Cement history

In today’s column, we will be remembering some old cement companies in Bath and Nazareth.

The plants provided employment for many of our local residents. Several years ago, Mr. Blaine Hoffmeister, of Bath and a former fine student of this writer, shared some postcards and photographs with our readers. The Bath Portland Cement Company was founded in 1904. The president of the company was Mr. Fred Franks, who was instrumental in organizing local cement companies. Many old

Bath Borough Council

Considers

Shift from Zoom to audio File upload For meetings

By SAVANNAH BROWN

The Bath Borough Council met Monday, May 13 with a brief agenda.

The first order of business included council’s consideration of an alternative to the Zoom meeting livestream due to Zoom’s new protocols that have made connection difficult, which is why Zoom has not been working properly during council meetings as of late.

In response, council unanimously approved the switch from Zoom to uploading meeting audio files to the borough website during the days following each meeting.

During borough administrative reports, Borough Engineer Ronald Madison shared that Colliers Engineering & Design is hoping to get UGI to move their utility relocation for the PennDOT Route 248 project, which will require an easement at Monocacy Park.

Madison also noted that all of the easement documents have been sent to Northampton Area School District for the MS4 raingarden on a detention basin on their property.

Borough Manager Bradford T. Flynn noted that upcoming Public Works Department projects will include fixing potholes with the water authority where a few water mains have been fixed, as well as several striping and curb

East Allen Supervisors reject Pay increase for next term

By KERI LINDENMUTH

During their Thursday, May 9 meeting, East Allen Township Supervisors rejected a draft ordinance that would increase supervisor pay. Per state mandate, township supervisors are eligible for a yearly pay increase once the township population surpasses 5,000.

The current yearly rate is $1,875. The ordinance proposed an increase to $2,500, per state guidelines. The increase would go into effect during the next term, meaning no supervisor would be eligible for compensation before re-election.

Supervisor Mark Schwartz made a motion to approve the draft ordinance.

“The population has gotten over the mark,” he said. “It’s statecontrolled…we’re just going with the scale they have created,” said Schwartz.

Supervisor Georgiann Hunsicker also voted in favor.

However, Supervisors Roger Unangst and Christopher Cruz voted against the motion. Supervisor Don Heiney was absent. With this tie, the motion failed. Cruz voiced discomfort with the ordinance in a past meeting.

“I am totally against it," he said during an April 11 meeting. "This is taxpayer money…We’re doing what’s best for the township."

While all supervisors agreed that they did not seek office for

While pollinators are important to the ecosystem, carpenter bees are destructive and must be dealt with quickly to avoid damage to your property.

What Are Carpenter Bees?

Oh, and they’ll likely be boring into wood in and around your home, which is something bumble bees won’t do.

4 Ways to Get Rid of Carpenter Bees

notice bee activity.

Plug the Holes

With pest control, it’s important to know what you’re dealing with before you hatch a game plan. And when it comes to bees, you’ll need to first determine whether you’ve got a swarm of bumble bees or carpenter bees buzzing about before

There are several ways to eliminate the threat of carpenter bees. Choosing one will depend on the severity of the swarm, though you might want to follow one or more of the following methods for a quicker resolution. Apply Insecticide Sprays and Dusts

While immediate attention is necessary to protect the integrity of the wooden structures on your property, Shannon Harlow-Ellis, associate certified entomologist at Mosquito Joe, says prevention might not be all that labor-intensive.

like—they lure and trap bees until your pest problem is solved. These traps are made from wood because that’s what the bees are after in the first place. They're usually easy to install on your house or other structures.

“Simple measures like filling holes with a durable substance or wood putty, sealing them with caulk, and wrapping untreated wood in vinyl can provide protection,” she says.

Home Improvement

Fall is the perfect time to tackle almost any home improve-

attempting any pesticides or natural pest control methods. Carpenter bees don’t have hair on their abdomens, so they present a smoother appearance than their bumble bee counterparts. Carpenter bees are slightly larger than bumble bees, plus you might notice that they have a distinctive flight pattern. Rather than the more direct line bumble bees follow—it’s not called a “beeline” for nothing—carpenter bees move through the air like they’re chasing each

She adds that sealing or painting wood is another way to ward off carpenter invasions, so this might be the time to restain your deck.

