One and Only Hometown Bank (Originally published in 2006)
Today’s column continues to look back at the former First National Bank of Bath, a bank organized in 1900 that showed its financial strength by surviving the Great Depression. We are, with the permission of Mr. Tim Herd, a former student of this writer, quoting from the grand Bath 1987 anniversary book that Tim and dedicated volunteers published. It’s crammed with local history and remembrances.
“In 1962 when Bath celebrated their 225th anniversary, the bank prospered with assets of $8.2 million and nine employees. The bank suffered a personal loss in 1975, when Mr. Clark Smith, president and employee for over 50 years, passed away, a guiding light during his tenure at the bank.” During the bank’s history, they faced a number of threatening and tragic confrontations. Do my readers remember the following?
vian Hall Square. A boutique of fashions and accessories will be open to guests after the luncheon program. Proceeds from the Fashion Show and from a Silent Auction on that day will benefit charitable needs at Morningstar Living. Tickets for the event can be purchased in advance at the Welcome Center at Moravian Hall Square, 175 W. North St., Nazareth Pa., 18064. Morningstar Senior Living, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that owns and operates Moravian Hall Square, a life care community in the Borough of Nazareth; Heritage Village, an active adult community in Upper Nazareth Township; and Senior Solutions, a Home Care and Care Management business located in Easton.

The gunmen were later apprehended, tried and Continued on page 3
By KERI LINDENMUTH Allen Township Supervisors voted 4-1 to amend the township’s official map during their meeting on Tuesday, March 13 in order to make Stagecoach Road “history.” Residents living on the road petitioned for its permanent closure. The road, on private property, was once a township road but is currently a cul-de-sac. The road has not been used by the township in over 21 years and residents are seeking a way to ensure the road is never opened. As township solicitor B. Lincoln Treadwell, Jr. explained, the township’s official map lists Stagecoach Road as a “historic trail until reopened.” He recommended taking “until reopened” out of the map’s language to make residents “more comfortable.” However, Treadwell warned that this does not guarantee that a future board of supervisors will not reopen the road. However, to do so, supervisors would have to go through a long “road opening” process that would include somehow acquiring the property. Several residents of Stagecoach Road were in attendance during the meeting and expressed their determination in preventing the road from ever being opened both now and in the future. “We do not want that road to become a through street,” said Robert Hosking, speaking on behalf of residents. “We will achieve that objective somehow.” Supervisor Dale Hassler made a motion to follow Treadwell’s recommendation and change the

map’s language and “close the books” on both Stagecoach Road and Woodmore Road, another “historic trail.” “They are history. They are gone…and I think that is fine,” he said. In addition to the motion on Stagecoach Road, supervisors also made a motion to send a letter to The Rockefeller Group to express displeasure in the status of the FedEx warehouse construction. “They are really not where they need to be,” said township engineer Robert Cox. “[The] timeline is not being met.” Supervisor Gary Behler said supervisors should write a letter “expressing our displeasure.” While Chairman Larry Oberly acknowledged that the weather has not been “conducive” to the project, the township “still needs to say something.” Finally, supervisors talked about ways they can reward and incentivize volunteer firefighters. Due to residency requirements, not every firefighter would benefit from income tax breaks or stipends. Hassler, also the township’s fire chief, said that “showing appreciation is more than just giving money out.” Continued on page 3

