S. SEEM ROADSHOW JUNE 29
Submitted by CAROL BEAR-HECKMAN S. Seem Antiques & Artisans in Historic Bath PA will be hosting an "S. Seem Roadshow" on Thursday, June 29 from 6 until 8 p.m. The public is invited to bring two antique items to be appraised, at no charge, by three veteran antique dealers. The appraisers will be Ken Vliet, Evelyn Stravino and Carol Bear. Also that evening, there will be a lecture and handout on how to research current market values for your antiques using the Internet. Laurie Ohlandt will be demonstrating using eBay and several auction sites to get up-to-the-
minute pricing for your antiques. Light refreshments and wine will be served, and Faith Gabrielle will be singing and playing the guitar. S. Seem is a two-story antique co-op housed in an 1840 brick building at 100 S. Chestnut St., Historic Bath. Opened five years ago, it was the impetus for five other shops that now exist on the block. Housing over 25 quality antiques dealers, the co-op features wide plank floors, open beams and three working fireplaces. Open seven days a week, the shop values education about antiques and seeks to promote that mission.

Northampton Planning Commission Approves plans for New apartments in Old schoolhouse By KERI LINDENMUTH At its meeting on Wednesday, June 14, the Northampton Planning Commission was presented the preliminary/final plans for 12 new apartments in the old Northampton schoolhouse at 1503 Main Street. Arthur Swallow, of Arthur A. Swallow Associates Land Surveying & Development in Allentown, developed the plans for property owner Tom Kishbaugh. Swallow sat before the planning commission and answered their questions about plans for the 12unit, two-bedroom apartment building and 22-space parking lot. Borough Engineer David Lear only had minor comments in his letter to Swallow, recommending shrubbery along the back alley of the property to block headlights from nearby homes. Planning Commissioner Robert McHale also suggested adding privacy measures to the parking lot to keep headlights out of the homes of neighbors. “If I was adjacent [to the parking lot],” he said, “I would be concerned.” He recommended adding some sort of barrier to a concrete wall that runs along the north side of the parking lot, such as small shrubbery or fencing. Neighbors and business owners were also in attendance and voiced their questions and concerns. Frank Keller, of Keller Enter-
prises on Main Street, said he worried about parking for his customers if tenants in the building park on the street instead of the lot (the lot only has 22 spaces, having received relief on the required 24). “We are concerned about where our customers are going to park,” he said. “It is going to hurt our business.” He explained that, while he thinks it is nice that something is being done to the vacant building, he would like something that limits the parking time on the street to prevent tenants from taking spots away from his customers. The planning commission agreed with his concerns and said that the borough council can implement parking regulations, like a one-hour time limit. Several other neighbors were concerned about traffic and the potential for accidents. As the plan stands now, residents will enter the parking lot on 15th Street and exit the parking lot on Main Street. Residents feared that cars leaving the parking lot would get into accidents when attempting to turn on to Main Street. At first, the planning commission suggested tabling the plan for the evening and looking closer at these traffic concerns. However, Swallow was unhappy with this suggestion. “That is a lot of work to do that,” he said. “That is not good. Continued on page 3

