Bethlehem native Daniel Roebuck Announces release Date for ‘Lucky Louie’
Allen Township Supervisors Prepare for Indian Trail Road closure, Reject idea For new Apartments
By KERI LINDENMUTH
During their meeting on Tuesday, February 28, the Allen Township Board of Supervisors discussed the impending closure of Indian Trail Road. PennDOT plans to close the road in “the next couple of months” as demolition and reconstruction begin on the Indian Trail Road Bridge. While local roads will remain open, Township Manager Ilene Eckhart predicts traffic troubles.
“It’s going to be a hassle, especially for the first couple of weeks,” she told supervisors.

On Friday, March 3, actor and director Daniel Roebuck announced the release date of major motion picture “Lucky Louie” alongside his daughter and codirector Grace Roebuck and the non-profit A Channel of Peace (ACHOP) production team.
Roebuck is a Lehigh Valley native and grew up in Bethlehem before moving to California to
pursue his acting career. You may know him from the many roles he’s played throughout the years, with a resume that includes features in the television shows and movies such as “Matlock,” “Nash Bridges,” “The Late Shift,” “Lost,” “Glee,” and several Rob Zombie films—the latest being the 2022 reboot film of “The Munsters,” where Roebuck plays The Count.
There will only be one detour route for trucks and cars. This detour will direct traffic up Kreidersville Road to Walnut Drive and Route 248. Because of this, supervisors are concerned about tractor-trailer traffic driving down Indian Trail Road and not having room to turn around once they reach the closed bridge.
“If we get trucks on any [local] roads, it is going to be a real nightmare,” added Eckhart.
Supervisor Gary Behler said “No Truck Traffic” signs should
In 1938, the Works Progress Administration practically touched all area communities.
The WPA was a government agency during President Roosevelt's New Deal Administration, headed by Harry Hopkins. It provided millions of jobs for the unemployed.
Many roads, parks and buildings were constructed during the era. Old Wolf Field, where the Konkrete Kids played football on a Saturday afternoon, was a WPA project, as was the Catasauqua swimming pool, built between 1933 and 1935.
Our cement plants were not at full production, so they were happy for any WPA cement con-
tracts. In 1938, Whitehall Cement Manufacturing Company was given a $570,800 contract. This contract was made for use by John A. McCarthy Co. Inc., in the Bronx, N.Y.
Other contracts were given to Alpha Portland, Martins Creek, Universal Atlastown, Penn Dixie, Keystone, Lone Star Naza-

Lehigh Township Supervisors Discuss Ongoing Projects
By LAURA KLOTZ
The Lehigh Township Board of Supervisors met on Tuesday, February 28 at 7 p.m. As the meeting opened, it was announced that the recent inclement weather delayed the final corrections to the Cherryville intersection, as mentioned at the previous meeting. It is expected that the corrections will be made and the paperwork submitted by the time of the next board meeting.
David Drake was invited to attend the meeting to update the board on the maintenance building project and explain the anticipated costs. Drake stated the International Building Code of Pennsylvania is updated every three years and is always three years behind, so the project is now being held to the 2018 code. Because the maintenance building’s plans predate this, they must be reviewed to make sure they still meet the requirements, especially with regard to structural and mechanical engineering and energy efficiency. The projected cost of $12,000 will be for three separate firms to do this, and also to see if any other changes need to be made. Adam Raker, who is closely involved with the project, pointed out that this is much more cost effective than submitting the plan as it presently exists and then making changes afterward. He warned the board that they can expect the cost of materials for the project to be significantly higher than they were when the plans were originally drafted, due to the recent inflation. The board agreed to approve updating the plan at a cost of no greater than $12,000, per the terms of the letter from Drake’s firm.
A letter of resignation from Chrissy Czonstka, a member of the municipal building’s office staff, was received and accepted by the board. The township will advertise for someone to fill the position.
The township has received a grant from the Grow NorCo program, which will be applied toward upgrading the cameras and other technology at municipal facilities, including electronic ac-
cess. This grant will be combined with the township’s remaining Covid-19 funding, and after a brief discussion the board agreed to cap the costs at $50,000.
Board members Cynthia Miller and David Hess created a resolution in order to form guidelines for people seeking appointments to township positions, such as the

Police Blotter
Retail theft
On Feb. 25 at 11:45 p.m., CRPD responded to Walmart in Lower Nazareth Township for a retail theft. Infintile Rountree, 35 of Easton, had placed three unpaid watches in a Walmart bag. He then failed to scan some of his items (cards, roses, cookware and decorations) while using the self checkout. The total value was $66.99. Rountree attempted to exit the store without paying for the items. He was stopped and placed under arrest by the police. The CRPD also found marijuana and drug paraphernalia on Rountree’s person. Rountree will be mailed a summons for retail theft, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving under suspension.

