East Allen Supervisors affirm PC-2 zoning for land along 512 By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
A petition by Richard and Rhonda Bartolacci to amend the zoning ordinance for 15 acres of land that they had planned since 2005 to turn into a development of upscale homes called Locus Manor was turned down on Thursday by the East Allen Township Board of Supervisors. They voted to have the land zoned PC-2 or planned com-

mercial rather than A/RR agricultural/rural residential. Civil engineer Michael Russak went through three pages of correspondence and decision making from 2005 to 2010 that went through the Planning Commission, Zoning Hearing Board and Supervisors, and finally ended on Thursday. The Bartolacci’s had appealed the ZHB decision in 2010 to make it A/ RR, but the board upheld the PC-2 ruling that was made earlier. Russak said it meant “the end of the road” for the Bartolacci’s plans of a nine-lot subdivision. Part of the correspondence showed that some of the land would be allowed for a selfContinued on page 3

Former Andretti home hit by fire By BILL HALBFOERSTER & JOE KORBA The Home News
A State Police fire marshal from Troop M has said that the fire that heavily damaged a Nazareth home last Thursday was sparked by a lawn mower whose engine was still hot as the mower was put next to combustible materials in the garage. The report was issued by
Cpl. William Brett, who said the homeowner had just finished mowing the lawn at 53 Victory Lane about 6:15 p.m. and pulled the mower into the garage next to the wall of the home. The fire was reported at 7:04 p.m. Now owned by Jamie and Shelley Kardelis, the home was built originally by racing legend Mario Andretti in 1967. It was then called Market St.,
but the name was changed to Victory Lane after he won the Indianapolis 500 race in 1969. Vigilance Hose Co. of Nazareth first responded to the fire, bringing it under control in an hour, but the interior of the stone home was believed a total loss. The Kardelis’ have two children, Tabitha and Tanner. No one was injured and two family cats were saved.
Smoke and fire can be seen at Nazareth home fire on Thursday. –Photo by Tracy Berger-Carmen

Gab Over the Fence by Pete G. Ossip We haven’t had any spring showers to speak of, and things are getting pretty dry. The weather forecast is for rain on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, and that should help. But I don’t doubt we’re gonna see “no burning” notices up pretty soon. We don’t need any brush or forest fires like they’ve been having down in Jersey for the past couple of weeks. . . .The spring flowers are really coming out now, and the trees with their flowers look beautiful, the grass is getting greener, and the song birds are happy. It’s a great time of the year, don’t you agree. . . . .I’m glad to be getting some sleep now that the Phillies are back east. They didn’t do bad on their western trip, so let’s hope that keeps up, and they do even better. . . . Local golfers are trying all the courses in this area, but Herb Silfies says none around here are as tough as over in Scotland, where he played a few years ago. . . . If you heard a lot of laughing on Sunday, it came from the congregation down at the U.C.C. church as they celebrated Holy Humor Sun-
day. Everybody got in the act, even the preacher of the day, I hear. . . . Turkey hunters will be looking for a nice gobbler come this Saturday. I hear Ed Tanczos was telling the gang the other day that he saw some turkeys with their beards cut off when the ice froze ‘em up this past winter. . . . Mario Andretti got some bad news the other day down in Florida when he found out the home he built in Nazareth had a big fire the other day. . . . Sorry to hear about John Topfer, Danny Diehl and Jean Keller all passing away in the last few days. . . . Ye Ed went down Hellertown way the other day and wondered how Dino Fantozzi was doing. He lives, or he did live, by the bridge that overlooks I-78. . . . Talk about the George Washington Bridge tie-up. I hear it’s a traffic nightmare with the Easton – Phillipsburg bridge where they’re doing some kinda clean-up that’s costing plenty of money and the workers are all covered up in suits to protect them from lead paint or whatever chemical it is that covers the steel work. . . . Enjoy the April shower. It brings May flowers. See ya!

One item that will be obtained is a bucket truck. • Four part-time employees were hired for summer work in the public works department: Jordan Meixsell, Stephen Pasco, Brandon Brader, and Kyle Reaser. All had been interviewed before they were approved. The supervisors also hired a full-time employee for public works, Jason Klotz. He had been a parttimer before.

Public Works The Public Works foreman noted that mowing and line painting has started at the
parks. . . .Winter equipment has been put away and summer equipment brought out. He said other counties have an organization in which municipal road departments get together. Northampton County now has one as well. They all had winter problems. They are expected to share equipment when needed. Road repairs will be done as more tax money comes in. Potholes are being patched.