Antique car repair Shop slated for East Allen Township Schoolhouse
FedEx, and that tractor trailer deliveries will be “very seldom,” with them taking place only about one or two times a year. More information can be found on Beck and his services at ktvintagecars.com.
By JUSTIN SWEITZER After hearing over an hour of testimony at their June 14 meeting, supervisors in East Allen Township took steps toward approving an antique automobile repair facility within the township, directing Solicitor Joseph Piperato III to draft conditions for a board vote on June 22. Kenneth Beck, who currently runs K&T Vintage Sports Cars, LLC in Allentown, Pa., presented his plans to repurpose a current industrial facility at 6584 Ruch Rd, Bethlehem, PA 18107 during the meeting’s conditional use hearing. The proposed Ruch Road facility will expand Beck’s ability to restore classic cars from 1980 and before, particularly those British in make. Beck says he specializes in British cars, pointing to Jaguars and Bentleys as makes that he often works on. According to Beck, the refurbishing process can take up to multiple years, with a typical repair taking about a year to a year and a half. That extended amount of time is what prompted him to seek more space. “Size is an issue,” Beck said. He said he is currently only able to take a small portion of requests at his Allentown business, due to the limited space that his current facility offers. Two areas of interest during the testimony were the proposed additions of spray booths and dust collection system prep stations. “A spray booth is essentially a self-contained room inside that has explosion-proof lighting and the cars are painted in there,” Beck said. “There are airlines inside and they have a filtration system that filters the air that comes into the booth so that no dust is brought in, and there’s also a system on the exhaust side that filters and removes all the particles
and fumes and everything from the inside of the spray booth when it exits back into the building itself.” The dust collection system, which Beck referred to as a prep station, collects and contains dust to prevent getting particulates on other cars. Like the spray booth, the prep station will also be closed off from the rest of the building. Beck said both stations will comply with industry standards in regards to design and health. He also noted that the business will not be a retail facility, and will not feature regular sales of cars or parts. Occasional sales are possible, but Beck stressed that he is in the business of restoring cars for his clients, and not regularly selling products to the public. According to testimony from Beck and his attorney, Lawrence Fox, chemicals will be properly stored in an existing chemical storage room inside the building, and no chemicals, cars or other materials will be stored outside the building. The building will not feature a fire suppression system, as Beck said in the event of a fire sprinklers can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to the automobiles inside. He said that sprinkler malfunctions are more likely than the possibility of a fire, prompting many restoration businesses to not have any sprinkler systems. Beck was unsure if he will have a fire suppression system inside the spray booth. After an inquiry from Township Deputy Fire Marshal John McDevitt, Beck did say that his business will have a fire detection system. In what will likely be music to the ears of East Allen Township residents, Beck said the majority of deliveries to his business are made by services like UPS and

We came a long way with this plan.” Changing the direction of traffic would be a “major change to the plan that has to be hashed out,” he said. The commission turned to Lear to hear his take on the traffic flow. Lear explained that the current traffic flow in and out of the parking lot was chosen because it would lead to fewer accidents. Entering the parking lot on 15th Street would eliminate the need for cars on Main Street to turn left to enter, which would have backed up traffic. After hearing the engineer explain the traffic flow, Planning Commissioner Cynthia Carman
motioned to approve the preliminary/final plan. “I think if we had wanted to make a change to the layout, we should have done that in sketch plan review,” she explained. Following Swallow’s presentation, Bob Dwyer of the Willow Brook Farm Trust presented revised preliminary plans for Willow Brook Farms on Howertown Road. When he had previously presented plans before the commission several months ago, the plans called for 67 single-family homes in Northampton Borough. This has since been changed to 11. Because the large property is stretched across four different municipalities, uncertainty in one can affect the entire plan. “Allen Township,” Dwyer explained, “is still in a state of flux,” which has impacted the plan. Decreasing the number of properties to 11 will allow work to begin earlier. While so much development in the area is taking away farmland, Dwyer explained that development surrounding Willow Brook Farms is seeking to protect the
June 22-28, 2017 3
farmland from encroaching industrialization. Homes surrounding the property will act as a transition zone, separating the Fed Ex warehouse and its effects from the centuries-old farm. “Hopefully, if things go the way I anticipate, it will be a little village,” he explained. Farm buildings will be repurposed as antique shops, ice cream parlors, and bakeries, and a walking and bike path through Willow Brook will be open to the public so everyone can enjoy the piece of peaceful farmland away from the warehouses and their traffic. “Losing the property will be difficult to swallow,” he said. Finally, the meeting was closed with a presentation by borough resident David E. Dlugose. “We have an awesome history that needs to be displayed,” he said. He presented his conceptual plans for community development in the borough and suggested the formation of a Community Development Board.

paid particularly close attention to sidewalk requirements. Gasper sought a waiver for sidewalks on Pearl Street, which is a private drive. He also sought a deferment on sidewalks along Wolf Street until the time building permits for each parcel of land are pulled. The planning commission worked both the waiver and deferment into its recommendation to council. The commission recommended that council grant approval to Gasper’s preliminary/final plan, subject to Gasper following the comments in the engineer’s and solicitor’s letters, and subject to any comments the borough’s fire chief may have about an emergency route on the property.