Retail theft charges were filed.

The Cement News, our local paper, wrote, “There is consequent rejoicing in the Lehigh Cement region, though a large portion of cement may have been drawn from stock.”
For our Whitehall- Coplay readers, the Whitehall School District hired a well-known Whitehall teacher as superintendent. Remember George Gockley?
The paper stated, “His selection was from a field of 49 who
were anxious to succeed W.D. Landis, who resigned. He graduated from Schaefferstown High School, receiving his bachelor's degree from Muhlenberg College and teaching degree from West Chester. He taught science for 15 years and was faculty manager of athletics. His salary was fixed at $3,500. School board officers were Lewis Rice, president; Harold Peters, vice president; Roy Berger, secretary; and Carson Semmel, treasurer. Other directors were Charles Snyder, Tilghman Fenstermaker and Thomas Frederick.
The Northampton School District gave a new contract to Dr. George A. Eichler. He had just completed eight years as super-
intendent. Eichler’s contract was renewed for another four years at a fixed salary of $3,800.
If you needed a tire for your automobile, Quality Service Station in Northampton had your tire, starting at $7.60 to $14.50.
Lerner’s on Main Street had Gibbs arch support shoes for ladies for $2.98 and back to school shoes for children for $1.48 and $1.98. Color choices were black and brown.
Meixsell’s Drug Store had toothpaste, two for 26 cents, and toothbrushes were two for 51 cents.
If you had 15 cents, you could stop at the Roxy on Tuesday or Wednesday. Sonja Henie and Don Ameche starred in “Happy Landing.”
There was a ladies’ special, a free 8-inch platter from Blue Bell Dining. In 20 weeks, you could have a complete set.
Miller’s had a special on Lux soap- three for 25 cents- and a can of Spry shortening for 75 cents.
Hope inflation improves in two weeks. See you then.

Allen Supervisors

be “very apparent” at the intersection of Indian Trail and Kreidersville roads.
Supervisor Dale Hassler would like PennDOT to take further precaution by blocking half of Indian Trail Road so only vehicles can enter. He also said a semi-barrier should be placed at Millrace and Kohls roads, limiting these streets to local traffic only.
While the township will explore these cautionary measures, they will also notify neighboring Northampton Borough to expect impacts on Cherryville Road.
Hassler, the township’s fire chief, added that the fire department already has rescue routes figured out for homes on Indian Trail Road.
Construction is expected to last until September 2024.
Traffic also continues to be a concern on Willowbrook Road. Eckhart has communicated with the owners of the Geodis property to address the queuing issues
caused by increased tractor-trailer traffic.
The property owners are currently working with tenants to address these issues. In the meantime, Eckhart has asked the state police to increase monitoring in the area. Supervisors have also approved a draft ordinance prohibiting parking, standing, or stopping on both sides of Willowbrook Road.
In other news, supervisors also heard a zoning amendment request from Jaindl-Watson for 558 Savage Rd.
This nine-acre plot of land is currently zoned neighborhoodcommercial. Although the land was rezoned for Jaindl to allow for the construction of retail and restaurants, the developer has argued that commercial space is no longer marketable. Instead, they asked supervisors whether they would consider a text amendment to allow apartments on the property as a conditional use.
Nicole Galio, Director of Engineering and Design, said 80 units would be developed on 3.75 acres. The remaining land would serve as open space. Apartment buildings would be three stories
(35 feet) high. Supervisors were not on board with this request. Hassler said he would not approve three-story apartments due to fire safety concerns. He also cited the property’s past rezoning battle. At the time, Jaindl proposed apartments. That plan was rejected by supervisors and rezoned to allow for retail space instead.
“The zoning was changed… for the Jaindl people in the first place,” he said.
“I am surprised you are saying [retail] is not marketable,” added Behler. He said a selling point for rezoning the property was that it would be close to residential areas so residents could walk to shops and restaurants. Improvements, like a pedestrian bridge and walking path, have already been added to the property.
“Whether it is marketable or not is not really Allen Township’s problem,” he said. Supervisors unanimously agreed.
Finally, Jacob Schock, president of the Allen Township Volunteer Fire Company, presented the company’s apparatus plan update.
The department is still waiting on the delivery of a new pumper truck, which was approved in August 2021. The truck should have been delivered in October 2022. However, manufacturing and material delays have postponed that delivery until the end of 2023.
“What used to be a 15-to-18month process is now a four-year process,” Schock explained to supervisors.
The fire company has planned to replace its 20-year-old tanker
and its 15-year-old engine, consolidating both into one truck. This new truck will transport six to eight firefighters and be more efficient and maintainable for the department. Because of delays, Schock says the fire department must accelerate its planning.
“It is apparent to us that buying trucks is not the way it used to be,” he said. “To stay within the 20-year replacement cycle, we need to move faster.”
Supervisors agreed, with Behler adding that it is the township’s responsibility to ensure the fire department gets the equipment they need.
Supervisors asked Schock to start the process by collecting details, specs, manufacturer and product lists, and costs.
The next Board of Supervisors meeting will be Tuesday, March 14 at 6 p.m. Supervisors will also hold a Capital Improvements Plan workshop on Thursday, March 16 at 6 p.m.
recreation board, to clarify points which had previously been unwritten. Township Solicitor David Backenstoe reviewed the resolution and asked Miller and Hess to clarify a few points. The board discussed the matter, and Backenstoe will make the approved edits and provide a final draft for the board to review before the next meeting.
Township Manager Alice Rehrig sought the board’s approval to advertise for summer help, which was granted. She reported that the First Regional Compost Authority will be launching an event called Mulch Madness, in which a $10 fee will allow entrance to come and take as much mulch as residents wish, due to there being a surplus. This event will take place on Friday, March 24 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, March 25 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 6701 Weaversville Rd., Northampton. Anyone with questions in regards to Mulch
Madness can call
610-262-1000. Rehrig also advised the board that in May or June, construction will begin on the small bridge on Indian Trail Road near Kohls Road in Allen Township, and will take about a year. Because the planned detour will be Walnut Drive, residents will need to be aware of the circumstances. Rehrig is trying to work with PennDOT regarding the damaged signal pole on Route 248, and hopes to have an update on that soon.
Solicitor Backenstoe is working with the attorney overseeing the Turkey Hill project, and reported that things are finally starting to move forward.
Patrick VanderPloeg of the recreation board brought forward a township resident question. The resident has solar panels on his house, and had to pay a variance because of this, and was curious as to how the township uses the variance money.
Backenstoe explained that this money does not go to the township, which does not make any overhead from the variance; the money is used to cover administrative costs incurred by the township relevant to the solar panels. The board then adjourned for an executive session.
The next meeting of the Board of Supervisors is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14 at 7 p.m. in the municipal building at 1069 Municipal Rd., Walnutport.

