Looking by Verizon presents monopole Back Ed Pany Proposal to Bath Council Early Allen Township Schools In today’s column, Larry Oberly, my friend from over Allen Township way, continues to look back to early education in his booklet “The Schools of Allen.” Over time, the creation of the new townships and boroughs were carved out of Allen Township, formed their own school boards and sometimes acquired the schools already located within their boundaries. Early townships that were carved from Allen included Hanover, Northampton County 1798 and Hanover Lehigh created in 1812 out of more than two thirds of the original Hanover Township. The first public schools in Catasauqua were built by Allen Township (their present high school is back in Allen Township along Willowbrook Road, mighty close to their rival the Konkrete Kids. A school was built in 1810 in the village of Biery’s Mill near the mouth of the Catasauqua Creek, which later became Biery’s Port along the Lehigh Coal Canal at Race Street. When the Allen Township School District took over, the school was moved further away from the river to higher ground. There was also a denominational school set up in a log structure near the Schoenersville
Union Church. In North Catasauqua the deed of transfer of their school at 4th and Arch Streets shows a date of 1907. The transfer included the building, land furnishings that the Allen Township School District no longer needed due to the creation of the Catasauqua School District. The selling price was $1,736. That probably doesn’t cover the school tax for one homeowner in present Catasauqua. Township schools were also located in the villages of Stemton, now Northampton’s third ward. Siegfried Bridge later would become the Borough of Alliance. There also was located the 1st Levan School House (1793) at 2312-17 Dewey Avenue. Later a brick school was constructed on the lot. With the construction of the Washington Building, the school became a local residence. There was a school called the Dry Run School, 1840 near the Lehigh River on West Fourth Street. It was washed away by a flood in 1862. The replacement school was torn down to make way for the trolley line of the Lehigh Valley Traction Co. when the line connected Northampton with Allentown.

By KERI LINDENMUTH Third-party representatives negotiating on behalf of Verizon presented their monopole proposal to the Borough of Bath Council on Monday, June 4. The 130-foot monopole, which will be located near the Bath Volunteer Fire Department, will help eliminate coverage gaps in the area. Should the monopole be approved, Verizon would enter into a leasing agreement with the borough for $22,000 per year. Other wireless companies may also lease antennas on the monopole and pay 20 percent of their lease to the borough.
Andrew Peterson, radio frequency design engineer for dBm Engineering, described the monopole as “adding three more lanes to a busy highway.” A wireless cell tower south of the borough in Jacksonville cannot handle the dense amount of wireless traffic, much of it coming from the borough itself. This is leading to dropped calls, slow speeds, and unreliable devices during peak times throughout the day. The monopole will alleviate these issues, improving wireless access for Verizon users throughout the borough. Peterson and the rest of his team believe other carriers
may also co-lease the monopole at a later time. There are no safety issues and interference issues in regards to the monopole, Peterson explained. While the monopole will give off electromagnetic energy, Continued on page 7

As stroke victims become younger, recovery takes longer By VICKI CROW, HOME HELPERS Risk factors that make someone susceptible to stroke, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity are becoming more common in younger people.
Despite the common belief that stroke only occurs in the elderly, anyone can suffer a stroke at any time. In fact, while stroke has decreased in those over age 65, it has actually increased in younger Americans. By 2009, 34% of those hospitalized for stroke in
the US were under age 65. Stroke can best be described as a “brain attack” (i.e. like a heart attack but instead of cutting off blood flow to a part of the heart, blood is cut off to part of the brain). Once this occurs, brain cells in the area deprived of blood

begin to die, meaning abilities controlled by that part of the brain, such as memory or muscle control, are affected. The damage done by stroke can vary (quick treatment is vital to diminish the harm), however it is also the fifth-leading cause of death in America. Statistics show brain attacks are increasing in those under age 45, mostly due to unhealthy lifestyle choices like obesity, high cholesterol, and diabetes—all chief stroke risk factors. Even more alarming, obesity in children and teens has been on the rise, which
will directly affect the average age of a stroke victim. You may be surprised to learn one of the big differences between stroke in an older versus a younger individual is the recovery time. Younger stroke patients could lose many productive years and may require a lifetime of support. Instead of being in prime earning years, families are suddenly both without a wage earner while also needing to provide care as their loved one goes through the recovery process. Fortunately, assistance for families caring for a loved one recuperating from stroke is available. Continued on page 5

