Sons of Veterans honor fallen Soldiers across Northampton
Looking by Back Ed Pany Kohl-a-daal series Part 1
By KERI LINDENMUTH Every year, the Sons of Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, Camp Captain Theodore H. Howell #48 honors America’s fallen heroes at a series of ten cemetery services across Northampton. 2021 marks the
110th year of the tradition. In Union Army regalia and accompanied by the Tri-County Community Marching Band, they saluted the dead with a prayer, a 21-gun salute, a playing of Taps, and, appropriately, a reading of the Gettysburg Address.
“It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on,” President Lincoln’s famous speech reads. “That we here highly resolve that these dead Continued on page 8

Annual Nazareth Memorial Day Parade Bath Legion Honors Precedes dedication to fallen Vietnam vets America’s Fallen Heroes By KERI LINDENMUTH
By KERI LINDENMUTH After a brief hiatus, VFW 4366 and American Legion Post 415 held their annual Memorial Day parade to honor the men and women who served and died during America’s wars at home and abroad. Nazareth’s downtown was a sea of red, white, and blue as families came out to celebrate
their hometown heroes. Veterans from Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, and other conflicts marched in the parade alongside local first responders from Vigilance Hose Company, the Hecktown Fire Company, the Bushkill Fire Company, and the Tatamy Fire Company. The Nazareth Area Blue Eagle
Marching Band played patriotic tunes along the route, earning applause from the crowd and the veterans alike. The parade concluded at Council Chambers where members of the Legion and VFW were there to give remarks. Retired Air Force Major General Jerry Still gave the Memorial
Day Address. “For all who gave their yesterdays, we thank you today,” he said. “They were ordinary people who responded in extraordinary ways.” “Nothing can replace the hole left behind by a fellow service member,” he added. “While you Continued on page 7

for Eckley E. Patch, the namesake of the legion and Bath’s first casualty of World War I. “These flowers may wither, but their spirit may endure to the end of time,” said Post Com-
mander Brian Radcliffe. Radcliffe reminded the audience of the true meaning behind Memorial Day, beyond the picnics and baseball games: the over 1.3 million men and women who have died during America’s military conflicts. “They gave up everything they had...to answer their nation’s call to duty,” he said. “Never forget those who died so we can cele-
brate…[or] the tens of thousands of our heroes who still feel they are there [in war].” Fallen troops were honored with a 21-gun salute and a playing of Taps. Then, Radcliffe’s son, Michael, rang a bell in remembrance of the Legion members who have passed away over the past year. Mayor Fiorella Mirabito, Borough Manager Brad Flynn, mem-

bers of Bath Borough Council, and State Representative Ann Flood were also present. “No flag, no flower can fully capture [our] gratitude,” said Rep. Flood. “As a grateful nation, we have an obligation and a duty...to pay solemn honor,” Mayor Mirabito said in her remarks, before quoting President Ronald Reagan: “Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them.” “Some gave their today so we can have our tomorrow,” added Council President Mark Saginario. The service’s guest of honor was Bath resident Staff Sergeant Onix Reyes who recently returned from one year of active duty in Kuwait. He was welcomed home by the audience. “Know your family, community, and post are here for you,” Radcliffe told him. At the event’s closing, Radcliffe had one request for all in attendance before they ventured off to their picnics and parties: “When you pass by many of the cemeteries in this town,” he said, “walk through with your family...you may be surprised by what you can learn from a small piece of granite and a little bronze plaque.”
Looking Back Continued from page 1
“Our family tree goes back to Sept. 28, 1732, with the birth of Heinrich Kohl,” she wrote. “Kohl was born in the Palatinate in Germany in 1732. His dream was to immigrate to colonial America. He came to America at age 18 on the ship Hero, which docked in Philadelphia.” Why did Heinrich and his neighbors come to America? For many years, in what is now Germany, they faced political and religious wars. There was a period in their history known as the Thirty Years War as a result. Large tracts of rich farmland was abandoned,
www.HomeNewsPA.com
crippling the country. The Kohls heard that Penn’s Province, in what became Pennsylvania, was a land that promised opportunity and religious freedom. The first wave of immigrants settled in Saucon Valley in 1718. One of those immigrants, also from the Palatinate, was Johan Oberle. Mr. Larry Oberly, our friendly photographer, is a direct descendant of Johan Oberle. Soon, the Germans moved into Bethlehem, Nazareth and Allen Township. The Kohls first settled in Allentown, but soon they moved to Allen Township. The Kohls, as most Germans, were farmers. They knew and loved good ground, good soil. They were here to stay, building sturdy homes and barns. Their lives would revolve around the family and farm. Their chief contribution was the promotion of agriculture, in which they exceeded all other racial groups. The Germans were religious, conservative and frugal. They helped lay the foundation of farming in our state. The Kohls eventually purchased a farm in Allen Township. Heinrich’s 146-acre farm was along Indian Creek. The farm was large for this period of history; therefore, most families were large. They all worked on the farm as horsepower and manual labor were needed for a productive farm. A portion of the land was called “the Indian tract,” which contained 6,500 acres that was set aside by William Penn for an Indian reservation. The plan never materialized. “Allen Township Memories” also states Kohl used a water wheel for power, which he utilized to operate a powder mill. I wonder if any of this powder was used by the local militia during the French and Indian War and later the Revolutionary War. Mr. Kohl married Christina Althaus. She was born in 1748. Heinrich and Christina had seven children. The close-knit family worked together in their fields and barns. The farm is located on Indian Trail Road one mile east of Kreidersville. Today, Alicia Howard resides on the former farm. In two weeks: We remember the clouds of war.