Bath Borough Council hears Complaints, announces Upcoming events
By SAVANNAH BROWN
The Bath Borough Council met Monday, March 6 to discuss upcoming events including “Spuds Lite” and had a lengthy public comment section.
First, Mayor Fiorella Mirabito began with a moment of silence to honor two borough residents that recently passed: Margie Rehrig, a longtime resident and one of three founding members of the Bath Museum, and Don Remaly, who donated a year of his life to helping Bath renovate the municipal building including all of the electrical work. Mayor Mirabito shared a heartfelt poem and extended her sincerest condolences to their families.
Next, Mayor Mirabito and Vice President Frank Hesch commemorated Eagle Scout David
M. Heintzelman with a certificate of recognition for his exemplary work in upgrading the Borough of Bath signage with dedication and commitment. Heintzelman not only worked on cleaning up the signage and restoring it, but also illuminating the signage and improving the landscaping around it.
During public comment, several residents voiced concerns regarding two unsightly trash problems in the borough. Resident Darrin Heckman spearheaded the discussion, pointing out that the downtown area along West Main Street has garbage cans, boxes of trash, furniture, and other debris on the sidewalks in public view.
Additionally, Heckman and other residents also voiced con-
cern regarding the two bright red trash bins that are in Monocacy Creek Park. Heckman explained there are two permanent trash receptacles in the park and that he has picked up the two bins multiple times because they have blown over since there was barely anything in them. Heckman and other residents expressed that the red bins are unsightly and that the borough should get rid of them.
President Michele Ehrgott replied that the red bins are for the Public Works Department and suggested possibly switching out the red bins for green ones and placing them in areas that are not so visible.
Next, developer of the Bath View Condos, Justin Huratiak, voiced concerns regarding a recent request for a temporary code official inspection of the shell of the building, which was scheduled for the previous Friday, but was canceled by the Bath code official.
Huratiak expressed that he is under a time crunch because he is less than 60 days from what he stated is an achievable date with eight tentative tenants who are ready to move in on May 1.
Although some items to complete the condos are on backorder and have caused multiple setbacks, the eight units that will be occupied and the leasing office will be ready for inspection by that time. Therefore, Huratiak is requesting a temporary occupancy permit for the parts of the building that are completed and code compliant.
Solicitor James F. Kratz stated that he would reach out to the code official to explain what Huratiak is requesting and ask him about why he canceled the inspection.
Following, Jennifer George reiterated her concerns regarding the recent shooting on February 3, stating that the borough does not need a study to figure out if a police presence is needed.
George expressed that she was woken up at 1:45 a.m. to the gunshots and that the police did not arrive until 2:04 a.m., which was not a three-minute response time that the borough claims.
However, Mayor Mirabito explained that the response time was in relation to when the state police received the call about the incident.
Councilman Manny Mirabito added that even if the borough had their own police department, if no one called them, they would not have gotten there any sooner than the state police did.

