Steel beams for Coplay Bridge May pass through Howertown Park

By KERI LINDENMUTH Project managers for the Coplay Bridge construction project appeared before the Allen Township Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, June 12 to request access to Howertown Park and Short Lane for the project’s steel beam transportation. Construction on Route 329 has threatened to put the project, on schedule since December 2016, in a delay that could cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Ten steel beams, between 130 and 180 feet long, are scheduled to pass through the township around July 16. However, the recent Route 329 construction project, which detours drivers onto Atlas and Savage Roads, has project managers worried. The

trucks transporting the beams will not be able to fit on either road. Simply attempting to navigate these roads will create a traffic standstill and a dangerous driver-safety issue, project managers say. “No other route [besides 329] can handle the beams,” said Larry Franco, project manager. As a result, Franco and his team, on behalf of Lehigh and Northampton Counties, are requesting access to Howertown Park and Short Lane. They believe that their drivers can turn off 329 onto Short Lane and cut across a short parcel of the park, avoiding the detour, before entering back onto Route 329. They propose to construct Continued on page 3

Edelman School I am over in Upper Nazareth speaking to Raymond and Bill Smith, whose relative, Charles Smith, a quarry foreman, was killed in the 1942 Sandt’s Eddy Cement quarry explosion. Raymond’s father Stewart also lost his life in the explosion at the old Sunny Slope Dehydrating plant in East Allen Township a number of years ago. Raymond lived in Upper Edelman’s, which is north on Route 191 east of Belfast. The family resided on a 27-acre farm containing the Edelman Hard Vein Slate quarry. The quarry slate was mined by a crew of 12 employees. The slate was hoisted from the quarry with two old automobile engines and was moved by both truck and rail to out of state markets. I asked Bill if the family re-

ceived any royalty. He thought they may have received $100 annually. Raymond attended the Upper Edelman one-room schoolhouse. The building has been restored and is open to the public annually. Mr. Smith said, ‘The school consisted of grades one to eight. There were 30 students and one teacher. “Some of the former teachers were Naaman Peil, Mildred Arndt and Stanley Kressler, who later became principal at Easton High School. “The trusty outhouse had a tablet on the door, one side was In, the other Out. You turned the card and the two-seater was occupied. “For water we took a bucket Continued on page 6

and Blue Mountain Drive in the township. The parking situation at the location was discussed after a resident was concerned that the overflow parking lot has space for 35 cars and the winery is only approved to have 25 people at any event, per zoning. It was clarified by the board that the capacity of the overflow lot does not supersede the recommendations of the zoning board. They also noted that it would be easy to enforce because there would only be a few events held at the winery every month. Lehigh Township Engineer, Phillip Malitsch, of Hanover Engineering, then gave a lengthy report to the board and a small group of residents who are impacted about the water runoff problem on and near Butternut Drive. He first addressed the theory that some neighbors have posited about rainwater being diverted from the nearby Heritage Village development. Malitsch says the findings do not support the idea that Heritage Village is causing these runoff issues. He said that the small amount of water from a portion of the development that flows east into a marshy area on resident Donald Ryan’s land is far too light to cause the kind of problems they have been seeing on the road and adjacent properties. A suspect head wall in Heritage Village was also ruled out by the engineers as the cause of the problem. While the engineer was on site there was a small rainstorm - Lehigh Valley International Airport reported a trace amount - and the basins in Heritage Village were already collecting water, indicating that they are working as intended Malitsch said that a big contributor to the problem is the flow of the water through the “wetlands” on the Ryan property into the Heffelfinger farm fields that then directs the water to continue onto Butternut Drive. The farm fields are covered in hydric soil, which is soil that is water-logged and unable to suck up any additional moisture. The nature of the soil facilitates even more water flow through the property. “This is a biblical amount of water that is coming down here,” Malitsch said. When considering options about solving the problem, one of the major issues was the fact that much of what is causing it is located on private property and the township typically does not do work on non-public land. Malitsch said that fixing the flow of water onto the roadway,a major safety concern when it freezes in the winter, is actually a fairly simple proposition that would require some grading. But, while “solving the road problem is easy, fixing the impact on the residents is not,” he said. He explained that it could be improved, but you will never completely remove the problem without exContinued on page 6

a temporary road in the park and then restore the park to its natural conditions “100 percent.” The ten deliveries will be spread across three days, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. They will be accompanied by a state police escort. Should the drivers be allowed to access Howertown Park and Short Lane, an operator will be on hand to dress the road between deliveries. The contractors propose an expedited timeframe- “building the roads on day one; transporting the beams on days two, three, and four; and restoring the roads and park on day five.” Despite these details, Allen Township supervisors were wary. They wondered whether the beams could be delivered at night, to which Franco responded that their contract with PennDOT states the beams can only be delivered between dawn and dusk for safety reasons. Supervisors also worried about the

weight of the beams on Short Lane, in addition to compounded traffic issues. “Time is critical,” urged Franco. Without accessing Howertown Park, the beams cannot be delivered until the Route 329 project is completed. He said this would put a six-week to seven-week delay on the entire bridge construction project, one that could cause costs of the project, funded by local and state taxes, to go up “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Allen Township Supervisors tabled their decision, requesting that Franco return during their

June 26 meeting with more detailed plans. They also requested that he “push harder” with PennDOT for night delivery. “You have your schedule, but we have the township to worry about, too,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler.