Unfunded mandate concerns Lehigh Township Supervisors by JOE KORBA Lehigh Township Solicitor David Backenstoe explained a mandated pollution reduction plan to the Lehigh Township Supervisors and gathered public at the March 13 meeting of the board. The pollution reduction plan (PRP) is to stay in compliance with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Program. The MS4 program outlines necessary measures that municipalities must implement to reduce the impacts from silt and sediment runoff into our local waterways like the Lehigh River. Backenstoe suggested two plans to the board, both of which would allow the township to reduce the required amount of silt runoff to the river over a period of five years at the estimated cost of five hundred thousand dollars. The first and “easiest” according to the solicitor is an increase in millage, meaning higher taxes,
for residents. The increase to cover the cost would amount to a quarter of a mill over the five-year period. Backenstoe recognized that this would not be popular with people living in the township. “We need to make sure that they clearly understand that this is coming from the federal and state government adopting EPA standards,” he said. The second plan, which Backenstoe describes as a more equitable way to pay for the mandate, is imposing a fee on people who own property with impervious cover. The City of Allentown has an ordinance for a storm water fee that charges owners $20 for every 500 square feet of impervious cover on their property. A similar ordinance in Lehigh Township would result in commercial interests covering more of the PRP cost than private citizens and would impact normally exempt entities like churches and other nonprofits.
Looking Back Continued from page 1
Some of the board members took exception with the MS4 program on its face. “I have a major concern with this being rammed down our throats. The numbers are nebulous and arbitrary,” Chairman Darryl Snover said. The primary objection was that the state exempted only themselves from the program and the potential $27,500 per day fines that would be levied for noncompliance. “I’d like to appeal to this board that we file suit against the state for exempting themselves because now we have to deal with one hundred percent of the state roads in the township,” he continued. “Five hundred thousand is just the beginning. [The MS4] doesn’t represent the other manpower. That number grows. I’d rather spend the money and sue the state.” Vice Chairman Cynthia MillContinued on page 5
convicted. The president in 1963 was Mr. Arthur Lambert.” “In 1973, Naomi Smith, wife of then president Clark Smith, was accosted in her home and held for a $40,000 ransom. The ransom money was delivered as instructed. However, the perpetrators, a man and a woman, left the injured Mrs. Smith in her home. They left the home without waiting for the delivery of the money. They were apprehended, tried and convicted.” The most tragic day in the bank’s history was on June 6, 1986 when evil struck down three loyal employees and injured other honest citizens in the bank’s East Allen Township branch office. Some of the victims were former students of this writer over at Northampton High School. As a sign of sadness and respect, their names are omitted from this column. In order to provide service to their customers, the bank opened

branches in East Allen Township, Plainfield Township and on Main Street in Northampton. Eventually, other financial institutions absorbed the hometown bank, but many local folks and old customers still recall when its slogan was, “The One and Only Hometown Bank.”

Hassler suggested the township sponsor an outing or “something they [firefighters] would enjoy… [and] everyone would benefit from.” Township manager Ilene Eckhart suggested “quarterly incentives” like outings, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more, “to build camaraderie.” A subcommittee was formed to discuss more options and ideas. The next board of supervisors meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m. at the Allen Township Fire Company.

“Perfected Praise”
When Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey, “the multitudes… cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest” (Matthew 21:9). This was in fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass.” As Jesus entered the temple and healed the blind and lame, the children kept loudly praising Jesus, “And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?” These children were inspired by God to loudly offer the glorious praise so deserved by His Son! Jesus was quoting from Psalm 8:1-2, “O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength…” Hebrew for “strength” indicates “loud praise.” The Psalm asks, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” God, Who was “mindful of” man’s desperate need to be saved, had come in the flesh! While the educated religious leaders were ignorant of this divine visitation, God had “ordained” children to loudly praise the “excellent” name of the One Whose “glory” He had elevated “above the heavens!” Jesus said, “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight” (Matthew 11:25-26).

er also seemed skeptical of the MS4. “When the state says it doesn’t raise taxes, it is an outright lie. They push it down to us,” she said. Miller proposed filing a Right-to-Know request to find out how the state came up with seemingly arbitrary numbers for compliance with the law. Supervisor Keith Hantz echoed the sentiment, contrasting the board’s discussion of a new public works building with this mandate, “We worry about raising taxes for something that would benefit the community and they [the state] are forcing this on us.” Hantz suggested reaching out to other local municipalities to join in an effort against the MS4. Despite Backenstoe recommending compliance, Snover continued to be defiant. “If this board accepts this without putting up a fight, I will be disappointed,” he said. The pollution reduction plan is posted on the Lehigh Township website at www.lehightownship.com and is available at the municipal building for a month starting on March 9. Public comment is welcome. The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be at 1069 Municipal Road in Walnutport on Tuesday, March 27 at 7 p.m.