For the health-minded individual
Immune Alliance
My advanced clinical nutrition approach has clearly evolved since I first started and I suspect the growth will not cease. Each time I help someone I also learn a little bit more as well. Sometimes the knowledge is garnered through success and other times when we hit dead ends. Through it all, I still find myself in awe of the human body, mind, and spirit contained transiently within. It’s amazing. One revelation that changed much of how I address a person's illness and journey to health is that I now understand that the body doesn’t really have an immune system….the body is an immune system. By and large, it has become our mindset to address the presenting symptom. At the outset, this appears rational, yet in long standing chronic, “web-of-confusion” type illness, chasing symptoms is a fool’s game. Does that make sense, even a little? A better solution would be to play Sherlock Holmes and investigate the root cause or many interrelated causes of the matter. Addressing the cause will save a person a lifetime of taking synthetic drugs and all that entails. This is easier said than done in so many cases. Clearly we have these individual body systems that are easily identified; skeletal system, respiratory system, reproductive system, etc. that are seemingly standalone and independent of one another. I guess we could debate that in one way they are, yet clearly each is dependent on the other for optimum expression. Extensively intertwined within all “systems” is their version of immune response. Digestive system has its intestinal flora. The bones have the marrow. Each gland is like the thymus for lymphocytes or the spleen for lymphatics. Each has their relative immune system essentially stationed in that regional area per se yet the alliance that takes place throughout the whole body fortifies and buttresses us through thick and thin. This type of understanding

lends itself to truly looking at the whole person in front of you, not just the gout in their toe or chronic low-grade cellulitis. To offer up a solution for the poorly understood chronic ailments, it makes more sense to assist in strengthening this already well known immune alliance. Now exactly how to do this requires a more in-depth discussion, yet the gist of it all is that by working “up stream” you absolutely can nourish a whole lot more and subsequently upregulate the person body-wide. The end results can truly be spectacular. Perhaps we should consider switching our mentality from taking a daily multivitamin to ingesting a daily multi-immune supplement. Now that makes sense to me. Targeted supplementation is key, not synthetic vitamins. From my perspective, the majority of supplementation
needs to be a whole food source either on your plate or in a capsule. Herbs themselves are incredible as well. I prefer Medi-Herb products above all else. No question about it. My best to you.

Flood announces more than half-million Dollars in local grants funded through Gaming revenue
Submitted by DAN MASSING State Rep. Ann Flood (RNorthampton) announced local families, workers and residents will benefit from approximately $612,000 in local share account grants that are funded through gaming revenue generated by Wind Creek Bethlehem in Northampton County and Mount Airy Casino Resort in Monroe County. Local share account grants support economic development, community improvement and public interest projects through gaming funds under Act 71 of 2004. “These grants will provide a variety of benefits for people in our local communities,” Flood said. “Small municipal governments such as townships and boroughs can use money from these grants to purchase dump trucks to plow
snow and police cruisers to patrol the streets. These grants fund the essential government services we too often overlook, but desperately need. Few people think about a boiler in a township building until they’re at a town meeting in January without heat. These dollars help local governments serve Pennsylvanians.” Grants have been approved for the following projects in the amounts listed: Lower Nazareth Township ($42,000) – to purchase 27 portable radios and other accessories for the Colonial Regional Police Department, which serves Lower Nazareth and Hanover townships in Northampton County. Bath Borough ($29,000) – to upgrade the boiler system by

