When it comes to warehouses, Allen Township residents Wonder when enough is enough By KERI LINDENMUTH In what has become a common scene in communities throughout the Lehigh Valley, between 50 and 100 residents came out in full force to protest the planned development of a new warehouse complex. Allen Township residents filled the Allen Township Fire Company on Tuesday, February 27 to voice their concern over the proposed Jaindl Watson Land Company warehouse development. This development, which will be built at Howertown

and Seemsville Roads and Route 329, will consist of six different warehouses, totaling roughly 2.5 million square feet. Plans for the development were submitted to Allen Township in December 2016. The land of the proposed warehouse complex is currently zoned for warehouse use, leaving supervisors’ hands legally tied. “Every municipality has to provide for all different uses,” explained B. Lincoln Treadwell, township solicitor.

Railroad, a project of the Atlas Portland Cement Company. It was built in 1901 and 1902 between Northampton and Bath and opened for service in 1902. Old-timers liked to call it the “Nowhere and back railroad.” In Bath, the 8-½ mile railroad

However, frustrated residents could not help but feel as if supervisors and developers like David Jaindl are not listening to their voices. Many residents who took a stand asked the same question of supervisors: What can we do? “We are looking at our community as a whole,” said resident Pete James, who voiced concern about 13 proposed warehouses in the area. “That is a wall of warehouses.” “We have had three large warehouse developments come into our beautiful rural areas,” said Marcy Vogal. “Perhaps you can look at keeping our quality of life what we would hope it would be…perhaps we need to do it [Allen Township’s recent comprehensive plan] again.” Numerous residents, like Robert Hoskins, expressed concern over the environmental impacts of the warehouses Other residents appreciated the job opportunities the warehouses would bring, but wondered aloud whether Allen Township has experienced too much development in too short a time. “We do not always control the change we get,” said Larry Oberly, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. “I cannot use the public opinion to violate the law.” Both he and Treadwell explained that if plans meet the

Huge tree at 2560 Wood’s Edge Rd., Bath was uprooted, and only prevented from falling to the ground by other trees. At 2101 Wood’s Edge, a tree fell on their garage, after the upper half broke off from the wind on Friday night. Sunday afternoon, a tree service came in and marked those trees and others that were a threat to falling. – Home News photo

Hurricane-like Winds topple Trees, cut wires And power

by BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News

The month of March came in like a lamb on Thursday, but on Friday it turned out like a lion, with winds at least 60 miles per hour. Bath borough was powerless and completely in the dark for most of two days. There was snow as well, but that had no effect. It was the wind. George Wolf Elementary School was open Friday night as a warming shelter, and approximately 40 people took advantage

of it. They slept on gymnastics mats Friday night into Saturday morning. MetEd warned customers that power might not be restored for seven days. Fortunately, Continued on page 15

township’s requirements, supervisors couldn’t legally decline the project. David Jaindl and his team were in attendance during part of the meeting. They addressed several planning issues, including the position of a City of Bethlehem waterline (which supervisors

voted 3-2 to place 11 feet off the curb). Jaindl also talked about plans to realign Seemsville Road 650 feet to the east to accommodate increased truck traffic. This would require the approval of East Allen Township. East Allen Township resident Eric Miller asked Jaindl what his team would do should their request be denied. “This is what is proposed right

now,” countered Jaindl. “When we meet that hurdle, we will address it.” Public comment during the three-hour meeting was cut short, frustrating some residents who were waiting to speak. Public comment was reopened at the meeting’s end, but Jaindl’s development team was no longer present, leaving residents to address supervisors instead. “How much warehouse space

made connection with the Lehigh & New England and Delaware & Lackawanna Railroads. The railroad carried cement from the Atlas Portland, Bath Portland and Keystone Cement companies to the markets on the east coast. The railroad office was located on Main Street in Northampton. The site is the present Newhard Pharmacy. The N & B was one of the first railroads to use diesel locomotives. The final run was made in 1978. The Atlas Cement Museum has a number of N & B artifacts which include the original banner and five-cent ticket used when you boarded the train in Weaversville for Northampton. The Bangor and Portland Railroad extended their line from Nazareth to Bath in 1900. The first train ran to Bath on October 11, 1900. It was a special train. The Bangor Railroad was taken over by the D, L & W Railroad. The first train over the Le-