6 home improvement ideas for fall

Jim Buick, associate certified entomologist at Fox Pest Control, says the pros apply insecticidal dust right into the dug-out chambers of the carpenter bees. Then, they apply a residual liquid application to any exposed wood nearby to prevent carpenter bees from taking up residence there.

can finally get organized. More importantly, there are some home improvement projects that should be done during fall. Read on to find the must-do list that any homeowner must check off before the winter chill sets in.

Get your mind in the gutter

Cleaning your gutters may not be the most pleasant thing to do, but it is a necessity. Gutters divert hundreds of gallons of water away from your home. With the increased volume of leaves coming down in fall, gutters are at real risk of clogging, and this can

In addition to wooden siding, decks and window frames, Buick says points of concern would be exposed fascia wood along the roofline, door trims, fencing and any ornamental structure, like pergolas.

Buick recommends spraying in early spring, such as April and early May, when you might first

Spray Natural Repellents

The trap typically has angled holes that will draw the bees in. Happy to have gotten a break from doing all the work for once, the bee will emit a signal from the inside that will attract other bees. The trap also has a glass mason jar at the bottom into which the bees will fall and remain trapped because the opening is larger than their wingspan.

A quick windows check-up always contains:

Making sure the locks are functioning properly

lead to water damage to your roof and exterior of your home in addition to flooding your basement.

So, the first home improvement project to tackle this fall should be cleaning your gutters and installing gutter guards to protect them from additional debris, ensuring there will be less work to do next year.

Inspect your roof

Lavender oil, citronella oil and a citrus scent in general are known to be highly repulsive to carpenter bees, Buick says. Take advantage of this knowledge by filling a spray bottle with water, adding some drops of essential oil—pick your favorite from among the ones carpenter bees hate—and spray near wood structures to keep the bees at bay.

Install Traps

Carpenter bee traps are exactly what they sound

Make sure your home stays warm and dry during winter with a solid roof. Stay ahead of any roof trouble and inspect it thoroughly or, better yet, hire a professional to do it. Check that your roof has not sprung any leaks during the past year, and replace any shingles that are cracked, missing or curling. Regular inspections and maintenance of your roof will help prolong its life. If your roof does need major repairs or replacements, consider gathering multiple estimates from reputable contractors.

Give your windows a thorough check-up

Heat leakage from windows can have a severe impact on your energy bills during the cooler seasons. It is no wonder that savvy home owners always make it a point to check on their windows during fall, before the cold weather kicks in.

“Carpenter bees certainly have a place in our ecosystem and are important pollinators of many flowering plants—but they become pests when they cause potential damage to wooden structures inhabited by humans,” says Buick.

Inspecting the weather stripping – start with the sides of your window sash and check if the stripping is intact in the place where the frame meets the sash. Next, tilt the sash and check the weather stripping on its inside. If they are both intact, you’re good to go!

Checking the sealant or caulk to make sure it doesn’t need to be touched up.

Regarding the threat of stings, only female carpenter bees have stingers, and they won’t be too inclined to use them against humans—unless you provoke them or try to do some burrowing of your own in the holes they’ve bored into the wood.

Prepare your deck and patio for winter

Clean your patio furniture thoroughly before putting it away for the winter. Empty the dirt in any decorative clay or ceramic pots – otherwise it can freeze and crack the pots. More importantly, check for any cracks or dents in your deck or patio. If there are any, you should fix them as a matter of priority. Any small problem you have now will grow bigger during the cold season, especially if water gets into the cracks and freezes.

Inspect your heating system and chimneys Whatever heating system you are using, now is the perfect time to get it checked. Take the opportunity to also inspect any smoke and fire detectors, carbon monoxide detectors.

