Garry Haidle named Warden of Monroe County Correctional facility

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

Garry Haidle Monroe County Prison Warden.

–Contributed photo

Growing up in Bath, Garry Haidle wanted to be a Bath firefighter and serve with the ambulance corps, because he emulated his dad, who was serving in so many capacities in the borough.

He did just that, joining the Bath Firefighters and served as captain of the Bath Ambulance Corps.

The son of Allen and Martha Haidle, he went on to study at Churchman’s Business College in Easton and also worked at the former Rehrig’s Garage, where he did office work with the late Carl Rehrig.

Then Haidle, who is now 48, began working at the Warren County prison in Belvidere, N.J. as a corrections officer. In 1995, he joined the Monroe County Correctional Facility in Snydersville in a similar position. He rose through the ranks, first serving as a sergeant, then lieutenant, and deputy warden for operations, where his duties included overseeing the inmate phone system, food services and corrections officer training.

The Monroe County Commissioners observed how he quickly picked up on his responsibilities Continued on page 2

A standing-room only audience attended a meeting of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors this past Tuesday, when three ordinances that would change a zoning district were delayed for two weeks. The changes would allow a project by developer David Jaindl to move forward, creating a resort residential community in what formerly was the Mary Immaculate Seminary. After nearly two hours of a hearing, in which the public was allowed to express their views, both pro and con, the supervisors voted to delay action on the ordinances until an agreement is reached with Jaindl on impact fees.

and made improvements at the prison, which is situated off Rt. 33.

They made him acting warden after Donna Asure left the facility last November. Feeling confident that Garry could do the job, he was promoted in February to warden. The three commissioners were so impressed with his work that they didn’t advertise for other candidates and picked Haidle for the job.

Haidle is thrilled to hold his new position. “I respect their confidence and support in me, knowing that I could do the job.

It’s not a one-person operation – teamwork is the main thing,” he says. “Coming in as an officer all the way up in the ranks. . .I respect them [the commissioners]

for what they do. You get respect when you show respect.”

The prison averages about 340 inmates each day – from murder suspects, others who commit violent crimes, to drunk drivers or who owe back child support.

Not long after he was appointed, Warden Haidle saw to it that a pregnant woman inmate was given care by the facility’s medical staff and when she was due she was taken to the Pocono Medical Center where she delivered her baby.

With his experience, Haidle observes that being warden is a very stressful job, that demands a lot of attention, but he’s up to the task.

Now a Pen Argyl resident, Garry has the support of his family, his wife Tracy, and their four children. And his mom and dad here in Bath are extremely proud of their son, one of their three children.

Natural perspectives For the health-minded individual

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Stress and Anxiety Who is walking the earth today that doesn’t feel anxiety and stress in one way or another? If you are that lone person that has risen above then I applaud you. For the rest, let’s talk about the issue at hand.

Simply put, stress and anxiety steal and destroy. I say this in the strongest manner possible.

In these almost two decades of practice and almost fifth decade of life I have seen firsthand how stress and anxiety gnaws away the abundant life God has in store for us. I have seen it in others and I have felt it in myself. The true beginning of healing is recognizing that your peace is being stolen and that you have a God given right to get it back.

Now, you may hear about good stress versus bad stress. You may yourself consider that sudden stress which goes away quickly is better than chronic stress that stays for weeks, months, years or potentially a lifetime and this may all be true. To the point, stress is stress and causes a physiological reaction within our bodies that I

perceive modern science knows hardly anything about.

The causes of stress and anxiety are too numerous to discuss.

Even as I write this week’s article, I have had three separate patients that are suffering with crisis and are riddled with stress and anxiety ask me how they can get out from under. No easy solution.

I will say that the word of God is a sword to be wielded against anything that comes against us.

Stress and anxiety included. To this end, Philippians 4:6 is one of the most powerful scriptures that I have marked on my heart personally and share with others who are suffering. Take a look at this passage and memorize it and say it out loud often.

