Northampton Borough Council discusses Recent threats at NAHS, welcomes Full-time

Allen Township

Supervisors discuss

Septic management plan, volunteer Firefighter incentive program

By KERI LINDENMUTH

police officer

During their meeting on Tuesday, March 14, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors discussed a proposed on-lot sewer management plan ordinance. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection requires that any new municipality Act 537 Plan includes a program for managing septic system inspection and maintenance.

Engineer Andrea Martin of Barry Isett & Associates said roughly 80% of township residents have indicated that they already maintain their septic system every three to five years. This ordinance would simply outline

the township’s monitoring program.

However, some supervisors worried about the extra work this could impose on the township.

“What this is going to do is force more work on the township to keep records on this…[and] we’re going to have to be funding this [as] the township,” said Supervisor Dale Hassler. “To force people to do something…that is a very contentious idea…particularly if it is unfunded.”

He suggested that the township devote resources to educating the public and putting notices online and in the municipal newsletter instead. He also said he would

prefer requiring septic inspection and pump-outs before a house is sold or a certificate of occupancy is granted.

Martin added that township residents could apply for waivers based on household size, tank size, or seasonal use. The township also already has a database of properties with septic systems. They would just need to implement a notification system to remind residents to check their septic tanks.

The board asked that Martin simplify the draft ordinance language and return to the board.

Lehigh Twp. Supervisors hear Needs of fire department

By LAURA KLOTZ

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Northampton Borough Council met Thursday, March 16 to consider approval for apartments on Main Street, an appointment to the Planning Commission, various requests, an Eagle Scout project, and the hiring of a full-time police officer.

During reports, Mayor Anthony Pristash voiced utter disappointment with the Northampton Area School District superintendent and the chief of school police regarding the recent shooting threats at the high school.

Northampton Borough Police Chief Kadingo shared that one of the threats occurred on Friday, March 10, which detailed a shooting threat for Tuesday, March 14, yet he was not made aware until Sunday afternoon.

Kadingo stated that he had not heard anything from the NASD superintendent at all, but had patrol units in the parking lots of the school and offered to do what he could.

The police department, which is only two blocks from the high school, was not contacted, yet the

Pennsylvania State Police and the Moore Township Police Department were called to help patrol and with the investigations.

“This has happened in the past,” said Kadingo, adding that the police were called by the district once for a student that refused to remove their sunglasses, but not for terroristic threats.

Several council members expressed that a letter demanding the validation and explanation of the events and proof regarding why the police department was not notified is needed, and Mayor Pristash stated that he will be happy to pen the letter.

In other business, the Planning Commission had granted preliminary and final approval for the development located at 1204 Main St. in the building that the VFW previously occupied for 15 efficiency apartments contingent on a variance from the Zoning Hearing Board, which was granted for the proposed 21 parking spaces on an area of land that the Norfolk and Western Railway

The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, March 14 at 7 p.m. Board chairman Michael Jones was absent, as was board member Gerald Pritchard; vice-chairman Cynthia Miller oversaw the meeting.

Requests for extensions on two projects were heard. The representative for Bulldog Properties at 4209 Lehigh Dr. reported that progress is being made on the site, where a bakery and pizzeria are being added, and asked for

an extension until June 30. The representative for Riverview SelfStorage informed the board that they have completed the on-site testing and are waiting for approval of their report, and asked for an extension until July 31. Both requests were approved.

The recreation board is setting up a pet inoculation clinic and hopes to finalize the details soon. The supervisors were given draft copies of the proposed signage for the Danielsville and Delps parks, although the final draft has not

yet been received. Miller said that the company making the signs also does wooden signs, and suggested that a wooden sign might last longer. Township Manager Alice Rehrig will consult with the company about this option.

Frank Zamadics of the public works department reported a largely quiet month. The recycling center is on track to open on April 3, and he is getting a quote to edit the sign which lists the material the center will accept.

Terroristic threat made to Northampton Area High School

By HOME NEWS STAFF

On Tuesday, March 14, Northampton Area High School was closed to in-person classes due to a terroristic threat.

The phrase “Shooting Up School March 14th” had been found written in a bathroom stall at the high school.

On Friday, March 10, NASD Superintendent Joseph S. Koval-

chik sent an email to parents and guardians, alerting them of the threat to the school.

