Moore Elementary students Graduate from DARE program Allen Township gives Update on bridge Work, moves ahead With municipal Complex renovations

By HOME NEWS STAFF

On April 26, DARE graduation was held at Moore Elementary School. There were approximately 60 students who graduated from the DARE program.

DARE is a well-known and respected program that teaches grade school students effective ways to resist peer pressure and refusal skills. This will help students to say “no” to drugs and alcohol. It is important to Det. Jason Gianatiempo, with the

Moore Township Police Department, to help students become strong leaders and responsible people.

The DARE students were required to complete an essay of things they learned throughout the program. There was one essay winner from each of the three classes and an overall winner.

Det. Gianatiempo would like to thank all the fifth grade students and their parents for allowing them to participate in

the program, as well as the staff, teachers and Principal Curtis Dimmick at Moore Elementary School.

Det. Gianatiempo and the Moore Township Police Department would like to thank Weddes Auto Center for donating the DARE t-shirts that each student received, Pizzaville for donating pizza for the students to enjoy at their graduation party, and to all the local businesses that donated to the program.

Nazareth Borough Council Honors public works employee And library volunteer

By SAVANNAH BROWN

During the Nazareth Borough Council meeting on Monday, June 3, council approved resolutions honoring two individuals that provided over 40 years of service each to the borough.

During their May 28 meeting, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors updated residents on the status of ongoing bridge work that has resulted in numerous detours throughout the township. If all goes according to plan, residents may see shorter commutes before the end of the year.

The Indian Trail Road Bridge is closest to completion, with paving scheduled for June 3. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said signage and striping will follow, with a tentative reopening of mid-June. The state road has been closed since June 2023 for PennDOT improvements.

The Howertown Road Bridge will also see paving soon. Eckhart said a project manager has confirmed that paving will begin in early June. The detour will remain in place during this process, with a projected completion date of mid-October 2024.

Finally, the Northampton County Bridge on Willowbrook Road will see a full closure starting on June 5, with expected completion in mid-October as well.

complex. The township was not awarded the LSA Grant from Lehigh and Northampton counties for this project, something Hassler said was “disappointing.”

Funds from these grants could have helped pay for the renovations, which will improve the size and safety of the municipal building for staff and residents alike. Letters were sent to local lawmakers with the grant application.

Hassler asked Eckhart to invite lawmakers to tour the current building before the next grant application in the hope that doing so would allow them to see, in person, why the project is so important.

Although the grant was not awarded, the township is moving ahead with the project and officially awarded construction bids to Mohawk Contracting & Development LLC for general contracting, Asl Refrigeration Inc. for mechanical contracting, Albarell Electric for electrical contracting and the WARKO Group

retired Jan. 19, 2024, having served the borough in a variety of roles.

Council thanked and commended Stoudt for his time as a borough employee after having performed street sweeping, repairs and upgrades to borough buildings, facilities and vehicles, in addition to improvements to the park and pool throughout his 43 years as a Public Works Department employee.

The second resolution honored retiring Memorial Library of Nazareth and Vicinity employee, Catherine Stewart, for her 44 years of devoted service to the library.

Since 1980, Stewart has been part of every library initiative, particularly those involving children in summer reading programs. She has also been the welcoming and caring library fixture that assisted community members with all of their library needs throughout the years.

Council thanked Stewart for her invaluable role in the community and for her improvements to both the library and the community over the 44 years she has worked there.

In other news, council approved three public property motions including: the purchase of a new compressor for the filter room at the pool at a cost not to exceed $6,000; the request of the Holy Family Sick & Relief Society for the closure of Phoenix Street between Locker Street and West Mauch Chunk Street from 4 to 10 p.m. Thursdays through Sundays; and the 2024 lease with the Nazareth Blue Swim Team for three evening swim meetings requiring pool closure to the public for the agreed amount of $4,500, as well as all revenues gathered being split evenly with the borough and the swim team.

Under finance, council approved the renewal of the proposed borough package of insurances with Brown & Brown at a total cost of $160,635 for general liability, property coverage, vehicles, inland marine, contractor’s equipment and police/public official errors and omissions with total cost of $249,976 for the

municipal entity insurance package that covers worker’s compensation, the total cost of professional services for administering the borough’s worker’s compensation coverage costing $72,806 and the state worker’s insurance fund coverage for firemen totaling an additional $16,535.

Council also approved an ordinance that authorizes and secures the issuance of a general obligation note not to exceed

$675,000, the pension rollover proceeds of Robert Stoudt to a qualified pension plan and acknowledgement of receipt of the 2023 cable TV franchise fees in the amount of $40,653. Under police, council approved the purchase of a 2023 Ford Interceptor police vehicle and the revised Nazareth Bor-

Additionally, parking enforcement had 233 parking enforcement officer violations and 88 officer-issued violations for 321 total parking tickets issued for the month.

Under law, council approved a revision to the borough’s disabled parking ordinance that permits motorists with a disability placard and motorists with registered disability plates to park in any designated handicapped parking space and a revision to the borough’s ordinance on street closures that permits council to designate an individual with the authority to close streets due to construction, maintenance or special events that require a

permit application/approval for street closure.