East Allen Township Awarded grant from Northampton County Gaming Authority By KERI LINDENMUTH East Allen Township has been awarded a grant from the disbanded Northampton County Gaming Authority in the amount of $31,440 , leaving East Allen supervisors with a decision to make on where to allocate the funds. These funds can be used on nearly everything, from “mental health projects to building projects,” said township manager Brent Green during supervisors’ June 13 meeting. Restrictions, he added, are very few. Some supervisors requested possible security cameras at Bicentennial Park, following the ransacking of several cars during a recent sporting event. The township will distribute letters to the other township boards and commissions, asking

for ideas. The funds can be split and used toward multiple projects. The township has until May 2019 to spend the money. In addition to the discussion on grant funds during the meeting, supervisors also passed a draft resolution that would ban nepotism for township employees. Anyone hired by the township will not be allowed to request the employment of spouses, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, or any other direct relatives. Finally, Ambulance Corps Captain Jon Kopishke and President Justine Huber delivered a presentation about the township’s EMS department. The department currently has 32 operational members, most of whom live in other Continued on page 6

Seven reasons Why sports and Small business Are alike

Sports, sports, sports. I spent this past Sunday watching a Lacrosse tournament where my feisty grandson is on the team. First game lost 10-0, played the best team of the tournament, didn’t seem fair but they played hard. Then we found out that the next game was with the same team. That seemed even more unfair and they lost again. The last game in the blazing sun brought another 10-2 loss but my grandson scored one goal and had an assist on the other one. Today we are all burnt to a crisp but it was worth it to spend time with family on Father’s Day. There was a lot of time to watch people and how they behave during a competition. Of course there was, ‘go get ‘um, run faster, get the stick.’ There were cheers when a goal was scored and audible sighs when they lost a goal. The referees were fair and friendly and even came over to wish all the dads a Happy Father’s Day. In between the games the coaches were gathering the kids to get them cooled down, water, shade, Gatorade, and small plates of food. So I was thinking, how does a sport compare to a small business? Every team has a coach, someone who can teach you the sport or business and help you when things go wrong and compliment you when you succeed. When you work for someone you expect him or her to be fair. Fairness is probably the most underestimated asset in a small business and in sports. Sometimes things are very unfair, and the team or staff needs to learn how to cope. When you score a big goal, the team shares in the success: high fives, cheers and congratulations. In business many times a success at the end of the day goes to the

erational costs, aging equipment, and volunteer availability. Despite this, Kopishke sees a bright future. “We have a lot of very dedicated people,” he said.

team. At the end of the day, it’s important to share a beverage or some food to celebrate or sometimes to just chill. Sometimes you have to suffer a bit to get better at what you do. Always give the team credit when scoring a success. At the end of the day, if you are on a team, whether it be a sport or a job, there is no “i” in team. Be a humble winner and be a respectful loser. Work hard, do your best, listen to your coach and set an example for the rest of the team. Teach your employees or your lacrosse team to take the high road, even when it’s sometimes lonely at the top.

municipalities. “That says a lot about the community, that people want to volunteer here,” said Kopishke. Kopishke highlighted exciting events impacting the EMS. He said an upcoming Discovery Channel television series, “Master at Arms,” was filmed over the course of a month in East Allen Township, which the EMS team participated in. He also said they will be helping film another Discovery Channel series in a few weeks. He added that the EMS will be on duty at Willow Brook Farm’s upcoming rodeo, and will also be delivering first aid training to the township’s summer camp counselors. However, Kopishke also listed some struggles the ambulance corps is having, including op-

and broom stick handle with a notch in the middle for two students to carry the water from the Moser Farm to the earthen crock in the school house. “The school had a pipeless heater and when we went to school on Monday morning it was dinner time until the room warmed up. We were assigned loads of homework and if you didn’t complete it, you were assigned more until it was all done.” “Discipline was strict. On the wall hung a cow strap. Just looking at it all day told you, you better behave or else.”