high & Lackawanna to Bath was Thanksgiving Day 1867 (pictured above.) The last passenger train out of Bath was the last Saturday night in July 1929 when the Lehigh & New England abolished all passenger service. In 1890, the “Boston Flyer,” a well-known express, made a daily trip to Washington D.C. via Philadelphia, Bethlehem, Bath and Pen Argyl. For a number of years a trolley was operated between Bath and Nazareth and was known as the Allen Street Railroad. Carl Rehrig recalled the conductor’s famous Pennsylvania Dutch refrain: “Bethlehem, Bath and Nazareth, don’t forget your packagass.” On June 3, 1925, William G. Klipple came to Bath and established the Klipple Bus Lines, giving frequent service between Bath and Bethlehem, also Nazareth, Northampton and Moorestown. There are still a number of local residents who can recall riding over to Nazareth and Northampton High Schools on a trusty Klipple Bus. What great memories.

Police Blotter Shelter in place in Hanover Township

On Wednesday evening, February 28, CRPD units were dispatched to 1327 Stafore Drive in Hanover Township for a domestic in progress. The male actor, William Snyder, 44, had fled the scene. The victim, Nicole Watkins, Snyder’s sister, indicated her brother had struck her several times on her head and face with a closed fist. Watkins was transported to the hospital for treatment. A warrant was issued for Snyder’s arrest, however he was not located. On March 1, officers attempted to serve the warrant at Snyder’s residence. Snyder acknowledged the officers but would not open the door. As officers were speaking to Snyder through the door, they heard what appeared to be a round being racked into a firearm behind the door. They retreated and took cover positions. Backup officers arrived on scene. The perimeter was secured. County Control was requested to do a reverse 911 call to have persons in the immediate area shelter in place in their homes. All homes, businesses and daycares in the immediate vicinity were evacuated. PSP SERT team responded to the scene. Roadways in the vicinity were closed. Snyder had neither a landline or cell phone, therefore communication was attempted by loudspeaker for three hours. Ultimately Snyder came out the front door and was taken into custody. He claimed he didn’t know the officers were there. A search warrant was obtained to search for weapons. Upon entering there was a strong chemical odor in the residence. SERT members donned protective breathing apparatus and discovered a marijuana grow in the basement along with unknown chemicals. Snyder is to be arraigned on Simple Assault and Harassment charges, and additional charges are pending.

Search warrant in Wind Gap leads to Firearms, $20,000 Cash and more

On February 23 at 6:05 a.m., officers from Bushkill Township, Colonial Regional, Nazareth Borough, Tatamy Borough, Upper Nazareth Township, Bethlehem Township, Bangor Borough and Northampton County Detectives acting under the authority of the Northampton County Drug Task Force executed a search warrant at 340 Old Allentown Road in Wind Gap, ending a five-month investigation involving the sales of methamphetamine. In that timeframe, numerous controlled buys were made from the property. The Pennsylvania Emergency Response Team entered and secured the house and garage for task force officers. Task force officers seized $20,192 in cash, 25 firearms, one with a homemade suppressor attached to it, other homemade suppressors, a large amount of packaging material, plastic bags with methamphetamine residue, scales, a marijuana plant, one ounce of marijuana, Molotov cocktails and materials to grow marijuana. Mark Anglemeyer, age 52, Tyeler Trinkley, age 20, and Joseph Kluska, age 44, have been charged. PSP Bomb Squad also assisted the task force. Additional charges may be filed against Anglemeyer as the investigation is ongoing.