Natural Perspectives For the Health-Minded Individual DR. GLENN CLEARIE DC www.drclearie.com
The Cost of Sickness
I recently had a person express to me that they would not implement the changes I recommended to their diet as it cost way too much. Asking patients to stop eating excessive wheat products, nutrient poor food, and reduce the intake of soda and other harmful beverages is a first step in many road to health recovery programs. In making these changes, this individual has become aware that the “replacement cost” for real, wholesome food, has skyrocketed within the last few years. Like taxes, I don’t think any of us believe prices will go down. Salad greens, vegetables, fruits, and oils require a considerable allocation of financial resources. The discussion, of course, was unsettling to me as the real issue isn’t the price of eating well. The real issue is the long term cost of eating poorly. With this being said, the impending sickness and disease care later in life costs far more than purchasing better food now. While consuming nutrient-devoid, processed food is cheap, it saps health over the long haul. Again, I understand the dilemma between paying for better food or paying for the heat during winter or clothing for children. While upsetting, It is not surprising, that diseases of many types, such as diabetes, is on the rise. Leading health experts generally agree that food and beverage choices we make over our lifetime has a significant impact on
health. I am sure you would agree that this is a fairly obvious observation. The correlation between poor food choices now and sickness later is getting clearer and clearer. High blood pressure, abnormal blood chemistry, widespread and low grade inflammation are a direct result of the cheap, high fructose corn syrup products that are consumed often. Hydrogenated oil is another cheap additive that slowly robs our vigor and vitality. Please don’t worry however as pharmaceutical companies are here to save the day……… Oftentimes, the individuals that need to eat drastically better but don’t due to cost are the same individuals that pay a few hundred dollars per month for prescription co-pays. Imagine if insurance didn’t cover prescriptions at all? We would then really see the true cost of sickness and consider buying salad and vegetables on a regular basis as not too expensive after all! While clearly understanding the financial burden eating better can place on an individual, I am sure you would agree that returning to home fries and pancakes for breakfast, pizza for lunch, and pasta for dinner is not a good healthy alternative. My hope is that this week’s article was food for thought. Always my best to you.

In December they will have their 34th annual Christmas House Tour. They recently sponsored their sixth annual antiques show, which was attended by 700 persons. On May 16-17 will be the Country Garden Faire noted above. Rauber reported that one of the society’s members belong to BRAVO (Battlefield Restoration & Archeological Volunteer Organization). They did metal detecting to seek objects that may have been buried over the hundreds of years at the Wolf Academy property in Jacksonville. East Stroudsburg University students came to the Academy campus to learn about archeology and did a dig. A similar dig was done by pupils from Harrison Morton Middle School and another is scheduled by Broughal Middle School students from Bethlehem. The society has 180 members, and Ms. Power said constant maintenance is involved with their buildings. They plan to restore the Ralston-McKeen House to its original architecture. The society representatives said they appreciate the support of East Allen Township. Supervisors Chairman Roger Unangst said American history is not taught in schools anymore. Ms. Power noted that many schools in this area bear the name Wolf, and the children don’t know its origin. Gov. George Wolf, for whom the schools are named, was the seventh Governor of Pennsylvania and founded the free school system. He studied as a boy in the Wolf Academy. The Gov. Wolf Historical Society originally was called the Wolf Academy Restoration Society, founded by the late Atty. Elias W. Spengler.

