Northampton Borough Council approves
‘No Parking’ ordinance, New handicapped parking
By KERI LINDENMUTH
During their June 20 meeting, the Northampton Borough Council voted in favor of several parking changes throughout the borough.
First, council unanimously voted to approve “No Parking” signs on Lincoln Avenue. Parking to the corner will be restricted on both sides of the street at the intersection of Station Alley to help improve safety and sight lines.
Council also approved the installation of a stop sign for southbound traffic on Poplar Street at the intersection with
Stark Street.
Finally, council also restricted truck traffic on Howertown Road between East Fourth and East 10th streets, as well as on East Fourth Street between Main Street and Howertown Road. Only local deliveries will be allowed.
Police and code enforcement will be able to cite violators.
“I will make a motion [to approve] with a hallelujah,” said Councilman Ronald Glassic.
“It’s about time that we hold people accountable for safety

Borough of Bath holds Community Meeting To discuss Upcoming MS4 projects And funding
By SAVANNAH BROWN
The Borough of Bath held a public sub-committee “information session” on Monday, June 24 to discuss upcoming Municipal Separate Stormwater Sewer System projects, possible avenues of funding and provide residents with the opportunity to ask questions.
To explain what MS4 is, Borough Council President Frank Hesch stated that per the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, stormwater runoff is generated from rain and snowmelt events that flow over land or impervious surfaces such as paved streets, parking lots and rooftops, thus preventing the water from soaking into the ground.
The runoff picks up pollutants such as trash, chemicals, oils and dirt or sediment, which can harm streams, rivers and lakes, so to protect these resources, stormwater best management practices are used to capture and treat pollutants in the runoff using structures that collect the runoff and infiltrate it into the ground or treat and release it.

Correction
In the “Penn Rose Quilt Guild presents veterans with patriotic quilts” article in last week’s issue, The Home News incorrectly printed that Barry Frey served as an ADAN (E-3). The correct information is that Barry Frey was an ADRAN E-3 (aviation mechanic). During Barry’s career with the Navy, he received the Distinguished Navy Achievement Medal of Honor for his outstanding military service. The Home News also incorrectly printed that Albert Frey served in the Army from 1967 to 1968. The correct information is that Albert served from 1965 to 1967. From 1966 to 1967, Albert was deployed in Vietnam, and was then honorably discharged upon being injured in Vietnam.

Northampton Area High School student
Awarded distinguished piano medal
Submitted by
JENNIE FLICKER
Ada Barnhorst, a rising sophomore at Northampton Area High School, from Bath, was awarded the 2024 Advanced Bach Medal from The National Guild of Piano Teachers, a Division of American College of Musicians. Ms. Barnhorst received this award by performing 15 pieces composed by Johann Sebastian Bach on the piano, completely memorized. Twelve of the 15 pieces were chosen from a required repertoire list. The highest rating of Superior Plus was awarded by the judge. This is the third year she has participated in Guild audi-
tions with the honor of being a 2022 national winner and a 2023 international winner. She has been studying piano for nine years and is currently a student of Jennie Flicker. She has also received the highest ratings at the Dorothy Sutton Performance Festival and the Achievement Award Auditions hosted by the Lehigh Valley Music Teachers Association. Not only is Ms. Barnhorst an accomplished pianist, she is an honors student, plays the viola in the Northampton Area High School orchestra, is a member of the Scholastic Scrimmage team and plays the organ for Sacred Heart Church in Bath.
Development of urban and suburban areas are major contributors to pollutants and runoff, as well as negative impacts to waterways caused by increased volumes and rates of runoff from impervious surfaces, which also cause problematic changes in hydrology and water quality.
As part of the state’s next phase in reducing stormwater and waterway pollution, Bath has been mandated to develop a stormwater pollution prevention plan and fully implement best management practices and projects that reduce at least 10% of its stormwater pollution by Dec.
31, 2027, despite a lack of grant and funding opportunities to help cover the costs.
The borough’s current pollution production plan projects consist of two dry extended detention basins on Holiday Hill, street sweeping and a rain garden on the George Wolf Elementary School property, which will all be financed and advertised for bid together.
If the borough is unable to complete the projects by the deadline and prove they have reduced stormwater pollutants by 10%, they risk facing significant fines in the six-figure range.
Once the projects have been completed, the borough also an-