Traffic stop, Mark Twain Circle

On March 4 CRPD conducted a traffic stop on a suspicious vehicle for an equipment violation. Upon making contact with the driver, the officer could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search of the vehicle yielded a small amount of marijuana, a grinder, marijuana cigarette, plastic baggies and an empty pill bottle. The driver was identified as Anthony Davis, 21 of Hanover Township. Davis was charged through the mail with possession of a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Developer seeks tax relief for Cherryville development plans By JUSTIN SWEITZER The developer behind a longawaited project in Lehigh Township asked township supervisors to consider providing tax relief to the project at their Feb. 27 meeting. Joe Posh, the developer behind a long-anticipated Turkey Hill—and its associated roadway improvements—asked members of the Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors if they would be open to considering a tax increment financing proposal, also known as a TIF, that would help them finance the development of the project. A TIF is a tax device that allows properties to be taxed at the parcel’s current rate for a designated period of time, according to Lehigh Township Solicitor David Backenstoe. “TIFs are often used by developers when they want to develop a property which, let’s say, is challenged. Maybe it’s a brownfield, maybe it’s an extremely large piece of property which there are a number of different uses for—and the developer is going to have to put up a lot of cash, a lot of money—to develop the project,” Backenstoe said. “A TIF is a tax device which Pennsylvania legislature created many years ago, and in its simplest terms it does the following: it says that a property will continue to be taxed at its current rate for a period of time.” Backenstoe said that TIFs offer both a break and an incentive to developers, as they allow developers to forego tax increases that usually take place when developers are making roadway improvements and other similar changes. “Ordinarily, as you all know, when improvements like that are made to a property the taxes increase. What a TIF does is its says the increase in taxes won’t go to the township, county or the school district—rather the developer, for the period of time, can use those funds to pay off the indebtedness associated with the improvements of the project, whether it be roads, infrastructure, drainage, things like that,” Backenstoe said. Backenstoe said that TIFs can be “enticing” to municipalities, as they allow development to take place. According to Backenstoe, developers can only get approval for a TIF if it is okayed by the municipality, the school district and the county. Posh said that developers often resort to TIFs when all other options have been exhausted. In September 2017, the attorney for Cherryville Development Partners, Jim Preston, said that the developers were experiencing cost overruns and cost allocation issues between all the parties involved in the project, according to minutes from the meeting. “It’s usually, from a developer’s standpoint, a last resort kind of

thing,” Posh said. “If a TIF is capable of bridging that last piece, that’s when we look at it, and especially when that last piece is usually off-site infrastructure kind of improvement.” Posh said that utility relocations along Route 248 have been a thorn in the side of the developers behind the project, as the relocations would cost “several hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Supervisor Cindy Miller asked if pursuing a TIF would set a precedent for other developments in the township, but Backenstoe said TIFs are a case-by-case scenario, and said it would not set a precedent. Supervisor Keith Hantz said that he was interested in learn-

ing more about a potential TIF for the project, and the rest of the board agreed. “I would like more information... I think it’s something we need to entertain a little more,” Hantz said. Posh said he would move forward with employing a TIF consultant to provide more information to the township. In other business, the board approved to move forward with employing Watkins Architect to provide a budget, schematic floor plan and program outline for a proposed public works building in the township. The next Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors meeting will be on March 13 at 7 p.m.

Northampton Council Holds workshop Meeting By KERI LINDENMUTH Northampton’s council members held a busy workshop meeting on Thursday, March 1. During the meeting, council announced that the borough is under consideration for the PA DCED Small Water and Sewer Grant. State representative Zachary Mako and Willow Brook Farms Trust agent Robert Dwyer both provided letters of support for this grant. “[I am] very encouraged to think that they should approve our request,” said Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst. Council spoke hopefully of the sewer grant and mentioned that the winter weather has been hard on the borough’s sewer system. “Hopefully the sewer plant will withstand infiltration,” said Councilman Robert McHale. “The weather and the cleaning of snow in our streets has not been kind to our budget.” Also during the meeting, council approved members of the borough’s sewer department to tour neighboring sewer plants. “It is always good to get to see

how everyone else works,” said Brobst. Council also addressed the plans to close Route 329 in neighboring Allen Township. Councilman McHale predicts that the road closures will “create a major intersection fiasco at Weaversville and Savage [Roads].” Meanwhile, Councilman Anthony Lopsonzski, Sr. commended the borough’s zoning and code enforcement officers. “Eyesores are beginning to disappear,” he said. “I am looking forward to a real change once the weather gets nice.” Finally, council also paid their respects to Tom Miller. Miller passed away before the meeting. He worked for the borough’s road crew for 40 years. “He was truly a wonderful individual,” said Brobst, who worked alongside Miller for those four decades. “He truly was a Christian gentleman…a jovial person.” Anthony Lopsonzski,Sr. agreed. “He did have an infectious smile.”

