Nazareth Community Band, and trio Dina Hall, Andy Killcoyne and Rameen Shayegan. A colonial-costumed guide will give free walking tours of historic Nazareth.

Established in 1857, the Moravian Historical Society offers permanent and special exhibitions on local and international history. Festival attendees are welcome to tour the museum and view the special exhibition on Moravian contributions to early American music.

Memory Lane

Morningstar Living is dedicated to providing education to caregivers, professionals and community members about dementia-related diseases. Memory Lane is an initiative aimed at providing information and education to the public, specifically about dementia.

If you are caring for someone who has dementia you will understand that there are times when dementia related behaviors can be difficult to manage. In this seminar, care partners will learn about common behaviors of individuals living with dementia (incl. agitation, physical and verbal aggression, suspicion, repetition, wandering confusion, etc.) We will also review tips and strategies to help care partners respond to these behaviors.