As far as dealing with and addressing stress and anxiety otherwise, it is clearly situational. For the chronic, mystery illness sufferer, the process of healing can be painstaking. For those that have had their childhood years filled with abuse and abandonment, my heart yearns for your

peace. For our soldiers who are wrestling with post stress syndromes, for those that have great loss, for those that are struggling every day, every moment, to rise and stay above the pressure this life brings, I must say that the greatest healing potion I have to offer is to say you are loved beyond words.

In future articles we will discuss advanced healing possibilities. For this discussion, I would ask that you turn off the TV, drink more water, eat more vegetables, avoid soda and caffeine, read scripture, pray, do light exercise, and get rest as well as a good night’s sleep. These action steps may seem trivial, but they are not.

Start with what I stated here today and let’s get a firm footing on the correct path.

The three ordinances include: (1) to establish a planned resort residential community zoning district; (2) amending the subdivision and land development ordinance, including design standards within the PRRC zoning district, and (3) amending storm water management as it pertains to the PRRC zoning district.

The 285-acre parcel of land at the former seminary is presently zoned agricultural rural residential (ARR).

Jaindl proposed his plans to the supervisors many months ago, expressing his hope that it would be a positive for the township, preserving the seminary buildings and making a resort community of various uses, including single and multi-family homes, with much of it for age-restricted use, and a village shopping district with open space. Of the total 456-acre property, 200 acres, or 37% of the land, is in Allen Township.

At a recent Allen Twsp. meeting, Robert Hoskings of Stagecoach Rd. read a petition drafted by 14 people in which they opposed Jaindl’s plans based on their quality of life, health and safety, economic prosperity, and environmental quality. He was at Tuesday’s Lehigh Township meeting, again expressing those same points.

Lehigh’s engineer Phil Malitsch was asked to share his thoughts on the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission letter. He said the county comprehensive plan disagrees with the plans for the development because of the acreage required per family and the need for public water and sewage over private. They discourage public water and sewer because of the rural character of the township.

Supervisors chairman Darryl Snover pointed out the size of the structure and Malitsch agreed that it should not be left in disrepair. Snover said, “I can’t really come up with anything else you could do with a building like that aside from the proposal, or to abandon it and let it become a blighted structure the township has to deal with.”

There have been 14 meetings since the plans were first introduced as a concept by Jaindl, and the first hearing was on December 22.

Vetovitch read a petition from 222 Lehigh Twsp. residents opposing the ordinances that could facilitate further development, in which they cited adverse effects.

He said there needs to be a plan presented before a zoning district change is made. He agreed with the LVPC statements of concern adding that traffic on Locust and Creek Roads would be a “nightmare.”

There were comments in favor, and Robert Hawke said that he believes the supervisors have the best interests of the residents at heart and that the Jaindl project could help inject much-needed money into the township, with an opportunity for revenue from residents who would shop there.

Blaine Holden said he believes this project is better than a nonprofit coming in and making a development that would not have as high a quality. “I don’t think you’ll find other developers with the same resources or the same integrity.” Jaindl reportedly expects to spend up to $5-million for the seminary property, buying it from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

Other points expressed: putting the question on the ballot; encouraging one-acre lots for residents and let Jaindl improve the building; Jaindl has done a lot of good in the Lehigh Valley; confidence in the supervisors to do the right thing; need as much open space as possible; taxes would increase as density goes up; the seminary is architecturally significant; much of the land is not developable; increased traffic could be expected; increased municipal services; one, two or three-acre parcels with their own wells and one structure on each.

One man predicted if the board approves the ordinances, the building will be kept in its existing condition, and like the Martin Tower in Bethlehem, eventually it will fall.

Snover said there are no plans on paper. Zoning and subdivision provide the framework for development, solicitor David Backenstoe said.

Supervisor Cynthia Miller asked, “What do you want in that building?” She said the present zoning ordinance doesn’t prevent development on the site and that proposals to tear it down or renovate would be costly. “There would be nothing this community could do to stop that,” she said. Snover said some of the possibilities that were presented in the past are not what they want in the township.

Mary Louise Trexler commented that she has walked the property for 50 years. “My fear is, who else would want to buy it? You don’t know who would. I believe the board has a good handle on what Mr. Jaindl wants to do.” She is concerned with the water, and wants the monastery preserved.