Separated?
“I understand you and your wife are going to be separated,” said a friend to a judge. “How dare you insinuate any such thing?” shouted the judge, his face purple with anger. “My wife and I love each other very much.” “Is that so?” queried the friend. “Well, I heard that she has only a short time to live, and since I know she is a Christian she will go to be with the Lord. Where are you going when you die?” The judge stood awhile quietly thinking. His face began to pale as the words took effect. He cried out. “My God, save me. All these years I have been turning away from You. Forgive me God and save me.” Death separates! It separates man from his closest friends and acquaintances. The Bible speaks of spiritual death which separates man from God. After God created Adam and Eve He told them that they would die if they were to disobey Him (Genesis 2:17). They experienced spiritual death when they sinned and were no longer able to live in God’s presence. Since then, all have been born spiritually dead. Jesus came to bring man back into fellowship with God. It is only as man believes in and receives Jesus Christ as his Savior that he is “born again” and given “eternal life” (See John 3). The Bible also speaks of “the second death” which is eternal separation from God. Who shall suffer this fate? All who fail to take Jesus Christ as their Savior, “...This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:14-15).

by CAROL RITTER
What makes Wawa so Popular? I live near a Wawa. I don’t eat there, I don’t go in for coffee, I don’t stop by for a milkshake, but I do go there for the (free) ATM, gas, a fast snack, a bag of nuts, a bottle of water or maybe, on occasion, an iced tea. So many times I observe the lines, full parking spaces, the crowds of people stopping by after a bike ride and recognize that if you go there you might have to wait (a little). Waiting in line is one of the things we don’t like very much, we have no time to stand idle in a line waiting to hit the ATM, or waiting in line for gas, or a parking space. But, so many people still go there. This is what all small businesses think about and even might be jealous of when we see any business so darn busy. The question stands, what makes Wawa so popular? They know you; they know what you like and how to get it to you quickly. They have taken a relatively small space and filled it with drinks, food, groceries, coffee and more. They offer the best deal in town - free ATM service (other ATMs can charge up to $5-$6 for the service). Customers can park right in front of the door and walk in within seconds. While standing in the line you can pick up penny candy. You also pass a hot case filled with hot breakfast sandwiches ready to eat. Don’t forget, you can play the lottery at Wawa.
You can get a cup of soup, a sandwich, or a hoagie. Speaking of hoagies, they have Hoagie Fest every year. Their team of employees can’t do enough to get you what you want in a short period of time. They have a milkshake machine, sort of make your own, might take a little longer, but it’s fun and they have clean bathrooms (a real sign of a great place to stop). So, as a small business owner, how can you follow the Wawa strategy to get this kind of action at your business? Just look above at the dozen reasons why Wawa is such an anomaly. Let’s say you own a small print shop, number one is most important, that you know what your customer needs and how to get it to him/ her quickly. And then, generally, Wawa offers something ‘new and exciting’ every single year. Hoagie Fest is an example of a genius marketing strategy. Your employees need to be your first customer, highly trained, friendly and skilled problem solvers. And last, but not least, all businesses can have clean bathrooms. This might sound small but it is very important to the consumer. If you want to grow your business, follow the dozen reasons why Wawa is so popular. Or just take a break; visit the ATM and line up for a sandwich and a chocolate shake.
NORTHERN ROOFING & SIDING
Owned by Vicki Crow and Brian Day, Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley employs Exceptional Caregivers who have been trained to provide assistance to families who are coping with complex care needs. While family Caregivers may provide the majority of assistance to those recovering from stroke, it’s important to have competent, experienced professionals available to provide care while the family Caregiver is at work or school – even to give the family Caregiver needed personal time. “We understand the effort it takes to support those recovering from stroke and the types of issues can vary widely,” said Home Helpers owner Brian Day. “As for the family Caregiver, even the most patient, loving and compassionate person needs a break.” “That’s why we believe it’s important to offer the family Caregiver respite, giving peace of mind knowing their loved one is in good hands.” Exceptional Caregivers trained to assist those recovering from stroke, along with much-needed (and deserved) respite care for the family Caregiver is better for both the person providing care as well as the person receiving care. Both are essential to relieve the stress during what can be an extremely trying time. For more information on Home Helpers of Northern Lehigh Valley, please contact Brian Day at 610-596-7055 or visit homehelpershomecare.com/ northlehighvalley and schedule a free consultation. The office is located at 4330 Lehigh Drive in Walnutport, PA. About Home Helpers Founded in 1997, Home Helpers is committed to “making life easier” for clients and providing peace of mind for families. Our Caregivers provide independence by helping seniors, new and expectant mothers, those facing lifelong challenges and people recovering from injuries or illness live safer and healthier in the comfort of their own home. As one of the nation’s leading inhome care providers (with franchise offices operating in more than 900 communities across North America), Cincinnatibased Home Helpers exclusively uses products from Direct Link, a top national provider of 24/7 emergency response systems and vital signs monitoring units.