Moore EAC reviews Electronic recycling Totals By JUSTIN SWEITZER Members of Moore Township’s Environmental Advisory Council reflected on successful efforts to recycle electronics at their June 13 monthly meeting, looking over totals from events within Moore Township, as well as recent totals from multi-municipal events at Nazareth Middle School. This year, with Moore Township participating at the electronic recycling event in Nazareth for the second time, the event saw 513 cars come through with 52 of them coming from Moore Township. The event brought in 55,578 pounds worth of recyclables. The turnout in 2017 saw a slight decrease from the year prior, as 645 cars dropped off materials in 2016, and 62 cars came from Moore Township. Moore Township previously held their own electronic recycling events from 2011 to 2015. The township’s inaugural event brought 160 cars to the municipal building for a yield of 15,726 pounds of recyclables. In 2012 the totals jumped to over 600 cars for 58,718 pounds of recycled electronics. From 2013 to 2015 the event was held at Moore Township Elementary school. In 2013 and 2014 the township collected over 48,000 pounds of electronic recyclables each year, and 2015 saw the township take in over 60,000
pounds, including 36,760 television sets. EAC Member Peter Locke suggested that the council should try and get Northampton County more involved in such events, and suggested holding multiple electronic recycling events per year because the wait time for the events is so long. Members also had an extended discussion about various items relating to the township’s Appalachian Trail Park. The EAC looked over the establishment of new rules for the park, including allowing trapping and hunting, allowing primitive camping by permit, and banning dumping. The council also discussed potential hours of operation, and how primitive they would like trails to be going forward. In addition, following the theft of the Appalachian Park Trail’s sign, the EAC discussed plans to purchase a replacement. The company that originally produced the sign is no longer in business, so members had to weigh options about the best way to move forward. Tashner suggested the EAC look to purchase a cheap replacement in the short term, and apply for grant money to replace the temporary sign with a more fitting replacement. The next Moore Township EAC meeting will be on Tuesday, July 11 at 7 p.m.

GAB OVER by Pete THE FENCE G. Ossip Heat, wind, and now a thunder storm. That’s bout par for the course as summer arrived this Wednesday. So enjoy the weather on your days off. It’s vacation time! . . . How was your Father’s Day? I didn’t get a tie but chocolate covered strawberries, bananas and apples , so I’m taking it light, a couple pieces a day. Along with that, a new pull-over shirt, and dinner at the T & C . . . .Remember I told you a while back about a young man named Lukas who got hit in the head with a baseball? Since then I found out that the ball hit him in the face just off the edge of his helmet. He was knocked out, and for a day or so lost his memory. It was a bad concussion, but I hear he’s coming around, so maybe your prayers helped. . . .The UCC church group celebrated two 99-year-old birthdays at breakfast the other morning – Betty Gerhring’s and a lady she grew up with named Mary Broad Mertz. It was wonderful seeing them together and enjoying each other’s company after all these years. Everybody sang “Happy Birthday” and enjoyed a cake provided by Margie Rehrig. Wow! . . . . That was a wonderful article in last week’s paper about Horner’s Cemetery in East Allen Township. We have a terrific history and many famous people from the Colonial days that we didn’t know about, but Peggy Moser has done a lot of research to dig it all out, so to speak. Tours are held from now until October on Saturday mornings. I’m sure she has a lot more to tell us. Thank goodness we have people around here who want to preserve history and appreciate it. . . . Catholic church picnic is
coming up soon in July, my time to shine, sitting in the big tent and listening to ethnic music while downing a couple dozen steamed clams and guzzling a few beers. . . .Bath Firefighters were kept really busy with calls of all kinds on Monday, and the thunderstorm knocked down wires. . . .Kathy Hayes Reph got some wonderful news about her health this week, I hear. . . .And it was good to see Clark Smith up and around . . . .I hear Joe Ambrose won a hearts game last week, but Tom Zeitner is still waiting for him to ante up in the cussing jar when a word or two slips out. . . . That’s all for now, but a word of advice to you golfers: Don’t stand under a tree when a thunderstorm hits. You could get a “fore!”