One person appealed to Jaindl to make the building all residential, not commercial in any way, which would draw all the traffic.

Jaindl said all the uses that were mentioned are not part of the proposals. “We don’t know the

www.HomeNewsPA.com

potential uses and we will come back with a proposed plan. I can’t tell you what it would be today.”

He does believe it will be an income-producing property.

Under the AAR district there could be 350 residences; under PPRC, 590 units. The monastery building is 125,000 square feet.

Another woman said she doesn’t want the land developed.

“I don’t want another Whitehall Township. I live in Lehigh Township and I’m happy here.”

Backenstoe said the board has 90 days. As of now they have no impact fee agreement with Jaindl, which allows the township to make improvements. Mrs. Miller asked to delay a vote on the ordinances until they get an impact fee agreement from Jaindl.

Supervisor Keith Hantz said they should vote at the next meeting in two weeks (March 8 at 7 p.m.). Mrs. Miller said she will vote to approve the ordinances because it will do good things for the township. Jaindl is paying for all the legal fees.

After the hearing was over, a resident who worked there commented that the seminary, built in 1936, is falling apart. Snover said, “I’m hopeful that a well planned development will stir up some other development.

We’ve already lost a grocery store in Walnutport. Here we have a reputable guy who wants to stir up the economy. It’s been a give and take between the board and Jaindl. What’s the best use of the property?” Cindy Miller said they are grateful that a developer wants to work with them. As far as traffic goes, the township has plenty from the Blue Mountain ski area, and the supervisors are in the process of updating the traffic plan.

Other Matters • Needing a highway occupancy permit from PennDOT has been a holdup for the Turkey Hill project at the Cherryville intersection. Backenstoe said rights of way were also needed from eight adjoining property owners. All have agreed, and Cindy Miller was complimented for her efforts in securing the approvals.

The project has had conditional preliminary plan approval for a while. Backenstoe said the project should be moving along very soon if the improvements agreement has been approved by PennDOT. Snover said the board wants it to happen. What happens to another property across from the present Turkey Hill is up to the owner. It has been abandoned for years.

• The board was encouraged to hire another full-time police officer, because currently some officers are putting in 15-hour shifts.

The board may vote to do that at next meeting.

I Just wanted A hoagie Lately it seems I never have enough time. I love to cook and sometimes I just run out of time.

I went to a local grocery store to get my hubby a hoagie. There was someone being waited on before me. The hoagie maker (#1) was finishing up and I noticed another hoagie maker (#2) was watching her. When #1 finished she said, “Can I help you?” Before I could answer, hoagie maker #2 chimed in, “I will make her hoagie.” Hoagie maker #1 said, “No, I will make her hoagie.” I watched the back and forth dynamics and when hoagie maker #1 jumped in and made my hoagie, hoagie maker #2 gave her the big stink eye. #1 was finishing up with me and #2 did it again with the next customer. Obviously there was some kind of tiff going on with them.

As I’ve said in the past, you just can’t make up real life. Why do employees do that? They have so little self control that they are willing to shoot dirty looks in front of customers. If we took the time to examine dirty looks I think we would come to the conclusion that most who give them, 1. Deny doing it, 2. Use it as a tool to win, and 3. Aren’t able to verbalize or express what’s really going on.

I found a very interesting saying I posted on Facebook this week….

East Allen Township’s Board of Supervisors at their monthly business meeting on Thursday approved the 2016 use agreement for the Elite Championship Tournament Baseball program for Bicentennial Park, which includes youths between eight and 16 years from April through October, according to recreation chairman Chuck Frantz. Various sports are held in the park each spring, summer and fall, and Northampton High School has cross-country events in the fall at the local park.

Snow, rain storms The township, like many other municipalities in the area, has submitted an estimate of costs amounting to more than

$45,000 involved with “Winter Storm Jonas” of February 23 and 24 to Northampton County for possible reimbursement through the Emergency Management Authority. As 31.9 inches of snow fell, the township’s road crew used road salt and fuel, and needed many hours of overtime by the workers to deal with clearing the snow from township roads.