Allen Township Planning Commission Talks zoning amendments By KERI LINDENMUTH During their Monday, March 19 meeting, the Allen Township Planning Commission discussed proposed zoning amendments in the township’s northern sector. These proposed zoning amendments, meant to consolidate rural and agricultural districts, are intended to reflect the township’s recent comprehensive plan. Input from both planning commission members and township residents showed the commission still has a long way to go before these amendments are put in place. Chairman Eugene Clater acknowledged this process will be a “multi-month process” that will require input from residents and supervisors alike.
“We are not going to get there tonight,” he said of coming to a zoning amendment agreement, “but in the next small number of months.” Township manager Ilene Eckhart found several inconsistencies between rural and agriculture zoning that make consolidation difficult. For example, commercial properties, greenhouses, and recreational facilities are permitted in agricultural zones, but campgrounds, clinics, schools, and more are only permitted in rural. In addition, some agricultural properties have sold development rights. These uses create several challenges for the commission. “We may want to consider
Basket social March 23 • 4 to 8 p.m. March 24 • 1 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Drawing at 5 p.m.)
the option of keeping zones how they are,” said commission member Gary Behler. “Some are not going to fit no matter what we do.” Instead of changing the zoning, commissioners suggested changing the uses so that the “integrity” of the northern part of the township would remain intact while still adhering to the comprehensive plan. Commissioner David Austin agreed. In addition to changing
the uses, he recommended creating a new district for conserved lands. Talk soon turned zoning for the proposed Jaindl warehouse on the east side of Howertown Road. If plans for the development fall through, the planning commission recommended changing the zone to agricultural or rural. “Either one or the other,” said Austin. “What fits to the neighborhood?...What size [lots] do you want to have there?” The planning commission intends to meet with the township’s board of supervisors on April 10 to present these discussion topics and more.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual
Innate Intelligence Take a moment and try to wrap your mind around the fact that you were born with an innate intelligence that works to keep you healthy and thriving in every way.
by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC Helping for 20 years
This innate or inborn intelligence never takes a break from the moment of conception until your last breath on this side of glory. We know there is a universal intelligence well beyond our understanding that has spoken

every aspect of existence into being. This intelligence is God in all his glory. Now follow me on this; God, the universal intelligence, has given each and every one of his creations this inborn or innate intelligence. Without His innate intelligence inside us we no longer exist. It’s just that simple. Now think about this. The exact same innate intelligence that is inside you at this very moment is the same that’s inside me, and every single person. How incredible is that. This weekend I was walking through Wegmans with my wife. I turned to her and said, “Can you believe that each and every person here is connected?” She looked bewildered. I said, “I know we are not actually connected by
ropes or telephone lines. It’s more like Wi-Fi.” She still looked at me a little strange. I continued, “Think about it this way, the same God, the same universal intelligence that created you and me, created every single person in here. And the same God given, inborn intelligence that resides within each of us is the exact same intelligence that is growing every body’s finger nails.” She laughed, said she understood but that I was weird. Look, I understand how this sounds, yet what is more real than discussing the fact that we have a bestowed innate intelligence in-

side us right now at this very moment that loves you, the physical you, the spiritual you, the emotional you? Yes, you should feel special because you absolutely are. If you eat something, the innate intelligence communicates and provides for the proper gastric juices and a flow through the GI system. If you get a cold, the innate calls the immune system soldiers to where they need to be. To the point, every single thing that occurs within you has been touched by innate intelligence. Yes, the innate is in tune with every gland, organ, tissue, and cell in the body. But what if innate cannot do its job accurately? Then the organism won’t thrive as it should or could. Know that the innate’s communication highway in the body is the central and peripheral nervous system which is protected by our vertebrae. When you have a misaligned bone, a subluxation, that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and disrupts this inborn communication from freely going back and forth, you are, in my opinion, asking for illness. From my natural perspective, I believe your innate intelligence needs to flow freely from your brain to every gland, organ, and tissue...to every single cell, then back to the brain again in a constant and continuous loop. If the innate intelligence is blocked or impeded by a subluxation right Continued on page 9

up in the cervical vertebrae, for example, then you will not be as fully alive as you were designed to be. This is what I believe. Adjustments to correct these subluxations are what I have given my life to these past twenty years. My job is to detect these subluxations, correct them with specific adjustments, and then stand back and let your inborn intelligence take over. So that’s exactly the reason
why people come to the office for maintenance care. They may or may not hurt in some area. That’s not the point. The real point is that you want to be fully alive. They get the big idea that adjustments set your life force free to do what it needs to do. You adjust people and you see their light come back on. My best to you.