Northampton Borough prepares for Pool opening, opens park permits
By KERI LINDENMUTH
Despite the winter weather, Northampton Borough is already looking ahead to summer days and is preparing for a successful pool season. Borough Manager LeRoy Brobst updated borough council on the latest news during their workshop meeting on March 2. Several pool improvements are planned. On February 28, a meeting was held with a vendor to discuss options for repainting the pool. New equipment, including a slide and diving boards, have also been ordered.
However, lifeguards remain the biggest concern for the borough. The borough’s priority is ensuring there are enough lifeguards to monitor the pool, allowing it to stay open. Brobst announced a “surprising” number of applicants have already shown interest.
The borough is also preparing the local parks for the warm weather. Resident park permits became available on March 1. Turnout is expected to be “significant,” said Brobst. Residents can make park reservations by calling the borough. 2023 fees range from $55 to $100. Non-residents can apply for permits starting on April 3. Fees for non-residents range from $100 to $150.
Work on the Canal Park butterfly garden is also continuing.
The borough is exploring the possibility of a mini-grant through the Lehigh Heritage Corridor to help with the construction of the park’s garden and monarch waystations.
In other news, it was announced that the annual Easter egg hunt will be held on Saturday, April 1 at 11 a.m. at Municipal Park. An egg stuffing seminar will
be held on Wednesday, March 29 at 5:30 p.m. at borough hall. Meanwhile, the fire department’s February 25 purse bingo was declared a success. It raised roughly $6,000.
Finally, resident Tiffany Crush was appointed to the borough’s Zoning Hearing Board. Applications are still welcome to fill a vacancy on the borough’s Planning Commission.
The next borough council meeting will be held Thursday, March 16 at 7 p.m.

100th girls Wrestling Program Celebrated In
Pa.
Submitted by JORDAN WALTERS
Lawmakers, advocates and stakeholders gathered in Harrisburg on Tuesday, February 21 to celebrate the creation of the 100th girls wrestling program in Pennsylvania.
Rep. Ann Flood (R-Northampton) and Sen. Scott Martin (RLancaster/Berks) noted that the creation of 100 programs fulfills the requirement for the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) to sanction the sport statewide.
“I was honored to be a part of this incredible achievement in women’s sports,” said Flood. “While wrestling is traditionally a male-dominated sport, the rise of girl’s high school wrestling is breaking down barriers and creating new opportunities for female athletes.
“Girl’s wrestling has grown immensely in popularity throughout the country, and it is encouraging to see the tremendous evolution in the number of programs created in every corner of the state over the past several years,” Martin said. “I am thankful that so many schools are now giving girls the opportunity to compete and have PIAA-sanctioned championship events in the near future.”
According to the National Wrestling Coaches Association, girls wrestling is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country at the scholastic and collegiate levels. At the end of 2021, only 31 schools in Pennsylvania had established girls wrestling programs. Fifty-eight more teams were created in 2022 alone, more than doubling the previous number of schools that offered these programs.
“We have momentum. We have energy. Let’s not stop at 100 programs,” said PIAA Executive Director Robert A. Lombardi. “We need more female coaches, officials and administrators. We want this sport to continue to grow and stand the test of time.”
Flood and Martin credited the nonprofit group SanctionPA for supporting the rapid growth of girls wrestling through advocacy efforts, educational resources, promotional materials and collaboration with schools.
"SanctionPA operates under the viewpoint that if you create equitable opportunities for girls athletics, growth will follow. And growth has indeed followed,” said SanctionPA President Brooke Zumas. “We congratulate each and every school and athlete, past and present, who helped pave the pathway for the great sport of girls wrestling in Pennsylvania and we look forward to the sponsorship of this great sport by our state association."
The news conference was attended by athletes, coaches and athletic directors from numerous Pennsylvania schools who have formed girls wrestling programs, including JP McCaskey High School, Lancaster School District, Penn Manor School District, Souderton High School, Cumberland Valley, North Allegheny, Easton, Pennridge, and more.
“The school district is proud to be the 100th school, but is more proud to stand with all schools and student athletes who can now compete in new opportunities for groundbreaking sports like this,” said Pennridge Athletic Director Scott Hegen. “The district looks forward to more opportunities where students will be able to excel with no limitations of any kind or bias of any kind.”

If you are caring for someone who is at the middle stages of dementia you likely have many questions - What is known about the middle stages of dementia? What changes can we expect? What approaches can we use? What coping skills can make it less stressful for care partners? Join us for this seminar when Dr. Kelly O'Shea Carney will answer these questions and many more. Leave with a better understanding of what you can expect at this stage of the caregiving journey.