tensive work on private property. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe mentioned getting possible easements “for the public benefit” but this wasn’t discussed any further. “Public enemy number one is water on the Heffelfinger farm,” Malitsch concluded. The council, sans Chairman Daryl Snover, who was absent, unanimously passed a motion to investigate options for the Butternut Drive water runoff with the Public Works Department and Engineering. Near the end of the meeting Supervisor Phil Gogel noted that the head of the public works department, Franklin Zamadics was not present at the meeting and was being represented by an hourly employee who was earning overtime pay to be there. Gogel made a motion to specifically demand Frank to attend the meetings that was seconded by Supervisor Cindy Miller. Supervisors Keith Hantz and Michael Jones defeated the motion. Later on, referencing the minutes from a prior meeting, Gogel pointed out that they had already passed a motion mandating the director to be present at the first meeting of each month. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be on June 26 at 7 p.m. at the Lehigh Township Municipal Building, 1069 Municipal Road in Walnutport.

Public school, Fifth grade

A Bath ordinance enacted in 1856 required the owner or keeper of any dog running at large when proud or in heat, to pay a $5 fine. I’m not sure if this was still the law in 1956 when I was in the fifth grade at Bath Public School. I had a small dog named Toddy, that every day when I walked home for lunch, would bark to join me on the walk back to school. One afternoon, I was already back on the school grounds before the first bell, when Toddy came running onto the school yard. She evidently slipped her collar and followed my scent to the school. It was fun being the center of attention as kids gathered around to see a dog at school. When the class bell rang and the kids went inside, I told her to wait patiently until school was over, before I went inside to class. As I sat at my desk, I had a comforting feeling as though I was a 19th century Tom Sawyer with his dog

waiting to walk along home after school. But soon after class began, Toddy started barking from under the open classroom window. The more she barked, the more annoyed our teacher, Mrs. Lottie Shupp, began to look. Finally, she walked over to look out the window, then asked me if that was my dog. I proudly said it was, but she was not amused. She ordered me to take the dog home and warned if it came back again, she would have it taken to the dog pound. I suppose boys and dogs never change, but the times do and the days of Tom Sawyer were over.

In the good old summer time. . . Yep, it’s not the song but the hot temperatures around this neck of the woods – highs in the mid 90’s as summer has arrived! Just right, as swimmers take to the area swimming pools . . . Northampton County Area Agency on the aging is looking for centennians to honor in September. I don’t know of any in Northampton County, but Betty Gehring is over in Lehigh County. Most people don’t live to that ripe old age. Now the average is in the 80’s and few in the 90’s. . . When the Manoquesy Lodge in Bath had their annual banquet on June 3, they celebrated 150 years of the organization in Bath and the Grand Master from Philly came up to celebrate with everyone. . . Speaking of Philly, the Phils have won a couple series in a row with some long balls. I hope they keep it up. . . Gas prices have been up lately – around $2.90 to $3.00 a gallon regular just as it’s vacation time – may go to the beach to cool off, there’s plenty to do there. . . Good to see the special events on Fridays at the Bath Farmer’s Market. The park looks nice, too. . .

Three crashes in two days in Lehigh Township

Submitted by SCOTT FOGEL On Wednesday, June 13, at approximately 10 a.m., Lehigh Township Police were dispatched to the 1400 block of Blue Mountain Drive for a tractor-trailer into the woods. The truck, an International Truck tractor pulling a flatbed trailer, was traveling down the mountain on Blue Mountain Drive. As the truck traveled through the sharp curve, the truck jackknifed and left the roadway. The truck was operated by Keyller Gonzalez, 26 years old of Allentown. Gonzalez was not injured in the crash. The truck Carrier is Phil Logistics, 274 Butler Ave., Butler, PA. Speed was a factor in the crash and the truck is being held pending a post crash inspection. The roadway was closed for over an hour for tow crews to extricate the truck from the woods. On Thursday, June 14, at 7 a.m. Lehigh Township Police were dispatched to Route 248 and Indian Trail Road for a two vehicle head-on crash involving a tri-axle Freightliner dump truck and black Chevrolet Malibu. The Freightliner was driven by Dilman Carrillo, 52 years old of Jersey City, NJ, and the truck was fully loaded. The company who owns the truck is Zelia Trucking Inc. of Colonia, NJ. The Freightliner was traveling westbound on 248 negotiating the curve at Indian Trail Road. According to witnesses, the dump truck swerved into the oncoming lane of travel and collided head-on with the Malibu, driven by Jeffrey Sell, 24 years old of Lehigh Township. The Malibu rolled over onto the roof in a culvert. Sell was wearing a seatbelt and received minor injuries in the crash. The truck operator was uninjured. The Freightliner dump truck is being held for a post-crash inspection and weight verification. On the same date, at 10:30 a.m., Lehigh Township Police were dispatched to a crash on Route 946 (W. Mountain View Drive) at Oak Road, for a two vehicle collision involving a car and a motorcycle. Arnold Vogel, 77 years old of Lehigh Township was traveling east on 946. According to a witness, Vogel, who was driving a Ford Taurus,

turned left onto Oak Road, in front of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. The motorcycle, operated by Gary Barkanic, 61 years old of Palmerton, collided with the Ford and was thrown from the motorcycle. Barkanic was flown via PennStar to St. Luke’s Hospital, Fountain Hill for numerous injuries. Barkanic was not wearing a helmet. A crash reconstruction officer from Lehigh responded to the scene. The roadway was closed for almost three hours. The crash is still under investigation. Lehigh Township Fire Department and Lehigh Township Fire Police, as well as Northampton Regional EMS assisted with all three crashes.