Northampton Area Middle School and other district schools were open March 14 as no threats had been made against them, while the high school participated in remote learning.

The administration stated that the person responsible for the

threat against the school will be held accountable.

Police Chief Bryan Kadingo and Officer Robert Lindsay.

Suburban Darts

Week 24

Second place St. Paul’s moved closer to first place with a pair of wins over Dryland 5-0 and 6-4, losing the ‘middle game’ 8-7. Leading hitters for St. Paul’s were John Hoysan 6 for 12, Rich Kern 6 for 14, and Roger Kern 5 for 13. Bernie Yurko was 6 for 13, Nate Phares 6 for 14, Shawn Sigley 5 for 13, with HR’s from Earl Sigley and Lou Dervarics for Dryland. After a 5-1 loss to Emmanuel, Star of Bethlehem came back to win 5-1 and 4-0. Hitters included Jacob Hoffert 8 for 14 (HR), Walt Hoffert 5 for 13, and Scott Hoffert 5 for 14 for Star of Bethlehem, while Jim Hill was 5 for 12 and Judy Hoffert 4 for 9 for Emmanuel.

Christ UCC beat Farmersville 4-1 and 8-1, losing the ‘nightcap’ 3-1. Top hitters for Christ UCC were George Gasper 7 for 11(HR), Dave Shaver 4 for 10, and Donnie Laudenslager with a HR. For Farmersville, Wade Chilmonik was 5 for 9 and Dave Campbell 4 for 9.

The final match finds Ebenezer ‘sandwiching’ 10-3 and 3-0 wins around a 7-3 loss to Light of Christ. Leading the way for Ebenezer were Brendan Blevins 8 for 14, Joe Kish 5 for 10, Scott Blevins with 2 HR’s, and sole HR’s from Carol Portman and Joey Blevins. Andy Mickelson was 5 for 12, Dan Halteman 4 for 11, and Norm Schoenberger 4 for 11 (HR) for Light of Christ.

His crew is continuing to deal with trees which were brought down by recent storms.

Elizabeth Amato of the zoning board said that they issued 23 permits in February. The conditional use hearing for the solar farm took place as scheduled, and conditional approval for the project was granted.

A resolution provided by Police Chief Scott Fogel will be reviewed by the supervisors and added to the agenda for their next meeting.

Fire Commissioner Richard Hildebrand told the board that the ladder truck will be the next vehicle to need replacing. The fire company has received $35,000 in repairs to their pumper truck, and while he is deeply grateful for the community’s continued support, the department is struggling with the cost of apparatus repairs. He regrets bringing bad news to the board, but new trucks are the only way to prevent that from continuing to be a problem. The ladder truck is of paramount im-

portance, because the services offered by the fire company cannot be reduced to less than what they currently are; a 100-foot ladder is vital due to the structure of some residences. He also said that it has been suggested that a municipality the size of Lehigh Township should have a second fire station.

He was not asking for an immediate decision, but he did want the board to be aware of the situation due to a time constraint involved.

The company has received three bids for a new truck and Hildebrand will provide the data to the board members once they have determined which vendors have the ability to meet the needed specifications, which he hopes they will be able to do before the next supervisor meeting.

Township Engineer Michael Muffley reported that all corrective work has been done on the Cherryville intersection and the final paperwork has been submitted to PennDOT. They are just waiting to receive the final invoice and PennDOT’s approval to close out the project.

The board members received a final draft of the ordinance re-

garding landscaping business definitions and requirements. The draft was approved and will be advertised for adoption at a future meeting. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe has completed his revisions on the resolution discussed at the previous meeting to establish a process for appointment to boards and commissions; the members will review the resolution and discuss

it at a later date. As a final note, everyone in attendance was advised that the fire company will be holding their 11th Annual Sportsman’s Night on Saturday, March 25 from 4 to 10 p.m. The board then adjourned for an executive session. The next supervisors meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 28 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

Allen Twp.

Continued from page 1

In other news, the board discussed a volunteer firefighter incentive program. Township Manager Ilene Eckhart is currently exploring tax credit opportunities and will be reaching out to neighboring municipalities where some volunteer firefighters reside. However, she said a simple program the township can implement faster would be a fuel

rebate.

“All volunteers expend their own resources just to get to a call,“ she said, adding that the township can base this rebate on a set mileage from the volunteer’s residence to the fire station and back. No volunteer lives more than two-and-a-half miles away.