If you plan to use your fireplace, the chimney must be inspected by a professional. You

the pay, those in favor of the increase primarily cited the state’s guidelines, which would put them on par with other municipalities.

In other news, Tim McCarthy, managing partner of Traditions of America, appeared before the board for a status update on his company’s 250-acre active adult community on Locust Road.

A sewer study was authorized by supervisors in March; however, little movement has been made since, said McCarthy. Although the property is in East Allen Township, the sewer systems are in Hanover Township and Bethlehem. McCarthy questioned why letters regarding the study were not sent to the neighboring municipalities.

Township Manager Brent Green explained a change of leadership in Hanover Township has held up the process. The letters have been drafted and are currently being reviewed by engineers and solicitors.

“We can do a study in East Allen, but we don’t own the system in Hanover, and we don’t own the system in Bethlehem, and we don’t control capacity…we don’t have agreements to do any of that,” Green added. All municipalities must work together as a result.

McCarthy also asked why his team has been “prohibited” from contacting the township or its consultants. Green explained this is because of an influx of calls to township staff.

“We were getting calls between five, 10, 15 times a day at multiple levels from different people,” he said. The township asked that the dialogue cease until the sewer study starts. Then, a meeting would be held between the stakeholders.

With the letter in the queue, McCarthy thanked the township and asked to “keep the wheels turning.”

The next East Allen Township Board of Supervisors workshop meeting will be Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m.

Supervisors also approved the title and pay promotions of Stephen Markley from municipal worker to equipment operator and Albert Hawk from municipal laborer to municipal worker.

During the meeting, the Arthofer solar panel farm land development off Grouse and East Beersville Road was unanimously granted two waivers for the planting of two rows of evergreen trees 13 feet from the property line and the watershed area infiltration structure to allow a 2.5 acre and 5.7 acre berm while still maintaining existing water flow systems.

Fire Recorder Jason Harhart reported that the Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Company responded to 102 ambulance calls and 40 fire calls for the month of April, which consisted of one fire, three motor vehicle accidents, two automatic fire alarms, 17 ambulance assists, five trees down, one smoke/ odor investigation, one pump detail, four mutual aid calls with Bath for a motor vehicle

As requested by Community Days, the board unanimously approved obtaining small games of chance and bingo licensure under the township rather than under Community Days, which will allow other organizations to use the license within the township. The licenses cost between $125 and $150 each.

Following, Kevin Sidella from Hera Registry propositioned the board for foreclosure registry services that will put township staff in touch with the individuals accountable for issues regarding foreclosed properties, which has been a reoccurring issue.

Sidella added that the resource helps offset costs associated with the township going after banks to maintain foreclosed properties and the board unanimously granted approval of the program pending the township solicitor’s review of the agreement and proposed ordinance.

Township Manager Stephen Nowroski then presented supervisors with the GoGov Citizen notification and permitting software for their consideration, which would cost $10,500 per year, provide electronic cloud storage for permits that township staff could access while at the office or out in the field and take credit cards for permit fees based on a one-year contract.

After showing second-run movies for almost 91 years, the Roxy Theatre in Northampton has shifted to become a first-run theatre.

The Roxy’s showing of “Dune: Part Two” marked its last sec-

ond-run premiere to the public. “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” will be the theatre’s introductory first-run showing, premiering this weekend.

Owner Richard Wolfe announced on the theatre’s Facebook page last week that the ad-

mission price will be increasing by $1, bringing the ticket cost for all seats to $5.

Wolfe also announced that with this shift to the Roxy’s business model, they will be required to show each movie for two to three weeks.

Following “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” will be “The Garfield Movie,” premiering May 24.

Northampton County Elections Office conducts audits

Submitted

by

BRITTNEY WAYLEN

Last week, the Northampton County Elections Office conducted two types of post-election April 23, 2024 general primary election audits.

Pennsylvania law requires counties to perform a 2% statistical sample audit. The statistical recount is a random sample of at least 2% of the ballots cast or 2,000 ballots, whichever number is fewer. The recount is conducted using manual, mechanical or electronic devices of a type different than those used for the specific election.