Grow UR Biz in 2014 – Well Done By CAROL RITTER
I had the privilege many years ago of being trained by the United States Army. I spent a weekend at the U. S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Memorable, oh yea! I was like a kid in a candy shop absorbing every single leadership lesson they had to offer. The purpose of US Army War College is to produce graduates from all of their courses who are skilled critical thinkers and complex problem solvers, Well done! I remember that all the lessons had a strong training component. In the military, if you are not doing your job, you are learning more about how to do your job. Well done. What about your business? Does your company have a commitment to training and a company culture laced with versatility? I’ve worked for many companies over the years where training was not at the top of the agenda. Putting out fires, solving problems, grabbing revenue and taking care of customers seems, sometimes, to take precedence over training. I remember many years ago, I showed up for my first day of work with no knowledge of how to do the job and was thrown into a customer service position with ZERO training. YIKES! Not too Well Done! Sometimes it’s even worse if you sit on a nonprofit board. Board members will say that they have no di-
rection, no purpose. Training can be an insightful way to spark new ideas, to make an employee or volunteer feel like they belong and it can become the launch pad for productivity. Some ideas... Include 10 to 15 minutes of training at all staff meetings Take random opportunities to teach the company culture Smash the Box and send them out of the office for training Appoint someone as your company trainer, challenge them to bring fascinating stuff to the table and build a climate filled with fun and energy and watch the productivity go way up- WELL DONE! I just heard of a progressive software company that offers training to employees that has nothing to do with the job, just to keep them passionate, energized and dedicated to the mission. That’s really WELL DONE! Carol S. Ritter, Motivational Speaker www.caroltalks.com 610-442-4545
Local Scholarships Awarded Submitted by Peggy Moser On Thursday, at the D.A.R. Cabin in Bethlehem, students from six local high schools were awarded scholarship checks from the Bethlehem Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This year’s winners were Nicholas Karabin from Bethlehem Catholic High School, Michael Samuelson from Freedom High School, Nadine Elsayed from Liberty High School, George A. Persin from Moravian Academy, Elizabeth M. Myers, and Patrick E. Jackson of Saucon Valley High School. In April of every year, the Bethlehem Chapter of the DAR awards some of the top students of participating local high schools. The students are given blank sheets of paper, and with no preparation they are asked to write a 500 word essay answering the DAR question of that year. Due to the level at which these students compete, the DAR representatives stated that it was very hard to pick the best essay. This year’s first place winner was Michael Samuelson from Freedom High School, and his essay will be entered into the state level of competition. This is just one of the beneficial events the DAR holds to help people of the local communities. Every May they hold our yard sale to raise money for our programs, which include
educational and military projects. On Saturday, May 17th at 8 a.m., they are holding their next annual yard sale at the DAR Cabin on 8th Avenue in Bethlehem. There will be something for everyone, except large furniture. The money that is raised also goes for a scholarship to a local ROTC college student. DAR also built and supports DAR schools in some
of the poorer areas of the United States. Once a year they, hold a clothing drive for those school students. They also financially help the students attend summer camp. Food drives for local food banks are held every year, along with gifts to current soldiers in the military.

Statewide Turkey Season Starts This Saturday, May 3
Another spring gobbler season is getting underway. Last Saturday, April 26 was the youth spring turkey hunt, when junior hunters and mentored youth were accompanied by an adult hunter. Now, hunters of all ages can participate in the opener of the statewide spring gobbler season, which starts this Saturday, May 3 and runs through May 31. The season that awaits promises to be a memorable one for Pennsylvania’s turkey hunters, said Mary Jo Casalena, the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s wild turkey biologist. While the statewide turkey population has experienced moderate declines in recent years, Pennsylvania hunters for nearly 20 years have consistently harvested more than 30,000 turkeys in the spring season, which is open to hunting only bearded birds – typically males. This year, Casalena said,
hunters should see higher numbers of year-old males – commonly called “jakes” – as a result of above-average reproduction in 2013. The $ 21.70 license ($41.70 for nonresidents) may be purchased online, but cannot be printed at home. Therefore if a hunter expects to need the license early in the season, purchasing it directly from an issuing agent might be better. General hunting licenses purchased online also are sent by mail. Casalena said the spring gobbler seasons likely can’t come too soon for hunters. Pennsylvania has a strong spring turkey hunting tradition. The state has more spring turkey hunters and boasts higher harvests than all other northeastern states, and Pennsylvania’s youth season harvest exceeds the total spring harvest of some states, she said. “With the warm temperatures, songbirds returning, emerging wildflowers and mushrooms blooming, spring gobbler season is a wonderful time of year to enjoy Penn’s Woods, and share the experience with others,” Casalena said.