Victorian Clothing Part Two It was heartwarming to see all the visitors to the museum this past Saturday. It looks like people are starting to take notice of the museum treasure we have here in Bath. Since one of the most fragile antiquities is fabric, I just wanted to highlight a few more fine examples in the Bath Museum. The first is a silk blouse donated by Grace Bonser. It belonged to sisters Jennie George Hugo (1889-1980) and Kate George Smith (1881-1979). The blouse features tiny pleats and lots of inset lace. The second photo shows the ribbon and lace detailing on the wedding dress Flossie Super wore when she married Horace Heller, Jr. on July 29, 1925. The third photo shows the bead leaf design between the satin and lace on Pauline (Polly) Fogel's wedding gown at her marriage to Earl Acker on November 19, 1944.

Anyone for cards?
Before television came on the scene, families used to gather around the kitchen table af-
ter supper and compete with each other at a game of cards or checkers. Some of the card games turned into heated arguments and tempers rose when someone would be accused of cheating. Pinochle was a very popular card game in the 40s and 50s. In some offices, lunch hours were spent playing cards. I learned to play Pinochle with my coworkers while working at a local cement company. At noon, we would rush into the third floor where there was a card table set up and
we’d eat our sandwich while playing the card game. In the early stages of my education of the game, I kept notes of the worth of the meld. I carried that little piece of paper around with me for months, telling friends that “you never know when someone will stop you on the street and ask you to play a game of Pinochle, and I’ll be ready!” Eventually I became confident enough to go to a public card party. These events were held at the Grange building in Moorestown.
On the main floor, they played Pinochle and on the second floor they played Haus and Pfeffer. My parents loved to play Haus so they ascended to the second floor while hubby and I settled in with the Pinochle crowd on the first floor. I was very nervous because the others were seasoned card players and knew the card game like they knew their own name. I was a novice at this game, having only played with a few coworkers. These old-timers could tell what you had in your hand just by a

few cards that were played out. At the end of the evening, each person’s score was tallied up and the highest scorer had first choice at the prizes. Prizes consisted of a bushel of apples or potatoes, four cans of corn, a large pumpkin, a large can of orange juice or other canned goods. Once my mother had the high score in Haus and for her prize, she chose the bushel of potatoes. We teased her about her choice but she calculated it would provide the most meals and after all, she used a lot of potatoes. Will we ever get back to skill games rather than sitting in front of the boob tube and eating chips?

NORTHAMPTON AREA Northampton EMS receives American Heart Association Award By JUSTIN SWEITZER Members of Northampton Borough Council lauded the borough’s emergency personnel at their June 15 meeting, praising them for their actions in the community as well as their recent recognition. Councilwoman Judy Kutzler announced during the Fire and Health Committee report that Northampton Regional Emergency Medical Services were “once again” recipients of the American Heart Association’s Mission Lifetime EMS Award for the work they did in 2016. “We’re honored to have this ambulance corps based in our borough where every borough resident is within minutes—their response time is within minutes, it’s incredible,” Kutzler said. “They are so well trained.” Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski Sr. praised the emergency personnel as well, giving a personal account of his experiences with the ambulance corps. “I have a distinct honor in the ambulance corps, not only serving for 15 years… I was the very first patient that the new ambulance had, Fred A. Snyder Post 353 had,” Lopsonzski said. “I was the first patient in that vehicle that took me to the hospital and saved my life. Several times over the last few years the ambulance has again saved my life when I
had my heart attack and subsequent seizure-type situation. If they can keep me alive, they can keep you alive, too.” “We got a hell of a group of people here: the fire department, the police department, the road crew, the ambulance services, the fire police. Any organization that serves this borough, they serve it with honor, dignity and pride,” Lopsonzski continued. Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst echoed the sentiments of Kutzler and Lopsonzski, saying, “Congratulations to the ambulance corps. They do a really good job.” According to Kutzler, the Northampton Regional EMS’s 2016 Activity Report has been received and is on file for viewing if any resident would like to review In other business, council also made a motion to allow the Borough of Catasauqua to use Northampton Borough’s portable band trailer on Saturday, Sept. 16 at no expense, for the dedication of Catasauqua’s new municipal complex.