“Come As You Are!”

Early one morning fire broke out in a house on a narrow street. The alarm was sounded by a policeman on duty. Before the fire engines could get to the scene, however, flames were leaping high into the air. Suddenly a young man appeared at an upper window in his pajamas. Firemen quickly placed a ladder against the burning building. But to the consternation of all, he refused to come down, shouting back that he had to get dressed first. The firemen pleaded, “Come as you are! Come as you are!” but to no avail. From below they tried to ascend the stairs, but were turned back as the wind fanned the flames into fury. When a rescuer tried to enter through a window, the heat and smoke forced him away. Suddenly the stairs gave way and the roof fell in! The young man had waited too long and was buried beneath the burning ruins! How much greater tragedy awaits all who refuse to “Flee from the wrath to come” (Matthew. 3:7). Many reject God’s offer and provision of salvation because they want to get dressed first in clothes of selfworks and self-righteousness. Yet the Bible clearly teaches that we cannot be saved through such self-effort, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us” (Titus 3:5). “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Come as you are and He will accept you for He promises, “Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out” (John 6:37). Just as the firemen pleaded, “Come as you are!” so Jesus pleads with you, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Don’t delay! Come now while there is time for the Bible declares, “Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).

(NAPSI)—When the temperature’s rising, your energy costs don’t have to. These tips from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency can help: 1. Keep the Heat Out and the Cool In—Sealing and insulating your home can save you up to $200 a year in utility bills. Find and seal air leaks with spray foam, caulk and weather stripping. Seal and insulate the cooling system ducts in your attic. Considering new windows? ENERGY STAR certified windows have coatings that let in light but keep out heat. Replacing old windows with these lowers household energy bills 12 percent on average. Also, keep shades down and drapes closed. 2. Maintain Your Cooling System—Have a contractor check and clean evaporator

and condenser air-conditioning coils, check your central air conditioner’s refrigerant level and adjust if necessary, and clean and adjust blower components. Inspect, clean or change your system’s air filter every three months. 3. Need a Room AC?—If you’re getting a room air conditioner, be aware that models with the ENERGY STAR label have been independently certified to deliver energy savings, comfort, and improved sealing and insulation. On average, they cost as little as $70 per year to run. A room air conditioner with connected functionality can: • Turn off the unit remotely using your phone or computer; • Schedule changes to temperature settings based on your needs;

• Get feedback on the energy use of the product. Choose the right size AC. An oversized unit will only remove some of the humidity, leaving the room with a damp, clammy feeling. When installing an AC, follow the instructions and use the insulation materials included. 4. Get Set for Savings—Install a new ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat for energy savings with environmental benefits, reliable performance, and convenience, insight and control. A Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat can automatically adjust heating and cooling temperature settings for optimal performance. If you have a manual or programmable thermostat, set the temperature up to save energy when you’re asleep or away. 5. Choose and Use Products to Keep Your Cool—In hot weather, use an ENERGY STAR certified ceiling fan in the counterclockwise direction. This creates a wind-chill effect, making you “feel” cooler. Replace incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR certified LED bulbs. These produce about 70 to 90 percent less heat, so they’re safer and can cut energy costs. For more information and tips, visit www.energystar.gov/cooling.

Families attend East Allen Egg Hunt By KERI LINDENMUTH The East Allen Township Volunteer Fire Department held its annual egg hunt on Saturday, March 31 at Bicentennial Park. The event had previously been postponed due to some unusual winter weather that left the park unsuitable for an egg hunt.

However, on Saturday, the warm weather was out and the sun was shining when between 150 and 200 children excitedly waited to fill their baskets with colorful plastic eggs and candy. The egg hunt was held for four different age groups: ages zero to two, ages three to four, ages five

to seven, and ages eight to 10. About 2,000 candy-filled eggs were up for grabs (500 for each group), including several gold, prize-winning eggs. Children bounded through the park, gathering as many eggs as they could. While only a few walked away with special prizes,

there were smiles all around. Every single participant was given a bag of candy, which was donated by Josh Early Candies, Giant, Wegmans, and several other local businesses. Meanwhile, the Easter Bunny was there to greet families and take plenty of photos.