The transition from the current oil-fired boiler to the new gas-fired burner is anticipated to provide a savings of 67 percent in annual fuel costs. Bushkill Township ($168,000) – to pay for part of the purchase of a new dump truck complete with snowplow and salt spreader. Moore Township Police Department ($100,000) – to obtain 20 portable wheel load weight scales, which they will share with the police departments in Bushkill Township and Chapman Borough to combat the deterioration of local roads and bridges by identifying overweight vehicles driving on them. East Allen Township ($60,000) – to replace an old, high-maintenance vehicle by purchasing a new municipal pickup truck to be used for park maintenance. Pen Argyl Borough ($105,000) – to enhance festivals, community events and public gatherings by renovating the two concession stands – a sausage stand and hamburger stand – in Weona Park, which will benefit from upgrades to the electrical, plumbing and light systems; Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements to better serve all visitors; installation of new refrigeration and freezer units as well as new grill hoods and exhausts; and a new metal roof will be installed on the sausage stand.

are having your picnic...just take a few moments to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.” Following the Legion’s and VFW’s service, Mayor Lance Colondo and Borough Council members had their own presentation, honoring three fallen Vietnam veterans who called Nazareth home. A plaque was unveiled outside Council Chambers memorializing Private First Class Craig Gordon Klotz, Corporal William Edward Huff, and Private First Class Ray Glenwood Hawk. All members of Nazareth’s Class of 1967, they were killed while on active duty in Vietnam. Huff was killed at 19 years old in 1968 after his helicopter was attacked. Klotz was also killed in 1968 after his transport was hit by an incendiary. Hawk was killed in 1969 after earning two Purple Hearts for his bravery while wounded in action. He would earn his third Purple Heart posthumously. This dedication, said Mayor Colondo, is long overdue. “Soldiers returning home [from Vietnam] were not treated with the respect they deserved.” Colondo credited several Nazareth residents, including 1967
graduate Harry Beers, with their determination in erecting this memorial for their classmates. Family members of the fallen soldiers were present, including Huff’s half-brother Steve Southam. Southam read a letter written by Huff days before he was killed. “I did not die in vain, but for you,” Huff wrote to his parents. “To be free...and to go to work and school and watch movies and television...I feel good inside.” Council President Daniel R. Chiavaroli, also a Vietnam veteran, shared his own story. He served a year on an airbase before returning home, where he was dissuaded from talking about his experience. This memorial, he said, “reminds me of those who returned home...with injuries you cannot see...it reminds me I am one of the lucky ones.”

shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” It is that solemn oath that keeps the Sons of Veterans and other organizations like them paying respect each and every Memorial Day. One of the cemeteries where the Sons of Veterans carried out that “unfinished work” was Allen Union Cemetery in Northampton Borough. The service was accompanied by patriotic performances from the Tri Community Marching
Band who played the National Anthem, Nearer my God to Thee, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and America the Beautiful. The service was moving for cemetery treasurer Janice Pitkin, whose father served in World War II. “Of these flags we see flying boldly, we have to say thank you in memoriam for the freedoms we have today,” she said. The Sons of Veterans will return to Allen Union again next Memorial Day to once again honor America’s heroes, like Pitkin’s father and the millions of other men and women who served. Just as President Lincoln implored in his speech, their memory and the causes for which they fought have not perished.

French & Indian War Veterans found at Horner's Cemetery
Submitted by PEGGY MOSER After a memorial service at Horner's Cemetery, this author thought about the two additional French & Indian War veterans we recently found there. One person who attended the above service was George Herschman of Bath. He was a reenactor of Rogers' Rangers, a group who fought during the French & Indian War. His visit prompted even more questions. What caused the war? How long was the war? What were the major events of that war? What persons were involved? How did it end? What were the effects after the war? Rogers' Rangers (1755) were a company of soldiers from New Hampshire under the British Army. Rogers watched how the American Indians fought, and created his Rules of Ranging. It was a list used for training for special operations against distant targets, maneuver warfare, guerrilla, and skirmishing. Their job was reconnaissance, gather intelligence, and serve as an infantry force. In search of answers to other questions, I found an article that read "George Washington's forays into the Ohio country shaped his career and sparked a global war.”
Act, Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, and we all know what happened next.