Mako Bill to Implement Financial Best Practices for Municipal Authorities
Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK The House Local Government Committee today reported out Rep. Zach Mako’s (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) legislation to require municipal authorities to

create additional financial protections when collecting money. “When handling money, financial best practices should be employed to protect all parties,” Mako said. “Without proper checks and balances, it can become too easy for mismanagement too occur. This legislation helps make sure no money is misappropriated.” House Bill 1034 would make municipal authorities remove any individual names from municipal accounts, create a standardized procedure for the handling of an authority’s funds, and require annual audits and fiscal reports to be presented to the authority board. The bill now goes to the full House for consideration. The 183rd District includes

Morningstar Living and Friends Life Care Join resources to launch Continuing Care at Home program in Lehigh Valley Submitted by LIZ BRANDL Morningstar Living of Nazareth is pleased to announce a partnership with Friends Life Care of Plymouth Meeting, PA to provide comprehensive health and wellness solutions for people living at home. Together, the two organizations work to enrich the quality of life for people in Lehigh Valley. The program will launch in July. “We are continually looking for new ways to expand our mission to enrich life’s journey for all we serve,” said Susan Cooper Drabic, President and CEO of Morningstar Living. “Continuing Care at Home is a service that we have been researching for some time and this partnership with Friends Life Care enables us to provide this quality service to older adults who prefer to remain in their home.” “We are delighted to join resources with Morningstar Living and bring our distinctive and exceptional senior services and care to the people of Lehigh Valley,” said Carol A. Barbour, President of Friends Life Care. “Friends Life Care’s philosophy is centered upon vitality, independence, growth and resilience allowing older adults another option to remain at home longer. Partnering with Morningstar provides more
people with more options to age in place.” “Friends Life Care offers the first and largest continuing care at home program in the country,” explained Susan Drabic. “This partnership brings about an innovative solution for people who want more than just long term care insurance. The product “Continuing Care at Home” provides an affordable plan for lifelong care plus a Care Coordinator who develops, manages and monitors the care when it is needed. If home care is ever needed, it is coordinated by Friends Life Care and provided by Morningstar Living’s trusted network of caregivers.” Morningstar Living and Friends Life Care will begin holding informational seminars in July. These seminars will provide more detailed information regarding membership in the continuing care at home program. Morningstar Living of Nazareth began in 1988 when it opened its first Life Plan Community (CCRC) in the Lehigh Valley. Offering the most innovative retirement lifestyle choices in the region, Morningstar Living owns and operates two different campuses, Moravian Hall Square and Heritage Village.

Pick Your Pain – Part 3
(See Parts 1 and 2 at www.naog.ws/pc.htm) Once we have a proper Perspective, we also need Perseverance. Hebrews 12:2 reminds us that Jesus endured the cross. It’s not enough to have the correct perspective for a few months or years; we need to endure, to persevere, to keep on going. Hebrews 10:36 reminds us that we have need of Patience. I heard a story once that really impacted me. A man was getting ready for a skating competition in the Olympics. The day before the competition, he fell as he was practicing and he badly injured his knee. The following day as they were ready for the competition to begin, the judges saw the paperwork for this man and remarked to each other that he wouldn’t be competing because of his accident on the previous day. However, as they looked to see the person who was to compete next, they realized that it was this same man. He performed his whole routine, even going down on that injured knee at one point. When the competition ended, he was declared the winner. Some reporters were talking to him later and they asked him, “Wasn’t that extremely painful to have to go down on that injured knee?” He said that it had been very painful, but then he said, “Now the pain is over, and I’ve got the gold!” One day if we’ve been faithful, the pain of this life will be over, and we will be enjoying the glory of the Lord! Nothing can compare with that! So, Pick your Pain! --Submitted by Melody Lundmark

Ladies of Mountain View Wesleyan donate fifteen more Mats to homeless
submitted by GLORIA KOCH The ladies of Mountain View Wesleyan Church completed 15 more mats for the homeless. This makes a total of 35 mats made since July 2016. These were given to Bethlehem Emergency Shelter, helping the Bethlehem CUCC church who has a supply room for the homeless to ensure they receive
what they need on Thursday and Saturday. They can use as many mats as we can make for them. The makers of the mats meet every Tuesday; Benders Church meets every other Monday, and Nazareth Church meets on Thursday nights. You are welcome to come help us or start your own group. If interested or need more information
call MVWC at 610-759-7553. Leave your number and message for Gloria Koch. It takes over 600 plastic grocery bags to make one mat and at present time we are only in need off colored bags. You can drop them off at Lattemann’s Corner Store and Deli on Community Drive where you can see a mat on display as well.