Then last Wednesday, a heavy rain washed out parts of Stone Post Road west of Snyders Church Rd., and township crews had to close a portion of Rt. 512 near the Norfolk Southern railroad crossing south of Bath, where it flooded. Several other roads had shoulder erosion, according to Gary Mathesz, public works superintendent. One person also had to have a water rescue.

lost 1-0 and 2-1, both in 10 innings before they beat Emmanuel EC, Bethlehem, 3-0. Farmersville: Kyle Campbell, 5 for 12.

Tom George hit into a triple play.

Emmanuel: Joel Dalrymple, 5 for 10; Bruce Danyluk, 5 for 12; and Jim Hill, 4 for 12.

Ebenezer Bible Fellowship at Salem UCC, Moorestown, was postponed.

St. Paul’s UCC, Northampton, had the bye night off.

I remember The war years

BLACKOUTS. During World War II, one of the things I remember vividly is the Air Raid rehearsals or “blackouts” as we called them. My father, who served in WWI in France in 1917 was a member of the Air Raid patrol in the early 1940’s.

Every Monday night at the sound of the siren, all lights were to be turned out and all cars would stop beside the road and wait until the “all clear” siren was given.

My father would have to wear a black armband and a special hat and he would go to the highway with other men in our neighborhood. They would stop traffic and instruct drivers to turn off their headlights and wait for the “all clear” signal. This lasted about 40 to 45 minutes from the time

of the first siren until the all-clear was sounded. I remember being very frightened by the sirens and scared of the darkened rooms during this time of blackout.

RATION STAMPS. Do you remember the ration stamps?

These stamps were used to buy sugar, butter, coffee and gaso-

line. My father was in a business where he needed to purchase gasoline to power his engines, so he was always worried about having enough gasoline to continue his work.

My mother would go to the Ration Board Office to get more stamps and they would ask how much sugar, butter, coffee and gasoline we had on hand before giving her more stamps.

My father would tell a humorous story about one fellow who piled several 25 lb. bags of sugar on his kitchen table before going to the Ration Board for more stamps. When asked how much sugar he had at home, his reply was “All that I have is on the table!” Thinking all he had was a sugar bowlful, he was given more stamps and thereby was stockpiling much more sugar than he was entitled to have.

NORTHAMPTON AREA Exchange planning Spring craft fair

Crunch Time

At their dinner meeting last night, members of the Northampton Exchange Club heard a talk on nutrition and health by Dr. Susan Bostian. Plans are being made to have the spring craft fair on Sunday, March 20 at the Northampton Banquet and event Center. It will last from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The board of directors approved the awarding of six $500.00 scholarships for this year’s Northampton Area High School graduating class. Robin Lutz, chairman of the Golden Deeds award committee, asked the members to provide possible award recipients with supporting information so that the committee can possibly select a Golden Deeds Award recipient for this year.

“Condemned Already”

Many people try to force the unpleasant thoughts of death from their mind by assuring themselves, "There's lots of time to think about dying." But God says, "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth" (Proverbs 27:1). The daily news regularly reports sudden deaths—an auto accident—a faulty bridge—an explosion—a plane crash, etc. Tomorrow your name could be listed among the day's victims! Many fear death, but it is what comes after death that should be feared. God's Word says, "...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

When you stand before the Divine Judge, what will His verdict be? You need not wait until then to find out. Jesus said, "he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18). This is the state of all mankind, because “all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). So, unless you have placed Colin McDonald signs for two more years with the Flyers organization.

To maintain a healthy lawn, follow a typical four step fertilization schedule using the following holidays as a reminder! : EASTER-Early Spring (Feb.-April) – Use a “Step 1” product or fertilizer with crabgrass preventer. You’ll help your lawn with early growth and root development.

MEMORIAL DAY -Late Spring (April-June) – Weeds are most actively growing around this time. A weed and feed fertilizer helps prevent weeds off your turf.