If you are human then you should be considering consuming iodine on a regular basis. If you don’t get enough iodine from your diet (hint: you don’t) then you need to perhaps take it in a supplement form. After we quickly move through the “speak with your doctor to see if iodine supplementation is right for you” disclaimer we can simply say, iodine is one of the greatest and least expensive supplements you can take to help you. Thyroid problems? Consider iodine. Fatigue? Consider iodine. Cancer? Consider iodine. Fibroids, cysts, heavy periods, bad acne? Consider iodine supplementation. How much to take, when to take, and how long to take are all the follow up questions that should of course be asked and appropriately addressed. But simply speaking, iodine can have a dramatic and positive influence on your life. I understand the fear around taking way too much iodine. Some say it can throw you into a “thyroid storm” or trigger an auto-immune event. I myself have had an elevated heart rate when I took too much. So I understand. However, from what I have learned is that this elemental trace mineral is a powerhouse. Taken consistently, even in small quantities, iodine can change you, help you, defend you, and heal you. So why not learn all you can already? When I think of iodine it brings me back to the days when my parents would put Mercurochrome, an antiseptic iodine tincture solution, on my cuts. If iodine is a topical antiseptic, imagine what it could do for you on the inside. Please understand that I see iodine/iodide as a marine that travels in the body on your behalf

by DR. GLENN CLEARIE, DC

Helping for 20 years and very stealthily attacks invading viruses, bacterias, parasites, and cancer cells. I believe this to be true. I see iodine as a great defender of the human body. It just makes sense to me. Clearly you would be able to find research that agrees with what I am saying and also research that disagrees with what I am saying. How you interpret it all is up to you. It is only my job to tell you. For sure, if you have a history of breast cancer in the family iodine is cheap insurance. I have stated before that some even place a small drop of liquid iodine right on the areola region to allow uptake right into the surrounding tissue. This makes complete sense to me, yet again, here is the disclaimer, ask your doctor. I see iodine as one of the greatest unspoken natural healing remedies that has never received the limelight it should. Maybe that’s because it’s inexpensive, simple and easy. Please, please, please do some research in this area. Go slow yet consistent with supplementing iodine and you may see and feel some positive changes. My best to you.

Team 5 Holds First With 4-Game Sweep In Bath Die Hards

Bath and a lot of other places were left in the dark Friday night as really strong winds came along and ripped utility poles, wires and trees for a loop. It was far from what we wanted. March began with a beautiful day on Thursday, but Friday into Saturday was a couple days we’ll long remember. Now I hear we’re supposed to get 8 to 12 inches of snow as another nor’easter comes rolling in on Wednesday. I guess winter doesn’t want to give up, and there are still places without power. Even with power, it knocked off the Internet and caused other troubles that will drag on. Spring is still 12 days away and I can’t wait for it. How about you? . . . . It was great seeing all those Colonial Regional Police officers in last week’s paper, and to see all the special awards they got for saving people’s lives . They deserve the awards for all they do, and hats off to Rep. Marcia Hahn for recognizing them. It’s too bad we’re letting them go next year because of the high cost. . . .Reports are that the flu epidemic is tapering off. I certainly hope so. Too many died from it. Still and all, stay away from crowds and don’t cough if you can cover your mouth. You should get your hours of sleep, too. I should talk. Here I am writing my letter at 10 after 3:00 in the morning. Daylight Saving Time begins Saturday night/Sunday morning. Now will that help or hurt my sleep? - I can never remember. . . .Bath’s municipal building is shaping up with new siding. . . .Lots of events going on this weekend, so they’re hoping for better weather. I hear there was an electrical crew that came up from Texas to help out the MetEd crews with the wires and poles that were torn down with the wind. . . (Yawn) Forgive me, I need to get back to the sack. Good night, or should I say, good morning. (Yawn).

Carol’s Five Leadership Principles

I gave a speech last week on leadership. In my years of leading organizations and following leaders I have experienced all kinds. There are leaders that believe you need to kiss their ring, there are those who set themselves up as dictators, there are those who can’t lead and let someone else make all the decisions. And,

there are those who understand servant leadership. The best lead-

ers in the world inspire others and direct the band, not manage the band. They serve and take care of their team like no other, they get to know each person, discover their gifts and give them the tools and support to do their jobs. If you are a leader in some capacity, here are some leadership principals to live by. 1. Inspiring Others - I believe you can’t motivate someone until you understand them. Having said that, the ability to walk in your team’s shoes is critical to their performance. Inspiration means the process of being motivated to do something. So, what would you like your staff or team to do? Work harder, work smarter, increase sales, get better at customer service; all can happen with inspiration from you. 2. Embracing Change When I ask my audiences, “What do you think about change?” I receive the same answers every single time. “I don’t like it, I love it, it’s inevitable.” Change has been the backbone of many successful organizations or businesses. When I think of change I believe it needs to be done with careful consideration of all of the facts and then ask yourself, “How will this impact the team, the membership or the entire community?” 3. Partnerships Matter -