Mako announces Solar grant Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) announced a $371,250 Solar Energy Program grant was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Agency for a system at the Bethlehem Authority’s water filtration plant in the Northampton Borough. The Solar Energy Program provides financial assistance in the form of grant and loan funds to promote the use of solar energy in Pennsylvania. This specific
grant was awarded to NEE Investments, which plans to install a 675-kilowatt ground-mounted solar photovoltaic system on the authority’s property. “I’m pleased to see the Bethlehem Authority take advantage of this opportunity to use renewable energy to power its plant,” Mako said. “Diversifying the energy portfolio is important to reduce dependence on one energy source. I look forward to this project’s completion.” The system will generate 924,000 kilowatt-hours annually, 100 percent of the facility’s annual electricity usage. Electricity generated will be sold to the Bethlehem Authority under a 25year power purchase agreement. The total project cost is $1.28 million, with NEE Investments providing $911,250 in matching funds. The 183rd District includes South Whitehall (part), Washington and Whitehall (part) townships and Slatington Borough in Lehigh County. It also consists of Allen, Lehigh and Moore (part) townships, and North Catasauqua, Northampton and Walnutport boroughs in Northampton County.

Scavello Bill Permitting the use Of leashed tracking Dogs headed to the Governor
Submitted by CHRISTINE ZUBECK Legislation sponsored by Senator Mario Scavello (R-40) to allow the use of a leashed tracking dog to track big game which has been legally harvested or wounded was approved by the House of Representatives and is headed to the Governor for enactment. Senate Bill 135 was unanimously approved by the Senate last year and received unanimous approval by the House on Monday. Under the current Pennsylvania Game Code, it is unlawful for any person to use a dog in any manner to hunt, pursue or take big game. It is permitted only for wild turkey during the fall season. This legislation would not change the prohibition; rather, it would assist hunters in tracking the har-
vested game, including deer, bear and elk. “The use of properly trained and controlled tracking dogs can prove instrumental in recovering a mortally wounded animal, and greatly decrease the chances of leaving deceased animals unrecovered,” said Scavello. “This simple and humane change in the law will be of great benefit to both our sporting community and our most valued natural resources, white-tailed deer, black bears and elk.” The use of leashed tracking dogs is allowed in approximately 35 states, six of which surround Pennsylvania.

blood pressure in check, eating well-balanced healthy meals and adding exercise to your daily activities. Many people with type 2 diabetes struggle with basic diabetes management. In the United States there are about 29 million people with diabetes. That is about 1 in 11 people. Diabetes can lead to serious complications and premature death, but people with diabetes, working together with their support network and their health care providers, can take steps to control the disease and lower the risk of complications. If you or a loved one is struggling to manage diabetes, The Penn State Extension Dining with Diabetes program could be for you. This nationally accredited program is for adults with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Family members are also invited to attend the program. Classes are offered weekly for five weeks and kicks off with an orientation session. Participants meet again three months later for a follow-up session to check progress. This class, a $200 value, is offered at $5. Participants learn how to prepare meals that are healthy, simple, and tasty, sample the foods, and also learn up to date information on nutrition, planning, and important diabetes-related medical tests. A1C, a measure of blood glucose levels (a $35 value) and blood pressure will be taken at the orientation session and follow-up class. Participants are also given incentives such as an exercise DVD, plate method placemat, and a Dining with Diabetes Cookbook. Diabetes is a very serious and costly disease, but research has shown that those who learn to manage their blood glucose (sugar) levels, eat healthy, and exercise regularly can lower their risk of complications and lead a healthier and more productive life. Hartzell’s Pharmacy, 300 American St., Catasauqua, will host the next local Dining with Diabetes session. Information and registration session is Tuesday, April 3. The program will be held Tuesday mornings April 3, 10, 24, May 1, and May 8. The follow-up session will be held Tuesday, June 19. The time of all the sessions is 10 a.m. to noon.