in Washington’s Light Horse Calvary and said to be one of the company’s best horsemen. One son married Elizabeth Brown, sister of Gen. Robert Brown, who is also buried in Horner’s Cemetery. Another founder of the settlement was Thomas Craig, whose son, also named Thomas, was a general during the Revolutionary War. Thomas was farming at the outbreak of the Revolution. Joining our nation’s first army, he was commissioned a captain on Jan. 5, 1776, fighting in the Battles of Germantown, Monmouth, and Brandywine. It was said he was the first officer to protect the new Continental Congress and survived the bitter winter in Valley Forge. It was Craig who warned Gen. Washington of the British Gen. Howe’s surprise attack on the Continental Army, thus averting a military disaster. He retired in January 1783. In 1874, he was appointed associate judge, clerk of courts and recorder of the county. The famous soldier died at the age of 92 on Jan. 13, 1832,
after giving dedicated service in the formation of our nation. Another illustrious son of the Scot-Irish settlement is General Robert Brown, a son of one of the 16 original pioneer families. A general during the revolution, he became a personal friend of Gen. George Washington. Brown was taken prisoner by the British during the war and was later a part of a prisoner exchange. Brown was Northampton County’s first senator, serving 20 years. He visited his friend George Washington at Mount Vernon, where as a sign of friendship, he was given two chestnut saplings from George Washington’s garden. Carried on horseback, they were planted in 1781. At one point the giant tree had a base circumference exceeded 20 feet. Struck by lightning, nut from the ailing tree were sent to 48 states at the time. The tree of our past is a symbol of the heritage of East Allen Township and is on the township flag with the words, “Settled in 1728, established in 1842.” The Township Flag was designed by a former supervisor, Mr. David Miller. The same symbol and words are on the telephone pole flags on Rt. 329 by the township building. In the northwest corner of
Horner’s Cemetery is a simple stone and American flag marking the grave of Gen. Robert Brown. The inscription is nearly gone, but his contribution and the 21 veterans remembered there can be appreciated each day when we enjoy the freedom these men gave to all of us. I want to thank my friend, Mary Ann Unangst for allowing me to use some of her research from the book “East Allen Township” which she

No word yet from consultant On CRPD for Lower Nazareth By BILL HALBFOERSTER The Home News
Lower Nazareth Township Manager Timm Tenges said on Wednesday, April 23 at the Board of Supervisors meeting that there is nothing new from the consultant they hired to do a comparison of costs for police coverage in the township. A Kutztown University professor on criminal justice was hired to compare figures
on how much the township would be spending for their own police force vs. what they now face in the 2014 budget of the Colonial Regional Police Department. He is expected to have a report ready by the next township meeting on Wednesday, May 14, which will be held in the Lower Nazareth Elementary School at 4 p.m. Asked if the public will be given a report on his find-

ings and when a decision will be made by the supervisors on which way they will go, Tenges said if they get the report on May 14 there will be a discussion, but it is unknown if they will make a decision then. The board will put the latest information on the township’s website. The increase called for in the 2014 CRPD budget for a 25th officer was approved by the Borough of Bath and Hanover Township, but Lower Nazareth rejected it and said they would withdraw from CRPD. They have until July to make a final decision. In any event, Lower Nazareth will have CRPD coverage until

The supervisors voted to negotiate, but not to exceed paying more than $30,000 for it. • Tenges also reported that a state audit of liquid fuels funds used by the township showed them to be in good order. • Engineer Al Kortze reported that DHD Ventures has gone far enough with the Bottom Dollar Foods development that security in the amount of $42,019 could be released. The board approved that amount. • Supervisor James Pennington attended a meeting Continued on page 11

Other Matters • With time expiring for the Brown-Daub development plans on May 31, the supervisors granted an extension to August 27, 2014. • A revised Emergency Operations Plan for the township is being studied. • Tenges reported that Verizon Wireless inquired if the township would allow a cell tower on a property that they own as a yard waste recycling center. Tenges said the company would pay $24,000 a year for wireless access technology. And if they approve additional cell phone carriers, it could amount to $48,000 for the township. He added that there would be no impact on recycling or the public works building. The board then okayed the Verizon tower

Victoria’s Deucenberg Takes Top Honors In Boston
Submitted by JESSICA GOYETTE Local landscape contractor Dave Mirro of Bushkill Township took home three top honors for his entry, a 1932 Ford 5W coupe named “Victoria’s Deucenberg” at the 40th annual Town Fair World of Wheels in Boston, Mass. The show, which featured hundreds of vehicles from around the country, was held March 28 through 30 at the Seaport World Trade Center. Showing the car was Phoenix Rod & Custom owner Glenn Smith, who has exhibited the multiple-award winner at prestigious auto shows across the country. “We’ve shown this beautiful car many times but we got it over the top in Boston by winning Best of Show for the first time,” said Smith, who supervised the car’s complete makeover and customization over a four-year period at Phoenix Rod & Custom.
“We’re thrilled to bring home another winning award for Mr. Mirro.” The five-window fully restored fuscia coupe, whose name was inspired by a courageous little girl adopted from Russia, won three awards at the Boston World of Wheels: Pilgrim Award (best in show), Best Rod, and 1st place in Altered Street Coupe, Pre- 1935. Since its national car show debut in 2010, Victoria’s Deucenberg has won several top category titles at some of the country’s most prestigious auto shows, including four awards at last year’s Chicago World of Wheels. The World of Wheels series is sponsored by Championship Auto Shows, America’s premier custom car show series. “We’re proud that this vintage car always comes away with great notice by the public and the judges,” said Smith. “In Fact, Victoria’s Deucenberg has placed in every show