All supervisors were in favor of this program.

The board also heard from the property owner of 559 Atlas Rd. The owner would like to develop a subdivision on the property,

consisting of one duplex at the corner of Atlas and Savage roads. The property owner requested a waiver that would defer sidewalk and curbing requirements until a later time.

He explained that there are no other sidewalks in the area, so there would be nowhere for these new sidewalks to connect to, rendering them useless. He added that they would not be required if a single-family home was built there. While he understands sidewalks and curbs would be needed eventually, he asked for a deferral until it “makes more sense” to construct them.

The township’s planning commission recommended the denial of these deferrals, something supervisors agreed with. Several supervisors noted they were not in favor of waiving sidewalks for safety reasons. Hassler also said it is hard to get sidewalks constructed once the property switches hands to new owners.

All supervisors except Supervisor Tim Paul rejected the waiver request for sidewalks and curbing. As a result, the property owner asked for their duplex plan to be tabled.

currently owns. The railway has agreed to lease the parking lot to the developers, but refused to sell them the land.

Borough Solicitor Brian Panella raised the question of having conditional approval be required by the developer to provide documentation of parking that will be available and remain available during the proposed use of the building, with signed documentation from the railway.

The applicant’s representative expressed that proof of parking has already been submitted, but that the railway lease is only offered month-to-month, and claimed that the proposed conditional approval would condemn the property and its proposed use.

Vice President Ronald Glassic made the motion to move forward with the conditional approval for the proposed 21 parking spaces upon receipt of documentation signed by the railway and the owner. The motion carried with all council members voting in favor of the conditional approval aside from council member Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. who voted against the motion.

Next, council unanimously voted to appoint Christopher Crush to fill the vacant seat on the Planning Commission.

Council also voted unanimously to accept the retirement request from Zoning Officer Juliann Edelman effective June 15, although council and Borough Manager LeRoy E. Brobst voiced that she will be missed.

Following, council unanimously voted to accept the requests from the City of Bethlehem to use the borough’s portable band trailer on Sunday, October 29 for their Halloween parade upon receipt of appropriate fees and insurance documentation, and for Becky’s Drive-In to use the portable band trailer to host their annual Benefit Festival and Car Show to benefit Dream Come True of the Blue Ridge Chapter, which has raised over $405,000 to date.

In other news, the Northampton Fire Department will be replacing two of their aging trucks with a new, single unit upon approval from council. The construction of the truck is expected to be three or even four years out and would allow sufficient time for the fire tax to generate some of the funds needed.

Next, Kaden Rossanese was granted permission by council to

prepare a memorial area in conjunction with the placement of the new sign at the fire station, which will serve as his Eagle Scout project. The project will include personalized bricks that residents can purchase in honor of firefighters and veterans. The cost of each brick will be $50 and a website will be created shortly for individuals to purchase the bricks. Interested individuals should check on the borough website and the fire department’s Facebook page for the link in the coming weeks.

Following, council unanimously approved the request for Civil Service Commission members Jeffrey Brant and Kelly Milisits, as well as council member Bonnie Almond to attend the Civil Service Procedures Training Workshop on Tuesday, May 16 in Quakertown at a cost of $150 for each participant.

Last, council unanimously voted to hire Robert Lindsay for the full-time entry level patrol position in the borough’s police department, effective April 3. This brings the total number of full-time police officers in the borough to 16.

Upcoming Northampton Borough Council meetings will be held Thursday, April 6 and Thursday, April 20 at 7 p.m. in the borough’s municipal offices, located at 1401 Laubach Ave.

Lehigh, Moore, East Allen townships

Awarded grants

Submitted by TRACY POLOVICK

Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/ Northampton) last week announced more than $1.2 million

in Local Share Account grants from gaming revenues were awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to projects within Northampton County.

Act 71 of 2004 provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the CFA to support projects of public interest within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Those receiving grants were:

• East Allen and Moore townships – $266,573 for purchase of an asphalt paver and trailer for use by both municipalities.

• Lehigh Township – $1 million to assist with construction of a new public works facility.

“Both of these grants will fund key projects that will benefit area residents for years to come,” Mako said. “The asphalt paver and trailer will allow the townships to repair roads in a timely fashion so that wear and tear on vehicles is reduced. The Lehigh Township public works facility is more than 60 years old and has outlived its usefulness. This grant will allow for a modern structure that can meet the needs of the public works’ staff and equipment.”