I attended the Mayor’s Breakfast last week and was impressed by the progress being made in the City of Bethlehem. Ironically, in my career, I started to think about partners I’ve worked with over the years. A shout out to the Bethlehem Area School District, Lehigh University and Moravian College, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Northampton Community College and St. Luke’s University Hospital and more. If you want to make a difference, create change, build the community, enhance the work of your business or organization always look for partners that have similar expertise and commitment.

4. Advocacy - Years ago when I was working with library employees, I taught them how to go from being an employee to being an ambassador for the library. I learned that it’s not as easy as one might think. When you see your team as deeply dedicated to the business, its services or an organization, then advocacy is the next step. First, you identify people of influence in the community who love and believe in your business. Those influencers can be the catalyst for getting more people involved and providing service to the any organization. Continued on page 10

5. Active Listening - Possibly the most important thing I will mention is that practicing active listening and no pre-set agenda is a big part of inspiring others. Gathering all the facts, collaborating with experts, and working with your team will enable you to make educated, informed decisions. No more ring kissing, no more dictators, no more whining. Leadership is about taking care of people, period. Your bylaws don’t matter if you don't have members and your business rules don’t matter if you don’t have any customers.

Help patients Rebound by Giving blood

submitted by ALANA MAUGER In March, while basketball teams are fighting for the chance to be crowned champions, patients battling cancer and other illnesses are fighting for their lives. The American Red Cross is asking blood donors to help patients rebound by making a lifesaving donation this spring. Middle school basketball player Olivia Stoy received blood and platelet transfusions during treatment for T lymphoblastic lymphoma. With the help of blood and platelet donations, the 14- year-old has returned to the basketball court. “We are so thankful that the blood products were available to Olivia for the almost two years of her treatment. They have made it possible for Olivia to regain her strength and get back to doing the activities she loves,” said Megan Stoy, Olivia’s mother. Donors of all blood types are needed to help ensure that the Red Cross can collect more than 13,000 blood and platelet donations needed every day for patients like Olivia. Giving blood takes less time than it takes to watch a single basketball game. Make an ap-

pointment to donate blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767).

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: Whitehall

March 31 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Muslim Association of Lehigh Valley, 1988 Schadt Ave., Whitehall.

How to donate blood

Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass® to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started, follow the instructions at redcrossblood.org/RapidPass or use the Blood Donor App.

Sixteen Angels!

A missionary and co-worker had to walk some distance to collect a sum of money which had been sent to a bank on their account. Night overtook them before they could reach home; so, committing themselves to God, they lay down to sleep on the lonely hillside and finished their journey the next morning. Some weeks later a man in the hospital stared at the missionary and said, “I have seen you before.” “No,” replied the missionary, “I don’t think we have met.” “Oh yes we have!” said the man. “You were sleeping on a hillside a few weeks ago. Several of us saw you at the bank and followed you, intending to rob you when it was dark, but we didn’t dare because of the soldiers.” “Soldiers?” The missionary laughed. “There were no soldiers with us, my friend.” The bandit was adamant. “Yes there were—we counted them. There were sixteen of them and they had swords.” After telling the incident while on furlough, the missionary was approached by a friend who asked, “What date was it when you camped on the hillside?” The missionary found the date in his diary and his questioner checked the date in his appointment book. “That night,” he said, “we had our weekly prayer meeting. Your name was brought forward for prayer, and,” he added, “there were sixteen of us in the meeting.” Hebrews 1:14 states that angels are “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” Note that the 16 believers had an important part in God sending the 16 angels disguised as soldiers—they were praying for the missionary that night. We see also in Acts 12:5-11 that God sent an angel to deliver Peter out of prison in response to the fact that “prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.” Let us pray for our missionaries and suffering Christians around the world that God would send His angels to deliver them for His glory!