Cancer Support Community Celebrates 10 Years in Valley
Submitted by PAULA REAM Founded nationally in 1982 by Dr. Harold Benjamin in California, the Cancer Support Community was initially called the Wellness Community. A similar model was developed on the East coast by friends of the late comedienne Gilda Radner, called Gilda’s Clubs, and the two organizations merged in 2009. There are now 55 national but independently operated affiliate locations. Research shows the powerful connection between emotional health and physical well-being during the cancer journey. Locally, the Cancer Support Community is celebrating 10 years in the Greater Lehigh Valley area, continuing Dr. Benjamin’s vision of providing emotional and social support, education, and hope for a better quality of life after a cancer diagnosis strikes you or a loved one, through free programs for anyone affected by cancer. The Cancer Support Community-GLV invites the public to join in celebrating their 10th birthday milestone, at a Red Balloon Celebration and Ice Cream Social on Saturday, May 3, from 1-3pm at 3400 Bath Pike in Bethlehem. The nonprofit organization hopes to fill every room in their building with hundreds

National Day of Prayer
The 63rd annual National Day of Prayer is today, May 1, 2014. This event gives us an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord’s healing and renewing power made manifest as we call on citizens to humbly come before His throne. The theme for 2014 is One Voice, United in Prayer, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to place their faith in the unfailing character of their Creator, who is sovereign over all governments, authorities, and peoples. The Scripture for this year is Romans 15:6: “So that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Anne Graham Lotz, the 2014 Honorary Chairman, has written a special prayer to be simultaneously read throughout the nation at noon (EDT). This recitation will create a huge wave of prayer, flowing from one coast to the other, illustrating the unity of God’s people and acknowledging His dominion over the circumstances facing us as a nation. Please consider reading this prayer at noon today, or later if noon is not possible. “Lord of the Universe. Lord of this planet. Lord of the nations. Lord of our hearts. On this National Day of Prayer, we look to You. In the darkness, You are our Light. In the storm, You are our Anchor. In our weakness, You are our Strength. In our grief, You are our Comfort. In our despair, You are our Hope. In our confusion, You are our Wisdom. In time of terrorism, You are our Shield. In time of war, You are our Peace. In times of uncertainty, You are the Rock on which we stand. “We make our prayer to You using the words of the prophet Daniel: O Lord, You are the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant of love with those who love Him and keep His commandments. You are merciful and forgiving. You are righteous, but this day we are covered with shame because we have sinned against You, and done wrong. We have turned away from Your commands and principles. We have turned away from You. “YetYou have promised in 2 Chronicles 7, that if we–a people identified with You–would humble ourselves, pray, seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways, then You would hear our prayer, forgive our sin and heal our land. So we choose to stop pointing our finger at the sins of others, and examine our own hearts and lives. We choose to acknowledge our own sin–our neglect and defiance and ignorance and even rejection of You. This day we choose to repent. “In response to our heartfelt repentance, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Father of Jesus Christ, in keeping with all Your righteous acts and according to Your promise, turn away Your anger and Your wrath from the United States of America. Hear the prayers and petitions offered to You on this National Day of Prayer, as we give You our full attention. Give ear, our God, and hear; open Your eyes and see. We do not make requests of You because we are righteous, but because of Your great mercy. “For the glory of Your Name hear our prayer, forgive our sin, and heal our land. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ who offers us salvation from Your judgment, forgiveness for our sin, and reconciliation with You through His own blood shed on the Cross. Amen.” This prayer and preceding information comes from Anne Graham Lotz and the 2014 National Prayer task group website. of red balloons, for an unforgettable birthday celebration.

Walking: A Step In The Right Direction Toward Better Health
(NAPS)—Here’s a healthy idea: Let your feet help your heart and improve your well-being. Doctors say walking five days a week for 30 minutes at a time may lower your chances of high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Walking may also make your bones and muscles stronger, burn calories and lift your mood. To start a walking program—or just to walk more—try some tips from the brochure “Walking...A Step in the Right Direction” from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health: Focus On Fun • Walk in places you enjoy, such as a park or shopping center. Make sure that it is safe to do so. • Bring along a friend or family member to chat with or listen to some of your favorite music as you walk. Keep the volume low so that you can hear noises around you.
Bringing compassionate, dependable care to your neighborhood.
Plans built around your needs: Errands, transportation, light housekeeping, care, meal preparation, companionship.