The Northampton County Elections Office randomly selected four precincts, one each from within the four County Council districts to meet the 2% statistical sample. The final precincts that were selected were Bethlehem

14-2, Hanover 1, Forks Eastern 1 and Lehigh Township Central. There were a total of 1,330 ballots counted. The ballots were run through the DS950 scanner again to make sure the results matched the initial count.

The Department of State also selected Northampton County at random to participate in a Risk Limiting Audit (RLA) of the election results for the April 23, 2024, general primary election.

The Department of State randomly selected a number of counties to participate in the post-election RLA. The RLA is a procedure that uses statistical methods to confirm election outcomes and to detect possible interference. RLAs examine a random sample of paper and machine ballots, comparing the votes on paper to

the totals reported by the votecounting machines to ensure that the reported outcome of the contest being audited is correct.

The Department of State selected three random batches of ballots (two batches of absentee/ mail-in ballots and one canister of machine ballots) for the RLA. The batches were each run through a Central Scanner and then counted by hand tally for the two candidates from the State Treasurer (Democratic) race.

The results from both audits matched the initial counts.

Freeman bill

To help craft Breweries, Distilleries

Passes Pa. House

Submitted by TOM ANDREWS

Craft breweries and distilleries in Pennsylvania that provide onpremises consumption could remain open past midnight on New Year's Eve and one other designated day a year, under legislation which passed the House of Representatives, according to prime sponsor State Rep. Robert Freeman.

“With its rich, brewing history dating back to the 19th century, Pennsylvania has become a fertile ground for the burgeoning craft beer movement. The commonwealth boasts an array of craft breweries (over 500 in total producing more than 3 million barrels per year) each contributing its precise taste to the state’s brewing narrative,” said Freeman, D-Northampton. “The Weyerbacher Brewing Co. and Two Rivers Brewing Co., both located in my hometown of Easton, have been trailblazers in introducing unique and experimental beers to the Pennsylvania craft beer scene for some time.”

To help the craft beer movement continue to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace, Freeman introduced H.B. 2150 to allow breweries that provide onpremises consumption to remain open past midnight on New Year's Eve until 2 a.m. on New Year's Day. The businesses also would be allowed to apply for a one-time use permit to remain open until 2 a.m. on one other day of their choosing during the year. Breweries currently are only allowed to provide sales until midnight Monday through Saturday and 11 p.m. on Sundays.

The bill was amended to include distilleries.

“Adding this flexibility to operating hours would enable these businesses to remain competitive during the New Year’s holiday and allow for late hours if they are

Traditions of Hanover staff participated in team building challenges with help from Rise Up Equestrians. Using horses and some props, staff developed deeper connections as they worked together to complete various activities stationed along the walking path at the senior living community.

“It was great to see people grow before your eyes. Some of our staff were nervous about working with the animals, but by the end of the challenges, they were relaxed and

holding a special event during the year,” Freeman said.

“Unlike the impersonal nature of heavily produced beers, craft breweries frequently emphasize community involvement and aid. This experience of belonging extends past the brewing technique, fostering a connection between brewers and purchasers. Brewery excursions, tastings and occasions similarly enlarge the community experience, supplying structures for breweries to showcase their creations and for beer fans to discover new flavors.”

House Bill 2150 heads to the state Senate for consideration.

genuinely enjoying themselves in the activities,” Executive Director Cathy Heimsoth said.

The unique experience allowed employees to work on important interpersonal and team skills. The presence of horses, known for their sensitivity to nonverbal cues, allowed the team to gain perspective and insight into the importance of developing stronger communication and leadership skills.

“You could see the connection between the staff; it brought many happy faces to the staff and the residents who watched, too,” said Heimsoth.

The kitchen table can be a distraction. A bonus room offers peace and privacy and is excellent for use as a home office. Andy and Marge can work independently on their projects and, as Marge says, “get stuff done.” With a little more room they can also hold on to their most sentimental belongings.