Over $3M in new Grant funding on Way to communities

Submitted by JORDAN WALTERS

Rep. Joe Emrick (R-Northampton) last week announced $3.4 million in new grant funding for the 137th legislative district.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to see this funding approved for the residents of the district,” said Emrick. “Projects like these improve public safety and are critical to our region’s economic growth. Area residents will benefit from the impact of these projects for years to come.”

The grants are awarded as follows:

• Bethlehem Township, Bethlehem Municipal Authority - $1 million for Phase 1 of a flood mitigation project.

• Nazareth Borough –$700,000 for the purchase of a pumper fire engine.

• Nazareth Borough – $40,000 for a 2022 GMC Sierra with a plow attachment.

• Palmer Township – $58,592 for Suburban EMS to purchase a transit van for use in its 14-municipality region.

• Palmer Township – $138,433 for Suburban EMS to purchase a new ambulance for use in the 14-municipality coverage area.

• Tatamy Borough – $138,352 for the purchase of a utility truck for borough maintenance.

• Upper Nazareth Township –$296,924 for the purchase of two new dump trucks and a highflow skid steer.

The grants were approved and awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, which was established as an independent agency that holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth.

Local Share Account (LSA) grants are derived from gaming revenues.

Emrick also noted approval of the following LSA grants for other improvement projects within the 137th Legislative District:

• Bethlehem Township –$200,000 for the purchase of a new ambulance.

• Palmer Township – $525,000 for construction of a new pavilion building on behalf of the Brown and Lynch American Legion Post #9.

• Upper Nazareth Township –$300,000 for an addition to the municipal building. The addition will provide a new meeting room for public meetings and open the existing meeting room for office space for the administration and police officers.

Freeman welcomes $2.65M in state Grants

Submitted by TOM ANDREWS

State Rep. Robert Freeman said he was pleased to see the Commonwealth Financing Authority last week approve more than $2.65 million in grants for projects in his Northampton County legislative district.

“Each of these grants will have a significant impact for the municipalities and organizations that sought the funds. The best part about these projects is that they all will benefit residents in one way or another by providing community gathering spaces, enhancing recreational opportunities, making roads safer or improving emergency services,” said Freeman, D-Northampton.

Freeman said the funding was

awarded through the Multimodal Transportation Fund and State Local Share Account that are administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.

Local grantees include:

Easton

• $377,392 for traffic calming and streetscape improvements along Wood Avenue in the West Ward neighborhood of the city. The proposed project will transform this major thoroughfare along Wood Avenue to improve the traffic flow, safety and aesthetics of the community. The improvements will include roadway repair and resurfacing, new ADA ramps, marked crosswalks, traffic calming medians and traffic signal improvements. Additionally, landscaping services to enhance the streetscape improvements will be completed. The redesigned streetscapes will enhance pedestrian safety and reroute traffic to the improved and safer intersections. Remaining intersections will be enhanced with better sightlines and traffic calming measures to ensure vehicular crossings and safe passage for pedestrians.

Freemansburg Borough

• $620,600 for construction and engineering costs to build a community center. The proposed project is a 7,200-square-foot facility that would provide the community with an indoor space for events, fitness and exercise programs, walking track, weekend farmers’ market, snack stand and restroom facilities that will enhance the experience at several borough-sponsored events.

• $200,000 for vehicular and pedestrian safety improvements along Main and Washington streets.

Hellertown Borough

• $396,767 for improvements at Gregory Park located at the intersection of Third Avenue and Easton Road. The existing basketball court was constructed approximately 65 years ago and is in deteriorating condition. This project involves demolishing the existing basketball court, playground equipment, and fencing to install a half-court sized basketball play area with fencing, new playground equipment with mulching to complement the existing swing set, and an ADA path from the court to the sidewalk. Site amenities such as benches, a bike rack, recycling and trash receptacles, and street trees will also be installed.

Lower Saucon Township

• $200,000 to replace the old and damaged Tot Lot B playground equipment located at the Town Hall Park. The new equipment geared for 6-to-12-year-olds will replace damaged equipment that no longer has replacement parts available for purchase. The township will purchase and install the new playground structure and purchase ADA-compliant rubber mulch and swing mats.

Palmer Township

• $300,000, on behalf of the Brown & Lynch American Le-