Focused on Folks 60+ Avoiding Caregiver Burnout – The Importance of Respite Care submitted by HOME HELPERS Providing care for a family member in need is an age-old act of love and loyalty. As life expectancies increase, more of use will participate in the caregiving process, either as the caregiver or the recipient of care.

Even though many families take great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences for the family caregiver

can be overwhelming without some support. Respite Care provides a break for the family caregiver, which may prove beneficial to the health of the caregiver. 60% of family caregivers age 19-64 surveyed recently by the Commonwealth Fund reported fair or poor health, one or more chronic conditions, or a disability, compared with only 33% of non-caregivers.

Respite care is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family

members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.

Respite programs provide planned short-term and timelimited breaks for families in order to support and maintain the primary care giving relationship. Respite care can be provided for a few hours a week or to help provide support when the primary caregiver goes on vacation or business travel.

There are various approaches for providing respite care:

In-home respite care

In-home care is popular for obvious reasons. The temporary caregiver comes to the regular care receiver’s home, and gets to know the care receiver in his or her normal environment. The temporary caregiver learns the family routine, needs of the care recipient, and transportation and strange environments do not inconvenience the care receiver. Respite services typically are obtained from a Home Care Agencies.

Facilities (personal care homes/ assisted living)

Another model uses a local facility where the care receiver may stay for a few days or a few weeks. The advantage of this model is that the specialized facility will probably have better access to professional assistance if needed.

Sittercompanion services

Sitter-companion services are sometimes provided by local civic groups, the faith community and other community organizations.

Phantoms

Continued from page 9

Saturday in Utica, Lehigh Valley might have come away with four or even five points.

“I feel like we are just never out of the game. There's no quit.

We just find ways to keep battling back and get points. It was a huge two points for us [Sunday],” Aaron Palushaj said after Sunday’s win. “This was obviously the biggest win of the season for us, especially playing a team we are trying to catch. We are going to enjoy it on the way [home] and get back to business and be ready

Wednesday night.”

Flyers Sign McDonald to TwoYear Extension During Saturday night’s Phantoms game, the Flyers announced that they have signed forward Colin McDonald to a two-year contract extension. While the move gives the Flyers more depth at the forward position, if McDonald doesn’t make the NHL roster next season the Phantoms will retain the services of their captain.

"At this point in my career you just don’t know when your last year is going to be," the Lehigh Valley Phantoms' captain said after Saturday night's loss to Utica.

"They approached us about a

Congratulations to the teams of “What’s So Cool About Manufacturing?” week ago and I think I have been pretty open about how happy I have been here. Everything from the Flyers to the organization here, it is top notch. I was excited to get an opportunity to play for this organization last summer, and it has lived up to my expectations and even more so."

So far this season, McDonald has 21 points (11 goals, 10 assists) in 35 games in addition to five games in the NHL with the Flyers this season where he tallied one goal and added seven penalty minutes. In total, McDonald brings 145 NHL games of experience (19 goals, 25 assists) to the table.

"I’m really happy that they were able to do it in this point in the year," McDonald said of not having to worry this summer about where he would be playing next year. "I think it’s good for both sides and I’m just very happy and very thankful."

Trade Deadline Passes Without Any Trades The Philadelphia Flyers were quiet on the NHL’s trading deadline on Monday afternoon. The only move the Flyers made was reassigning forward Nick Cousins to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, only to call him back up to the NHL after Monday’s 3 p.m. trading deadline pass.

The roster re-assignment was made to make Cousins eligible to play with the Phantoms down the road this season, as by rule any player on an NHL roster at the time of the trade deadline is ineligible to play in the American Hockey League (AHL) down the stretch or in the playoffs. While it’s likely that Cousins will finish the season in the NHL with the Flyers, if the Phantoms make the postseason Cousins would be eligible to join the AHL club after the Flyers’ season ends.

Up Next The Phantoms have three games this week, starting Wednesday night in Syracuse against the Crunch at 7:00 p.m.

ET. They return home Friday to host the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins before finishing the weekend with a Saturday night trip to Binghamton to take on the Senators. Both weekend games have a scheduled start time of 7:05 p.m. ET