Northampton County Honors those who Have served
By KERI LINDENMUTH A series of Memorial Day ceremonies and services were held at churches and cemeteries across Northampton County over Memorial Day weekend. Family, friends, and other loved ones paid their respects to the men and women who have served in the armed forces through prayer, song, and silent remembrance. The Sons of Veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, made up of a group of men who are descendants of Civil War Union soldiers, visited 10 churches and cemeteries throughout the county, including St. Peter’s United Church of Christ, Allen Union Cemetery, and Horner’s Cem-
etery, the oldest in Northampton County, to partake in such services. They were accompanied by the Tri-Community Marching Band, who performed hymns and patriotic tunes such as “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “America the Beautiful,” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” Members of the Sons of Veterans recited the Gettysburg Address and conducted a 21-gun salute before bowing their heads as “Taps” was played. At St. Peter’s UCC, Reverend Lamar Handwerk led the congregation in prayer for the nation’s armed forces and veterans, and

French Bulldog Rescue Network, Lehigh Valley Pitbull Awareness Club, Linda Ann's Greyhound Rescue, SOS Beagle Rescue, Save A Yorkie Rescue, Woody's Place - Senior German Shepherd Sanctuary, the Blind Dog Rescue Alliance, and many more. Several of these organizations participated in the event’s rescue parade and told the moving stories of some of the animals currently up for adoption. However, four-legged friends were not the only animals visitors could learn about and get up close and personal with. A Helping Wing Parrot Rescue had several exotic birds on hand that everyone enjoyed holding and petting. Meanwhile, Step Back in Time Equine offered pony rides. Other nonprofits at the event included service dog and therapy dog organizations, such as Paws 2 Freedom, Tails of Valor, Paws of Honor, and the Lehigh Valley K9
Therapy Association. Events throughout the day included a “sharp dressed” contest, a Passion for Paws dog training demo, biting demos by Northampton’s Officer Michael Buchanan and K-9 partner Vito, a rabies and microchipping clinic, and a drawing for over 100 raffle baskets. All of the funds raised throughout the day, from food sales, baked goods, raffles, and more, benefit the Northampton Police Department’s K-9 Force. Many of the shelters on hand were also accepting donations to keep their rescue and educational efforts running. With plenty of smiles and wagging tails, everyone is already looking forward to when footprints and paw prints grace Canal Park again next year.