ticipates the Department of Environmental Protection Board mandating additional MS4 requirements in the future.
In his presentation, Attorney E. Lee Stinnett from Salzmann Hughes P.C. detailed that the costs associated with these projects are estimated to be upwards of $800,000, which is why the borough is aiming to implement a stormwater utility fee that will generate approximately $200,000 in revenue annually to cover the project costs.
The growing use of stormwater fees by municipalities across the nation are used to dedicate a predictable source of funds to stormwater management that provides a steady stream of revenue for long-term planning, apportion costs fairly based on impervious coverage property characteristics, share the financial burden with all who will benefit from stormwater management services, provide credit considerations for residents who aid in water quality or other stormwater efforts on their property and also to provide an incentive for property owners to collaborate through partnerships and community projects that are also credited.
The credit program would utilize a formula to calculate credits based on the amount of each
Seemsville man becomes State president of TPA
project’s pollution reduction or impervious coverage removal, which could be donated to other businesses or entities such as churches, nonprofits and schools to lower their stormwater fees.
Neighboring municipalities with higher populations such as Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton have already implemented a stormwater fee, but their impervious coverage formulas differ greatly from smaller municipalities like Bethlehem Township, Fountain Hill Borough and Palmer Township that use a tiered system.
Therefore, the borough considered three potential water authority fee options: charging a uniform rate of $236 per parcel for approximately 850 tax parcels to generate approximately $200,000 annually in revenue; a target formula of $25/quarter/base unit that would generate approximately $179,000 annually; and a tiered system based on total square feet of impervious coverage.
The borough believes the best option is to implement a tiered system that would charge $0 for
properties with less than 300 square feet of impervious coverage, $20 per quarter or $80 per year for properties between 300 and 2,000 square feet, $25 per quarter or $100 per year for properties between 2,001 and 4,000 square feet and properties with 4,001 square feet or greater would be charged $30 for every 2,000 square feet quarterly or $120 per 2,000 square feet annually. This method would generate approximately $182,500 in revenue annually.
In a GIS database analysis, Bath has around 750 single family residential parcels and 4.8 million square feet of impervious area. Out of a 20% sample (150 parcels), the mean impervious area was 3,618 square feet per residential dwelling, whereas the mean of 20% (109 parcels) of the borough’s non-single family and nonresidential parcels was 19,231 square feet per parcel.
Moreover, since each property’s area of impervious coverage will determine its stormwater utility fee, tax-exempt entities that often have significantly larger areas of impervious coverage such as schools, churches and other nonprofits will not be exempt from the stormwater fee.
To compare, if the borough were to raise taxes to generate the funds, it would cost residents much more and would be based on home size rather than impervious coverage, which would not be uniform, fair or equitable to residents who would need to pick up the slack for tax-exempt entities and properties with larger amounts of impervious coverage.
To accurately determine each property’s amount of impervious coverage, Borough Engineer Ronald Madison explained that aerial photography will be used. Stinnett added that residents will be able to file appeals retroactively if they believe their property’s impervious coverage was not properly assessed.
Residents will be able to ask additional MS4 questions at future council meetings or they can schedule a one-on-one meeting with the borough manager.