Next, council approved the environmental steering and lighting motion to proceed with the filing and funding of the remaining necessary expenses associated with the pursuit of the recycling grant for construction of a new recycling center on Gracedale Boulevard with expenses not to exceed $4,000.

Last, under public works, council approved the advertisement of a revision to the borough’s parking ordinance to eliminate the prohibition of parking a vehicle for the purpose of displaying the vehicle for sale, as well as the rejection of the $117,450 bid of Walter Brucker & Company for the police station ballistic protection project from PennBid.

Perspectives For the Health-minded Individual

Thyroid Healing

By DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Has anyone else noticed that thyroid problems are running rampant these days? Why are we accepting this as if it is a normal

occurrence? It is not. Something is wrong. I am seeing and hearing people on more thyroid medicine than I can ever recall. Thyroid removal seems to be becoming more common as well. Why do you suppose this all is? Better yet, what is being done about it? Both are fair questions from my perspective.

The thyroid lives in the area of your lower throat. The brain communicates with it via the spinal cord and nerves that exit the lower cervical spine, C7. It

is a pretty important hormoneproducing gland and plays a major role in our growth, development and metabolism. It helps to regulate many body functions. A thyroid behaving badly is just not good.

You perhaps are already aware that we can have an overactive thyroid or an underactive thyroid. Both can cause unique problems. When you add an autoimmune attack that’s chewing upon and beating up the thyroid in addition to the misfiring thyroid, things can go sideways quickly.

I wish I could give you a quick fix plan but I cannot. Nobody can as far as I can tell, so you are go-

ing to have to figure yourself out as you move along; to watch and wait is simply not a good course of action.

The real issue is that by the time thyroid problems start showing up in your blood work it means the thyroid has been functioning poorly for some time; perhaps many years if not longer. The best scenario would be to correct any thyroid irregularities long before advanced symptoms start showing up. But how would you do that, exactly?

The approach that I take is to not only address thyroid problems straight away, but to really assess whether other areas of that person are also struggling in some way.

What I have come to consider is that if the thyroid is off, then something else is more than likely not working correctly as well. Having other health issues and problems occurring simultaneously divides the innate healing ability that resides within. Doing what you should and giving your inner intelligence less battles to fight is a good path forward.

Essentially, I am speaking to unburdening the load upon the body wherever that might be. Do what you can, and should, before it is too late.

If you have a hypofunction thyroid you may gain some weight and retain fluids. If this is the case, should we see about cleaning up the diet at all? Of course you should, as this person could also have leaky gut, dysbiosis, GERD or irritable bowel in addition to a thyroid issue.

If you have a hyperfunction thyroid you may find yourself nervous and irritable. Should we skip the caffeine and add in meditation of one sort or another? You betcha. Removing stressful situations and stressful people would be another area to examine as well.

The quick point here is that if your thyroid is acting squirrely, then do your best to improve your health globally as this approach will help upregulate the thyroid in some fashion.

Should you remove gluten? Obviously. How about sugar? Of course. Should you take supportive supplements such as vitamin A and selenium? I do and recommend it to others, yet let’s not pretend a couple supplements can ward off the damage from cigarettes, alcohol and cheesecake.

Please give this some thought. We will pick up here in the near future.

Keep your eyes open for the release of my second book, “The Normal Thyroid,” due to be released spring 2025. For now, please grab a copy of “The Normal Diet” recently released through Christian Faith Publishing and available at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. An eBook and audiobook are also available. My best to you.

You are very much welcome to join us for A Fungus Among Us: Grow Your Own Oyster Mushrooms and Adventures in Cooking: Boba Tea. We know a lot of you enjoy gardening, and our Gen X and Millennials remember the different boba tea crazes of the ‘90s and 2010s.

Racing returns to Nazareth with annual adult soapbox derby

By CATHERINE STROH

Racing returned to Nazareth once again on Saturday, June 1, with the Nazareth Adult Soapbox Racing Association’s annual adult soapbox derby.

The event took an 11-year hiatus following its 2012 race and was brought back to the borough in 2023 with help from the Lehigh Conference of Churches, much to the delight of residents and racers.

The event’s second year back in the borough proved to be even more popular than last year, with seven more cars participating. The derby had several rookies that participated this year in addition to repeat racers; some that have even been with NASBRA since the very beginning, dating back to 2008.

The winners in the speed podium (bracket results) were: Rob Leiser in first place, Craig Dally in second place and Matt Rinker in third place.

The winners in the show podium (voting results) were: Nate Reddell in first place, John Wolfe in second place and Kent Fry in third place.

“I can’t thank our sponsors, racers, volunteers and all those who came out to support the event enough,” said Christine Rinker, director of administration for the Lehigh Conference of Churches. “Nazareth is a racing community and we are honored each year to bring racing back to Nazareth.”

NASBRA’s annual derby is tentatively scheduled to return to W. Prospect Street in Nazareth next year on Saturday, June 7, pending borough approval.

John Wolfe won second place in the show category.