NAZARETH AREA Partners for a New Beginning holds Third Annual Heroin and Opiate Awareness Day
Heroin and Opiate Awareness Day Raffle.
Find Love Without The Games
By KERI LINDENMUTH In the midst of heartbreaking news about the nation’s heroin and opiate epidemic, one organization in Northampton County is offering support, education, and, most of all, hope. Partners for a New Beginning, dedicated to spreading awareness on the topic of heroin and opiate addiction, held its third annual Heroin and Opiate Awareness Day on Saturday, June 2 at the Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Company. The day featured crafts, vendors, raffles, music, baked goods, food, and more than two dozen educational organizations dedicated to treatment, awareness, and counseling. “This is our way of giving back,” said Gerry Weaver, president of Partners for a New Beginning. Weaver became passionate about opiate awareness and support after having dealt with her son’s addiction and recovery. She

helped found the nonprofit organization alongside other mothers and loved ones of those struggling with addiction. “As mothers, we wanted to make a difference and start educating people and raise awareness,” said Weaver. The organization holds support group meetings, sends care packages to treatment centers, assists local families in need, and visits schools across the area to teach children about addiction. It is donations from events like Heroin and Opiate Awareness Day that make these efforts possible. Last year, the organization earned more than $20,000 in donations. Nearly 40 percent of those donations went to sober living support. Those in attendance during the Awareness Day event not only got to browse crafts, try their luck at hundreds of raffles donated by Continued on page 11

The Angel Of The Lord
The Bible promises, “The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them” (Psalm 34:7). One example of this is when the powerful king of Assyria was threatening God’s people in Judah. King Hezekiah instructed them, “Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles” (2 Chronicles 32:7-8). Then Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah prayed “And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria” (v. 21). That one angel alone wiped out 185,000 of Assyria’s most mighty soldiers and won the battle! Gladys Wolverton, a missionary to South Africa, related this story: Some years ago a small girl strayed into the street, and a large heavy truck ran over her. The mother was called as a crowd gathered around the scene of the accident. The distraught mother was told the back dual tires of the truck had run over her daughter. But, when she reached the girl, she was amazed her daughter was not dead. In fact, she was not injured at all! Amid exclamations of relief, the child stood up and said, “But didn’t you see that angel? I saw him take his hand and lift up the wheels as they went over me! So, I didn’t even feel the tires!” Angels are “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:14). If you are a true believer in Jesus Christ, that includes you. God sent an angel to protect Daniel—to “shut the lions’ mouths” (Daniel 6:22), to deliver Peter from prison (Acts 12:5-11), and to encourage Paul on a ship lost at sea (Acts 27:23). Like Hezekiah and Isaiah, you may be facing a seemingly impossible situation. Pray as they did! If need be, God can send His angel to help you!

The next day, June 12th, detours start when headed to Northampton as that bridge between Ace Hardware and the Kopper Penny food store and gas station and is replaced. The work is part of a $3.5 million in road improvements funded by the Rockefeller Group as part of the FedEx hub project that’s now under construction on Willowbrook Road. Besides replacing the bridge, it will include widen-
ing the road with turning lanes, adding light poles at the intersection of Nor-Bath Blvd., Howertown and Weaversville Road. That’s just one of hundreds of bridges that being replaced with new ones in a program of making better highways as well. The Phillies had started the west coast off not bad splitting the series with LA, til getting swept in San Francisco. Hope they turn things around in Chicago before they get home this Friday with the Brewers. Nice to see the Nascar

Local students design logo For On Mission Sports submitted by CONNIE MUSCHKO Mike Annunziata, a local entrepreneur and owner of a new Lehigh Valley business called, “On Mission Sports” was in need of a logo for his new business. The goal of “On Mission Sports” is to assist student athletes to become better at their craft, as well as be better teammates and citizens. The business plan is to have the students grow in whatever they do, the whole time supplying positive mentoring and support. So, he turned to the local high schools with a logo design contest proposal. He supplied all schools with the background information that “On Mission Sports” is an organization that exists to sharpen athletic skills, develop character on and off the field and inspire leadership in the next gen-
eration of student athletes. We believe in the adage from Ruyard Kipling’s Second Jungle Book, “For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack”. It is important to grow as an athlete but just as important to grow as a teammate. Bethlehem AVTS was one of the schools who got involved with the contest. Both the Graphic Communications and Commercial Art classes submitted designs. All three winners were from BAVTS and the final design was a combination of the first and second place winners. Graphic Communications instructor Dana Huber, says, “This wasn’t an easy logo design, because it was a very vague concept, but the winning design depicted the concept of teamwork and giving a helping hand.