in our town.”
In other news, council also approved a handicapped parking spot in the area of West Fourth Street. Residents Ronald and Charlotte Leindecker appeared before council to explain their request. Both suffer from arthritis
pain that makes walking and climbing steps difficult. They receive frequent injections to help relieve the pain. Charlotte Leindecker is also recovering from back surgery.
The request was recommended for rejection by Police Chief Bryan Kadingo, solely based on the rules of the handicapped parking ordinance. A garage within 100 feet of the Leindecker home disqualifies them. However, the police chief said he sympathizes with the residents and admitted the
property had a lot of steps that even he would not want to climb in the winter.
“I just provide council with what I see and what the [parking] ordinance tells me,” Chief Kadingo said. Council ultimately has the power to overrule the chief’s recommendation, which Councilman Trevor Stone motioned to do.
“It is not often that we go against Chief Kadingo’s recommendations,” he said. “But I think that you coming here and pleading your case went a long way,” he told the Leindeckers.
“It is very hard to go against [the chief’s] directions,” added Glassic. “[But] you came in with a very valid point.”
Only Councilwoman Judith Haldeman voted in favor of the chief’s recommendation. However, she voiced her pleasure when the spot was approved.
“I have made a position of my own that I will follow the law," she said. “[But] you obviously have a justifiable reason. I’m glad it passed.”
“We are glad that we can help you,” added Glassic. “We want to do the right thing for residents if we can. But we have to live by the law sometimes which is what makes it very difficult.”
In other news, Councilwoman Julia Kutzler voiced praise for the borough’s pool staff.
“They are really doing a great job,” she said of the summer employees. “What I see when I’m sitting in my chair is children and adults making memories…It is beautiful to see.”
Finally, several summer events were announced. First, spaces are still available for the fire department’s summer camp from July 8-12. The cost is $25 for children ages 12 to 15.
Northampton Community Days will also return on July 17. The celebration will end with fireworks on July 20.
Northampton Borough Council’s next meeting will be Wednesday, July 3 at 7 p.m. due to the July 4 holiday.
Nazareth to continue Annual tradition of kazoo Parade
By HOME NEWS STAFF
Nazareth’s annual kazoo parade will march on in the borough on Thursday, July 4 beginning at 10 a.m.
The kazoo parade is typically spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce, however this year they announced the unfortunate cancellation of the parade.
On June 12, the Nazareth Area Chamber of Commerce posted the following on social media: “It is with regret that we announce the cancellation of the Kazoo Parade scheduled to be held on Independence Day weekend in the Borough of Nazareth this year. The Nazareth Area Chamber of
Commerce acknowledges the significance of this beloved tradition in the community and the Kazoo Parade will officially be passed to the Borough of Nazareth in 2025, with the intention of reinstating it next year.”
By the following day, it was announced that the kazoo parade would march on, this time coordinated by Nazareth resident and Northampton County DCED Director Tina Smith.
The parade route will continue as usual, beginning at the Nazareth High School parking lot on Center Street at 10 a.m., proceeding down Center Street, around the Circle and down to
Council Chambers where it will disburse. There will be no musical/patriotic program at Council Chambers this year, however the goal is to bring the musical portion back for next year’s parade.
This is a rain or shine event, and heavy rain could result in its cancellation; there is no rain date.
The first 100 people at the kazoo parade will receive a patriotic, reusable bag. Free kazoos and mini flags will be provided to all marchers in the parade and all are welcome to join in the fun.

Introduction to Field Botany Saturday, July 20 from 10 to 11 a.m.
Many plants may look similar at first glimpse, and it can be overwhelming trying to sort them all out. Join us and learn basic skills in plant identification using keys and field guides. We will focus on common plants and plant families found at Jacobsburg. Please bring water, a snack, wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Registration is required. Share Your Yard with Nature Saturday, July 20 from 2 to 3 p.m.
Lawns are hard work. They need the proper amount of fertilizer and water and let's not forget all the mowing. On top of that, they don't provide much useful habitat to pollinators and other wildlife. Join us to learn about the advantages of letting go of that grass by converting some lawn to meadow or woodland. Please bring water, a snack, wear sturdy shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. Registration is required.
